Wow, WAY beyond awesome. Love it! :D

[snakeinthereeds]

Truly superb AMV man, worth every bit of the award.

[SGJPDLProductions]

good job with the AMV! where did you get the clips of FF, or did you record them yourself..... because ive been meaning to make an AMV with Final Fantasy. If you could message me back, that would be great!

Cheers, Sam Summerhill of SGJPDLProductions.

[DiamondDustProd]

@SGJPDLProductions Thanks! I ripped the footage myself from the Advent Children DVD.

[Ryugishi]

so very beautiful love this song...and the game...what can i say...i live final fantasy...

[WeareCreative360]

kool

[hyrulegraywolflink]

this AMv invokes emotion... It makes me think. awesome job.

[DiamondDustProd]

Thanks! It's "Unforgiven II" by Metallica.

[wingedwolfangelX]

this really good! you should do some more! 10/5

loved how you went after the true plot of AC. thanks so much!

[kargarus]

hey wow! i love anime and and i love metal! so well syched, tops, really enjoyed it, thanks :-)

[Sasami10]

So amazing how well done this is.

[mrash7a]

amazing realy great job

[TheWiseGuy784]

"Can sins be forgiven?"

"I've never tried."

First lines that popped into my head when I saw the title. :)

[JonathanS117]

the best. thats how it is

[vovinia]

really well done... i think you matched the feel of the story and the song very well

[isaicombatfighter]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!

[saiyanprince989]

bitchin

[spyrosnar]

best amv I have seen so far...I really hope you can upload another one!

[ShionKreth]

5/5 awesome

the win was deserved

[mukalukadream]

I am not the least bit surprised that this won best drama.

[ilayhu]

wow!!, you did a good job here!, I can see a lot of effort in this amv, the video and the audio have a nice complement each other... congratulations, keep going

[Tunacaitsith]

1:37 was it intentional to include the sound of Cloud waking up cause I hear it.....other than that this s fucking awesome!!!

[DiamondDustProd]

Actually, that sound is Metallica grunting - the timing just made it look like Cloud. If you listen to an .mp3 of "Unforgiven II" you'll hear it. :)

[Asakura9109]

@DiamondDustProd Same way with the water falling on denzels head. Its actually a sound in the song just perfect timing. i love the timing all the way through this vid making it still my fav AMV to this day. Plus this is my fav song so maybe that helps lol. Amazing work keep it up. Im looking forward to some more great ones from you.

[DiamondDustProd]

@Asakura9109 Wow - thanks so much! And yep, have a few videos the works at the moment. :)

[MuncherRocker]

@DiamondDustProd This seriously was the most amazing-est video ive seen Im Glad it won As Asakura said the timeing was actually amazing it fitted with it the fight scences were good and on top of that the song s meaning and such seemed 2 go well with the vdeo This was just amazing I just hope one of these days i can produce something as amazing as this ive lost all my inspirtation 2 make videos .. maybe.. idk But this is an amazing Amv Ty ^-^

[Redtrooper2]

ya know, it's sad, I think that people who think anime people are cute are kinda weird, but I have to admit, the 1 girl in this video is VERY pretty, which makes me weird XD

Great video! 5000000/5 stars

[bttrflymagic]

This is a really beautiful video. I can definitely see why you won. You've got some skill! :) 1000/5 stars :)

[0MGARSH]

I loved that you didn't use that much effects! And it still pretty much beats most of the new trends in skill! LOL

[sailorswhim]

impressive...is this a hobby, or do you do this for a living?

[DiamondDustProd]

LOL - I wish. It's just a hobby. :)

[bttrflymagic]

That makes you even more impressive :)

[KilalaTheCatDemon]

i can see why it won! this is really good XD it's in my faves now XDD

[slade535]

I am actually downloading now the HQ version hehe, thats amazing really good work!!

[animefira001]

It was the best Final Fantasy AMV I've seen in a long time. It was a well deserved win and I can't wait for you to come out with another AMV.

[GaaraSeshyWolframGrl]

deserved the finals and even the win!

it was pure amazment

[Roxas1969]

almost perfect should do a unforgiving trilogy w/ the original and the third one then it will be perfect :)

[Rebumai]

5/5 It was brilliant. Timing was near perfect, well done

[Otaku425]

amazing i wish to someday made such great vides but i need to def learn the tricks of the trade =[

[existinnon]

Really worth watching. Thanks for sharing!

[raquelborn]

Aww that was so good.

[PleaseTrustMe]

Love doesn't even describe it. ♥

[iHeartAnimes]

0.0

wow that was just simply amazing

[DrunkenGamingMaster]

Masterpiece.

[rsmp1806]

hey awsome i luv these vid great work

^_^

[yosinz]

FF7 FTW <333 I LOVE IT

[LagunaL0ire]

Seriously amazing..... Yeah the fights in final fantasy are awesome but the characters and the stories are even more.... Perfect song for Cloud....

[sydcorgie]

awsomeness it made me tear up. I only saw Cloud in kingdomhearts i never knew he was suffering so much...

