+100.
Also, if anyone's still unaware, they've announced a new touhou fighting game at the last comiket (14.5). It's more akin to what 12.3 is to 10.5 than an actual new game, but still quite exciting nonetheless.

I'm Revvie, and I'm just your average, unnotable anime fan. Been watching anime since I was a kid and will probably continue to do so for quite a while. Pleased to meet you.
I think what's most important would be the theme/story you want your mv to convey.
Like for example if it's about friendship, then all your shots chosen would be based on that. Your song choice and how you cut or time your shots would all be according to the mood and story you want your audience to experience.
Next, the good thing about music videos is that it doesn't have to make sense 100% of the time. So it's good to experiment what works and what doesn't even if it's not exactly logical.
I've made one before on Sony Vegas. There are lots of tutorials around the web for special effects and timing tricks so if you can gather up alot of them, your skills can easily improve. The hardest part is picking a good song; IMO.
