I think you and I are destined to do this forever but that would be too much effort so better not.

PK; When I first saw this. I had the biggest smile on my face. Mainly because of the song, which I remember so fondly cause I was so obsessed with your Ospreay vs Ricochet recap that was set to this song. Its probably one of the best songs I've heard in a recap video (the Ospreay V Ricochet recap is one of my favorite edits ever!). And it matches well with this hybrid style of match. Love how you sticked with one effect throughout your video, which was the inverted effect. And you used it in a very pleasing manner. It was noticeable but subtle. And the "All I Know" text looked fantastic! Was that a throwback to the Ospreay v Ricochet video? I feel like you've used that type of text graphic before.
And like always, the CC looks amazing and very professional. It gives a film type of look which I love. And the yellowish/highly saturated look gives the video a warmth and happy feeling that resembles the tone of the song.
I noticed that there was a bit of camera cuts throughout your video, but I can't blame you since that always WWEs fault lol. I remember seeing a lot of camera cuts in your videos before tho, but this is a big improvement as theres barely any. And the ones that are there were well utilized as they were synced nicely and followed the pace of the video. Another big improvement was the way you trimmed and added/repeated the chorus near the end of the song. I remember the one pet peeve of mine with some your videos was that whenever you reused a section of whatever song you ised later in a video, it felt very abrupt and weirdly put in. In this video however, it feels more smooth and natural.
Extremely great video PK!

[Also, Kid A is definitely better than OK Computer. Heck, In Rainbows is better than OKC!!!]

pain: Woah, that's a very interesting choice of song. It's very different from what you would normally hear in a recap video, but I honestly loved it! When I hear an odd song like this, it's hard to guess how the editor will edit to it IMO. So it definitely gets my attention. And I'm impressed by how well you edited to this song. Like PK, you also used the negative effect, but yours looked a lot more grittier and grayish which I thought was fascinating. It gave the video a more darker ambience. Same goes with the desaturation. Btw, what's the quality of the match? It looked to be in low quality, and when you mix it with desaturation it gives it an even more grittier feeling. Dont know if that was done on purpose, if it was then good job. Although, it was a bit hard to see what was going on.
Big fan of the quick cuts! They go well with fast beats of the song. And the little shakes were well done. The fisheye looked cool too. Very impressive work.
Please give more insightful and more in depth feedback. The description of this video says that we should do better to see what your video means. If you want better and analytical feedback, then you should do your part and do the same as well instead of trashing people's videos lol.

Incredible and very close match!

[N.g.N]

DOES THIS MEAN THAT ALL THIS TIME, YOUR 3 VIDEOS ABOUT FINN BALOR WERE FOR REWIND? i am really impressed
Well, let's start with the first fall.
PK: I really loved your video, that fight was very good and the editing is very clean and good, a really good video.


Pain: I am surprised to know that this trilogy was by FMVC, I did not like this video as much as the others but it was a rare and good start to what was my favorite video trilogy of this 2020

This fall is taken by PK

PK: Great video. I think you got a lot better in syncing and pacing although,
I would avoid to flicker all clip changes and would go for more subtle small crossfades to transition one clip to the other,
it just would make everything much more smooth and easier to follow.
Some effect choices are questionable just as the inverted effects you used for flickers,
I would've sticked with normal ones or not use flickers at all or the too sudden CC changes to B&W or
those green-ish CC's (like in the cutter on the apron)without a proper transition,
given how song doesn't have a real pace change.
Color correction of almost whole video was well chosen but it felt like a more saturated look would be a better suit,
but that's my opinion since I always was more towards saturated looks for happier songs,
I think a color correction should always really be well thought out for the vibe of the song or the overall arena look.
There was some beautiful moments like flashes or lighter crossfades you used,
I was especially a fan of how you synced the Tyler Bate's spinning move,
with those beautiful crossfades (probably my favorite moment of the video).
The twixtor work you had before the font "All I know" was smooth so no complaints,
I was really impressed and glad that you finally showcased some of your good skills in this highlights match.

pain: Another nice video. I just dunno what to say about the song.
I found myself questioning if this was really BMTH because this was much different from usual.
Editing was just there, with some questionable choices like the speed ups,
in which I thought they could have been avoided to be honest,
or that "camera shake" you used to sync impact of the moves,
I would appreciate you more if you did them by yourself instead of just using them for the sake of it,
they would've probably come off a lot better if you gave some tweaking to it.
Sync and pace was solid I liked the cuts between impacts you had going on.
Another thing I wanna point out is the color correction, I don't know man,
while I am a fan of shutters, those were not the right choice for this,
because the tone of the song was not angelical at all,
and man even aesthetically wise they looked too long, longer than our match result LOL.
But for real, this was a fine recap, it was very enjoyable just be more careful with stuff like I pointed you out bro, I don't want to meet you again.

I knew you would get the reference haha, yes since I don't have that highlight anymore I kinda wanted to re-made it just with another match. But yeah song, flickers everywhere, and colors it's pretty much a copypaste from the Rico vs Os highlight.

