Reed

Reed: Fantastic and smooth edition, this video has a very calm rhythm which I like since the Golden Lovers transmit that serenity, I liked the colors you used and the choice of song, the good thing about you is that each video has something different but at the same time something in common with the previous one is weird haha, great video.

Soul: Good video but unfortunately today I come to hate the song of True Friends in a DIY video is already too repetitive, I think you have to open more to new ideas and ways to edit since you are very good at this, good work.

[Arguden]

Soulfrost: "True Friends and a DIY video... cliche" Yeah it may be cliche a little, but you can't deny the fact that Soulfrost is a master in editing, he just keeps getting better every single day. Plus I really loved the fact that he used the music video's audio instead of the album version. This one was really amazing man, one of the best music videos I have ever seen for sure.

Reed: I'm a fan of your work for years now, I really love your content. This one was a really cool one, you recapped their story in a really good way. Awesome work overall!

[CHARI]

Reed: In MVZ I already gave my opinion about this video and it was great, I share what Pain said the rhythm of the video transmits relaxation, I like the color changes and that the clips are not randomly placed.

Soulfrost: I liked the video a lot, I did not like the song choices so much but you know how to do a great job, I think that the Ciampa and Gargano videos are already very worn but I liked it anyway.

[Storm]

Reed: Really relaxing and fun video, I love how smooth it is! CC is great and alongside the song it just gives a different but really calming and nice feel to the video! Editing was really smooth and clean, I really have no complaints there. My biggest complaint would be that you did not include their first match, without it their story just feels incomplete and it feels like something is lacking. But anyway that was one fantastic video!

Soulfrost: I agree like everyone here said it's kinda a cliche now to use True Friends and DIY in a video but editing was just fantastic! You have really impressed me and this is by far the best DIY mv I have seen yet, editing was really well done and sync was on point! I really love how you played with the song and video overall was a really great experience, you told story perfectly!

[riot]

Reed : Really liked this one, it was really calming and chill and even gave me a new song to listen to for a good while, like Storm said, if it was the G.L story it should've had the first match in it too, still liked it, along with the cc.
Overall amazing video!


Soul : ...ofc like everyone said it kinda was a cliche using True Friends but it was still amazing as always, story was showcased well from beginning to end, cc was nice, really liked how you used the lyrics from the lyric video as well as the backhground "Follow You" from the music video. Awesome video!

[p1]

Soulfrost: As everyone else said, it's a bit of a cliché to use True Friends in a Gargano/Ciampa MV. But except that, I can't really find any mistakes in this video. The story was amazingly told, sync was on point and I liked the CC a lot. Fantastic work overall, you are improving with every single competition. Keep it up my man!

Reed/HTW: Also a great video, I liked the editing style a lot, it went smooth af, the song is really good and it fits the story of the Lovers well. You should've included their first match tho, but a great job nonetheless.

I vote for Soulfrost.

Soul: Easily one of the best videos you've done on this board. You've gotten a lot more creative editing wise. I popped for that eye transition you did. That looked so smooth and perfectly executed. Also loved the way you included lyrics into one of the parts of the video. That was some good ass text. There's not many flaws, but I do have some concerns for when you edit in the future. One of the concerns is when you speed up or slow down clips. I am also guilty of this, and so are many other editors, but it's not necessary to speed up clips and then slowing them down. It does give it a bit of a cinematic feel to it. However it gets annoying, and most of the time it doesn't look too great. Especially when you do it many times throughout the whole video. Not saying it looked awful in this video, because it didn't, but it did get a bit annoying. Try to experiment more on other techniques when editing. Try to innovate just like you did in your tag video.
As far as your storytelling goes, it's pretty great! Easy to follow through their story, and I enjoyed how you would stop the song at certain points. Overall this was really amazing for someone who started a little bit more than a year ago. You didn't disappoint going up against someone like Reed.

Reed: It kind of sucks how you brought an MVZone vid to this competition. I do wish that you brought something new; regardless I don't mind seeing this again. It's a beautiful vid and probably one of your best works. My favorite video of yours is still Team tho.
Can't really say much since I basically wrote a whole essay when I feedbacked your video a month ago lol. I still enjoy that black and white CC. As always tho you CC is top notch. Love this video a lot!

Soul: I loved the fact that you embraced the BTMH with Gargano vs Ciampa Cliché, I mean, you could make a top 5 of videos OF BMTH/DIY Videos, still this felt so fresh cus the editing was, the way you handled and told the story using the same song but with different ways of editing was great, Even though the Main Idea is not that original, your editing was and at the end of the day That is what matters, Congrats on the video.

HTW: The video felts so chill vibe and makes you just lay down and relax for a moment, You captured the Golden Lovers' aura perfectly, You told like a different approach to the story, by just focusing on the story of two of their most significant matches and I appreciate that I didn't have to sit through another whole Golden Lovers' Story MV.

Apparently I can't vote in the polls anymore so...Soulfrost takes this one for me

Soulfrost - Really good transitions and use of grayscale at 1:10. Really, really creative zoom out at 2:03. The slow downs and transitions were well placed. The grayscale was well used. Good showcasing of emotions (Specifically in the Philadelphia match). Good corelating of the promos and the footage.

HTW - I think this is a unique concept. Something that really stuck out to me when watching this is the color and the way the footage was placed effect. I really like it and thought it contrasted well with the grayscale.

[undisputed]

SoulFrost: I loved it, as i do all of your videos, but i dont know i feel like the song is overused for this feud, but the overall video threw that away, the cc was beautiful, loved the emotion in this and you told the story so well. The effects were just so fitting, amazing work

HTW: God this was emotional, that cc tho, great job, the song fit so well and got me a bit i have to admit haha, loved the spotlight on the video aswell, the editing was amazing as usual, but sometimes in the video it didnt go with me if im making sense, but overall wow.

My vote goes to Soul!
