    Every week, I scour the video portal's latest submissions and pick my top five favorites. Just because you don't make it into the top five does not mean that you're video wasn't good. We just have so many good videos that they're hard to choose from!

    Quite disappointing this week. Only picked about 7 videos for my list, about half of what I normally have at that time, it's probably my higher standards after Fayt's video last week. XD Here is this week's Top 5.

    This Week's Winner: KatastrophicKaylee | View Video
    Song: We Are Broken Paramore

    Was a bit eh with the we beginning, but you easily made up for it. Original but a bit weird to use Dead Fantasy, only gripe I have with that is that it didn't really fit in with the FMV scenes, but it did work and made it look like something different. Only other thing I can say is that some parts seemed overtimed, like when Tidus and Yuna hugged. Well done.

    Song: Never too Late by Three Days Grace

    Eh...the intro was way to long. Yes I'm being a heartless b****** but there is the describtion box for such things, even if it did have good intensions. When the video finally did kick off, a very good collab with good flow, was a bit 50/50 with the text. But overall it was very nice.

    Song: The Matrix Trailer

    Watermark is way to big, we watch AMV's for the video not a small bit of text, make it much smaller and transparent. But the video itself was good, nothing special but things worked well, bit more flow is the main criticism. That's about it, good job.

    Song: Unforgiven by Sweetbox

    Didn't like the look of the effect at the beginning, didn't really look nice. I also didn't like the random use of effects, don't use effects for the sake of using them. But timing was good. Also get rid of subtitles it does ruin it slightly. But I did really enjoy the video even with those problems.

    Song: Diary of Jane by Breaking Benjamin

    Flow, flow, flow. This video lacked it, don't stick to all straight cuts, it works in some situations but even a small crossfade so much better, the about to break part with Roxas and the rip in the drawing did make me laugh a bit, was a bit cheesy. XD The voice overs were a bit iffy, it's best to fit those into parts with no vocals. It wasn't a bad video at all, even with all that criticism, it had potenial, it was just a few flaws, like the part at the end, and a story was there.

    Now for the special mentions.

    Song: N/A

    Yes it's not a video, but it's a very good making of, and the final result was brilliant. And I liked the first song you used, very nice. The drawing deserved this special mention.

    Hope you enjoy them all, and keep submitting! Maybe your video will show up here next time! For more information of this weeks Top 5, including the videos that just missed out aswell as your questions answered, go to:

    Yay! First this week even though I'm nowhere near as great as Fayt. She has inspired me to explore the wonders of my Photoshop xD

    Thanks for the criticism, I'll think of it while timing things and meshing scenes :)

    Opps I forgot to take it out from the template. XD

    I used that week as the template and forgot to remove it. XD

    Maybe my comment was a bit harsh, considering what the meaning was and why it was there.

And right now I watched all the video's for the top 5 , Great job on getting 1st place. I really liked your video and it was beautiful. ^ ^ I hope to see your future work also.

    Oh no no, I didn't make the intro for the MEP. That was Kairih92's work. The only thing I did was participate in the MEP and make the outro for the second one.

    Thank you! -dies of happiness- :P
