  • OMG THIS IS FANTASTIC. I had to wait until the end to comment because I had too many emotions.

  • Did you get the audio from another video... cause I bet I can guess what video it is!!!! :D

  • @cheesecake110499 Ehr...nope, I didn't get the audio from another vid x) I used the original song and cut it to make it sound like the movie version.

  • @UNTOUCHABLE115

    You say that but it is -also- perfect for Toph, fare more so than Zuko.

    Toph is trying to be who she is.

    Zuko is trying to be someone he is not.

    Together they are flip sides of the same coin but the song suits Toph better.

  • I think it's great as is :) I don't think the effects were crazy. It seemed like the perfect balance to me :) Great job!

  • @19TimiT91 For your information, it IS an anime. It is drawn in the same style as anime. Just because it's American-made does not make it non-anime.

    Anime refers to the style of art, not the country it came from. Yes, anime did originate in Japan, and yes, most manga and anime are made by Japanese, but that doesn't mean other countries can't create anime, too.

    Peace.

  • First, I think the AMV is really well done. It's the first one about Zuko that I thought had real relevance to the song, and meaning in the clips. I was taken in... the clips were chosen and put together really well.

    However, you really, really did overuse the special effects. Every single clip was rife with them, to the point where some screens had half special effects and half actual picture. Special effects are great but too much becomes distracting. If you toned it down, it would be perfect!

  • @KylieZDM Thank you for the nice and constructive comment! :) However this vid was really an exception, in fact I hardly ever use so many effects in my AMVs, I'm more the type who likes to keep it simple and focus on the beating of the song...the reason why I did sooo many effects was some kind of..."I WANT TOO USE A LOT OF EFFECTS THIS TIME °W°" haha!! But I do realize I overdid with them, especially in some parts! (especially those..."things" raining down through the clips almost everywhere!)

  • AMAZING MOVIE AMAZING SONG HECK YESS!!!!!!!!! Wonderful job the vid was epic XD

  • @increak96

    ... movie?... you mean the Shamalan film? *grimmace*

    Don't associate the film with the animation ever. It's like comparing the Prequel Star wars to the Original trilogy. There is nothing in it, the one that came first was the best.

  • @Bushflare AY CARUMBA THE SHALAMAWHATEVER THING WAS EVIL AND STUPID AND POINTLESS AND EVIL AND EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW­WW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    No, no, no, Treasure Planet was an amazing movie!!! It's actually my all-time fave disney! :D

  • @increak96

    *nod* I approve of this. *nod*

    Though it was more of an adaptation of extant material like how the lion king was an adaptation of Hamlet and Lion King 2 was Romeo and Juliet. I still gotta give the film it's credit because I love it. The musical score was a large part of that.

  • dude......YOU ROCK!!! my fav parts is 0:00 to 3:53!!!! amazing job my friend! <3

  • This Video is amazing!! :)

    I love it, & the song fits Zuko so perfectly, very nicely done :3

  • @Domitienne Haha! Don't worry! ;) I'm glad you like my vid! :D

  • this is.... AMAZING

  • I just noticed I always watched ATLA because of Zuko, haha

  • Words cannot describe how awesome this video is. I absolutely love it

  • Now this is Zuko's song and it fits him perfectly!

  • So damn perfect ! *~*

    And Zuko is one of my fav charas !

    Without him Avatar would be so boring :')

    love him & your beautiful, awesome, amazing video :)

  • For your information Avatar isn't an anime. It's American-made.

  • @19TimiT91 For your information, I do know it's American.

    That's just my standard disclaimer and I don't bother writing it over and over again every time I make a video -_-

  • Another one of the many videos that WAY too good to be made by me

  • my fave part is 2:11 - 2:45 :) SIMPLY AMAZING job.

  • @peterpanfan010 Thanks! :D I'm glad you like that part specifically, I chose those clips for that part of the song because in the Disney movie Treasure Planet, there's the part where Jim's father leaves, so Zuko's mom leaving totally fitted! :)

  • @RennyTheThunder

    Well put together and a good song choice. Effects were good but distract from what should essentially be a solemn story of hope. It is certainly impressive despite that.

