​

Hello there KH-Vidians. Mixt here as a first time Top 5 host. And what a week it was. I'm always impressed at what our editors can do, and this week was not an easy pick. We ran the gambit from upbeat and flashy to slow and pensive.

This Week's Judge(s): Mixt

1. LOVE N' BACK;; COLLAB [TaraXDD & Starlight2011studios]

LOVE N' BACK;; COLLAB [TaraXDD & Starlight2011studios]

Submitted by: starlight2011studios
Song: To Love And Back by This Century
Details: A nicely done collab where both parties melded together very well. It would have been nice to see some video softening to mask the aliasing (particularly on zoomed shots), but that is easier said than done without just making it blurry.

2. Ocean Avenue
Submitted by: sonicfan23
Song: Ocean Avenue by Yellowcard
Details: A rather overused song in the AMV world, but this video did a very nice job with it. There were a few points where it felt to me like the video's flow was out pacing the song's, but the lyric matching and beat matching were very well done. Plus it managed to cover a wide array of story angles and tie them all together without feeling too much like it was jumping around. I would mostly say to tone the effects down a bit as there is a fine line between pretty and distracting.

3. Home
Submitted by: minicoop55
Song: Home by Green River Ordinance
Details: A very fitting song to the KH series. The flow was a nice match and there was a nice consistent tone. However I would have liked to see more variety in the clips, and the flash effects often seemed too frequent and strong especially on the black.

4. ＨＵＭＡＮ
Submitted by:starlight2011studios
Song: Flowers For A Ghost by Thriving Ivory (with dialogue from Teen Wolf)
Details: A very serious video to tug at your heartstrings, and some of the better audio editing I've seen in awhile. Unfortunately the clips seemed to mostly be there to match tone and not meaning. And despite the text being minimalistic it's placement and constant presence made it hard to not just read through the video.

5. KH-Come and get it(SoraxVentusxRoxas)
Submitted by: benjizz
Song: Come & Get It by Krewella
Details: This video had some nice effects, and good beat matching. There were just two issues I found that stopped it from being higher on the list. First is that the video was too short focus on three characters, and thus there didn't seem to be much meaning behind it. Second, some of the effects seemed hastily added and ended up breaking flow more than adding emphasis.
