Please check it out at hxxp://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=95820 (change the x's to t's in the url). I'd like a rating of it, but please do not give me useless criticism. Also, take a little time to check out my journal to see the progress of my second project.

wow, that was pretty damn good for your first vid man. I enjoyed it more that the average naruto/sasuke videos out there. Nicely done my man.

[HebrewTaija]

thanks man. would you mind rating it in the following categories: timing, use of effects, content, and appeal with a 5 or 10 point scale? it would really help me develop my abilities to see where my strengths and weaknesses are.

Well one thing I gotta say:
The mood of the song fitted pretty damn well with the actual video!
I also likes the effects, because they also fitted with the mood and weren't overdone.

Keep it up :thumbs

yeah i thought it was great, i dont wanna advertise my own stuff, but i was wondering if anyone could take a look at my first video, in my thread, and like him please rate, good or bad, thanks.

again that was a really good video probably better than my first one.

Damn! i'd bet my life that it wasn't ur first try :P loved it =)

my question is how long did it take as far as days or weeks not overall hours.

[HebrewTaija]

overall, it was about a month in-progress, but I only actually worked on it for like 2 weeks. it was something like this:
1 day: planning
2 days: obtaining audio and video footage for editing
7 days: editing and piecing together the first workprint
17 days: summer vacation
3 days: going over and fixing timing, replacing footage, adding in touches here and there, putting it into final authored format

[HebrewTaija]

of course, technically if you want to count in the whole time, you might add in about 2 months for the original concept (I was watching the series one day, and as soon as I saw the Sasuke-Naruto fight, I immediately thought: this will be turned into an AMV, and I will damn well do it myself), possibly 2 more months for motivation (I decided I would make an AMV as soon as I saw some works over at a convention), and maybe a whole extra 3 years, because that's when I first heard the song while watching an impressive DragonBall Z AMV done from one of the TV specials (it was about Goku and Bardock, if you care to know). So, for the most part, a little more than 2 weeks, kind of a rush job

[Woozie]

That's actually a lot more than many people spend making their first video. Myself included, although I haven't yet done anything anime related. You got some patience :)