    I have got one gripe though. Why did you choose this song for Zuko? It is a good song that fits fairlywell (¬,¬ Far better then most AMVs these days) but Zuko is a character based on self deception and redemption and through that discovers himself. Toph is the one who feels grounded and oppressed. *shrug*

  • @Bushflare First, thanks for the compliments! Second, well, I think it fits Zuko. He's my favorite Avatar character and he for sure feels, to use your words, grounded and oppressed for what he's so desperately trying to be, he's trying to find his true self under the mask of toughness that he put up to please his father and to finally gain his approval. That's why he needed a guide to help him find what he truly is, and this song fits his confusion and struggle to final find the right path....

  • ...continues from previous comment! xD and it also fits how he was misunderstood. But then again is a subjective matter so I'm not trying to convince you or anything!

    Btw, I saw you posted a comment about the original SW trilogy being better than the new one. I don't wanna start an argument or something, but the two stories are just plain different and you can't really compare them, in my opinion. New Trilogy's about one character development, Old is about an epic journey with lot of characters.

  • @RennyTheThunder

    Well, you explain Zuko well but I still think he's trying to be something he's not at the beginning.

  • @Bushflare Yep. Because he's confused, and doesn't know what he really wants. So here comes the journey to find his true self :)

  • @RennyTheThunder

    I see what you are saying but for the majority of the animation he knows exactly what he wants. He wants to be the son of the Fire lord and he wants to bring glory to his nation. It's only after he achieves that goal that he realises what a mistake he has made and that makes him understand what he truly should be.

    Zuko! The Avatar's right hand man and almighty Pwner of Azula! (even though that was mostly Kataara anyway xD)

  • Yeah, I've always hated that it was Katara who brought down Azula! XD

    He knew what he wanted, but he still had to figure out what he needed: in season 2 he starts to think his ways were wrong. Notice that in the amv I didn't use clips from season 1. The development is in season 2, during which, under the guide of Iroh, he starts to search for what he wants to be. Than there's the big mistakes which makes him fully realize that, but he already started questioning it at the start of season 2.

  • @RennyTheThunder

    I never said that the song -doesn't- fit him. More that it fits him loosely and Toph perfectly. It does suit him better post season 1 but it fits Toph completely in all seasons she is in. Perhaps on -this- debate we can settle with a compromise?

  • @Bushflare I know you didn't. You said you think it fits Toph far more than Zuko, and asked me why I used this song for him, so I just explained the reasons why to answer your question. Because it fits his character from season 2 to the end, and his relationship with Uncle Iroh.

  • Love this video. Loved this show. Love Zuko<3

  • THS IS AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! 

  •  work of pure ART =)

  • @DarkFlameHiei1 Aww thanks!!! <3

  • Awesome!  I love this song for Zuko but none of the other AMVs really lived up to the depth of the song or chose clips that were appropriate. I was beginning to think that there just wasn't an awesome video to go with this awesome song. Thankfully, you totally nailed it!

    Good Job!

  • @EpsilonZero Thank you so much!!! I'm glad you like it, I always put a big effort in choosing the right clips for a song! :D

  • @RennyTheThunder just curious do you take request?

  • S beautiful <3 Way to go- lotsa effects haha. It doesn't matter if the song is overused- it's who used it best!

  • @ViperFire123 Haha thanks!! :) I'm glad you like it!

    Actually I never use many effects in my AMVs, but when I made this I felt like doing it!! x3 It's a bit unusual for my editing style!

  • @RennyTheThunder I've noticed- bad habit I have, to look at all the other videos. but this one is one of my favorites

  • @RennyTheThunder Just curious do you take request?

  • WOW~! That was epic!

  • Just 1 word... EPIC!!!!!!

  • zuko leaving his mom made me almost cry

  • cool! great editing!!

  • Zuko is my favorite character, an amazing, complex person and this is perfect for him. This is a wonderfull vid! I love it! Thank you and lifelong honor to you, highly esteemed master.

  • Great job! This song can never be overused, imo.

  • This is pure epicness!!!! I LOVE it!!!

  • This video ROCKS!!! XD *faves* I can honestly say this blew me away with it's awesomeness!!!

  • you have no idea how thankful I am that you made this video right now. The tone it's setting is really getting me through a tough time. I've literally just played this over ten times and counting.....

  • @24water7 I'm really glad this vid can help you even a little bit!!

