Beautiful coice of song for this series, but the editing quality could use some work. Not just the use of subbed vs. unsubbed anime, but also things like how long you go between scene transitions. It's a slow-paced anime to begin with, and you make the video slow paced, when the heart of Sæglópur is a racing struggle.
Hey, great job! Really evokes the feel of the scenes you showed. The music works great! Plus, I think the subs were appropriate for this video - kinda shows what's going on, and it fits.
This was just awesome 5/5. Just letting you know you should watch the trailer for the movie The Tempest. They use the song very effectively in the trailer
Since I made this almost three years ago, I'm going to have to only guess my motives. I think it was because I had already downloaded one with subs to watch and to get the whole series again without subs would have taken a hella long time. And generally, all these things started randomly one night with a spark of an idea and were finished in less than two days, so it would have somewhat halted the process if I were to download the series all over again.
@starltrubymoon Making the AMV itself is about a thousand time harder than getting another version.
Whether or not I look at the subs intentionally bits of meaning are going to get through. Our minds are very good at recognizing the patterns that make up words whether we want to or not, and in the case of an AMV where the scene might be used for a different meaning altogether than from its purpose in the anime those stray bits destroy the creation.
@starltrubymoon Because it baffles me that if you're going to put that much effort into something that you wouldn't put in the much smaller amount of effort to get a better source.
Wow... what can I say? This was... haunting. I am a big fan of Sigur Ros and always thought their songs would suit this anime - so I'm really glad to have found this. You have a real artistic streak in you, I couldn't have done this better!
Whoa! you're right. I just watched it. I've never seen that band put their music into the hands of a video game company, but that's rad. The game looks alot like Ico though. Ah well, Ico was awesome so I'm sure this will be too.
Are you going to their NYC show June ... 16? I bought scalped tickets so I could - it'll be the fourth time I'll have seen them!
And guh, how can people not notice that? Immediately it caught my eye. I've tried to think about how to incorporate Sigur Ros in an AMV but it's slow going since I'm so picky about certain things. I was thinking about something with Vidrar Vel til Loftarasa..
I would if I was in the area, but living in Indiana, that's a ways off. If they ever came here though I'd be there in an instant; I've never seen them. My dream would be to someday see them in Iceland, but I doubt I'll ever be able to do that. Making a video for Viðrar vel til loftárása, hmm, that'd be quite a task; I would never want to tackle a ten minute+ song, but if someone did it that would be amazing.
The next thing I do will probably be with something from amiina or ().
10:04 for Vidrar vel til Loftarasa, so yeah... long, but the idea I had for it I think could work. I had started something before but scrapped it because I thought it wasn't strong enough at the time and was discouraged. I'd love to do something with Untitled 8 at some point. Orri's solo was so astounding.
That I will good sir, that I will... wait I thought you said your computer was moved for recording... how did you get internet in your basement... dude what... dude you crazy

WHY would you not get an unsubbed version if you're going to take the time to make something like this?!

@UnGato7 I hate it when people say things like this, its not as simple as just unsubbing.
its a case of either removing the subs, or downloading a raw or dubbed version
not everything can be done
just ignore the subs :/

@UnGato7 if you know how hard it is to make one then why are you commenting on the subs?
