Undisputed

[riot]

Icon : Nice MV, the good ol Ciampa/Gargano story, Cool editing, cc looked familiar, nice but really familiar, your cutting is still a bit off and fast which imo takes away from the video.


Pain: One of my favorite songs/favorite wrestling stories...damn... great MV, editing was clean and smooth, for anyone who didn't know the story it could've been easy to find out from the video.

My Vote goessss tooooooooo
*drum rolllll*
Pain!!

[pk]

Pain: This is one of those cases where just by choosing the correct song, the mv will be something special and you nailed it. Probably the best song choice of this Comp. I wasn't a fan of the CC and as a person who just loves the color corrections it was something important to me, I thought you could use something more dramatic that fitted the story better instead of that over-exposed yellow MBL type. Aside from that, it was a great edit, I'm a sucker for this storyline, in general, the Whole Starr/Walter/Devlin stuff. And even though as someone already said it explains the story perfectly for the people who are not familiar with it, you could have used the video packages of the matches, maybe some voice overs or something with more intensity for the big payoff match. At the end I enjoyed the video a lot and it was probably one of the best of this round.

Undisputed who is not Undisputed anymore: I love you man, and the mv is great I truly like it but man...There is a lot of Ciampa MV's, Ciampa vs Gargano Stuff, etc, at least it wasn't a BMTH song with a super intense MBL correction. There were some things that were not really smooth, also some cuts try to make them longer 'cus sometimes I couldn't see what was going on. It happens to me all the time tho...Besides that, This was something really good you are improving fast and I could see you doing great stuff in the future.

Pain: Good video, you managed to perfectly show the rivalry of WALTER and Devlin and that's the important thing, in editing it's not a big deal but it does not mean it's bad, the song charmed me and I'll forget the conflict we had, keep it up.

Undisputed: I liked it but I expected something more, although I did not know what this match would be like so I think you had little time to think about something better even though it is very good work.

[Arguden]

Pain: I really loved your idea. Plus your editing was pretty good in this one. Great job!

Undisputed: Did you improve? Yes, at least this video was better than your last one

[soulfrostx1]

Pain: Not bad, the editing was not bad, I did not like the CC since it's a basic MBL filter. The story behind was not bad nothing too out of the ordinary.

Undisputed: I don't know, the CC was very cool, definetely the best part of the video. The rest was not that good, the synch was just messed up and the effects were over-used randomly. I told you many times to try and edit a clean video with not many effects but I don't think you want to improve and the result is showing it.

[Storm]

Pain: It was a quite nice surprise to see that you are in the competition! I really liked your video and IMO you perfectly captured the emotion of the story and it was quite easy to follow and understand. Editing was so clean and smooth while song choice was really fitting for it. Overall amazing job!

Undisputed: I was really confused what you tried to show in that video tbh. I thought it is going to be freestyle mv but it was following mostly Gargano vs Ciampa stuff and a couple of his other matches. It was really out of place and it had no clear direction, it feels like you tried to do one thing then suddenly shifted it. Editing was alright, sync could have been better and as always moves cuts could have been better, you still know to make moves cuts too short. Song choice was nice but it didn't really fit Ciampa IMO, it was too emotional for someone who is a cold heel. By far the best part of the video was the CC, it was really good and I like it. Overall it was one of your best works but there is space to improve.

[dead sarcastic]

Pain: Thank god someone did a recap of this beautiful rivalry. I'm sure that someone's done it before, but I doubt it's this good. Even tho you may act rude and obnoxious at times, I have to admit that you editing skills are great! Also your topic/subject choices are pretty creative.
When I first watched this, I honestly thought it was just going to be a highlight of one of their matches only for some reason. So I got a bit excited as the MV kept going. Your structure is like really fucking good. It's almost as if set a match to go with a specific part of the song, which made the flow of the video so smooth and easy to follow. Would have loved to see a bit more of Devlin and Starr's friendship, but then again it's not really a video about them. Their friendship is just like a sub story of the Devlin and Walter rivalry, so kudos for not making a big thing about the friendship. I feel like your goal was to just pay attention specifically to Devlin being an underdog, and finally overcoming Walter.

Undisputed: To be honest I feel like this was somewhat an improvement to your last video. You're starting to understand ways that you can add effects, and make them match the part of the song in which you use them in. And you kind of got the whole structure thing going on, but it's very messy. I don't blame you tho, you're still a beginner. But when it comes to these types of videos, where you're showcasing a wrestlers dominance with match recaps in the video you should always try to give each match recap the same amount of time. I noticed how the Ciampa-Gargano matches lasted for almost half of the video, while the rest of Ciampas matches only lasted like 10 seconds and below. So make sure that they get just as much time as the other matches do. Especially when you still have more time to cover those matches properly, since I'm pretty sure that the song didn't end where the video stopped. Also, make sure to always take out cutscenes. Soulfrost mentioned this in my AJ Lee section, because WWE is just awful at camera work, and at times editors get lazy when trying to find perfect clips for specific sequences and moves. However, there are too many cutscenes in your video, so try to work on taking them out, and instead using some of the replays. It's fine tho if you were to leave two cutscenes, but even at times that's too much, because they don't look attractive. Remember to learn and take the feedback editors give you. We're always here to help. Good job tho. I can see that you're doing your best to improve!

Pain: I'm really surprised by this one. You captured the emotion in a great way and the song choice is one of the best in this competition in my opinion. Your best work up to this point.

Undisputed Icon AJ: Yeah I think it's one of your best works, but it also has many flaws. Cutting was a mess like most of the time, sync wasn't that good and the song didn't really fit Ciampa's character. Overall an ok video but it needs a lot of improvement.

I vote for Pain.

Pain - Good syncing (one times it specifically stands out in the David Starr photos). Really smooth and good at 3:53. The lighting and effects really worked well together at the David Starr entrance brawl. The black flashes at were really well placed.

Undisputed - Really good transitions. The flashes we're good. The ending felt kinda abrupt. I think you could of maybe showed more of Ciampa winning the NXT Champion. I liked the pinkish/redish outline glow you had.
