I'd like to give you some editing tips from a viewer but with an editor's mind  :euro:

On such an emotional song, the majority of the stunts should've been shown up close. I personally think that the less close the camera is from the player/event, the less personal it feels, as the focus isn't concetrated on the center but spread out in the background as well. And second - the colours. All that blue didn't have any place there at all. Would've been better IMO if you used red&whiteglow-ish colours and fx on the chorus and dark ones on the rest. The suspense you created around the finisher may have worked if the stunt was completely mindblowing, but instead I kinda laughed at it, cause not only did I knew what he was gonna do but I knew it was gonna be completely lame (no offence).
----------------

I enjoyed the video tho, but mainly because of the song :P

Wow, huge thanks for that review MMM, gonna keep that in mind when editing something again, and yeah, there weren't really a good finisher choice from the stunts that I recieved and I really wanted to fulfill that suspense idea, so I had to improvise somehow  :euro:

Well, just 'cause you send a stunt doesn't mean I have to put it in. Well, sorry, but it was kinda weak stunt  :cheersad:
Maybe next time  :cc_detective:

YUSSSS!

The edit I took you in for! Creative overlay ideas and siiick color changes!

It looks so psychedelic. Stunts were okay!


One thing I disliked was the finisher editing... MMM wrote it all... I knew what was happening at it took too long to actually happen. Nice presentation tho!


GOOD JOB MATE!

This. Overall stunts were leftovers.

Alright, now i'm ready, gonna write my mega-review.

First of all, I'd like to compliment you on picking such a soundtrack. It's something unusual but at the same time perfect for creating a good editing, and you sure didn't disappoint on that aspect. Moving on to the editing, I have to say I'm impressed that you could pull off a editing this long and keep it pretty much consistent throughout. I sure enjoyed your ET stuff, however creating an actual full-length video and keeping the viewer interested for so long is something not everyone can do. Your effects usage clearly had thought behind them, every effect seemed to synchronize with some kinda beat or sound from the track, and the atmosphere itself shifted as the song did. 95% of editors don't care about song feeling changes and stick to the same color scheme the entire video, while you clearly differentiated the aggressive and atmospheric parts, while also blending them together smoothly. There are too many good moments in the video, so I can't name them all, but I'll mention that spinny grind stunt in LS, the editing on that one was impeccable and 100% matching! You sure did pick a perfect moment for a stunt like that.

However, it is clear that you are still getting accustomed to full-length video editing, because at some moments you got really, really carried away. Simply you let the song take you too far I guess. A clear example of this would be the finisher, where you created all that suspense for pretty much nothing. It's sure great practice, but you gotta keep in mind that it's an actual stunt video you're producing here, not just a show-off of your skills. But, as in all parts of the video, it showed you put thought behind it, and that's what matters to me.

So, I'll wrap it up by saying I really liked some of the stunts, MMM stood out as usual, great job.

8.5/10

And, if you're interested in practicing some more, I've got a bunch of used stunts I could give you :1
