Halloween MEP - Face Everything and Rise

Hey Guys !! Very nice stuff we have here !
All the parts are great but I honestly think that at one point (starting from part8) you lost the Halloween Vibe that you installed earlier, nevertheless it stays an awesome MEP !!

Good Job !!

Yea, I understand that xD
We decided late and most of the parts were rushed with mistakes .
We'll be more careful from now on

*sigh* The usual beginner formula :

- animes don't go very well along each others for the most part
- synchronization problems
- MANY continuity error because you didn't pay attention to the movements/characters' position between the assembled shots
- ghost frames
- some shots' speed was accelerated to the point that it does not seem natural anymore
- too much shakes AND blur (so much blur that I couldn't read your outro clearly)
- some poorly made transition (like the roll at 33s or the push at 37s for instance)

Liar... It's supposed to be a Halloween MEP and you edit Fairy Tail ? WTF !?! Do better next time, beginning with your anime selection ! >.>

Yop

I didn't like the mep as a whole, the theme is very confusing if there ever was one and most part don't fit with each other. So I'll just make the usual small feedback on each one because some looked cool, but the mep as a whole is bad.

Track 1: Very weird mask at the beginning, some effects look interesting in the second part of the track but overall needed to be cleaner.

Track 2: Fun to watch but really messy, some transitions are really rough and needed more smoothness. Oh and RGB split is kinda too conspicuous Still a fun cam management

Track 3: Messy with many ugly push transitions that make no sense whatsoever. At least try matching the colors between your scenes.

Track 4: It had potential but the cam moves are bouncing too much and most of all, there's a black fades overload that just kill the part. The scene selection was rather generic too

Track 5: Nice part! Nothing much to say. Maybe some scenes were going a bit too smoothly for the song here and there

Track 6: This part is ok but very generic, no risk taken. And I didn't like this font that came out of nowhere and didn't fit the mood in the slightest. But ok editing

Track 7: Best part I think. Nice personalization and good atmosphere, good job.

Track 8: You kinda killed the former part with your ugly eye transition... This anime has nothing to do here, even less than FT imo, I wasn't too bothered about it so far but that just crosses the line of what you can do for a supposedly halloween mep. The editing isn't really impressive, it seems totally out of pace actually, you didn't follow the change in the song.

Track 9: I already said some stuff about it in private. FT has some "creepy" parts that you could have used but let's forget about it. Apart from that, to me the scenes are still too fast and it's definitely not the kind of part I'd expect on this phase of the song that calls for heavier impacts and slower actions.

Track 10: Nice part! I didn't remember this OVA had those well animated scenes tbh. Nothing to say, it's not bad

Track 11: Tbh I think this part is better than the FT because the song is in its chorus and the way you put scenes fits more to a chorus. Other than that it's a generic SAO part, sad to end on this after Persona 5, that would have left only two really off-topic parts but hey.

So yeaaahh, the mep didn't do the trick for me so here's your treat. Keep it up but think a bit longer when going for mep projects like this.

Well, to be honest, i was expecting this haha, now i feel bad xD .
I'll discuss with my friends and try to improve our teamwork in meps .
For me... I'll think harder before i start editing something haha... ha

It means various things. First you got an inconsistent mask that appears in front of the same character at 0:31. It's not good because the two scenes are close-ups.
Then, there is a similar problem with a zoom at 0:35 where you zoom on Subaru's hair only to zoom out on another close-up of Subaru. Two problems here actually, 1. you're already at the same level so the cam move is unnecessary, 2. by zooming in then out it breaks the movement.
That's another common issue in your part, you zoom in, you zoom out almost immediately. Overall the camera management is bad, you go in all the directions without any logic, that's the point I was focusing on when I said it was messy.
Last but not least, the sweep/push transitions don't make sense because colors are so different between each scene and/or the scenes don't prepare for such a lateral movement.

I hope you got most of it.

alright lol i get where ur coming from ill try my best
