Uploading the video here shortly. It's pretty bad but please, don't refrain from negative feedback. Tell me it was bad, don't worry about going easy on me. Also, leave feedback for SSP's, he worked hard on his video.

SS Press - I loved the song, Muse is awesome. The video was really well put together and I just liked watching it.
Shotgun - Not a bad video but nothing really special either. I didn't like the ending because the music was loud and intense and you just had clips of the wrestlers instead of wrestling there it seemed weird with what the music was doing.

Gotta go with SSPress here. I liked the theme of his vid better and felt it was easier to get into than shotguns. Both vidz seemed like the editing was more focaused on the wrestling rather than the editing but to myself at least SSPress had his theme built as a semi show recap so his story was already told. Shotguns was a bit random to me but I still enjoyed the watching it.

Shotgun: I liked it, it was a nice short tribute vid. Yopu got in all the good clips you needed. I wasn't too high on the song, and like someone said, it wasn't really "special"
SSP: I wasn't too high on the beginning, but then it really picked up! I didn't like the song too much. I hated the picture quality. Synch was on, some nice effects too. Good footage, you got loads of great high spots. I liked the slow submission part about 2 minutes in.
Winner: SSP.

SS Press:
First off, Muse is awesome, and I was instantly hooked from the start from the song. There were couple missed synch oppotunities, but I think you hit more than you missed. The flash effect was very cool and it worked well. I think you should have used more non-action shots though. Pure spots get boring a lot of the time.
sh0tgun!:
I had high hopes because I loved your Irish Airborne MV, and to be honest, this was kind of a let down. I wasn't big on the song and it didn't seem to fit a tribute to IWA. There were a couple long clips too, like the clip with one of the Crists standing on the top rope with Hallowicked's hand. All short MV's make me want more, but there's two kinds. A good one will leave me wanting more so I'll go and watch some of the stuff, and a decent one will just make me wish the MV maker had included more, or made a different video.
Winner: SS Press

SS Press:
I did enjoy this music video, I will say that I think SS Press had the advantage here using TNA footage against indy.
Liked: I enjoyed the mirror/echo effect, is that the right name?, one thing that really stuck out for me in this video was the ending that had a lot of the finishes that was cool.
Disliked: What I disliked was D-Von's butt coming at me when I had this on full screen, that's just horrible. And this is on fault of yours...Frank...but I just kinda bored of Muse right now.
Shotgun:
Like I said already I feel SS Press came in with the advantage with quality of footage.
Liked: The synching in my mind was top notch, that always helps me enjoy a video more. The lyric synch with open up with Cannon's wound was good too. I'm sure there was some more but I did notice the Over and Over one too.
Disliked: I think the only real problem with this video was the length, I guess...using the same drumroll effect didn't help but that's always a safe effect to use.
Winner: SS Press

SSP
Muse kick ass. I'm still hoping to see them in the *NEW* Wembley Stadium in the summer.
Perfect layout of clips : slap, Styles suicida etc...
The triple sync was really nice and was on time all the way though.
(I'm speaking as a whole here) TNA event re-cap's are such an easy way out and I feel that there is no real creative thought gone into those MV's. There's been no spark, that moment when you go "shit that is a great fucking idea". So points lost.
Shotgun
I liked how deliberately the impact of the move wasn't the main focus of the music sync and effects.
The t-bone splice into the corner looked really cool.
Really ended abruptly, just as I was getting into it.
Maybe this was due to time, but add another 45 seconds and it would have beaten SSP.
SSP wins with a Shooting Star Press in fact.

SS Press - Great mv, the synching with the zooms were excellently synched. The song choice had me bored though.
Sh0tgun - Great mv aswell. The song here actually had me more interested, and the pacing of the mv went well with it. Loved the "over and over" part.
A VERY tough decision, but Im gunna take Shotty's mv. His song kept me watching the whole time.

