Yep, it's that time again! There were a lot of submissions this week. For those of you who submitted your videos on July 13th after I posted that week's Top 5, no worries, I made sure to watch those too. =] 1. Avoiding the Poison Submitted by: Knightshade Song: Avoiding the Poison by We Are Giant Details: I felt the overlay was just a tad heavy this time, but the flow here is awesome and you were really creative in using the chroma key and particle effects. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=446 2. [ P a g e s ] Submitted by: glamergal234 Song: Pages by There For Tomorrow Details: You did a good job with making the audio clips not sound out of place; the end was especially cool in that regard. The video matches the pace and feel of the song. I also really loved the thing you did with the calendar; that was really creative =]. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=438 3. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Trailer Submitted by: mpc1301 Audio: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 Trailer Details: This was very well done! I liked how it focused not just on lip sync -- the clip choices also seemed very meticulous. The transitions between the original trailer material and the Kingdom Hearts clips were very smooth and made it a really nice final product. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=447 4. Black Cat Submitted by: minicoop55 Song: Black Cat by Mayday Parade Details: It looks like you increased the contrast here a lot which gives a nice effect to the video, though at times it made things hard to see. The TV Simulator effects in the beginning may also benefit from some fades to smooth them out a little, but I noticed that the flow improved as the video went forward =] overall it was really entertaining and you did a great job matching the lyrics. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=427 5. Kingdom Hearts Take My Hand GMV/AMV Submitted by: TheDrawerProductions Song: Take My Hand by Simple Plan Details: Goodness, there was a lot going on here! You sacrificed some flow in the video because of it, and at times it seemed pretty chaotic. In terms of hitting the beats, though, you were spot-on; your sync with the lyrics was also solid and you did a particularly good job with the chorus. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=423 Congratulations to all who placed, and as promised, you will be getting a Top 5 Pin if you haven't already got one! Haven't placed yet? Don't give up! Your video certainly was not bad, and you may place in a future week =].

Hey everyone, now that I'm back home with regular computer access, we're back with the top 5! My sincerest apologies to everyone who has been waiting for me to post this, I went out of town and was unable to judge. Also be sure to check out the other two weeks I am posting!: 23rd - 29th June | 30th June - 6th July 1. With Me } Submitted by: Sacredlith Song: With Me by Sum 41 Details: This was my favorite of the batch of videos you submitted this week =] the colors are gorgeous and your timing and effects are impeccable. I also really loved how you did the text here; if not done right text can turn out awkward but it looks totally natural and adds to the feel of the video in this. Very nicely done! Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=401 2. If right is [l e a v i n g] ; Submitted by: MyPaopuFruit Song: She Is The Sunlight by Trading Yesterday Details: You executed this video really well -- it takes a lot of innovation to make these pairings work well; the result is an impressive crossover and a solid AMV. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=392 3. Atlantis The Lost Empire Short AMV Submitted by: babbitrules Song: The Matrix Revolutions Menu Theme Details: This is really interesting, we don't get Disney videos often =] anyway, I really liked this, the clips flowed in a way that made it have kind of a trailer-y feel to it. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=408 4. Kingdom Hearts First Class (X-Men First Class Trailer Parody) Submitted by: Kalnet Audio: X-Men First Class Trailer Details: I really loved the way this was handled; sort of adapting the trailer to the Kingdom Hearts universe instead of the other way around (...I hope that makes sense). It was a really creative way of constructing it and it turned out great. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=395 5. Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts Couples - You'll Be Mine Submitted by: MovingOnMjrn Song: You'll Be Mine by The Pierces Details: It looks like you applied a slight glow to some of this which looked nice; it made the clips and overall video much smoother & helped all of the different sources you used mesh =].

Kingdom Hearts Closer To The Edge Submitted by: lillovedoctor Song: Closer to the Edge by 30 Seconds to Mars Details: You struck a good balance between matching lyrics and hitting beats here, and the result is a lot of fun to watch. I wish the cutoff at the end wasn't so sudden, though! =] Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=373 4. Just to Get High Submitted by: Droid4Productions Song: Just to Get High by Nickelback Details: I thought you did a really good job with arranging the clips here; things picked up when the song picked up and slowed down when the song did. A solid video. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=380 5. RoxasNamine HateLove Submitted by: roxas2142 Song: I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace Details: The cropping was a tad awkward sometimes, but you took a really creative approach to this song and conveyed the feel really well with the video.

Guys like you make us look bad /Beta/ (Seizure warning) Submitted by: Knightshade Song: Guys Like You Make Us Look Bad by Blessthefall Details: There's a lot going on here and the result is really cool; the chroma keyer isn't entirely smooth but your timing is perfect and you match the music well. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=364 3. Roxas and Namine ~ Vanilla Twilight Submitted by: Anzu_100 Song: Vanilla Twilight by Owl City Details: Most of the cuts are surprisingly fast, but I love the half black-and-white effect and the on-screen lyrics are a nice touch. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=360 4. Bruised and Scarred Submitted by: ajk515 Song: Bruised and Scarred by Mayday Parade Details: You didn't hit a lot of beats, but you matched the ambience of the song quite well; the purple tint I think helps accomplish this. Good job. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=363 5. My newest vid :D Submitted by: fielleon Song: Never Too Late by Three Days Grace Details: The flashes were well-timed and I thought you did a nice job with most of the lip sync, which can be pretty difficult.

