Top 5 The Top 5: 7th-14th June

Hey everyone, we’ll be restarting the Top 5 as you may have gathered already starting with entries from this last week. I’ve watched all the videos uploaded, enjoyed your efforts and would like to see more videos uploaded this week and beyond.

Don’t feel discouraged if you don’t make it into the Top 5, it doesn’t mean your entry wasn’t good it just means you’ve got to keep trying and one week you might come out on top. I hope to see as many people involved and uploading videos as possible.

I might as well start the Top 5 off then.

1. ~Kingdom Hearts, Saix: Animal I have become

Song: Animal I have Become - Three Days Grace
Details: A good song, although, it is somewhat overused in amvs in general but you made it work to your own method using parts of separate clips back to back with each other and using boss battle clips, something I haven’t seen be used in an amv in a while so it’s quite refreshing. The main fault with it is the lip-synching, sometimes it’s spot on and sometimes you can’t tell if it’s actually connecting without squinting really hard. Good job none the less.

2. Kairi’s Last Night Away From Sora

Song: The Last Night - Skillet
Details: A nice amv with some good use of effects but the sound quality really lets it down. If it wasn’t for the sound this may have taken the number 1 spot this week. I do like the colourful bars though, I’ve only recently started doing something like that myself on Vegas. A last fault I noticed was that the three way split screen was not sized equally and the three videos looked squished and a second split screen part with Kairi and Sora in the cave is a little out of time with each other. Otherwise, a nice amv.

Song: Into the Ocean - Blue October
Details: A nice amv, well timed and that song is somewhat hypnotic and catchy even though the lead singers voice is both alluring and annoying in a perfect blend which works really well with the chosen scenes.

Song: Los Angeles - Sugarcult
Details: The choice of scenes give me the feeling you’re a believer in RoXel, but either way it’s a pretty well done amv for WMM. The cutting to different scenes with the timing of the lyrics give a miniature story of it’s own in a way and actually work well in a homosexual feel, not sure if that’s what was expected but I got that feeling from it. Regardless it was well edited and timed.

5. ~China Roses~

Song: China Roses - Enya(?)
Details: It is a beautiful song and the scenes fit nicely with it but it lacks some minor effects which could improve it and there are parts lacking a fade which just seems to harshly cut to the next scene. Other than this it is nicely done in terms of timing and flow.

I’d also like to point out that non-KH fan made entertainment videos are not allowed as far as I know. I say this due to a few uploads that don’t have KH scenes or weren’t for entertainment.

Anywho, this was a good week to kick off with some well timed videos. Hopefully, more of you will get involved next week.

 

Holy crud I would of never thought my movie China Roses would be used o_o
8D Awesome

Also by the way I know what that song is on Into the Ocean video.

It's Into the Ocean by Blue October

 

Great to see the Top 5 back. I have something to motivate me to make an AMV again. I wanted to know since I haven't uploaded something in forever but are we allowed to upload videos that don't use KH into the video portal or is it strictly KH?

 

I'm not too sure, but I'm pretty sure it's strictly KH and FF videos only. Or at least it's always been that way for the videos able to be in the Top 5.

 

The 2nd song is The Last Night by Skillet.

 

The song on the 4th video is called "Los Angeles" by Sugarcult.

 

This applies to me too. I'm working on a vid and I hope it'll make the top five eventually. Never got to do it before sicne I started posting decent vids when Repliku started to slack off.

 

Yay! I'm so glad it's back! This was one of the only things pulling me back to this site! Guess its time to start making more amvs. :)
