PK - Not gonna lie, this video has been on repeat for the past week. It's such a beautiful video. And it really amazes me how you did this in a really short amount of time, which makes me think about how big of a fan of Angle you are.
I'll start with some of the flaws I thought were in the video. This isn't really bad and I realize it a lot with a bunch of editors, even myself, but do your best to hide the watermarks. Crop them out, or zoom in to where you want the attention to be from a clip. Another problem I had was with the audio. It's also a problem a lot of editors have, and that's ending voice overs abruptly. Add a fade at the end of the audio to make it sound smooth. Last problem I had with this video was with the text in beginning. Your text has always been incredible, but I felt like text didn't go to well with the start.
Also, I told P1 this in a different competition about cinematic bars being used right. I realized that you're inserting the bars instead of fixing the settings of your media to match the aspect ratio you're aiming for. Doing it the way you're doing it now will make the video smaller in bigger platforms. I suggest changing your setting instead - you can follow this tutorial
There's more tutorials if this wasn't helpful - just search on YT "how to do cinematic bars right?"
Now let me rant about how much I love this video. I really do think that this might just be the best video in Fight Club, and one of the best videos of the year. This video shows how much you've improved. You've worked on removing cut scenes, which was a big problem you had. The structure in this is outstanding! The first part is meant to show a connection between his last run in WWE and some of his past career moments. And the last part shows a recap of his early days mixed with his real life, which makes the ending even more sappy. I don't think I can stress how much I love that last minute. The clips you picked go so freaking well with the melody of the songs. The clips you chose made if feel cinematic, I thought I was watching a film for a sec. Especially those clips with the great camera angles that were in slow mo.
Really nice outro too!

P1 - Now this, this video brought tears to my eyes lol. Don't know if this is your best work, I still prefer New Era a bit more. But this video was amazing! I noticed how you fixed the bars (something I mentioned PK to start doing). Love how the main color of your video was just black and white. I'm guessing it was to show some of the dark moments and obstacles Naito went through. And then the color parts were to show his success in overcoming them. TBH, there's not many flaws at all with this video. You're starting to really perfect your editing skills. I guess the only big problem I had was you using Fast Car lol. Can't believe you used the song me and PK used for our tag video lol. If you win this match, I'm making PK join me to face you in a handicapped steel cage match lol. There were some parts of the audio that I felt didn't really belong in the video, or were placed randomly. Before starting a video I recommend first trying to find the best places to put voice overs in the song.
Btw, how did you find so much good media for Naito. I've actually been looking to find some footage from him from like 2012 - 2015. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough hehe.
Just like PK tho, the last minute was insanely emotional. And the quote at the end was touching.

This was MOTY! And it's my favorite match from FMVC so far. Congrats to the both of you. You're both winners!

[[pain]]

Great videos, MOTYC, high five, you suck, bla bla bla. No one should take the title from PK unless it is me, so my vote is for PK

[p1]

Wait, you two used Fast Car? I have completely missed it. Nevermind, better luck next time I guess.

PK, I think you did a really great job in capturing the emotion especially during the first part, but the ending too. Editing had some flaws, like some sync fails, but those are minor things which don't take away a lot. I liked the coloring effect a lot. Flashbacks to matches with Shane, Trips, Cena, AJ and Joe were awesome. All in all, I think this was a great tribute to Kurt's legendary career. It was a pleasure competing with you, champ!

PK - Good job, really liked the song choices as they had nice matching lyrics and Kurt Angle is one of my favorite wrestlers from back in the day so it was really nice seeing someone do one for him. I don't have much complains, besides the fact that a lot of clips you used were quite repeated, and that IMO added no story to the video whatsoever, and also editing wise it could have went smoother, I felt the effect were pretty good but vulgar and syncing wasn't exactly the best. Other than that I really liked the video, some interactions were smooth like the Triple H part, and I thought the CC's were beautiful. Also voiceovers were damn nice, story wise it was good and yeah, good work, keep it up!

P1 - I still am amazed by this man, I really am. I absolutely loved this MV. I don't think there are flaws, maybe besides the duration of the video and that is something that doesn't bother me tbh, I thought CC changes were very good, syncing was damn good for the song, the story was so well told, the voiceovers with Naito were flawless IMO, it must've been hard to do translate and everything so props to you man and obviously amazing song choice, this was really awesome!

My vote goes to P1.
