BRING ME TO LIFE
Great Quality clips and scenes! I liked the song choice for the relational characters within the video! I liked in the beginning opening where you had the coffin close in and it was very effective in the song movements and the opening of the video.
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
Great Trailer for phantom of the opera video! I liked how you named the video Pirates of the Caribbean and the video to be a phantom of the opera video! Great song choice and clip usage!
Pirates of the Caribbean: Very good action shown in this video! Nice music as well and a great ending to the video. Awesome job!
Hindi Sad Diamonds: This was just an all around great video, I gave it "Judges Choice" because it's the one I enjoyed the most! You chose
scenes to compliment the music and to tell the story of the Moulin Rouge. Your editing was perfect and I really loved the opening sequence.
This movie happens to be one of my favorites and the story you told with your video brought out the highlights of the film.
Beauty And The Beast: Choosing an instrumental for music I would imagine is challenging because you don't have lyrics to convey your
story, having to rely soley upon clip choices. I've never seen the movie in it's entirety, but your video was so well done that I understood the
romance between the characters. You editing was great and I really loved the video!
Beauty and the Beast: I really like your opening with this video and the lovely song you used in it. Very beautiful video. I could see the vulnerability in the relationship and how much the two characters loved each other in this video. Lovely job!
Why? Cassie, this a beautiful vid! Your scenes were perfect, as well as the song choice (It?s such an awesome song!) I really enjoy watching your Passion of The Christ vids, and your passion for Jesus shines through. A wonderful video! Beautiful job, Cassie! :D
"I'm Too Sexy"
This video was a great combination of comedy, character, and sexiness! Of course the perfect song was used which is by Right Said Fred, I believe. The voiceovers were really funny so I found myself laughing while I watched the video. So, nice job!

This Is Your Time
What a lovely, sweet, and tearjerking video! Great couple and romance shown. I could really see the story here without having seen the movie. This was a wonderful video to watch. Awesome job!

The First Time
I liked how you did this video. You had parts in the song where the phantom was talking. It worked really well with the song. I love the scenes you chose as well. This video is a great story. I especially liked how you ended with the video with the phantom saying something about the ring and closes Christine's hand. This video also had good use of song and effects as well.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" - I like how you use the variety of clips to build suspense and action - this is better than the actual movie trailer. I watched Phantom in theatres and love the film, but this video/movie trailer would have piqued my interest more - 20th Century Fox should have asked permission to use yours instead. Good editing job - gives the video a professional look and adds an air of mystery.
"I See Love" - This is a very moving video - brought tears to my eyes. The clips are well picked and well placed, an inspiring visual reminder of what Jesus did for us all. I See Love is a lovely, well - chosen song, given the theme of the video. Well done!
The Potrait
I loved how you did this video using the instrumental song of My Heart Will Go On. This video was sad in a way since you used a sad song. It was cute. I especially loved the part in the end where Frankie I assume gives the boy a figurine of the seahorse? LOL! I dont remember what its called. that he admired in the tank. I especially loved the part where they pinky promised! Good use of song and effects as well.

Heartmagic
Great tearjerker. I think using an instrumental was perfect and a nice change for me. I've never seen this fandom, but was able to keep up with the vid. Transition wise I felt you could have dropped them because they really are unnecessary especially for such a serious vid and at times it did move a bid slow but overall I enjoyed it! Great job!
Bolero - Great Phantom of the Opera video! I liked the theme you decided to use throughout the whole video and its consistent flow was brilliant throughout! I really liked the darkness of the video with phantom and the whole smoothness to it. The action sequence were great and the character insight was really well done! I really liked the quote and words in the beginning, it was very effective with the running in the video and gave an awesome start and introduction to the video. I liked the black and white scenes, and at 0:49 with the black fades with the glowing candlelight was great! The crossfades at 1:08 made it really smooth. Using the motion and zooms in the scene was fascinating!
Alla Luce Da Sole
This is a great video, the song is really pretty too. I love the scenes you used, when the music is building and you used the romantic scenes between Edmund & Mercedes. Love how you singled out Edmund when he?s walking down the stairs. And I really liked the ending clip you used. Great job, Elion!
