Honestly, you have made the greatest AMV I have ever seen. Not only does it celebrate Avatar, but it utilizes creatively timed special effects. Every time I watch this it almost brings tears to my eyes.
The intercutting of the dance makes this AMV. Never having watched _Avatar_, I'm not really moved by most of it - but I get enough that the dance is put in context and then it syncs perfectly with the lyrics & music.
Congrats on making the Anime USA finalists!! I was very happy to see you on the list when I attended the con. After being dissapointed that it wasn't in the finals at Otakon I was quite excited! :) I voted for you, I can't seem to find the results anywhere...do you know if you won the category?
@Orenjiday I got 3rd place in Drama, apparently. You can find the results on animemusicvideos dot orgif you look under the "Contests" area and find the AnimeUSA thread. Results should be in the first post.
I think I'm about ready to retire this from con submissions. It had a freaking fantastic run, and has been received better than I could have hoped, but I want some exposure to go to my new BeBop vid, and some other yet-unfinished projects I'm working on.
Amazing! It was so beautiful. <3 I love this song and this anime and seeing them combined and all that emotion flowing just fills me to the brim with feeling. Great job!
PERFECT, absolutley positively win! I can't wait to see this in the finalist on the big screen. great job! You have my vote! I would only suggest editing out the white lines on the sides. Other then that go ahead and pat yourself on the back! No...im serious...DO IT NOW!O_O. But really sosososososososososo good! Once again fantastic job and I cannot wait to see this win!
@SebastianDrench Thank you so much, but I didn't make it to the finalists. You can probably still catch it on the overflow. And the version I sent in does not have the white lines, and a few effects are cleaned up.
I think definitely...this is finalist material. It's very beautiful work I have to say. Although I do think that some effects are overused, then again, I'm not a fan of using too many effects and letting the footage work for itself. But, even so I could see myself voting for this to win in the finals. I think a good AMV is one that hits you emotionally, and this one sure did :)
@Orenjiday Thank you, though I actually toned down some effects in the version I submitted to Otakon, cleaned up a few things, etc, etc.
I should point out, every effect used has thematic significance to what is going on, and rarely is an identical effect repeated. The con version is tailored to entertain an audience who will see it once, this version is one you can watch a million little times (HA!) and notice new things each time.
That's good to know, and I actually thought to myself that you might have done that :) But yeah, I agree that I you could watch this over and over again and still notice a few things. I definitely will be watching it, maybe not a MILLION times but a good amount lol
@GabatwaReturns Thank you! It was a very fulfilling experience to cut this together, Even though it took an entire year to edit, I still can't believe it's getting so much praise!
@Lythya Heh, yeah I have the DVD's. I personally believe one of the key ingredients for a good video is high-quality source footage. Ripping the DVD's was a pain, but completely worth it. And thanks for the praise! What you took from it is exactly what I was trying to convey.
At first I was skeptical; I really didn't think this song would fit with Avatar, but then I was totally blown away... Amazing job!

That was absolutely awesome! And the quality was amazing O.O I'm guessing you have the DVD's?
I loved how Katara and Aang dancing came in between the fighting, like a reminder that life is happy while also being hard and dark.
