this show is about a criminal that decides one day to go to temporarily surrender himself to the FBI. but he makes himself valuable to the government by having a list of upper level criminals he calls 'the blacklist.' he is assigned to Elizabeth, but as she works with him she gets pulled deeper into his world and that is what this AMV explores. The world in which he pulls everyone in, on both sides of the law.
when I saw the portion on the commercial it reminded me of a different show that was nearing its end at around the same time, animal kingdom's opening. so I got the idea to do a opening based on the opening from animal kingdom. overtime I began to focused on personal corruption as she realizes she got stuck into a hole she did not realize she got stuck in until the final reaction of the main character. (the person wearing the black hat) I hope I get the message across. I begin this video after watching the first episode of season 9. it should be noted that I only watched that season and a summary video (and I watch that video after editing a lot of the first two drafts, this is from the third) that main female character you see in red was gone off the show by that point so I never watched a complete episode with Elizabeth's present.
this is not the first choice for my second video of this contest. but I want to see if I can find the original file for that one before sending in a previously completed version from a while ago that I just never published. With that decided I chose this video about June 11 or June 12, so it had a quick turnaround, but since it was already pretty complete, it was not that big of a problem. though the biggest issue is I fell in love with two versions. I confuse version 3 and version 3 try 2 in the end I focused more on the other version though I did edit version 3 try 2 a lot as well. and now I have 2 versions on my drive and hoping I choose the right one. since they both have their own good things and bad things.(I did get one person to watch it but that person left before finishing the second video and decided to choose this one based on "an hunch". we are on good terms still but that person is not an editor themself)
I hope my opening credits are not too cheesy. I only realized afterwards that these look like opening credits from the 2000s, when people put their random animes together. I originally meant to just put the two guns but by the time I found the second gun the rest of the opening credits was created. I have a few still frames to make it easier to read not because an mistake. I want people to actually be able to read the credits after all. I use Movavi and a MacBook Air 2014. (probably the last time I will be editing on that computer (though because of the long legacy there still will be videos that have touched that computer, I will just be editing now on the other computer for the future) I just still have to transfer the rest of my stuff but I finally got around to getting my new computer up and running and it seems to be going great, same program though. hopefully you all enjoy the video. |

Единственное что мне понравилось-так это трек, хотя бы за него поставлю 3 и старания
first thank you for the 3. (honestly that will still put this video over the final goal to finally get over to finally have a single video over the dreaded (2 . something) for this specific website since even though I have a few over at news above that ,not really any here) I loved your video and I am happy to hear your comments. (edit-I try to smooth the load of this comment over but since I spent probably 3 hours before finding out that this person was not Markywa (Who complained on Interchanger and I thought he brought his attitude onto my video, even though that video was more about frame rates) some of that stayed because I only spent maybe 10 minutes after. (I get a few comments a year, so I take each one seriously) but I actually respect this person a lot more than this again I thought I was talking to this other person. there are a few names I know by memory but not these two. (mostly the people I see for two or three years repetitively or people from my first 3-4 years)
I am heavily truncated this. (glowing around the twist has a better explanation of this time in the comments, since I was talking about it 3 years later and the site does not let you change the notes) I got into a situation once in which I tried high-quality footage and it got to the point that my computer completely ran out of space. sadly I lost a lot of that in a wipe but I never wanna be in that position again so I try to avoid being wasteful like last time. when I check the difference between 360p and 480p, ok size difference. (The difference was enough in terms of the noticeable increase of quality) I tried for 480p to 720p, still worth the difference but when I saw the difference for 720p to 1080p. one opening is in the 10s, possibly to 20s if big (particularly these days) and the other was in the 40s. (I think mid 30s specifically for that video. I am remembering something from probably half a decade ago, I think this was for the video using the song 'shake it for me') adding the fact the difference visually between 720p and 1080p was pretty minimal but it was almost twice the size. I decided after that point to pretty much avoid the bloated size that is 1080p given I did not notice a difference.
AMV news mention stuff about 360p and 480p and I have carefully considered that existing rule and literally have lost sleep over it. a seemingly made up a rule that is not mentioned and I honestly never heard that before. I am actually I am at a shoestring budget, definitely with disk space (until really recently and this video as I mentioned in the notes was still made on the previous computer and the footage was obtained with the previous computer in mind) so even though I try to keep it to the standards mentioned in big con and here, those are the only standard (other than a few AMV or articles I have read over the years and a few contests I checked back in 2018 and 2019 but never got around to doing) and in the end it was always 720p or '480p if only available.' (edit-in terms of the budget thing. I am on a tight budget. this is technically not a 'listed profession' (even though I am proud of this) and unlike some of you (based on some of the listings for occupation) I do not do animation as a job, so I have consumer equipment instead of a rig.)
I got another computer after a long time which has more space so I might be able to do slightly better footage. but I need a little more information than this. I hope the best, and again thank you for giving me this information but I am fine with you talking about my video but please avoid start talking about my budget, it's just bad taste. even though I do you have some average frame rate videos. I do you a lot of times focus on giving videos with high frame rates, particularly so the transitions shine very smoothly), but that is usually where I focus. this was the second video keep in mind, if I found in remember this video sooner I probably would have done slightly more work on it (even though I was trying to avoid messing up something mostly complete) but I am very proud of the work I did and I am very happy that the majority of these comments are very positive.
(edit- I know this person talked about other stuff but the rest were standard stuff to keep in mind. I thought these was more about me in general rather than just the video. which is why I made a post about it since I actually had a decent explanation for it. it did get way too long. I guess I could cut the last paragraph but I felt like it connected the other two. also it's already three paragraphs so I'm not making another paragraph talking about the other things that, even if I go completely understand everyone's view about transitions, they were standard comments.) |