The First Time
Your scenes fit good with the song and the narration, and your editing is really good with the vid. Good job, Elion! :D
Overture
First off, I like the choice of song you used. I liked how you used a music from Beethoven. I really worked with this video and bringing suspense to the video as well. I liked the clips you used. They worked with this particular song piece. I liked how you had small flashback scenes in the beginning. It had really good editting too since you used some parts scenes in parts of the video. I liked how you did it! It had action.
Whisper
Great Character video of River. I liked how you used the motion in the movie and was able to set it through with the lyrics and sequences of the clips. You were able to very well describe River's feelings and emotions in the video and was able to well construct a POV through River from the events throughout the video! Great Job!
Home
Wow, now this brings back memories. One of my absolute favorite movies! I used to watch it over and over. Love it! Such a nicely done video, and the song choice was great! Very nice job Elion!
Haunted
Wow, the song with this video was perfect together. It seriously gave me shivers because it just fit so well together. The effects were great and something that stood out to me for some reason was when the song was beeping or something, you had the clips go right along with the beat of it. I loved that.
Haunted
I liked the effects on the screen shape you used over the musical intro. The
music there is rather haunting and unsettling, and you did a great job of
choosing clips that captured that. The music in general seemed to be a great
fit for both the action during the choruses and the slower clips during the
verses. Great job in that respect.
I LOVED the use of flashing clips mixed with black space at 0:49. Perfect
interpretation of the music right there. I also liked the way you edited the
action here. I'm not sure of the style of the source editing, but in the vid
the action had a nice flow to it while still retaining its inherent
excitement. I always say you don't *have* to have fast-cuts to edit an
exciting action sequence and this is a good example of that.
I really liked the subtle move from black and white to color around 1:50, as
well as they way you erased him to transition into the next clip. Overall, I
thought you did a nice job with this video.
Just Like You Imagined
(X-Men 1, 2, 3): "Spartans! Tonight we dine in..." wait...same song, different movie :P I do love, love, lovvvve this song though. I really like how the video was almost trailer like with the inner-titles, and it had a great epic quality to it that was enhanced by the intensity of the song. This was awesome:D
Your Eyes
You did a good job of showing angst through this couple. Great job with the emphasis on "your eyes." Good video. Nice job!
There Is No Greater Love
I like your opening scenes for the vid, the scenes fit great with lyrics. I liked how you used the light/glow effect at around 1:37, to me representing the love of Christ speaking to him, that’s a great part. I love the effect you used at around 2:36, it fit really well with “the gates of Splendor” lyric. The story of the Missionaries is a wonderful one, and you did a beautiful job of telling their tale with this vid. It’s a very beautiful vid. Excellent job!
Home
I really like the fact you did a vid on ‘The Wizard of Oz’, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any vids on it before, and Judy Garland was such a great actress. Your effects are great, and fit good with the lyrics and theme of the video. The quick flashes at the end were timed perfect. I enjoyed this vid, you did a great job!
"There Is No Greater Love"
Powerfully moving - brought tears to my eyes. Good clip usage.
"The Portrait"
Sweet and touching video. Nice scenes.
Return To Innocence
I think the song you used here really described the children's story in the movie perfectly. You did a good job of showing the cast and action in this video. Nice job!
Haunted
Great song use for this film! The song itself has a sinister, chilling melody that suits the dark colors of the film as well as the subject nicely. This is a great depiction of the film and I am so glad you submitted it to me! This is one of my favorite Gerry movies even though alot of people enjoyed it but didn't love it, it suited my Viking obsession on a grandscale. Not to mention the editing and effects were wonderful. This is probably one of my favorite videos of yours Elion, keep up the great vidding!
Haunted
Great editing throughout the video! You hit the beats and the your on-timing was greatly noticeable! The song choice really matched the scenes you chose because it was really haunting. The use of action sequences is quite nice along with the flow of the music with it.
It's The Fear
I really liked this video, especially the gory parts. Woot. I don't follow Alias, but this video just seemed so right for a young female spy (?). It's easy to understand that even though she wins her battles and survives, she's still terrified of losing. This video was well-crafted and the song choice was excellent.
Requiem
Here is another video, awesome and brilliantly done. I was surprised to find it as an instrumental piece – that must have been slightly harder to do than a regular song. You timed the clips well, using the climatic parts of music in brilliant correspondence to the scenes. Because there was no focus on lyrics, I could pay more attention to the scenes and the emotions that the accompanying music brought out. One can get very wrapped up in the video!
