Franz Ferdinand "This Fire" Gundam Seed Music Video (AMV)

[CapnLexCrunch]

I thoroughly enjoyed the inclusion of sound effects to keep it from being boring; very interesting decision, though it could have been executed better. Still a cool, creative, and overall entertaining AMV. Very rare.

@CapnLexCrunch Thank you for your comments. I'll first say that the inclusion of the sound effects is much more difficult than one first realizes. Most scenes couldn't use the original audio so I had to search the rest of the 100 episodes of Seed and Destiny for identical effects without music, or voices, etc. When editing, on my setup (speakers, EQ, etc) and to my ears, the effects sounded right. But you also tune out the song after heaing it about 200 times.

@StalinM41 I would know, I've done that kind of thing before. It is a bit demanding, but definitely worth it, but I don't think it's as hard as you make it out to be as long as you mute any other audio tracks in the project and know where all the action scenes are.

@CapnLexCrunch No, putting in the sound effects wasn't bad at all. Like I said, just finding them in the anime with no other sound in the anime audio track, as usually all the good combat scenes have some sort of music playing the in background, so, its the more obscure combat scenes that have a "pure" sound effect. Then I have to harvest it from that episode, then make a library of sound effects, then edit them in.

@CapnLexCrunch If you did like this, then I suggest you check out my other videos, especially Knights of Cydonia.

Franz Ferdinand + Gundam SEED?

Win.

Very Interesting concept... What exactly were you trying to show here??? Didn't completely understand the point...

[StalinM41]

I make videos in such a way that follows the song. As I said in the description, I am showing power progession shown in the series, although not necessarly in the order introduced in the anime. And I am just trying to make a decent video to follow the song as best as I can with the constraints of the anime material itself. But it comes down to what I see in the series that makes me think of this song.

Oh now I understand. It gives this a different flair and mystery to it. But I do like how you came up with the Idea. Please do more of these..

[StalinM41]

Well, check on my channel. I have 4 other videos along these lines. One for Outlaw Star and another for Code Geass. I am currently working on my 8th video, but not all have been posted on youtube due to copyright

more song... less anime/mecha sounds effects... not bad otherwise

Nice Video

[ForgedVibe]

tune those clip sounds down a bit ith all u can hear

[StalinM41]

I would like to, but, every individual clip would need edited and I lost the original working project files. And, I calibrate to my ears on my sound system, but, I agree, they could be turned down some.
