Lost Video Island

I don't know what my chances are of getting an answer considering the fact that you posted about sending all letters out at the same time so I'm sure there'll be a lot of threads like this.

I had no idea this sucked. Honest.

If it were Big Gay Boone I wouldn't even ask, but I worked super-fucking-hard on this video.

Can I trade? Hahaha. Two for the price of one. Kidding! (Or am I?) Notice how I continue to put off asking the questions that this Sub-Forum was created to ask... Might as well get it over with.

So... any whys and wherefores council members?

To take a token line from the songstress Brandy, "Almost doesn't count."

It does help a little though.

well It should count! Laura was devastated. She didn't wanna be the one breaking it to you.

I think KC, the problem is a vid is a little too long. And some parts are really good . while some are just dragging along. That's only my opinion though. So, I voted no. Sorry bout that. No hard feeelings alright? I'm sure you'll get better in the next one. And hey just so you know your vid doesn't suck!! Don't even think that alright?

I know everyone says "don't be discouraged." But I can't help but be.

Sigh, I promised Laura I'd be the one to break it to you KC

Well, it's ironic really, you put SO much effort into this video, that we can ALL see clearly

but that's what, in the end, got it rejected >.< the video had great parts near the beginning that were just AWESOME, for instance: the alternating of Kate's photograph with that gausian flashback, but then, as time went on and the song neared the last 2 minutes of the nearly 6 minute song, very litle else happened to bring that excitement level up again and end the video with a good note >.< It was like a can of silly string... at the beginning it was awesome, but then it died down so much by the end, the string only falling out, that when it was over you couldn't remember the good part anymore

to add to this, there were a lot of chances in that video where someone's attention could be grabbed once again, such as some clips to the beat or something.
So ultimately, all that effort that you put in there was what killed it. Nearly 6 minutes of clips without a hard storyline, or at least a really solid use of beats and effects to grab attention, is just a very very risky route to take >.<
If it's any consolation, Laura and Lostcalier liked you video a lot

, so don't blame them, and I can personally say it was the hardest decision I've ever had to make in the last months >.<
But I still think, for your what... fourth?? video, this was amazing, and you need to keep going with these videos

I'm sorry it turned out like this >.< I really am.

Well thanks for trying to explain it to me Hobbes. Silly string huh? Well that's an interesting analogy. Haha. And I do appreciate all the kind words about keeping going and my potential and whatnot. It is good to know that the decision was hard for you. (I hope it was bloody torturous.

)

I don't get this:
