It was very beautiful

I know it takes long In editing selecting scenes addi g sound n then putting scenes in sync but it is so very beautiful.

Loved it too core

Your efforts are worth appreciating

Hello! If you have noticed, I was one of those who 'Liked' your thread earlier but couldn't reply because I didn't get the ample opportunity/"right moment".😒First of all, I would like to address your "confession" that you liked them since Day 1 which made me smile indeed (TBVH) since you're the one who have liked them since inception [and might have therefore "foresaw" them to be a couple in future]. And moreover, they're actually the first couple on TV which I "shipped" wholeheartedly, earlier I was not into love-stories since there was a "flood" of them and only since 2-3 years earlier, I started liking [on-screen] couples but was trapped in [nonsensical] love-triangles.

And now coming to the point, while I did like the VM but since you yourself said it's your first VM, may I kindly point-out some drawbacks?? 🤔 Assuming you won't mind, first of all, while the [recorded] song 'Janam Janam' is not considered as a "loud[-music] song" but somehow it still did felt loud to me, I don't know exactly why but maybe it's due to the volume level [chosen during editing]. 🤔 😳 And also, it would have been better if you haven't included the "extended-cut" of a scene in discotheque where Ria puts on his hand to ask Adi for dance but the moment song changes, Jogi immediately grabs it. Had you immediately cut it there, it would have been better since he is seen uttering something (I know it's: "'DJ Waley Babu' ne me[...]") as I feel somehow it degrades viewer experience. While I've read that you defintely had scarcity of "deserving" scenes* but I can recall very well that there were scenes in the VM where there was no dialgoue/monologue thereafter so you could've made "extended-cut" out of any one of them (to the least) to make a fit for song's stanza. 😊 And hopefully, the pairing between the song's pace and your editing decisions didn't seemed to make a match since you applied a "slow-mo" effect on scenes [which were not in slow-motion already] and the entire slow-motion visuals combined with fast-paced audiotrack/soundtrack seemed awkward to me, at times. 😳 Are you sure you used audio release of that track, na?? And not an audio "carved-out" from music video?? 🤔

Note: I watched the entire video thrice (loaded 2 times), firstly on the day you posted it within [mere] few hours and now, from my own, personal smartphone before "reviewing".😊

*With that being said, I humbly disagree with @lizzie1765's demand for even more lengthy VM unless you feel yourself you've got ample amount/number of "deserving" scenes ("poetically" speaking, whether your "heart" agrees to same or not). But once you do get "green-signal" from all sides [you rely upon/trust], even I would like to watch a few-seconds longer VM.

P.S. I hope you won't mind as my feedback is "so different" than rest of others. Even if construed as "criticism", I can say beyond reasonable doubt that it's "constructive criticism".😊And yes, hoping that you won't create prejudice against me because I'm well aware that you've posted a 2nd VM and I have even watched it but now looking for a "right opportunity" to respond (I promise that it won't be that longer unlike this one, I'm sure!😉😆) And yes, I also do have a word about your DP/profile picture too (no, no! Don't be afraid as it will imply that you've indeed made prejudice in your mind about me and therefore, thinking only from one side [of the coin].😉).😊

Hey. Firstly, thank you so much for taking the time out to comment. I really do appreciate it. 😳

Now, reflecting back on things that you said "degrades the viewer's experience". I'm glad that you actually pin-pointed some key parts that went wrong while editing as this made me watch the VM again, but this time keeping in mind the drawbacks that you've mentioned. And I realised that the VM is far worse than I thought it was.

However, I wish I could say that I'll definitely make sure that all this mistakes won't be repeated next time, but frankly I'm not a good fast learner so cannot promise editing perfectly. Hence, I guess you'll have to bear my not-so-perfect videos 😛 (until and unless you entirely stop watching them which I hope won't be the case 😊). I apologize if you feel that I'm disrespecting your opinion in anyway, which I'm not. I completely agree with whatever is being stated, but it's just that I lack the ability to concentrate on so many different elements when editing. Therefore, I don't want to raise expectations which I won't be able to fulfil as I'm pretty sure that my upcoming VM's will have similar flaws.

Also, I did not mind your "different" response at all, rather I liked the fact that you found the VM, something worth commenting upon. So, once again thank you so much and I hope you will continue to give your feedback. 😃

BTW, when you mentioned that you have a word about my DP'. I was very scared indeed.😆

You[']r[e] Most Welcome! In fact, I do need to Thank You for a detailed reply [even though it essentially didn't answered all of my questions but I guess you might haven't considered them to be a[n] important query/queries so no issues, I respect your discretion].😊

I'm Glad that you agreed with my views [without any apparent "hard-feelings", of course]...!!!😳😊

And given your completely honest response, I'm completely charmed.😳Not self-praising about oneself is really a noble quality, but still I do believe don't underestimate yourself in front of others, specially outside world unless others are praising you to much-extent that you think of not being currently worth it (just my little piece of "advice", or better, say "suggestion" 😉). And even I believe not learning "fast-enough" has its own upside[s], too. Although, this saying must have been "forgotten" (read 'ignored') in today's fast-paced life[style]: "The one who steps steadily, reaches well" or in my rendition: "The one who learns steadily, learns better" (if you haven't heard anything related to these 2 "sayings", then just become aware that I just coined them, maybe inspred by few other [existing] sayings😉). So, no need to worry! I don't want a perfect "product", I just want a better, improved "product". And no, I would like to assure you that I won't stop watching them as far as I don't have [Internet] bandwidths scarcity (which I hope won't be in near future, God Willing) and you don't start creating VMs of more than even 5 minutes in duration/length (which I think, won't be the case with you [as it's a hypothetical scenario]😉).😆And "don't be crazy" (Ria's dialogue 😉), did I looked that much formal/"old-fashioned" by my previous reply, what's in their to get offended about??😕😊And now since you're elaborating your previously-made point, I understand very well! To be very honest, I would like to confess that even I'm not that much familiar with video editing suites, it's just that I'm a "techie" and keep digging for further knowledge. So don't do the mistake of making my image as a "pro" in your mind!!!😛But I just hope that you're not implying that you're also influenced by that cultural thought-process which says "such activities are silly", hunh...??😛🤔 Well, I reiterate, my expectations are not upto the level of "perfection", my expectations are only upto the minimum level of "apparent improvement" (Hint: read my response for your 2nd VM)!😊

"Once Again, You[']r[e] Most Welcome!!!"😆I repeat, I just did it (few hours ago) so kindly visit and check there!😊

Well, for the 3rd time, I wanna refer you to that thread once again, maybe you get surprised by my response!?!😉
