[Dr Mindbender]

up until about 1.46 you were starting to worry me! :blink: :rolleyes:

[Tower of Bebel]

The subtile transition is quite good :D .

[Jude]

Great slideshow!

some of the transitions were just perfect, but i think it would have been better if it was a wee bit shorter... ignorant blind patriots don't have long attention spans, remember?

but seriously, great idea, and great delivery...

[TheDifferenceEngine]

"Removed by user"

Youtube is really starting to scare me.

[RedAnarchist]

It was quite good, but how come you removed it?

[Red Menace]

apologies, i had to fix something on there.
i put it back up

thats my point though. that underneath all of the bullshit that people say is so great about america, you have all of this going on, nationalism, poverty, hunger, greed, drug abuse, war, etc..

Take the following as constructive criticism:

The video took too long to reach the 'biting parts' to show the hypocritcy and the truth of what America is about.

I had to sit through 1 minutes 40 of people waving flags, smiling soldiers etc before a pertinent message came through. The effect would have been better, in my opinion, if you had chose say, 4 or 5 pictures, focused on them slowly, and then launched a barrage of 'propaganda.'

Combined with the ironic title 'American Tribute' the sarcasm would have been lost on most: patriots would probably have thought it was simply an attack on GWB or would have lost the sarcasm altogether, and leftists would have been thinking 'wtf' up until the 1:40.

But overall, it was okay.

if the music had switched to 'death metal' or something a bit more 'in your face' I think the message would have been much starker (IMHO ;) )

i see.
thank you for your advice. i have a few other videos in the works, and when i started i always tried to somewhat choreograph it with the music, because thats something that always pissed me off with other videos i've seen on youtube, and i guess i was trying to do that with this one, and it took a while in the song for their to be a transition, but yeah i understand why you might think it took to long to get to the point, and i will probably end up changing it

thank you

I think you should cut to the bullshit part of America sooner. Not many people will be patient enough to watch it all, and will leave comments like "YEAH! AMERICA! FUCK YOU MIDDLE EAST!"