[Storm]

First of all thank you guys for doing this to me, your "feud" was one of the hottest parts of FMVC for last 2 years and now when sadly PK is leaving editing I really wanted you to face each other and settle it once for all.

PK: Now this was fucking good! First of all song felt so fitting with the match. Whole highlight had that relaxing and fun vibe about it. Loved the pace and black and white crops, really creative effect and honestly I don't think I have ever seen anyone doing something like that. Flickers with inverted colors are such a beauty, I am now pissed that I have never done that before, I loveeeee it so much! I also really like how you used additive dissolve to buld up Bate's spin than just to cut it shortly after, it added a lot depth to the move and that was such a wise way to edit that move. That green color effect was a bit odd but I found repeating a move so you could use that spot as pace change another wise choice, you didn't let the match and song dictate you the pace of the edit but you had it under control. Honestly slower section was my favorite part of the edit, I just loved how you increased the brightness while slowing things down, it added that emotion to every hit. Then after this as song picked up edit picked up too and it felt like a huge pay off and ending worthy of a pretty relaxed build up. Overall this was such a fun highlight, everything flowed so well and sync was on point, all clips had enough space for you to understand what move happened and what was going on after it. My only nitpicks would be green color, some rough angle chances during striking exchange and ending, for ending you should have used that 1 wide shot instead of changing clips so often, it hurt ending for me tbh. But overall fantastic job PK!

Pain: This edit felt like it was focused on Devitt while Ibushi was just there, at first I wondered why and also I found song quite weird. Then it just clicked... I saw that other videos were about Devitt and that you are showing his story, song also made perfect sense. As I watched your videos multiple times during these last few days I found myself singing lyrics of the song and when I connected the dots everything was clear. This was at point of Devitt's career when he failed so many times and didn't know who to trust, this song perfectly described his mindset because he didn't know who to blame for his failures. Editing here was so on point with the song! Loved how you followed the flow of the song and you weren't afraid to really slow things down, but I feel like that was so fitting with the emotion of the match and just showing Devitt's frustration. Oh yeah I also loved the CC, I used that blue CC so many times and taking away color from it when song slowed down was so awesome! Loved jump cuts and invert effect, both were used so well and really added to the edit! All these details that I mentioned just fall into place to create this amazing edit that couldn't get the emotion of the match more right! My only complaint would be video ending being too abrupt but I know how song is so it's really not your fault. Fucking awesome edit pain!

What a first match my boys! Can't wait to leave feedback for 2nd one!

[CHARI]

Storm's dream come true
PK: I had the privilege of being one of the first to see it and I was simply amazed and I think the greatest thing is that every time I see it it feels like the first. I don't remember the Ospreay vs Ricochet so I don't have much idea if it was similar to this but anyway this is an original and fantastic piece, how do you make the colors look so sensual? lol, I could see that you used that text font that if I'm not mistaken you also used in your Naito vs Omega, correct me if it's true but if it is, it was a wonderful reference, a little hidden by the brightness of the lights of the venue but that comes to appreciate.
I could feel the excitement and adrenaline from 2:11 to 2:37 that together with the edition following the voice of the singer and the track was excellent, I loved the inverted effects and you could see how well they fit together, all this is more impressive knowing that You did it in a very short time and it shows what a great editor you are, I give five stars to your PK video.

pain: Well I'm not a big fan or connoisseur of BMTH but this was very sick, I noticed that you also used the negative effects and they turned out very well, just a little darker than PK's, it could mean that you are the dark and PK the light, maybe? Returning to the video, I did not like the quality very much but it is understandable since it is difficult to get NJ material from that time in good condition.
The fast cameras were a bit too much, since the tone in that part of the song was slow and calm, on the other hand the colors seemed nice and soft, although the end was very abrupt and the cut in the song was very noticeable but it was a good video anyway, nice work pain.

Incredible first match, I'm excited to see the other two.

[omzy]

PK: Whole edit was full of emotion to me, i felt the excitement and intensity and it is difficult to convert these from videos so hats off to you. The song was relaxing and that match was a MOTY contender in my eyes.

Pain: Great pacing and good job following the flow of the song, the quality was a bit bad but there nothing we can do there, loved all the effects and cuts, well placed.

[p1]

PK: I love videos with a vibe like this. Just a relaxing video with lighthearted tone and is a joy to watch throughout the entire thing. Pace was consistent through the entire video and it didn't have many peaks or valleys which I liked because it fit the song. One nitpick from me would be overusage of flickers, but that isn't anything major, it just isn't my thing. You did almost every other thing correctly and I really liked the video. Kudos to you, really good job.

pain: First thing I have to say is that this is obviously a Devitt-centric video with Ibushi just having a role of his opponent and I don't know why that's the case. It isn't really a flaw or a feature, it's just a thing that I noticed and it stands out. As a Devitt-centric video, I have to say that it is very well done, with a song that fits this part of Devitt's character arc immaculately and very clean editing throughout the entire video. I really enjoyed it.