[ It was basically like this: The government decided it needed to make sure everyone's typing accuracy was at the level of 80% or higher. It created this computer program that all citizens would have to use until they reached that level of accuracy. REGARDLESS OF AGE. And I don't know what they'd do about people who didn't have computers. It had a name, but I don't remember it. The program worked in phases. The government would release the phases on different dates, and they got progressively more difficult. When the program was announced, they had a group of people on a stage to demonstrate it... and I was one of them. Also, I remember that they said the second phase would be released on my birthday v: So the announcer talked for a while and then we started the demonstration. And it was HARD. Insanely difficult. It was like those typing tests you can find online, but covered a lot of different topics and you had to type each word within a certain amount of time. If you couldn't keep up, which seemed to be impossible, it just moved forward without you. I remember the announcer going around to check on us as we worked, and I was so far behind I had practically just given up and she got mad at me. I type at 90 wpm >: . I don't remember why I woke up but I think something bad happened to me since I had gotten so far behind. tl;dr it was 1984 meets typing class or something. ]
Looking pretty DBE'd in here today [video=youtube;9q3JJ7Fhvbs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q3JJ7Fhvbs[/video]
A good friend of mine has recently been separated from someone they are in a relationship with. Understandably, they're having some trouble adjusting to life without this person and I'm at a bit of a loss with what to do -- I have only dealt with this sort of thing when I moved, and I still get to see my old friends regularly. I was wondering if anyone who has experienced this sort of thing has any suggestions for coping that I can relay back? The separation isn't permanent but it is for an extended period of time.
Yep, soo I'm leaving later today to go on vacation out-of-state for about a week (I know, "Wow, thanks for the advance notice," but I actually wasn't sure what day it was and if it was actually going to happen until today!). As such, the events I'm looking after (MEP, Top 5, Question Time in Wolfie's absence) may be slowed down a bit, but I'll do my best to keep everything on schedule as I should have internet where I'm going. I will be much less active until I get back, though. Hope you guys don't miss me too much </ego> 8'D And... hopefully the site does not blow up? See you all later =]~ EDIT: Due to a scheduling issue I am now leaving tomorrow, lololol. So you'll have to put up with me for one more day 8'D The rest still applies though. Cheers~
Feel free to shoot either of the coordinators a PM if you need help: Send a message to turntechGodhead |Send a message to Stardust Please Note: We have now moved on to the second phase of the MEP, located in the Recording & Video Production Studio. You can view the new thread here. Information: Written by project coordinator turntechGodhead, aka Guardian_Soul What is an MEP? MEP stands for Multi Editor Project. Multiple editors working together on one project. Despite most MEPs usually using one song, one band, or one theme, this project will be more like a worm. Everybody makes a small video and in the end, we'll combine them together to form a whole video to showcase our editors. - Video Sources - Since this is a Kingdom Hearts community, the allowed video sources will be Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy and Disney. Other sources unfortunately won't be allowed. - Song Selection - Anything you want it to be but keep it PG-13. - Editing - The editing style all depends on the track. If the track is fast-paced, the editing should reflect that, and likewise with a slow song. Use whatever style suits you best, though. Having different styles in this MEP is what I'm shooting for, as having all the tracks look the same isn't fun or appealing at all. This is a collection of our styles all in one project and I want it to look that way. - Rules - - One of our lovely purple monsters, Stardust, will be the co-coordinator of this project. Her word shall be law! Listen or fear the banhammer*shot* - If you join the MEP, I expect you to be active or I will hunt you down. You are to keep everyone involved in the MEP up to date with your progress. Be it a little or a lot. I would like to know where everyone stands on their tracks. So try to keep us updated. - There is no limit on participants and no restriction on who can participate based on post count or join date, so everyone is free to join up! - At the moment, the time limit hasn't been decided on yet. It'll be determined by how many editors will be participating in the project. - No bumpers, watermarks, or anything of the such. They're very distracting and people will be able to find out who made what part just by looking at the description. === If you are interested in joining, please post below so we can gauge interest and determine the time limit for parts =].

Heyy guys, the first week back from hiatus has ended and I'm pleased to announce the results of the Top 5! =] There were a lot of great videos this week; it was a difficult choice. That being said, if you don't make it in, don't give up! You might make it in a future week. Also, it's pretty late in the day here (10:00 PM) so apologies if the results are late according to your timezone. 1. Diamonds, Diamonds Are You All In The Sky... Submitted by: Knightshade Song: Viola Lion by Isles and Glaciers Details: This is beautiful! The flow is wonderful, the overlay and text complements it but isn't intrusive, the flashes and cuts are soft and work wonders with the song. Well done. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=344 2. You Said That You Would Die For Me... Submitted by: 3LadyInRed3 Song: Cat and Mouse by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Details: The flow is really nice here, and the recoloring of Kairi's hair to further the story was not only creative but also looked good. A well-constructed, emotional video. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=336 3. RokuShi Day - She Said Submitted by: MovingOnMjrn Song: She Said by Stephen Jerzak ft. Leighton Meester Details: The effects and overlays all give this a very dance-y feel; it makes the video a lot of fun to watch. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=354 4. Fight Fight Submitted by: minicoop55 Song: Fight, Fight by Go Radio Details: There was a lot going on here, so I could tell a lot of work went into it. Not much focus on flow, but a solid action video which paid close attention to every beat, on the beat. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=347 5. ~Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts - Generator ^ Second Floor~ Submitted by: Lulus_Moogle Song: Generator^Second Floor by Freelance Whales Details: The flow here improves as the video progresses, and the sepia-tone of the video coupled with the grunge border really helped capture the fleeting effect of the song. I loved how you matched the lyrics with the characters' smiles. Link: http://www.kh-vids.net/media.php?do=details&mid=326 Congratulations to all who placed, and as promised, you will be getting a Top 5 Pin if you haven't already got one!
