Natalya's is up after hard work and trying to upload it. You'd think that these videos centered around the characters would actually feature them in their YouTube preview screens right? Wrong. The preview screens tend to like Bond in them (see Zorin's, Goldfinger's and now Natalya's) or feature the character in small detail (Bibi's, Kristatos's, Largo's, sort of Fatima's)
The only one's with good previews are Domino's, Fatima's, Melina's, and Jenny's.
But anyway, here is Natalya's done to "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks.
1. Max Largo (Looks good in execution, but the song choice made it fall flat)
2. Bibi Dahl (felt very rushed after seeing it again, my least favorite but still has merits)
Anyone else care to rank them? Give constructive criticism, I really REALLY want to know how I did.
Now that the Ultimate Editions are coming up I may have a few more compositions left in me! And it turns out my most popular one to date has been my Xenia one. Cheers all!

I just finished watching all your compositions JFF, here's what I thought:
The Good:
You picked a lot of great songs that were very fitting to the characters and you used clips which followed the lyrics very nicely.
You made great use of transitions, slowing and speeding effects, and color changing.
Most of the compositions ended with a grand finally moment. {[]
The Bad:
Some of the scenes you used dragged on forever causing me to lose interest. The lack of audible dialogue was a hinderance to the enjoyment as well. We see all these people moving their lips but they aren't saying anything.
My favorite:
Oddjob's Composition: "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" was a great song choice as Oddjob functions mainly as a killer. The composition follows the lyrics amazingly. Finally, it ends with a bang, literally.
Honorable Mentions:
Aris Kristatos Composition: "Karma Cameleon" is a fitting song for Kristatos as he is perceived as an ally for most of the film until he is revealed as a baddie. The color changing effects emphasize this idea of being "a cameleon," or having more than one identity. I did get tired of seeing Kristatos die however. )
Natalya's Composition: Fit the lyrics extremely well. I like how the scene changed as the lyrics branded Natalya a "bitch," "lover," "sinner," "saint," etc. all fitting the appropriate description.
My Least Favorite:
Max Zorin's Compostion: The longest of the lot and quite dragged out IMO. There were some lengthy clips used and without any dialogue it made this composition tiring to watch. On a positive note, "Taking Care of Business" was a good song choice.
All in all they were very enjoyable. You obviously put some hard work into them and it paid off! {[]

Any song for Xenia Onatopp? Wild Thing seems a bit cliched but should I use it for her anyway? Does anyone have a better suggestion?

I hope you like this one as much as the others. Maybe I'll get the mods to start a poll on the favorite composition!
Does anyone have a particular favorite? I can rank my favorite five and my least favorite three (with the other eight being in between).
1. Oddjob
2. Melina Havelock
3. Natalya Simonova
4. Fatima Blush
5. Max Zorin
