Bany vs. Basium
Tbh none of you really made a good retro feeling, so I'm just gonna comment on the editing.
Bany: The intro was kinda cool, but you could've done something more to make the shift of the songs merge with the feel of the said song, like changing cc's or something. The angles were pretty bad, as they didn't seem to have any focus, they were really random & a bit choppy. The cc didn't fit at all, you put dull, uninteresting colors on a bright, attractive song, so the feel was really ruined. I have no idea why you didn't cut the song... that was really unnecessary.
Basium: Your angles were pretty good, they were well-focused, but a little choppy, some of the clips seemed sped up, which didn't really look that good. The effects were nice, tho you used tv simulator way too much & the art beats didn't fit at all imo, you could've at least desaturated & color balanced them to blend in with the colors. Otherwise the sync was pretty good & the colors were somewhat fitting to the atmosphere of the song.
Try not to add effect on every beat you hear, sort them out & put effects were they are really needed.
My vote goes to Basium.
Cloudwalker vs Mxz
CW: Great angles as always, the reflection thingy on the bottom looked really good, clever idea. The first half of the vid didn't really seem all that aggressive, I suppose you were trying to build up for that, but in order to do that, you should've started from a less aggressive part of the song. The second half was pretty much pumped up & fit very well with the song, tho I gotta say that the radial blur didn't work for this. The sync was great as well.
Mxz: That was awesome. Really liked the freeplay angle on the first clip, some text there would've made for a really great intro. The usage of effects on the first stunt was overkill tho, some of them were synced to really unsyncable parts of the song, making them seem off-synced. Other than that, I really loved this entry, the angles were really good & the cc fits perfectly with the song. The effects, apart from the last tv simulator, which didn't really fit imo, were really good in a way that they fit really nice with the song & give the pump-up feel, so gj on that objective.
My vote goes to Mxz.
Mustapha vs. Whitey
Mustapha: Your edit was really awesome, loved the color effects & the sync, tho the mood change was too slight & didn't really feel like it. What I didn't like was the ripple effects & the way too diffused cc, especially on the first part, where it didn't fit at all with the pace of the editing. The angles were pretty good as well, so, keep it up, really enjoyed this one.
Whitey: To start off, the cc was really awesome, love the realistic touch to it. The first part was really great & fit with the song really nicely, tho it could've been a little longer, the 2nd part really could've used a slightly different CC & more motion creating effects, the flickering was really out of place & didn't seem to have any intended sync or metric value (in terms of accenting the heavier beats & keeping tact order in mind). Even tho musties edit, imo, was way better, the change of feel in yours was more noticable, if not blatant (lol j/k, but you could've done it more subtlety instead of just a black screen & a song change).
Tough decision, but taking the objective in consideration, my vote has to go to White, as his shift was more noticable & contrasting.