Requiem
This video was the most unique and among the entries this round. The choice of song was really beautiful and fitting for the footage. This video was simply beautiful to watch. Plus, it’s hard to go wrong when I get to look at Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman. I can’t wait to see the movie now! Wonderful!
It's the Fear
Cec: Great editing! I love that opening sequence! You did a great job using the beats of the song, too! You did a great job keeping up the intensity of the video! That scene at 2:15 was a great match for the "darkness that's growing inside of me."
Kaycee: Wow, awesome Sydney video! I really liked all the cool effects you used (especially the color ones). I also thought you did a great job mixing action-packed clips with more introspective ones. Impressive work!
Whisper
Cool effects! I love the way you had River looking at a dead reaver when the song said something like "I know there is more to come." That was a great match. That effect at 2:16 was REALLY neat! The scene at 2:39 looks absolutely perfect with the music there, and I LOVE the part around 3:06 where is it slow, then on the beat the scene speeds up! Very cool! Awesome job!
It’s the Fear
I loved the fast pacing and masking in the beginning! It creates such hard-hitting movement in the video! The action sequences were well done and I also loved the editing. I thought that some scenes could have used a little more cutting to match the beat and also a lot more internal movement could have been done, but overall you made a great video!
Lion
I love this song! Your beginning scenes are good with Aslan leaving the tent, and the "I'm scared" part at 30 seconds were good scenes to use :) I like the effects you used at 44 seconds, they help enhance the lyrics. And I like scene at 1:37, that fit good with it :) One of my favorite scenes though is it at 2:07 to 2:21 - where Peter is in such awe at Aslan's magnificence presence, and it completely fits with the lyrics. Nice job, Elion :)
500 Miles
I like your concept for the video, and Claire & Marek are such a beautiful couple. I like the scenes at 2:22 from 3:03. they were sweet scenes. Nice video Elion :)
The Last Hallelujah
You edited this one very nicely Elion, and I really like how you showed John 15:13, that is one of my favorite verses and its a very beautiful one, then back to the video to see that Jesus is no longer in the tomb. A beautiful video Elion, great job! :)
Deliver Me
You did a nice job with this video and scene choices and editing. I really like the theme of this one, and the video gets even more gripping as it goes, and you see his breakdown. I like the effect you used at the end of the video :) - Great vid Elion! :)
Requiem
I have never seen this movie before & I haven't heard of it either, but I really enjoyed this vid because it was something different, something I wasn't used to. This has got to be one of my favorite movie vids I have seen, so I must thank you for that. Keep doing what you're doing, because its working.
Good Enough
Like the one above, I haven't seen/heard of this movie but I really enjoyed it. Probably more that the Requiem one. I liked the song you used also.
Going Under
Very cool video. Perfect song choice. This was probebly one of only Vampire movies that I liked, along with Bram Stoker's Dracula. I like the "Screaming, Decieving and Bleeding for you", "Don't want your hand this time" parts. The part where it says,"Not tormented daily, defeated by you" and "Reached the bottom" was perfect. "Confusing the thoughts in my head" was a cool part where you added a blue color effect. I also liked the part at 3:05 "I'm falling forever". Cool ending!
See Who I Am
Very nice beginning. I liked the "Come into my world. See through my eyes." where you show the clip of Dean and the "Dean-look-a-like" shapeshifter and then later on show Bloody mary looking at herself through the mirror. I really liked the part with Mary and Jessica on the ceiling burning from 3:34 - 3:57 to the slow part of the song. Very cool/creepy action video.
See Who I Am
Cec: Great editing! Seriously, I can see how hard you worked on this! The pacing of the editing matches the pacing of the song. Also, just the scenes themselves were placed at the perfect parts of the song. You kept this so interesting! I love that sequence from about 3:58 to 4:02!!
Kaycee: Cool Supernatural video! I really liked how many different creepy clips you used. The song was a good choice for this show! The blurred transition looked great. I loved all the action scenes..great montage!
The Legend
No doubt, one of the best song choice of the round. While being uneven, it still manages to give a both sad and powerful look at the universe and the characters in play. I especially loved the horse riding at 1:20, the action sequence between 1:42 and 1:48, the jewel breaking at 2:05, the battle and shot of Frodo between 3:30 and 3:39 and the shot of Pippin at 5:19. Despite some distracting talky faces, the sequence at 2:17 is original and powerful.
