a song of ice and fire with effects

[alexpascu2785]

Its a Masterpiece well done

[dumbtardface]

i think you did a masterful job

[Watcher40000]

nice work. could have done with a few more images of other main characters, but that is a minor complaint. great use of music. very atmospheric.

[Malsavaidity]

this is so beautiful!!

[dumbtardface]

unfortunately, the one person who gave this vid a thumbs down is going to hell

[espanoles10]

What is the name of the song?

[nicholsml]

@espanoles10

by Apocalyptica (Metallica cover)

[espanoles10]

@nicholsml Thanks

[lunaverna]

2:21 who's that? Lannister. Jamie? Heading to King's Landing?

[PlayerVsPlayer]

when will the pilot be aired for the first time?

[nicholsml]

People are guesstimating that the series will premiere early 2011. The pilot gets approved/disapproved this march though.

[LusitanDevil]

And nothing else matters.....

[xxxlll666]

tnx for that, appriciate it.

I'll try it out.

[nicholsml]

no problem

Let me know how it goes, or send me a message if yah need any help

[xxxlll666]

What program did u use for editing?

[nicholsml]

Adobe After-Effects.

I do have to say that my "After Effects" skills have vastly improved since I did this. Remaking the video and fixing all the flaws and the aspect ratio is on my to-do list.

[nicholsml]

Oh and I put the clips together in Windows Movie maker, mostly because I like the WMV and AVI format more then the MOV format.

[xxxlll666]

Im new to this so I'd like to know if you need 2 programs for something like u did?

A compositing program like Adobe effects and then another editing program?

What would u suggest?

Otherwise, I've just got myself Cyberlink Powerdirector 8.

[nicholsml]

I would use Adobe After Effects and Windows Movie maker. After Effects is a must have for good amateur video editing, movie maker is just what I prefer to use to put my edited clips into one movie file.

So I would recommend after effects, also search for "after effects tutorials" here on youtube! So many tutorials on how to do some awesome stuff.

Windows movie maker is a free program that comes with windows btw.

[nicholsml]

Also the only program you "actually need" is After effects, I only use movie maker because I like using it, but after effects can do everything all in one.

Excellent video, and nice music pic to go along with the images. I get shivers just imagining what the show could look like on HBO, if the powers that be finally take a chance on fantasy for TV! I really hope HBO does the right think and picks up this a series! I really hope "A Song Of Ice And Fire" does for TV what "The Lord Of The Rings", did for movies...namely raise the bar very, very, very high!

[nicholsml]

I completely agree. I have a feeling that the series is gonna be awesome and get picked up. Hey we can't go wrong, Dinklage is Tyrion!!!!

[nicholsml]

Have yah seen my Hodor video?

[Tclones1]

Nice video, the fire and ice series is and will always be my favorite . I just hope HBO will do it justice.

[vger1970]

awesome thank you for the video

[nicholsml]

TY :), I'm gonna re-encode this so it fits 720p and fix some of the textures I used in after effects, now all I gotta do is find my project file!!

[datolomia]

Great Video Indeed,

Love SOIAF, love this Music

5 stars

[nicholsml]

your awesome thank you :)

I'm really excited about the HBO series of SOIF coming out next year!

[Skippythefish]

This was great and I tihnk the music was a good choice.

[Aizaz24]

I agree the effects do add something to the pictures, but you need some better music. Something more dramatic would suit Westeros, instead of this serene music.

[nicholsml]

Metallica is not serene!!! :)

[Aizaz24]

As a band absolutely not, but the song is serene.

[nicholsml]

Very good point, I concede.

[QTZMOM]

EPIC. Love it. Posted it to by FB with a 6 star rating (i know there are only 5 stars)

[nicholsml]

TY :)

[KingRobbStark]

Song?

[KingRobbStark]

Its metallica, sorry for the brain fart, but hey look at the bright side, you've got two comments :)

[nicholsml]

:) lol

[nicholsml]

It's appocolyptica playing a cover of "nothing else matters" by Metallica. They are an awesome band, they play metal songs on four Cello's.

[KingRobbStark]

I know, I searched for the cover the first time I heard the song (via your video).

[RandomBlaOfDoom]

HBO better not screw it up tbh, becouse it's either going to be great or an epic fail. there's just nothing in between with these kinds of things

[nicholsml]

I completely agree

[Atheos1]

damn good job, hey, i heard your going to make an epic of hodor, any truth to that?