[MusicFreek7]

So amazing :D

[JChellsing]

oh my god that was perfect, thank you

[SRsaya]

hey great video i like it ^^

[thedistraught]

this is by far the best AMV i have seen to date its very well put together and flows great with the song, I jus wanted to give my congrats and i lokked forward to seeing more vids from you! this is soo going in my faves

=3

[killthebuddha]

Did I mention I saw this at Anime Boston 2007, and it was SO badass. Seriously. I love Metallica, I love Advent Children, I love Cloud's personal drama, so to speak - you captured it well. After having seen the video, I have a new understanding and appreciation of Advent Children. This is one of my all time favorite AMVs. Well done. You deserved the win, by far.

[XelestialDragon]

You sell yourself short. I can tell this took a lot of time and thought. I usually don't like FF7:AC movies because they end up taking some popular "dark" song and use all the "romantic" or action parts in the movie and it ends up being the same thing over and over again. But this was different, and I can see why it won best drama, it definitely deserved it.

[ShebasGhost]

when i first saw this vid, i was thinking "this song is very personal" not to ME but this song has a personal nature.

And I think in general, guys would like this song more than girls (in general)

When you made this vid, I wanna hear what you had in mind, please send me a reply^^

[Anachronism91]

I think this is truly amazing. As someone who's actually played through the game, the part where Cloud was laying Aeris in the water almost made me cry. Extremely well done and truly deserving of the win.

[Chocolatemonster91]

i did cry in the game when aerith died!

im such a sap

[KyleScott2]

awsome song i love unforgiven!

[vovinia]

It's a very well deserved win.

Your timing is impeccable.

Congrats.

[Gargoyle432]

I love this video, I think you did an awesome job! Congrats on the win to

[Crimsonofregret]

I may be late ( I just found it!!) but dude incredible job!! If I weren't in a room filled with sleeping children I'd totally crank up the volume and rock out! Congratulations on your win.

Oh,and 4:10- 4:40 totally blew me away

[willefoxy]

Holy shit cant find a better amw than this and nice music ^^ and Congratz for winning must have been hard to do this one :D.

[guardianskeeper]

This has been and continues to be my most favorite AMV of any I've ever watched in all my "Anime Days".

I had the privilege of watching it at AB07 (as staff I couldn't vote) and I loved it then and still watch it from time to time.

I love how you put this together and I think you did an AWESOME job with it!!

[DiamondDustProd]

Wow - that's a fantastic compliment! Thank you so much!

[DiamondDustProd]

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you enjoy it!

And FYI, I'm a girl. xD

[627287]

[oMFGwTFlMFAO]

[ookamisaki]

[1zaarangilly16]

oh wow i love it!!! whats the song?!?! 5/5

[DiamondDustProd]

Thanks!

It's Unforgiven II by Metallica.

[BenTaivas]

I had the first version, which is good but this song is amazing. And the AMV also.

Epic, truly. You should be proud.

[HatroVille]

ohh and pls i would like to know how long it took you for that masterpiece...pls

Thank you =)

[KakashiLover132000]

Beautiful! ^^

[secretyume]

wow....great music and amazing video wow and once again wow!!! congratulations :)

[ElitePirateUpsilon]

Absolutely amazing job. While I was watching the first minute and a half or so I admit that I was kind of thinking "uhhh.... they voted this best drama?", but I absolutely ate my words by the time the amv was half over. Brilliant editing job, and pretty original chronology of footage. You certainly deserved the nod, and I can't wait to see what you enter this year! ^_^

[DiamondDustProd]

Thanks so much for the compliment! I'm glad it won you over. ^^

[testament0]

Awesome video, I love how the scenes actually change in tune with the song (specially the drums).

[benejeserit]

Wow...well done.

[shadowOofOtheOangel]

nice work on the amv_-_

[ShizunoEX]

i loved it but i just have one tiny complaint

i prefer the unforgiven 1 to 2

but still even with that minor thing

this video is easily one of the best i have ever seen

bar none

congratulations DiamondDustProd

[DaftBrian]

I was at Anime Boston when I saw this. I was like "wow, Metallica? Thank God." I just wanted to turn around, point at people and say "This is some good f%$king music!!!" cause I know there were kids in there who think MCR is the best thing since sliced wrists...I mean bread.

[miaka711]

amen to that lol i agree fully etallica is the shit ^_^

[chokosaki]

hahaha...that's the most amazing thing i've heard today...best thing since sliced wrists...awesome

[Xahn]

Damn straight it's good music. Awesome that it actually goes well with the AMV, woo!!!!

[Fiery00]

wow this is really amazing my ff7 vid sux compared to this one.....

i guess thats why yours won, really amazing, well done

[Szadek2]

great choice of anime gj. oh btw this is unforgivenII just so u gys know imo Unforgiven was better

[DiamondDustProd]

Thanks!

Oh, and I know the song is Unforgiven II - but I still titled the vid Unforgiven in aknowlegement of Cloud's feelings, not the Metallica music series. ^^

[Darken1178]

You said it HellsCowBoy666, I still can belive how good it is.