Our Solemn Hour
That spotlight effect at the beginning was really cool! I am LOVING your editing! The fast cuts and the quick flashes between certain scenes are all so well done! That sequence of fast cuts at 1:07 was awesome! That swequence at about 1:17 was absolute perfection for the "insanity is all around us." The editing matches the beats very well! I am extremely impressed with this video! Fantastic!
Our Solemn Hour
Kaycee: Awesome Supernatural video! The circles/black looked great in the beginning. The song was a great choice...the creepy, urgent mood went well with the series. I loved getting to see so many action clips edited so well! I especially liked the really fast cuts you would have on the beats...nice job!
Going Under
I loved the dark mood in this video. The footage lighting was a great touch especially in the beginning. I liked how you added the fast cuts! Those were very well fit for the video as well as the relationship between the two characters which you portrayed such a different personality, Great job!
Angels
This video was so beautiful. The editing was absolutely wonderful and the song choice was great. This has to be one of my favorite Phantom of the Opera videos. The effects and transactions were quite simple, but that can make the greatest video. It wasn't overdone, but it was just right. Keep up the great work.
Highlands
I like your intro, it fits quite well for the Phantom :) - I like the blend @ 3:54 very nice :) - Your editing and blending of this video was very nice, and the scene usage was good. Great job, Elion! :)
Amarantine
I like the scene at 22 seconds, it's sweet and kind of cute :) - I also like the following scene with the bow, and when he goes to rescue her :) - I like the scene at 1:18 til 1:35, they're sweet scenes and fit the lyrics :) The ending is sad, but I liked the song, it was pretty, and your editing was good. Nice job Elion :)
Book of Days
I love this movie, so I'm glad you sent me this video! :D - I like the scene at 1:36, it fit good with the ethereal sound of the music. I also like the 2:05 scene, it fit great with the beat of the music! :D - Great video, Elion! :D
Tell Me now
The "in my dreams" scene fit really good with the lyrics! :) - I like the scenes from 2:36 to 2:55, and how you made the Lucy scene B&W. I like the scene @ 3:14, it fits the lyrics, and adds a sense of urgency to the video. The scene after at 3:29 fits really good also :) - I loved how you ended it. Great video, Elion! :D
O Fortuna
I like how you made this video. :) It reminds me of a movie musical as well as a movie trailer for all the Star Wars films, as if George Lucas had decided to sell all six in a boxset. One of my favorite scenes is the opening sequence for the first 24 seconds. It builds interest and suspense. :) I also like your ending scenes from 2.30 - 2.47, along with the use of the quick-cut scenes toward the end - those were good too. I like how from 26 seconds -1.33, you go in story timeline order, starting with the Phantom Menace and ending with Return of the Jedi. That was good. I like your song choice too. The music matches your scenes perfectly, especially at 1.44 seconds. Good job!
Bolero
I like the suspenseful scene when Madame Giry picks up the note from the Phantom. The different shape effects you use in the video are very good. Your split or dual mirror effect at the end is neat. I like your editing and music pacing with Erik, Christine and Raoul at the end of the video - it seems that for every thought of Christine or Raoul, he smashes the mirror.
One Night
I love your music choice, it's a beautiful score! :D - I like the scene @ 1:09. I also the like scenes from 2:01 till the ending, they fit very well with the music style. This is a beautiful vid and you did a great job! :)
Did you Know?
Wow! I love your blending of the Passion of The Christ & Nativity Story, and your scene choice fits really good with the lyrics! I love your quick cuts, they're matched perfectly with the beats, and I love the glow effect @ 3:06. Wow! This is an EXCELLENT & beautiful vid, Cassie! You did a wonderful job on it! :D
I See Love
This is a great song, and your scenes fit perfectly with the lyrics. I like the part @ 1:54 "see a Hero, who set his people free", great usage there :) - I like the scene @ 2:36 "peace in the eyes of a King" and the following "hope in Your suffering & calm in the center of the storm", those are all very good scenes to use! I like the parts you used with Jesus & Mary where he splashes water on her face. This is a beautiful video Cassie, and illustrates everything Jesus is perfectly!
