I couldn't believe it when the video was over. Never have 8 minutes gone by so fast! I'm really impressed, I don't think I've ever loved a Lord of the Rings video this much. Excellent job!
how can you make the movies with out picture because i use windows movie maker but i dont know how to get the movie clips and all that? do you need a memory stick?

I think I've watched this video about eight times already and I'm still not bored of it. It has to be the best video on youtube, not like most of the trash that litters it. I love the editting, flawless.
What is truly amazing about this video is that you told a story, and had incredible editing, Its very time consuming. This video deserved all the awards it received and all the positive comments it has gotten. Truly a treat for the eyes.
you do such brill videos and sevendust are brill i love chours it amazing your bruce lee on is brill 2 u could use sorrow from the new sevendust album 2 on something lol well done anyway
My boys from Atlanta are all over the place, as always, rocking in many different facets. So good to see this fabulous song used for this particular video!
Wow, another masterpiece of work. What yellowish/white bright flash is the one that you like to use a lot? Doesn't look like a yellow flash or a hard flash. And man, I'm speechless. Everything... the ending with the yellowish pale overshadow of the clips. How did you do it?
Wow. Thats all I can say. This is art not just a movie. If this isn't your career you need to really make it. I do a little video making and editing on the side but nothing compares to these vids. Excellent work! You definitely have a gift!
ohhh man its unbelievable to think that someone can make a video thats pretty much as good as the movie itself. i watch this almost everyday man. fantastic video, fantastic editing, music (sevendust kicks ass)everything, just perfect. keep goin with these vids
Your Terminator video is awesome and I watch it all the time but this one is on another level. The music is so schizo and takes so many twists and turns but the editing stays on pace the whole time which is sick for an 8 minute video. You use the lyrics to great effect with the right clips. Then the ending effect with the book and showing the fates of the characters was a great capper. I'm very impressed and I don't impress easy.
Thank you :) It's hard to say how much time it takes because I usually juggle this hobby with my job, my family life, etc. Sometimes it's hard to get into any kind of rhythm. This video in particular took about a month to complete just because of the length of the song and because I had so many distractions at the time.
Hey was up hitmanyr2k I seen your videos a long time ago in gametrailers but i could never write anything cause i was not part of the community.I did not know you had more awesome videos here in youtube and lucky for me i m apart of it so now i can finally say that your videos are Epic including this one, the first vid i shaw was bruce lee to this day i still love it and then i discovered you in youtube.ok im writing to much just wanted to say that i love your videos.
Thank you for the comment :) I haven't posted on Gametrailers since they changed their format a bit. I've been on Youtube what seems like forever but I do have my own site where these videos can be downloaded in much higher quality if you want to check it out. The link is on my profile or in the description of every video I uploaded here. Thanks again for the kind words and also the comments from everyone else. I apologize for not answering a lot of them.
OMFG this vid has to be one of the best iv'e seen everything was PERFECT!!!it was so amazing the edititng and just everything! keept up the fantastic work. :D :
Okay, this was a masterpiece!!! Seriously, flawless editing, brilliant use of clips, dissolves, fades! And then you put a hell lot of emotion to it too! I believe you are already a professional!! Cograts on making such a woderful video! i'm more than happy that I watched it!! Keep it up, and pls man, go straight to a movie companie and show them what you are worth! This deserves a lot more!!
That was pretty amazing. I don't necessarily like Sevendust, but the way you composed this video, I might just be a fan, now. Anyway. Great job. Everything fit the music like a glove. It told a story. It was emotive. The scenes were driving when the guitar rhythm was driving, mellow and serene when the music was calm. Excellent work. I seriously hope you become a film-maker...if you're not an official one already.
Sometimes you run across a video where you want to praise the hell out of it but no words seem good enough. This is one of those videos. Sir, you are a master of your craft. Much respect for the effort that must have gone into making this.
If I ever make a video for the Matrix it'll be for the first movie only. The two sequels didn't vibe with me all that much so if I tried to make a video for the whole trilogy my heart wouldn't be in it.
oops - My comment never posted and then it showed up with my new post. Well, whatever - your video is wonderful enough to be complimented twice! ha ha Keep up the great work!
sweet jesus! the breaks in the song to the video are insane,a mediocre comment doesnt do this video justice..oustanding job man,the lead singer proves that black people can own at anything
OMFG! thats soo good! so well edited! so awesome! the song went perfectly with the video. the timing was perfect. I love it. 5/5 and to favs, was this made with sony vegas?
Thanks for the compliment :) I'm one of the rare users of Ulead Mediastudios 7.0 Pro. It's hardly mentioned as much as Sony Vegas or Adobe for some reason.
This video still makes me go "wow" every time I watch it. All of his videos wow me but this one is epic. If you were ever to retire from editing this would be the way to go out.
One thing I love most about the song is it starts out melodic in the beginning and then about a minute in it kicks you in the teeth with chaos and mayhem. The visuals match every single detail and tempo change of the song. It's an awesome marriage of scenes and music.
OMFG this has to be one of the best video editing jobs I have ever seen. IT IS LITERALLY A SYNERGY OF CINEMATOGRAPHY, AND MUSIC THAT IS Awesome. This shall surely grow on me the more I watch it. Outstanding work AJ.
Awesome work. This is by far the best fan made video I have seen. Great editing and I don't know but every time I watch this, I want to watch the movies again or read the book. AWESOME!! Keep it up.
First of all I want to say thanks for converting me lol. Even though I wasn't a lotr fan I favorited this video a long time ago just for the editing and song alone. I finally got around to watching the movies and now this video is even more incredible because I understand everything behind it. You really did an awesome job tying the lyrics to the struggles of the characters. I regret waiting so long to watch the movies since they are now in my favorites of all time.
HOLY HELL! This is INCREDIBLE! This is without a doubt THE best fan-made music video I've ever seen and I've read a lot of comments by LOTR purists saying that this creation is just plain wrong. WRONG? The only thing wrong here is that it hasn't made 5 stars yet! OUTSTANDING!!!
Thanks for the comment :) I've never received any comments from purists (at least I don't think so lol). I realize most LOTR fans associate these movies with softer music so not everyone is going to like the style of music I've chosen and I never take any offense to that. With all that said, I'm pleasantly surprised at the positive response this video has received overall.
Do you do requests? I'd love to see hard rock videos for movies like 1986's Trick or Treat (with, say...Sevendust's 'Beg to Differ') and 1987's The Gate (with, say...Sevendust's 'Corrected') That would be awesome! Again...nice work! :)
I apologize for not responding to all of these generous comments individually. I'm overwhelmed by the positive response and really appreciative of the great feedback. Thank you all :)
this is the best video i have seen on youtube, ever. wow, i can even say it backwards wow.i love the lord of the rings and the use of effects with referall back to the great eye was spectacular.
I've become a big fan of LOTR and I've always love Sevendust. So when I saw this link I was instantly intrigued.Boy I sure wasn't prepared for this! I think this is the best video I've ever seen in my 32 years on this earth.Bro, I think you need to show those big name music video directors how it's done (or are you one yourself)? Excellent work! Truly breathtaking!
This is one of the most awesome videos I've ever had the privilege of watching on youtube - amazing work, and Thank You for posting it for us all to see it and enjoy it!!!
This video is incredible and it looks like it took an insane amount of work to accomplish. The last 3 minutes are jaw dropping. The movie scenes in the book are awesome. Much respect for making this.
I watch this video just about everyday and I'm still amazed that you could have the patience to put this whole thing together with so much attention to detail. You can shy away from the praise all you want but every comment on this video is well deserved. Beautiful work my friend.
This video was un-freakin'-believable. I loved it. It was a compilation of one of my all time movie series/books and included my favorite song from the alpha album. As Matt Damon says in Dogma, "Outstanding work!"
It's easy to see why so many people say "wow" after watching this video. I still can't fathom the effort it must have taken to make something this amazing. As usual the timing is flawless and the scenes are tied to the lyrics of the song to perfection (2:57 - 3:39 was just awesome). The last 3 minutes blew me away. The timing with the piano and the images in the book was beautiful work. You should be proud.
I'm glad you have patience and dedication because you're going to need it. I never recommend jumping into an intermediate/professional level editing program but hell, I did it lol. I still haven't used version 8.0 yet since I'm still more than satified with 7 but from what I seen of the interface they've tweaked it a bit. Good luck :)
I recommended this to all my friends and they all gave it a 5/5 and now it's our favorite video on YouTube! Oh, and I was wondering if you used the editing program 'Adobe Premiere Pro' (because I want an editing program other than movie maker) and I heard that it costs 799$, is that true?

