I've taken the leap off the cliff into trying to put a vid together and I'm just kinda throwing things onto the timeline and trying to match it to the song. The song I'm using is Supernatural by Daughtry and the source I'm using is Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood I converted from 1280x720 mkv files to avi so that they work in Vegas. Link to download and watch hereI don't have an outline at all. My vague idea is just how the power at Mustang's hands is corrupting him or something like that. Probably not what the song's about but hey the lyrics and tone fit. I also need a break cause I've spent far too much of my day hunched over my laptop fiddling with it. The beginning's ok and I like the clips I have toward the end except for the long explosion sequence. That needs to be trimmed and the iceberg and water in the face are definitely not staying. I think voodoochild puts me to shame in first vid efforts but we all start somewhere. Please critique as much or as little as you want. I'm very eager to learn.

Um... is 80% of it meant to be blank? It's kind of difficult to give much feedback for it when it's not a completed draft.
I'll preface this by saying that I'm totally unfamiliar with AMV conventions and I've barely watched much anime at all, so all of my reactions are coming from a live action vidding perspective. Grain of salt and all that.
The main thing that stood out to me is the long static shot at 0:20 of someone sitting huddled down. I think it being so long and still would tend to lose your audience's attention. The quick running motion afterwards would be dramatic, but there's no real change in the music to reflect the change in motion.
The explosion was cool though! I like explosions.

Back to working on this now that I have time. Yay for the semester being over! And yes, most of it was supposed to be blank as I wasn't sure how to fill in the rest yet. I'll work on that. I don't watch many animes so that's completely fine on not knowing AMV conventions. I don't either. Explosions are always awesome.