Bethlehem Dawn
I like the scene @ 1:46 "that same voice makes my heart beat", and the following about the tears in His mothers and fathers eyes. I like the scenes @ "this little baby is bathing in my shame", those were very good scenes. This is a very good video with a great message, beautiful job Elion! :)
Only Hope
I LOVE the way the you use overlays and transitions. I also really like the way the aspect ratios and stuff change (like around :10). That was SO cool! The blurry and glowy transitions were very nice touches. Everything stayed very flowy and cohesive! The fade-in/fade-out sequence about 2:30 minutes in was perfect for that part of the song!
Only Hope
Excellent video! The blurry transitions were so pretty. I also loved the song choice, and the slow motion scenes went well with it. The part at the interlude with the black fades was awesome! This was such a romantic and sweet video with some great editing!
Angels
You can really see all the thought you put into this video. It comes across as very powerful, bringing out all of the emotion in a touching way. This music fits the video and the storyline so well! It’s as though it were written just for POTO. You paid astounding attention to detail and meaning in this video, and the result is an overall excellent video. Thanks for submitting, it was quite enjoyable to experience.
Angels
Wow! This was a fantastic video! I loved the song, and I thought it fit perfectly with the Phantom of the Opera storyline. I really liked how you matched clips with lyrics, and how you matched beats with clip changes and complimenting effects. Altogether, very impressive.
Our Solemn Hour
The song choice for this is very good and sets us up for an action-packed, emotional video. Your clip choice and effects do a great job of grabbing my attention and pulling me into the story and what is going on. Excellent job combining the action and tragedy that surrounds Supernatural. This was very well made and again shows your high skills as a vidder. Thanks for submitting!
The New Batman
I loved that this was a trailer video, and also a mini overview video of the series. The editing went well and in time with the music. Great job with it : ) Can’t wait to see you back in the next round with something Spartan for me.
Forgiven
The fading transistions and the way the overlays fade in and out in places is so nice! The whole flow of the video is great.I LOVE that sequence that is brown tinged and editied so that the scenes cut on the piano notes. That was lovely! The glowing transistions are, of course, wonderful as well! The parts of her looking in on him with his new wife were perfect matches! Very sweet!
Forgiven
All the overlays looked so smooth and pretty. I also liked the blurred transitions. The music was beautiful and you matched the clips and effects with the tone of the song. You included such drama and emotion in this video. I enjoyed watching this video very much!
Angels
Wow this video was absolutely beautiful. The quality of the clips were amazing! You captured their relationship and her lust for him perfectly. The music definitely makes the video. Sometimes people will use songs that don't fit that great, but you did a perfect job finding a song for this movie. The violins and the melody helped you capture the true feeling in the video. The effects you used were also wonderful. Ive never seen this movie or seen a fan-made video on it either but I really wanna see this movie now thanks to you. lol. This was a trully remarkable love story I enjoyed it very much!
Good Enough
The clip you used to open the video and the effects used do a great job of introducing the sad song and story. I like that the clips you chose make their relationship seem both tragic yet also magical. Your selection really matched the back and forth happy and sad feeling of the song. The final scene of the vid was very appropriate, so you ended just as strongly as you opened! You took advantage of the song to set the mood and also progress the storyline. Overall, a lovely relationship and character study! Thanks for submitting!
The Howling
Cool action and violent piece. I liked the use of beautiful source material such as 0:18 or 2:16 and the battle sections are very well paced and orchestrated.
Final Destination
Gorgeous effects. All the zooming and cutting and editing is perfectly matched with the music. I love the way you match the music even down to the sound effects! This is serious, intense stuff as well a seriously kick ass editing! You put a ton of work into this video and it shows in every second! I mean the scenes and the song are just seamlessly combined. I'm so impressed!
Final Destination
Man, the editing on this video was amazing! I loved all the quick scenes changes and the color effects you used. The overlays at 1:05 looked very good! You put so many great action and creepy scenes into the video: all of which matched the lyrics so nicely. Also, I really liked all the zoomings around 2:40. This was excellent!
Angels
This video still blows me away when I watch it! I wish I could pick a few places that helped me decide to give this best music choice, but really the entire thing, from start to finish, fits incredibly well. As for your personal editing, it only makes it that much more enjoyable and powerful to watch. Your fast editing, that I really have yet to see someone else come close to, is a great addition to this video and in a way personalizes it to you. And you still do great at the slower parts, as well! Overall, one of the best videos I’ve seen. I really enjoy your style and I hope to see more of you at the site in future rounds =)
