Hot N’ Cold [Amuto] [Shugo Chara AMV]

There are always a good AMV and bad AMV. You will see that even more if you use an anime that is considered popular. If someone makes an AMV well and uses a popular anime series, I always get intrigued on how good it will be. The song Hot N’ Cold makes a great complement for Amu and Ikuto thanks to their own personality traits. A well synced video like this is even better.

A think that I like is using the flashing red & blue effects during the chorus and the occasional black and white effect (like in 0:42). The creative use of that helps complement the chorus part even if the footage does not work as well. I also like the creative use of the character transformation footage at 1:02. I have seen many videos that try to use that and I felt it didn’t match.
The effect does have a disadvantage. When watching the AMV on High Quality mode, I think the effect is a bit too much in some areas (1:00). If a video blinds you like that, especially if you have a very bright screen, it can be painful. The author said that the video was bit dark in some areas, but I think the AMV is bright from start to end. I do see what the creator means around 1:42.
Overall, I think this is one of the better videos for any Amu and Ikuto fans. I don’t think it is the best video but nice to watch when I am bored. If anyone needs to watch a video featuring Amu & Ikuto, I would show them this one. Good work.
