Top 5 Top 5: 6th - 12th July 2010

​

Another Top 5? Fine. I’ll give you another one. Here's something hot and spicy (minus the hot and spicy).
Remember, if your not on the Top 5 it doesn’t mean your video wasn’t good, it just means you’ve got to keep making them, improve your skills and eventually you’ll make it. I’d also like to see an increase in the uploaders, every week I have 3 pages of videos to go through and I’d like to at least make that 5 pages next week. So for those lazy people or those who don’t think they’ve got what it takes, upload anyway, you might be surprised at how good you really are or how quickly you can make a quality AMV.

1. You Breath Into Me....

Song: Awake and Alive - Skillet
Details: A good song and well kept in time with it. The effects and editing worked in great harmony with the music, but the sort of spinning (or bouncing from side to side giving the impression of spinning) near the beginning and end was a little over board, it worked but it still felt a bit strange. Also, the sudden ending was a bit off putting but it’s still a nice little video.

2. Leave out all the rest {Reasons to be missed}

Song: Leave out all the rest - Linkin Park
Details: A nicely edited and strangely tinted video with some image/pattern overlays. It’s pretty good and keeps flow while using numerous effects, cut outs and transitions. The text could do with a bit of work though, sometimes it just pops up before you realise it or lingers for too long.

3. Roxas Is By Himself

Song: By Myself - Linkin Park
Details: Well, it’s certainly longer than the beta you had up before but it ends kinda sudden. That seems to be a running theme with entries from a handful of people lately xD Either way, it’s nicely edited but it kinda lacks that feeling in a way. A good video though.

Song: The Kill - 30 Seconds to Mars
Details: Very short, but nicely edited. The sound quality for voice clips isn’t all that good but the editing and use of quick effects and transitions was good. Maybe try experimenting with different formats if your sound doesn’t sound so damaged in the program(s) you use to make videos.

5. Isn't Someone Missing Me?

Song: (you’ll have to fill me in on this one)
Details: It’s got some good flow and the choices of scenes works well for the music but the flash is overused but works with the music (that whole snare drum thing). The voice over parts near the end are nicely lined up with the rhythm but there’s that one part where the BGM from the scene can be heard clearly and kinda threw me off. Overall it’s good but flashy (I made a funny).

Question

So I haven't submitted anything in the user portal for a good time now. Is the rule still that your vid can be Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, or Disney related? Or will only Kingdom Hearts vids be accepted in the top five?

 

I believe the rule still stands.

 

Yays I made it! I ish honored :)
The song is Missing(Demo) by Evanescence
Good job everyone!

 

I made first place *w*
i don't know how with all the other videos being so much better but thank you!!!!

 

why cant i upload any videos?
when i go to the upload page it says that the site has reached its upload limit :(

and just curious as to how/why the video i uploaded last year got disabled?

 

Wow I got #2 again? =DD
Thank you so much :)! This really motivates me to try harder and keep making them :3.
-squeee-

 

I'm not sure about that. I'm not knowledgeable on this video portal or how things are uploaded. I'll have a look at how stuff is uploaded and the limits sometime this week and get back to you on it.

If yours was the youtube video I saw that was disabled then that has nothing to do with us.

 

OMG! I'm getting better every week! Thanks Fayt for choosing my vids to be worthy. Anyway the audio sounds fine in Vegas so i don't know if something gets messed up in the rendering process maybe? Anyway thanks again for bringing the top 5 back!

 

Our old portal host was Vidiac, which taken over by Magnify.net. We lost our entire channel and videos since the policies were completely changed. The old Vidiac was 100% free and basically unlimited, but now Magnify really limited the benefits for free users, such as ourselves. I apologize for the limits on it, we plan on finding a better host for the Top 5 and the portal in the near future.