I've become a big fan of LOTR and I've always love Sevendust. So when I saw this link I was instantly intrigued.Boy I sure wasn't prepared for this! I think this is the best video I've ever seen in my 32 years on this earth.Bro, I think you need to show those big name music video directors how it's done (or are you one yourself)? Excellent work! Truly breathtaking!

This video is incredible and it looks like it took an insane amount of work to accomplish. The last 3 minutes are jaw dropping. The movie scenes in the book are awesome. Much respect for making this.

Excellent work man. You should be really proud of yourself. I'm no LOTR fan but you really told a epic story there.

I watch this video just about everyday and I'm still amazed that you could have the patience to put this whole thing together with so much attention to detail. You can shy away from the praise all you want but every comment on this video is well deserved. Beautiful work my friend.

This video was un-freakin'-believable. I loved it. It was a compilation of one of my all time movie series/books and included my favorite song from the alpha album. As Matt Damon says in Dogma, "Outstanding work!"

It's easy to see why so many people say "wow" after watching this video. I still can't fathom the effort it must have taken to make something this amazing. As usual the timing is flawless and the scenes are tied to the lyrics of the song to perfection (2:57 - 3:39 was just awesome). The last 3 minutes blew me away. The timing with the piano and the images in the book was beautiful work. You should be proud.

I'm glad you have patience and dedication because you're going to need it. I never recommend jumping into an intermediate/professional level editing program but hell, I did it lol. I still haven't used version 8.0 yet since I'm still more than satified with 7 but from what I seen of the interface they've tweaked it a bit. Good luck :)

I recommended this to all my friends and they all gave it a 5/5 and now it's our favorite video on YouTube! Oh, and I was wondering if you used the editing program 'Adobe Premiere Pro' (because I want an editing program other than movie maker) and I heard that it costs 799$, is that true?
