Production: none Editor/s: just me - Picco Sensei^^ Anime Used: Sword Art Online (Sword Art Online II) Song/Artist: Audiomachine - Guardians At The Gate (Access Denied Dubstep Edit) Contest Participating/ed: none Warning - There are some heavy spoilers if you haven't finished the anime - pls don't kill me. Description: First of all: I wanted to finish something before my next project because I wanted to "try out" After Effects. So my scene selection was random right from the start. [I normally don't watch tutorials and try to figure everything out myself (like in PSor SV) Okay.. I couldn't really get what to do with AE at all and I just ended up doing a random AMV for no reason at all but I think it was totally worth it!^^] So I guess I didn't improve .. but I'd like to hear criticism about how I handled the music style overall and stuff.. I dunno.. just leave your honest opinion - Thank you :)

Great sync and scene selection. It was a fun watch indeed, but my complaint would be the cross-zoom transitions that you tried on lots of stages, I didn't really like the way they looked. Good stuff tho, keep going Picco!

A really big Thank you! I couldn't appreciate it any more because I need every little thing right now to push me to keep going with my earlier mentioned big project.
About the Cross-Zoom-Transitions: They were just a cheap way to create a transition where the scenes weren't really connected or where the movement was just a little awkward. I'm going to decrease this way in my upcoming projects ^^ About my scene selection (and sync): I'm glad you liked it despite it didn't have a storyline. In most parts I just used movements only fitting for the music or where the movement could have been the source of the audio, like in 0:56. Anyway, I'm glad you took your time :)
