Top 5 Top 5: 22nd-29th June

​

Hey guys! It's time for the first Top 5 in a really long while, huh? We didn't get that many entries this week, so make sure to submit your videos for a chance to win! Without videos, there's no Top 5, after all!

This Week's Judge(s): Stardust

1. almost everything;

almost everything;

Submitted by: FurySp4rk
Song: Almost Everything by Wakey Wakey
Details: This was excellent! The voiceovers are really well-integrated, and I especially loved them at the end when the music grew more intense. Your flash transitions were very nicely done -- not jarring, and well-timed. And I was especially impressed by the use of static text, which is so difficult to do, but it looked great! My only note would be to make sure and maintain consistency between cropped clips.

2. KH-vids MEP 2012 // KH Ultranumb
Submitted by: Accelerator
Song: Ultranumb by Blue Stahli
Details: Nice job matching the mood and beat! There was a real intensity in the video. I would simply caution the use of effects like the TV Simulator, as they can be easily overdone. As a side note, we did in fact complete the 2012 MEP!

3. in the shadow of your heart;
Submitted by: muff monkey
Song: Cosmic Love by Florence + The Machine
Details: The overall smoothness of this video was wonderful. You did an excellent job working with the lyrics and atmosphere, and I especially liked the ending. My only major concern is the quality, as it seems quite fuzzy. Perhaps experiment with other formats/methods of compression?

4. AkuRoki/Anti-RokuShi ~ Misery Business (FLASH WARNING)
Submitted by: Ankoku
Song: Misery Business by Paramore
Details: Nice job on this! I can tell a lot of care was put into going with the song. I would advise against the use of hard flashes in such quick succession, especially when there is no cutting to go with them, however it was really fun to see the creative ways you utilized to match the lyrics!

5. Final Fantasy VII- Unknown Soldier
Submitted by: ~Phoenix~
Song: Unknown Soldier by Breaking Benjamin
Details: Great use of atmosphere in this one -- it fit the song really well! In terms of critique, I thought the red effect/overlay was a bit heavy, and I would suggest editing it more closely to the lyrics and major beats at times. Cropping it to remove the subtitles may also be worth considering as an extra finishing touch, or for the future. I enjoyed it!

Congratulations to all who placed this week! You will be receiving a Top 5 pin if you haven't got one already!
Haven't placed yet? Don't give up! Your video certainly was not bad, and you may place in a future week.

 

Some really nice ones in here! I really like muff monkey's but I'm also partial to the song, heh. FurySp4rk, you did a great job with the voice overs, I don't often like AMVs that incorporate the audio from the clips but it was pulled of nicely here.

Looking forward to next week's videos. :)