не понравилось, связи видео и музыки нет, титры вообще без комментариев
Здесь соглашусь, но музыка единственное за что тут можно зацепиться |

I've expected more psychedelic video from you.  But it looks more like an all in the day's work trailer. Maybe it's a bit rough and not polished enough, but it looks nice in general.
At 1:12-1:13 you've crookedly cut a segment - the show titles appear during ~0.3-0.5 sec. You should cut them off completely or show longer. It's OK if the show titles were shown I guess cause the MV looks like a trailer. But it should be longer in that case.
P.S.: You've put AMVNews URL on the preview. Why? It's a video for CreaSpace.
first I have to think the nice people here at creative space for fixing that error. but now let's explain what happened because that was a really weird fluke.no wonder they put my video last. I have been looking through the credits to see where I put that by mistake and I see it's on the poster. (I want to say I wrote part of this earlier but never got around to posting with my busy schedule, but I finally came across time to posted this)
I made a new credit document last contests. (before I copied the credits from the nearest amv I come across one scrolling on my computer, which was either some of them from the early 2020s or 2018) it was starting to become more and more ridiculous since I shoved a bunch of videos in one of the documents which made it difficult to remember the chronological order and because every single contest was not in one place. so I was still getting used to that. (I think I put the order of the websites opposite when I was making the document or forgot it altogether though it's added now)
also between the additions I had to do the screenshots at least 3 times so that also wore me out slightly and The website had a weird bug when I was removing the one at a time and posting the new version each at a time.(because of the sheer amount , that's what wore me out) all of the screenshots as I was trying to reput them in order so somehow 18 screenshots with what it seems appealing for times happened and I had to do a lot of fixing for that. which was more of a final blow than anything else.but I didn't enjoy making this poster. and maybe it was just I was absorbed into angling the word. so I must have copied and pasted the wrong website. in my excitement for choosing this for the poster. though the other two reasons probably factor into how I did not see it and escaped my mind.
sadly when I did the credits, I had the amv news logo and the monitors luckily pointed out that nothing was technically wrong but you put it in by mistake I was able to remove it the final day. I just added a lot of things really fast. again I am thankful for The people on the side correcting that mistake. |

I like this video.
Very dynamic and intriguingly. I didn't even notice that it was a regular trailer.
This video makes you look at the source data.
Open mouths sometimes they prevent the clip from developing dynamically. |