SS Press:
This was good stuff, I can tell you worked hard. The intro came off fantastic - the effect you applied to everything, as well as the slow mo (which at sometimes was too slow, be careful of that) really set the tone and turned out great. When it picked up I thought you still did a pretty good job, and I did like what you did with the big beats in the chorus. I also liked how you used that zooms rather then the typical strobes, it's always neat to see how many things people do with the drums.
I thought there was a lot of beats you really coulda taken better advantage of throughout the verse and chorus, but you're getting better with that. For a song like this, you want faster, crisper, and more "in your face" cuts. Also at some points I wasn't quite sure what you were doing with your zooms... notably around 1:00 where you cut off the bottom half of the ring, and eventually Sabin comes in out of nowhere. I found it a bit distracting
However, I can tell you put a lot of effort into everything in this MV, so great work. This may be your best MV yet.
sh0tgun!:
You did a much better job with this MV then you give yourself credit for. It was paced pretty well - you did a really good job with that. Starting it off with the Kingston clip was a great choice, and went really well with the music. The strobes were all timed pretty well, which I know can be a bitch to do. Throughout the MV you used a few subtle zooms that come off very well, IWA looks a bit boring on tape so it's great to add some extra movement. I love how you switched from line to line, such as the part around :30. It was timed very well and there was no awkward cuts.
I was really enjoying it the MV, but by the second half you could tell you were "not feeling it", because the edits were a lot less unique and much slower. It really picked up again at the end with the "over and over" and the intro riff again, but there was a bit before that you didn't seem to care much about. Overall, I think you did a pretty good job with this, and i'd love to see you try a more ambitious MV as you've been getting much better.
I gave the point to SS Press for this one. I felt overall he had a more consistent video, while later on in sh0tgun's MV you can tell he was done caring. SSP's effort really shined through in this one, although both MV's were really good and something to be proud of.

SSP - What can I say? This really is a great video. My only problem is the ending. There's just something I didn't like about it. Regardless, hell of a vid. Loved the song (as you'd guess) and thought you did a great job.
Shotgun - Decent vid but not much to say. Too many black flashes, song is alright at best, and it felt like it ended too early.
I gotta give it to my boy SSP here. His vid was overall more entertaining and just plain better.

SSP: Fundamentally, this was a very, very good video. I've said this before, but I believe your greatest strength as a video maker is your ability to really feel the momentum and rhythm of the song you're using and play to its strengths - which says a lot that I appreciate this because I usually hate your music selection. The effect on the beat trifecta was absolutely wonderful, especially (as you are probably well aware) on Chris Daniels. Unfortunately, though, this videos biggest weakness is that it is yet another TNA Pay Per View recap. Yours was great, and right up there with those of Jeckel, maynard, PNB and about fifty other guys. Get my point? Although good, it's still pretty yawn. No one ever bothers with anything but tight editing on these - no story, no emotion, nothing. And I am not in the camp that says judge each video on its own - I do consider a video's uniqueness when I vote, and this one fails on that remarkably. Additionally, like this feedback, the ending was very abrupt and I didn't like it.
sh0tgun!: Maybe it's my own fault for pushing you into the competition, but I think this one is definitely rushed. There's no arch. I mean... it was a bad song choice because the song is monotonous. It starts, proceeds and ends at exactly the same tempo. It's short. It really doesn't say all that much. And while it's possible to take a bad song (or, what have you, a song I dislike) and make it work, this video unfortunately succumbed to all of the song's weaknesses on its own. This seemed more like a music video preview than an actual video. I know that you really do care for storytelling in videos, so it's a shame that you had to get this out instead of, for lack of a better word, something more meaningful.
Winner: SSP
Basically, it came down to two story-less, depth-less videos whose merits would exist solely on precise editing, technical ability and song use. And one video had inarguably more precision, ability and intelligent use of music.

SSP: Good video. The song was fine. Syncing was on and you used some nice pan zooms like on Shelly's lionsault. I didn't like the three beat effect druing the chorus. It kind of hurt the sync. It looked great on Daniels though. Nice effect at 2:09 though I think it should of stayed until 2:49. I loved the drum roll effect at 1:42 & 3:06. I liked the ending showing all pin falls and winners but a fade out would have been better. sh0tgun!: This was not bad. Syncing was on and the black flashes worked but it needed more effects. Good lyric sync with "spin me over" at :53. The flash at 1:11 looked nice but was hard to notice. Nice pan zoom at 1:13. Syncing to 1:37 - 1:47 was excellent with the "over and over" lyric. Very noticeable audio edit at 1:41 though. Ending was too sudden as well. Winner: SSP Sort of a let down match to be honest. Both videos were good but not special like I was sort of hoping for.  |
