    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!

    Well I've finished work now so I should be able to do 2 a week now so within a few weeks I should be catched up, thank everyone for their patience, same goes for the people who took part in the MEP.

    This Week's Winner: JazzVideos | View Video
    Song: Monsters by Meg and Dia

    The intro is way too long, you can easily cut it down to 10 seconds, I personally think 10-15 seconds is a good length for an intro if you wish to use one, but when the video started I loved it, the use of voice overs really fitted the song, and the song really fitted the theme of Soldier. All I can say is touch up on the masking. Congrats.

    Song: Gravity by Sara Barielles

    Another long intro, but not quite as long as the number 1 video. The main video itself is simple by design but it really fits the song, you don't want to overload on the effects in a slow song. And again a little touching up on the masking is all I can say.

    Song: All I Need by One Republic

    Another good video from you, the transistion between the intro and the song was a bit iffy, but that is just a minor fault, it was a well made video, just not the best from you.

    Song: Innocence Avril Lavigne

    Wasn't a fan of the effect at the beginning, but I really enjoyed the video as a whole, masking needs a little touching up and some other effects didn't really fit in well like the while circle, and the fan art didn't really fit in. But it was well made.

    Song: Dark Blue by Jacks Mannequin

    I thought it was a song by Go:Audio at first which would of been a surprise. Get rid of the subtitles, it does ruin the video a bit and fix the aspect ratio, I know you can fix it with the software you use, so it does ruin flow a bit. But I enjoyed the video as a whole beyond that, just a shame that it ended rather suddenly.

    Now for the special mentions.

    Song: Time To Dance Panic! At The Disco

    It is an odd pairing and a bit of a mismatch, you I can tell a lot of thought went into the weird plot, so I applaud you for making more effort than most in that department, shame most people will just skim over it. The masking was great, I have no faults from a editting standpoint. But because of the Death Note it will be a special mention which is a shame.

    Song: N/A

    Dead Fantasy is awesome and what you made is very good, my only flaw are the arrows, it would of looked better if you stuck to one which moved when selecting it instead of having 2. Original and very nice.

    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:

    The song for the Dead Fantasy video is Nara by E.S. Posthumus. Great picks this week. The first song is interesting, but it's amazing how fast it grows on you.

    Jazzvideos, I really liked the song choice for your video. Out of curiosity, what was the song used in your intro? It was super catchy.

    xD Haha. I giggled, I did.

    x__x;; I thought that vid was going to kill me. Honestly. Three months of work on and off, and my progress only ever inched forward. ...xDD;; Except at the ending, which I actually pretty much rushed just to get it over with.