[Crimsonxturk]

I love it =D

[SkykelSamurai]

T__T Poor Tifa, damn. o__o

[missind33]

Your third AMV and yo made that! Man, I'm jelous

[CrimsonBerserker]

Wow... that was awesome! ^^

[Animeforever18]

Just feel like adding another comment. Good song choice. I really love it. Hope to meet you at AB next year.

[imaginary846]

Definitely one of the best videos I have ever seen. The way you put together the video was amazing. I am blown speechless. Speechless.

[HellsCowBoy666]

my speakers r at max an i still want them louder for this vid...it kicks to much ass 1,000,000,000,000/5

[Darken1178]

I am shocked and amazed. this is without a dout the best I have ever seen. I only wish I could have been there for the finals. And I wish I could give you a ten out of feve one the rating. You truly have made a masterpeace.

[Animeforever18]

Hey I was there and saw this, just awesome!

[krazynight19]

i love the original unforgiven i aint heard this un though

[666Metalass666]

i love this vid to an outrageous degree, a most excellent job

[RedDragonM1]

I saw some of this. I think it's really well done, the song's cool too.

I was going to be in the masqurade, doing a bit on how Final Fantasy and anime games get bashed by XPLAY. Were you in the masquarde?

[ScarletAssassin]

Yo, just wanted to let you know that I voted you for best in show at Boston.

[Avatar15Nanoda]

Amazing music video... its NOT anime, its Final Fantasy... but its still epic. I can't believe it won for those. Actually, I can. LOVE YOU! I wish I could have seen it on the big screen. Couldn't make it that day.

[DiamondDustProd]

@ Avatar15Nanoda ~ Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Although technically, Advent Children IS anime AND Final Fantasy, as it was a movie, not a video game. ;-)

@ Michela ~ Thanks Michaela! And I wish I could've seen Sora and Riku air-keyblading! xD

[Avatar15Nanoda]

'Tis true, it was a movie OF the video games.

And they did make an anime of it.

[Laughingman01]

I was very impressed with amv. I knew it was a winner when I saw it at Anime Boston. I was one of the many that voted for you. congratulations!

p.s. I look foward to your future amvs. ^_^

[sinofanangel]

OMG. this was my favorite video! i was liek screaming when i saw it was metallica. i seriously had like a spaz attack i was like "FUCK YES!" and then i sang the whole damn song while it played. i wish i could've seen rocking otu sora and riku, i would've joined in!

[Michela]

OMG, at the Anime Boston closing ceremonies, Ginger and I were ROCKING OUT EXTREMELY HARD to this video; (and it must have looked very strange for Sora and Riku to be air guitaring on their keyblades, but I guarantee that it was done. XD) I love the editing, footage, and the song that you used!

[Dragoncry12]

I saw this at Boston, and I loved it! It was kick ass! That and the Champloo Distance to Nagasaki were the best ones their. I myself have never truely found the right songs to used for FF7:AC. My best amv's are Onegai Teacher ones. But I can never get them uploaded. Ahh well. But congradulations on the award. Try again for 2008!

[RisingDarkk]

i was totaly NOT having a seizure!!!!!! lol it was more of a spaz attack XP

[RisingDarkk]

This is the best AC AMV ive ever seen! i love it!!! i was freaking out when they played it! it was so amazing! my friends were trying to calm me down but when that one flash of Kadaj went by i was going insane. i love you you! you are amazing!!! lol

[UserRED13]

Amazing AMV. Loved it when I saw it at Anime Boston 2007!

[MangaJunkie23]

absolutly incredible. when it won, i was singing the song to my boyfriend (Quietly of course, lol) just... awesome

[djanime2005]

love the video! when will be up to download on AMV website.

[DiamondDustProd]

Thanks! :) It has been uploaded to AMVs dot ORG, but the site is having problems with their processing queue, so it is still on hold. It will be up to download as soon as the bug is fixed. ^^

[RookSniper]

thanks for uploading this, i've just about finished my playlist of the AB AMV winners, great vid, keep up the amazing work!

[DiamondDustProd]

Thanks everyone!

And yeah, I completely agree the song is long - I was worried about that when I chose it, but I liked the combination of it and the footage too much to pass up. I did have to cut out over 30 seconds of music to fit the contest time limit, though, which helped a bit, but I doubt I'll try something this long again. ^^

[MeliChan923]

Let me just day, whether the song was a little bit too long or not, it takes one heck of an AMV maker to edit footage that isn't that long into an incredible amv like you did. Sometimes people have over 20 hours of footage and a shorter song to work with and they don't quite pull it off. You had a lot less to work with with a very long song and still nailed it. You're amazing. :) *Thumbs up*

[MidnightSohma]

my advice, use a shorter song^^; it was great editing but i got boerd. congrats on the win though, only your third amv. you have an awsome future ahead of you.

[ZelosWilder]

It was amazing seeing this on the big screen. Congrats on the win. Good luck getting in again if you're going to try! Keep up the awesome AMVs.

[MeliChan923]

This video is absolutely beautiful in every way. It's your third video? I would have guessed it was at least your 10th with your editing skills. ^_^ You are very talented! It was a perfect video to open up the contest with and I loved seeing it on the big screen. This could possibly be one of the best Advent Children videos of all time. Congratulations! You deserved to win! :) I can't wait to see more videos from you.
