I'll give you my full insight on the video, but first a huge thanks for making it!!!! <3
The introductory image fit with my set but for some reason I don't think it blended in that well, maybe it's because it's not something people are used to seeing in TB videos.
I absolutely loved the recording and shaders on the first replay. That background effect you got around 0:23 was brilliant.
Not sure if the font and colors saying "Heroes never die" were the best ones but finding the right ones can be a fucking pain so I understand.
The sync and transitions on the following destruction replays were great and it felt like you found the exact perfect place to use them.
On the juggling replay around 0:57 maybe recording Uke's head coming straight to the camera would have been a nice effect to spice it up. (emphasis on the "maybe").
On the replay around 1:13 maybe a close up to the decap would make the drop stand out a bit more.
The only thing that I didn't really like was the use of the replays at 1:20 and 2:55, because they're so old they don't actually portray the way I play anymore, but I guess it was my bad not telling you to disregard them.
Brilliant camera work at the replay on 1:32, loved it.
Unusual but awesome choice to use that skating replay at the drop of the beat.
Great, great, great job at editing the sparring replays. You really made the best parts stand out and even I felt it was my first time watching them.
The second skating replay felt a bit off sync.
The replay at 2:33 was a hell of a surprise. You actually made one of my first replays ever look good and that was unbelievably impressive.
Great job on the "fireballs" replay as well.
The ending felt a bit anti-climatic though, but it was still nice.
Overall, I loved the video. I only pointed out my opinion so thoroughly to let you know stuff that maybe could help you get even better, because honestly it's a hell of a great video and all your work on the video-making community is remarkable.
I can see you really studied it
Whenever I make a video, I try to go beyond the simple framework of the game. Atmosphere and to give a little life in this virtual world. Maybe a little of your own personality shines there (and mine too, probably ;) ).
My video has helped you to revisit some of your replays, that you could see with new eyes and find a little life, a little breath in this video was quite the challenge for me. This aspect is more important to me than the quality of the effects, which is quickly forgotten when it's the fifth time you watch the video.
I had to make choices, sometimes difficult for framing, color, place of a replay, etc.. I take into account your remarks, I also approve of the vast majority.
The quality of your replays obviously helps a lot to give this rendering quality.
It was an honor for me to make this video.
