    Finally managed to upload another video to youtube, and I like this one, maybe just because I got out of that stupid habit of just using the Intros, endings, and Secret Endings.
    CnC please.

    I love this video, it captured my interest right from the start and held it all the way to the end, something very few gmv's ever do o.o the way you co-ordinated everything with the music was amazing!

    I really like this! Very nice use of music, not too fast, but also fun enough to play around with video editing on key notes. You did a marvelous job thereof. I would like to see more actually.

    What song is this sung by and or from sir? I cannot place my finger on it...

    It's "I Need A Hero" sung by Jennifer Saunders. The version they play in Shrek 2

    Great improvements.
    I've always been fond of this song and some of it's covers. (The cover by Emerald Sun is one of my favorites)

    Wow... That was great. The most compelling moments were at the very end.


    Amazing! Two thumbs up.

    HD is not a good thing for the most part. The game was only designed for 480p, and due to letter boxing during cut scenes that is actually 400p of "stuff" If you make that full 1080p then you're just making up 680 lines of pixels, so just looking at the vertical dimension having these videos in HD has more of it made up than was actually there to begin with, and that is just compounded on the horizontal side.

    So tech rant aside, keep things at or near the size given.


    As for the video, I'll admit that the begging seemed a bit forced to me. It looks like you were using WMM so there isn't much I can recommend to try and soften it up to match the tone. Perhaps making the clip fading a bit longer? Once the song picked up though I liked it a lot more, matched tone and lyrics wonderfully. My only CnC is the flashy transitions in WMM don't look all that good and I would just avoid them unless you really think you can make them do something cool. That being said you did use them sparingly and you used them a lot better than most. I might not even care here if the countless times I've seen them used badly didn't leave me with a bad taste.

    I stopped using WMM a while ago. Now I'm using VideoPad

    My bad, though VideoPad is still lightweight enough most comments carry over. Definitely recommend it for being far more stable though (and mildly more advanced).

    I use AVISynth and VirtualDub. Also freeware. So yeah, I get it. I love em though, even if it is a royal pain to use.
