I think I've improved on my video making skills. Here's my two newest videos based on an RPG I'm doing with a friend. There is the short opening first, then the long one.
Opening 1
Full Credits
I think I did a great job. The audio and video seems perfect.

I only had time to look at the first one but here is a quick run down of things you need to work on. One-Pictures video's are not slide shows, those random still pictures (especially) the crudely drawn fan ones DO NOT BELONG in a AMV Two-Quality of the clips you were using was ASSSSSSSS I'm not joking that was bad. Next time try finding cleaner and more crisp better quality clips Three- The timing seemed alright, but you could have used better clips they didn't really match up with the music beat and tempo really. With that being said I also didn't understand the lyrics since they are in another language so they might actually match u.. either way! you didn't use enough actual clips to really judge it. There can be alot of trial of error in AMV's I used to make them along time ago, I wasn't that great but yea. Just take those points under consideration for next time, try to go with something that matches the music, no more pictures, and better quality. If this comes off as harsh, well that's what happens criticism helps you get better, I know what its like to finish something and think its perfect. However later when your skill evolves you would go back to your older work and face palm. That is what happened with pretty much all of my AMV's Another good thing to watch out for is, long winded clips. They are usually bad unless the focal point of an amv, and they can really ruin things. That video is a good example of long winded clips that screw up the pace of the AMV, near the middle-end the girl with her dying father really, i mean really screws up the pace of the music and video (seriously what WAS I thinking?) Thats not the only case, but it was the worst one for long winded...ness. That's something you should always try to avoid long winded clips.

Going on what Phoe was saying, they're only half AMV's. They have video clips sure, but the pictures added in there made it a bit stange, as the animation just stops at some point and leads you into a picture too. If you have to do that, do it Strategically. Slip it into the back, if you have a program to do so, because I admit to doing the same thing with pictures, like so:
Besides the crappy artwork, it was slipped into the back of clips. Now the pictures I put in the middle made it no longer an AMV, but half slide show.
A full AMV is more like this, where the picture at the end doesn't matter because it's irrelevant to the video and at the end:
It's very easy to mess up the flow of time on AMV's(Believe me I do it all the time) and other stuff, but once you get that done and reduce the pictures (And maybe find a better Video source) You'll be fine.

What are you people talking about this video's great. A lot of people told me so. Those people were being very soft on you. I won't. Your vids are a openings with a bunch of poor quality pictures with red eyes made in Paint, and the overall quality is mediocre at best. I could do such a vid in 15 mins using Windows Movie Maker, but I won't, and certainly won't put it on youtube to disgrace myself. It has enough bad vids there already.

Seriously Hun, I'm sorry, but you need a reality check. You need to start listening to peoples criticism with taking it with negativity. It makes you look like a baby. Honestly. =/

Wowwwww girl, you really need to learn to accept things with grace. I hate when people nitpick my drawings, but even if they sound mean, I know they honestly want to help me improve. So you don't have to insult people who want to help by saying that they have 'stupidly weak eyes'. Phoe and kat are nicer than about 75% of the Internet and there are plenty of people who would rip your videos and self-esteem to shreds and eat the remains.
So either put on your big girl panties and deal or just keep things to yourself. If you don't want people trying to help you, don't post it where we can see it and comment on it.

I probably shouldn't put my nose where it doesn't belong, but I checked out your videos. I hate to say it, girl, but they're not all that great. :/ Not trying to be mean or anything, but Dani is right.
I'm gonna try and be nice on this one. Your videos are okay, but they need a LOT of work. The people here are just trying to help you. I don't think it's very fair for you to talk back to them when really, they're trying to see you improve. You could at least try to take the critique a little less violently. I apologize but seriously, don't insult my friends. Please and thank you.
