Alright, the first one you made, it was very much random. It was as if I was watching X-2 randomly with some music attached to it, no feeling no editing, not special at all.
Also, the music gets up beat and fast and you some love scene, doesn't match at all. So it wasn't anything good.
The second vid you made (the first link) was much better, though it was still a bit random. Everytime the chorus started you showed me screens from the same scene again.
"I wanna lie like this forever" or whatever the line was and you see Yuna lying alone, I doubt she wanted that. If you want to make a song going along with the lyrics, make sure you have the correct images, cause people can misunderstand stuff.
It is better, but the editing was poor and off, not on beat at all and very random, so your timing should be better, cause believe me, it is pretty much about timing.
If am too critical, then sorry but you asked for feedback, not saying how good this is. Also, youtube is not some place to show how good you are, cause most people like everything anyway over there.

Well, pes already said everything that it had to been said, youtube they like everything they put there and if someone says otherwise, they start to bash him/her.
The second is better then then the first, but they're very poor in quality and timing

Ouch harsh, but No editing? Are you kididng? loook at the Lyrics in Sync with Yunas mouth? I had to cut and edit A LOT to get that perfect. Don't tell me that timing isen't good. Maybe you weren't looking for it? That was ALL about the timing of the lyrics and Yunas mouth moving to make it seem as if SHES singing the song... Yea i did reuse some parts..

You reused scenes, that's what people can't do in a AMV, it just feels a bit too off. And it isn't harsh, you asked for feedback and we're giving it to you, and no, the timing wasn't good. I could see the lips moving or stoping and the stop playing or music going on in that order. I advise you to don't try to use that, it always turns out wrong.
Practise makes perfect.

Not saying it is bad, just you're timing should be better. I have seen far more worst videos then yours and the second one is good though, it is just your timing is off, as in doesn't synchronise with the beat at certain points, or as Fanta said the mouth wasn't getting along with the music.
You tried to do something rather difficult, I advise to learn some more of the basics first, like cutting out certain parts and placing something else in between and timing and such, but keep on going.

well they told you everything that you did wrong, so allow me to tell you what I actually liked about these...
the first video...the idea was wonderful! For once it's not a music video that just plays a song and scenes from the game, by actually making it seem like she's singing the song...I loved that! it's very original as far as I can tell. If only you could make her actually look like she was singing...but after seeing that you weren't able to get that correctly, I focused on the other things in the video and it wasn't too bad...perhaps find other scenes to use though?
the second one...I loved it! The scenes matched the lyrics perfectly...the only real problem I saw with that one is that it's too short
great job on both of these though! I look foward to see your future vidoes.

It matched the lyrics, but not the music. For example, the music had the beat, it was fast and such, but you saw Yuna and Tidus holding each other standing still, that is bad timing and wrong footage, he should've picked something else instead. Something that would match the music aswell as the lyrics and that can be very tough.

umm...it was pretty random...the feeling of the song is more important than the lyrics...and when yuna was "singing" in the first link, it looked very strange. it looked like it was supposed to be funny. alright, overall, good for your first 2.
heres my first movie ever, not related to FF so i didnt want to make a new thread.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8...q=the+heil+songnote: if anyone is offended by this, i truly did not mean it. it is PURELY for comedic purposes and should not be taken seriously.
note2: every picture/video there was taken off of google...except the few i photoshopped...there is so much crap on the internet!

Okay..........well i am going to comment on the video and not audio................because my speakers are cheap and messing up....hehe. Anyways i liked the meaning behind both videos, but what i didn't get was that sometimes you show a scene 2 to 3 times....some repetion there, but it was good. didn't you say these were your first videos? well not bad for a beginner, i wouldn't know anything about that stuff though. Anyways i look forward to seeing any future videos that you make. Oh yeah and liked that site alot sooooooo i joined! haha
