    Every week, I scour the video portal's latest submissions and pick my top five favorites. Just because you don't make it into the top five does not mean that you're video wasn't good. We just have so many good videos that they're hard to choose from!

    Woo, I'm getting closer to being up to date. Sorry for the delays everyone.

    This Week's Winner: xDeviXane. | View Video
    Song: Haunted by Evanescence

    A really eerie video here, and the flow and timing really suited the mood, everything just worked, I have no real big criticisms with it. Congrats

    Song: The Walk by Imogen Heap

    Another good video from angelsinflight14, though I will say this now, don't abuse the glow effect, it was great in your other video, but it does get old after a while, and there were some lip syncing issues, but beyond that great.

    Song: Until the End by Breaking Benjamin

    A great video, with great timing and flow (thought there was some questionable timing at the beginning 5 seconds) but I really enjoyed it, but the reason it didn't get any higher was because I felt there was no real story going on, you connected to the lyrics but no overall story, this is always a hard issue when you use multiple games that don't connect much to each other, but great other than that.

    Song: Far Awayby Nickelback

    A good emotional video, good flow and generally enjoyable, but nothing original. But it still doesn't stop the fact you did a good job.

    Song: When I'm Gone by Simple Plan

    A good video, can't complain about the timing and flow, but my only problem was you choice of clips for the most part it was good, but during the more upbeat parts you lacked scenes that could match it, you had some action scenes from Deep Dive but beyond that some of your scene selection was uneventful. But great job beyond that.

    Now for the Special Mentions:

    Submitted By: khfreak87 | View Video
    Song: Papercut by Linkin Park

    I'm not sure how this got approved into the User Portal (looks at CTR) but it's too late for that now, so it gets a special mention, simply because it's khfreak not doing kingdom hearts, that in itself deserves a round of applause. =P But the video was well made, debatable song choice but it worked. Good choice.

    Submitted By: Babbitrules | View Video
    Song: The Dark Knight Trailer

    Almost made it into the top 5, if it wasn't for some syncing issues which is vital for this sort of video. But it deserves a mention.

    Hope you enjoy them all, and keep submitting! Maybe your video will show up here next time!

    Awesome choices. I didn't particularly like number 1. Don't get me wrong, great song choice and great effects but it just seems a little weird to me somehow. But hey, I'm not the one who makes the choices. And Darkandroid, Imogen Heap is the band not the name of the song. It's mixed up.

    LYK WOA, I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING. : D But I am happy. xD I know I probably abused the glow effect; my friend that I made it for just commented in an e-mail about how much she liked it in my other one, so I felt like repeating it for this present for her.

    :3 Congrats to all the other winners!

    If used properly Vegas is superior to WMM for obvious reasons, but I don't rule at WMM at all. One week I did a WMM video was number 1. I know videos were a WMM one is better than some vegas ones.

    That's mostly now amvs go.More into effects than transitions or using the right clips. I have my own style,everyone have their own way to make amvs,but mostly it's by effect that takes the cake. I don't really care about effects but I care more about rhythm,beat,and lyric.

    Good to see someone else who feels that way. Effects are important, but it shouldn't be your main objective.