    I was having a really tough time as well when I made it :(

    All the best! *hugs*

  • NICE JOB!!!!!! What program are you using to clip him out of the videos? 

  • @werewoman25 Thanks! :D

    I used Sony Vegas 7.0, it's in the description! ;)

  • Hail Fire Lord Zuko!

  • favorite song ever, and Zuko my favorite animated character next to Jim Hawkins

  • This was a really well made video, love this song

  • he's my cartoon crush<3

  • I still love this video, one of my favorites!!!

  • Even the waves in the beginning fit the song! This is really cool.

  • 3:08 is the most epic part!

  • I LOVE THE SHOWS AND THE MOVIE! I LIKE ZUKO! AND IM A GIRL!

  • @Merma1dg1rl you like the movie... dont you even think that they should have zuko and the others be played by chinese kids? they had white people vs. mexican people too in the movie, dont you even notice it? i wont even say i love the movie, but i dont love the show! XD

  • Awesome Video. Totally Love it. Your a creative person. The most best video I've seen. More than two thumbs. Keep making AWESOME videos.. :))

  • OMG OMG OMG!!!! WHAT PROGRAM DID YOU USE? THIS IS FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!

    I use cheapo moviemaker. It works, but the effects aren't anywhere near as awesome as this! The song works with the character. I made an 'I'm Still Here' music video too... except I used Sly Cooper instead.

  • Very artfully done. Next to Sokka, Zuko is my fave! (I like Sokka because he's funny)

  • @sirguyslady Thanks for sharing this AMV with me. I already saw it, but I still totally love it! Also LOVE this song.

  • @JessicaXKayleigh Me too, now!

  • idc if this song may be over used! this was seriously beautiful :)

    ty so much for making it!

  • this was soo well done!!!! Fantastic work!!!!!!!!

  • Holy F this is AMAZING!!!!!!

  • love it hope it doesn't get deleted

  • Wow this was great! Not only did it match the Treasure Island, is simply just matches to Zuko as well :D

    Not to mention I loved the editing, very nice work ^^ I think I'm gonna have a look at that Sony Vegas program, you used xD

  • Holy shit.. all those masks.. crazy! xD awesome. respeeect! <3

  • This was an amazingly well done video. This song really embodies Zuko and his storyline and the editing was phenomenal! I'm speechles...I'm just sitting here at the screen, still staring in awe. Yup, it was that good!! <3

  • Wow this is great. I can't believe even 5 people don't like it

  • WOW this was a fantastic vid. i am personaly new to the "avatar fan club" so to speek, and i have found zuko's story to be very simmilar to my own, therfor he has become my favorite. "Still Here" is a perfect song for the both of us and ur vid has touched me. thank you, and fenominal work!

  • zuko had a harsh life the hardest points ar showed in this video all zuko fans unit for zuko

  • You executed this video perfectly. This is probably the BEST made avatar AMV on youtube. This is so good, that they should show it on Nick. I mean, The song fits perfectly, because Zuko's mother being gone and his father being a royal douche (Literally) and uncle being more of the father than Ozai ever was, and despite being raised in such a harsh way, he still ended up good. He changed his bad ways despite his horrible past. Congratulations. 10/10 hands down to you.

  • WOW THIS IS AMAZING GREAT JOB!!!

  • wow this is amazing!!! this song really fits zuko, and the use of effects was perfect!!!!!!!!!!! 5***** and favs!!!!

  • that has to be the best avatar video ive seen, that was amazing - how did you do all that :D

  • that was one of the best avatar vids i've ever seen. A+

  • I think this song really fits Zuko, I was searching this video because I heard this song recently and I though "It's like they're singing Zuko's life"

    Really Zuko is the best character in the whole series. Five stars!

  • I think you did a good job choosing a suitable song (I personally love it) and pairing it with fantastic clips. The effects, however, got to be a bit annoying. You did a tasteful job in many places, but there were others where the clips would have stood fine on their own without being tampered with. In other words, great work, but you got a little carried away with the additional "art".

  • good job

  • excellent vid. He is my favorite character!

  • I love Zuko! This was amazing!

  • wow, this song suits Zuko perfectly. *sniff* poor Zuko *hugz*

  • i can relate to this so much
