pain: This might be my favorite recap video of yours so far. I'm assuming that the next video is going to follow the same theme/subject as this and the last one. Which is pretty cool to see that all three videos are connected to one another.
This has some of the same effects seen in the first video such as the dark negative effect and the streak shutters. And the CC looks to be the same as well. I find it crazy how you were able to use the same effects and capture the same ambience/mood of the first video regardless of the song. This song is more rock based than the last one, but all the same effects you used works just as good in this.
It seems like you're recapping Devitts last memorable matches before he got to WWE. Also, it seems to take a look at his sportsmanship regardless of the "demon" phase he was in during that time.
Editing wise, this is the best editing I've seen from you. Although I felt like you could have made this recap a bit shorter, the video went by fast and I enjoyed it a lot!
PK: I've watched this numerous times since it was uploaded on the channel. It's such a old school PK type of video. Just like most of your choice of music, it sounds so happy and warm. They really bring out a lot of emotions. Although, the subject choice in your video, which is mainly about Eddie, is already a tearjerker.
Like always, the CC looks astonishing. You should release a pack of LUTs dammit! And the effects throughout the video weren't as flashy as the last one, but they do the job at making the recap a bit more fun. Really loved the black and white/film effect look. And mixed with freeze frames, it looks even better!
And jeez, that voice over about Eddie really did a good job in making this video more emotional.
Dont know the duration of this match, I'm assuming it ain't long, but you did a great job at recapping a lot of the small moves in the match. And even if the video was short, I was left satisfied.
This 3 stages of Highlights keeps getting better and better. So excited to see the final match!

Second fall: "Pain's revenge"
Pain: It's very even here, but Pain's video was my favorite, a good song choice and a very good editing
PK: Your video was pretty good, a solid and clean edit, I liked it
quite even this match, but this fall is taken by Pain

PK: So, this was my favorite from you by far, not only because of the editing itself, but because you chose a great song and really damn good match between two of the best ever. The color correction was really done, it fit the match, the tone of the lyrics so yeah kudos. I liked how you switched to that sapphire film damage b&w fx it was smooth. Pace and sync were good, cuts were sharp, loved the voiceover before the Suicide Dive it added that much to the video and the "day I diE" lyric hit me.
With this I don't have much to complain maybe to critique maybe like I said in your Tyler vs Devlin video which is to transition the clips with cross dissolves or fades because the ediiting go through much smoother but other than that I thought this ruled. You did the match justice it deserved since it's an overlooked one, it's nice that you were able to get this match in great quality to edit. pain: This was an ok watch. Although I still think you need to tone down on the color correction and not only that some of the flashbakes in the middle of the video felt out of place even though it was about Devitt's BC run. This was decently edited, some slow mos were weird to look at and it certainly didn't match the pace of the song. It can get annoying when I know exactly where you are gonna place them, you need to work on getting better and timing them. The quality of the video was quite choppy, but I understand it's not that easy to find the match online so it's not on top of the priorities. I don't think overall this was bad because it wasn't, but I definetely recommend you to clean up your videos a lot more before uploading them to comps. The choice of song this time was quite cool and helped my enjoyment of the video. |

Time for 2nd match!!!!
Pain: BMTH again? Interesting. This song didn't work for me as much because you know how overused BMTH is, tho I still understand why you used it. This was last part of Devitt's chapter in NJPW and facing the same person who he became known with now when he is a broken and different man. This video had similar look like the first one but honestly it just didn't feel the same, because of the song and editing style that comes with it, it felt much more generic than something special. By the structure I can see that you were going for Devitt's internal struggle, timing and flashbacks all were done in a perfect way like "now it's too late to turn back" moment but match lacked. I feel like your focus on the song and Devitt in this video instead of elevating it hurt the match and it feels like everything passes by without highs and lows. Overall it's a pretty solid highlight, I just prefer the first one.
PK: Now this was so charming! I just love how different your videos are from usual highlights because of your song choices and approach! Loved the introduction effect, it's so beautiful! This old school feeling of highlight was just so fantastic, especially that low framerate effect which looks like it was ripped right from old movies! Video felt like a fun battle between 2 amazing wrestlers and also best friends, it was just a really enjoyable watch. Flow of the video is a bit slower which I really appreicate because everything had place to be shown and nothing went by too fast. Voice over was such an emotional moment because you can feel how close they were and how much they loved each other while you can see their battle in the background. What a beautiful video, just wow! Honestly this is my favorite video by you, I had such a fun time watching it that I rewatched this many times!
Another great battle by you two! Final match is going to be intense for me!

Another great battle (I reviewed these in the wrong order but it is what it is)
Pain: I still think the cc needs to be slightly toned down and overall the videos quality needs to be cleaned up, beside that this was another good edition to the Balor/Devitt story you have going on
PK: Song choice and sync was top notch as usual. I enjoyed the voiceover and the overall slow tempo, well done to both!

PK: This is getting insane, without a doubt this edit is very interesting and I have many things to highlight.
First of all this felt very relaxing but without losing that climax of the match, calm songs are your specialty, I loved how you used the black and white effect in those small parts with those interferences (I can't remember the word) and finally I It seemed like a little nod to something you're doing lol.
It took me time to capture the audio of Eddie that you put in the background, but it is not your fault, I have problems with my computer and I listen very low through the speakers, another beautiful video that makes it very clear that you are the undisputed winner of the match. Wonderful second video PK.
Pain: I'll be honest with you, this is probably the most decent of the three, not many people make highlights of this fight and I understand that it is a trilogy telling the story of Devitt's last moments in NJPW, but I felt like some flashbacks were randomly put on, anyway it was entertaining but it didn't live up to nor does it meet expectations, which is a bit strange since you wanted the match against PK and it didn't seem like you're giving your full potential it was still entertaining to watch and you can get better with time.

PK: This video screams classic PK to me, and it's a great thing. Once again, I am a mark for videos with a vibe and tone like this, and that is brought up to eleven with the song that is awesome and the match between two of the all-time greats. Effects were very well placed and weren't overused in my opinion, and while the video had relaxing tone, it also had touching moments because of the voiceover you included and it really did the job of transferring the emotion well. Awesome job.
pain: Ah, now I see that you have decided to make this a Devitt trilogy of highlights, in which case making the first video Devitt-centric makes perfect thematic sense. This highlight was similar to the first one in many ways, but for my money, the first one was better. While focusing on Devitt made sense, I felt like it undermined the match and Taguchi a bit too much. You could've balanced those two things a little bit better in my opinion. Flashbacks were very well timed and it might be my favorite part of the video. Really good, but not as good as the first one.
