My first PMV!

[Skyfire 62]

Hey everypony,

i was bored the last few days, so i created a PMV with a Vodoo People Remix.

I was drawing too, for example a 1.5m big rainbow dash (on my door)

please tell me your opinion and what i could do better :3

Well, my specialty isn't really in drawings (the second one is pretty nice though), but I can offer input on your PMV!

 

First of all is that I would suggest using a different method to get your footage. Your description implies that you used Fraps to record it for use in PMVs; am I correct in assuming this? There's a very noticable deteroration in quality. I download the videos from my personal source, but there are also options such as youtube downloaders, which will definitely help with keeping things at a decent quality level. Freemake makes a nice and free one.

 

With that out of the way, you have a very good sense of timing! Especially in the opening part, where, by using a snappy pace, you kept a commonly used scene interesting. 

 

However, especially with a repetitive song like this, it's important not to overuse the same clips. I try not to use the same clip more than even once in a typical video! The "rolling rolling rolling" bit in particular would have been helped by a little more variety.

 

Anyways, I'm glad that you are pursuing PMVs, and congratulations on getting that first one finished! Hopefully you'll post more in the future, yes?

sure i will,
thank you for the tipps, ill try to make my next vid. (which will appears sooner or later) even better.
i know that the rolling part is a bit often the same loop, i just didnt know what else to set.
Timing is the most important for me, yes. Im still having some mistakes there, but first time cant be perfekt, especially when using vegas since 3 days...
