Agh I hate spam attacks...

Anyways you like them unreleased Venom clips huh? You think your special or something VC? yea you do.

Firstly, why can't you finish this mix? Because theres too many Boston mixes now? Sorry that's not a good enough excuse. You cannot drop such an exciting promo and just quit.

On to the mix itself. I thought the clip selection was fantastic, and even better, was their execution. I love how you held back on the action. Like oh here's kobe going for a dunk, but you cut it right before he does, and fade to an emotional clip. Just a fantastic idea. It really keeps viewers gripping and waiting, you in an essence control them. I liked how the audio synced so well with action on screen. Like the slow red flame burning upwards is synced with a grungy type sound. The overall music was rather emotional and I liked it, perfect for a promo. One other thing I liked was "the finals" mask intro think, that was cool.

As for things to fix, the text is a little too simple. I mean, I'm cool with simple but atleast give it a drop shadow so I can read it. No need to get fancy, just a shadow. And those watermarks are a *****. That's why I hate HD, it's already in widescreen so you cant crop to hit them. Maybe try editing at anamorphic 2.35 to hide them, or try to erase them I did in my last mix.

Either way tho, I really enjoyed it. Now go finish what you started.
