You hardly need one more puny award among more outstanding ones, but for what it's worth, this was video #1 on my list of ten best Final Fantasy fanvids ever. :)
Google "Ten Amazing Final Fantasy AMVs" for the whole set.
This video could actually have trivia. Like, where does the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man show up? Which Gackt clone is featured? How many NPCs were killed by strange weather patterns? What comes in adult sizes?
Yes, yes, I just had to go through it with the pause-button. O.o;;
And lemme add one more thing. sorry for multi-posting... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE TEXT IN THE NEWSPAPER. About fangirls and stuff. LOL! it is really the angst.
See, that's why I took such great glee in putting this video together, because there's people out there who get a kick out of rummaging through it to find stuff like that. :)
If you haven't already seen it, there is an image gallery available of all the custom graphics in this video - just visit the link in the info section and follow another link to the gallery.
yeah. I searched for this video on the AMV website. the image gallery came up. I loved it even more up close. HAH! My sister's obssessed with this vid after i showed her.
I'm obsessed too! The "cross the streams" refrence was the best as well as Reno saying in the interview "We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass". I also loved the first headline, with the "DESTROYER".
I can't take tons of credit for the stream reference - it's the one and only thing in this AMV that didn't come wholly from my own gray matter. I had wanted to include something along those lines and asked a fellow editor if they had any ideas how to do so - "Don't cross the lifestream" was what they came up with and I immediately knew it was perfect. :)
@Driftroot Thank you. It was those brilliant newspaper spoofs that made me have to concede this is even better than Unknown Solider -- it's the only AMV where you have to use the pausebutton to enjoy it even more. And oh, I think I may need one of those for a desktop background. *goes to look*
If you're hankering for a closer look and something to keep on your desktop, I did put up an image gallery of many of the special additions to this video. Just visit the link provided in the video description to find the link to this gallery.
And, as always, you're welcome for making this video!! Nothing makes me happier than to know it's out there, doing what it was made to do: entertain!
Ah...ok. I almost never know 'Bustin has been played somewhere until someone leaves a comment saying they've seen it. The only cons I've ever personally sent it to were the five competitions it was in last year, but a lot of folks tend to assume I've sent it to many more b/c it's been screened other places. Thus, it's all news to me when 'Bustin is shown somewhere and I have to ask where you saw it and in what context. :)
No - for a lot of reasons - and if I were to do a remake, I would only use the "complete" version of AC if I felt it contributed significantly to the end product, which at this point I do not feel it would.
I love the video as it is. I remember this quite well as I and two of my friends at Sakuracon literally fell out of the line of chairs howling at this.
That must have been some screening - I recall hearing the Best of Show /Comedy winner inspired howling and empty seats as well. I would have loved to have seen all of that! :)
Yes, that's what Cloud & Co. said as well when I informed them that I was going to ruin their little party by delving into my Hits of the 80's CD collection. They were like "Hey! We're cool Japanese icons of angst, you can't DO that to us! It's just so wrong!" and I was like "YEAH, it IS wrong, that's why I'm going to do it!"
And they're not "cartoons," they're CG video game spinoffs. :P
Considering it had every screening of it at the cons it was entered at literally howling with laughter (including people from SquareEnix itself in the audience watching)...
k guys, that's enough. This is not the first and will not be the last time someone has had something less than positive to say about my video, which is perfectly fine since everyone's entitled to their own opinion...just don't start coming down on people FOR sharing their opinion.
I know this has been repeated already but truly NOTHING BUT THE MOST WIN EVER!!! YOU WIN ALL OF THE INTERNETS!!! That was my public service message...
I have made other AMVs, although none on quite this scale. At the moment this is also the only one I've put on YouTube. My other videos can be found by visiting the site (animemusicvideos...) mentioned in the info section to the right. :)
Thanks for all the kudos, everyone! To address the overall question of how long it took me to make this, that would be more than 200 hours. To put it in perspective, though, about 30 seconds worth of video took me more than 100 hours to make and overall this thing is just over 4 minutes long. Visit this video's full description (link is in the Info section on right) for the nitty gritty. :)
Yeah I remember seeing this at the con! I couldn't believe it! Right in my own town!! You did a very good job! Were you present for the showing of this AMV?
It's ok, most people assume I'm a guy, but that was the first time I've been called more than one! :D Glad you liked the AMV. I'm hoping to make another AC spoof-ish video this year...but we'll see.
I managed to catch this in the AMV room at Tekko '08. My friends and I sat down and started to sing and laugh our asses off while people around us either stared or sang along XD
I voted for Comedy and Overall and I'm glad to see you won in both >3
Glad you liked it! It's nice to know it's still entertaining folks after being out for awhile. :D
I'm not sure what you mean by the AC clips. All the FF7 video/images in the AMV (except for Sephiroth's NY Post cover and Cloud's phone ad) were taken from either AC itself or the Dirge of Cerberus FMVs.
Was that at AB? I've heard a lot of dancing goes on when something fun is shown during the masquerade. Maybe some year they'll pan the audience/backstage when everyone is really getting into an AMV. That would be hilarious. :D
*Just called that number and said "Hello is ghostbusters there" WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP CALLING ME MY NAME IS NOT BUSTER ITS ERMA!! ERMA!!! (seriously that just happened)
In retrospect, I somewhat regret using an actual number. The numbers stand for something, but most people don't pay close enough attention or bother to figure out what, so I suspect that - as one of the most obscure in-jokes in this entire AMV - it is actually TOO obscure to even be found amusing. And even if someone figures out what the numbers mean, they probably still won't get it the way I intended. Oh well.
I thought I'd misread that first Youmacon post down there when "Top AMVs" panel was mentioned, but I guess I didn't since other people are confirming that's the panel 'Bustin was shown at. LOL Thanks for letting me know, guys, it's great to hear that people are enjoying this video.
Anyone know what other AMVs were on that list? I haven't seen anything posted at the Youmacon forums, yet.
Really? Youmacon, huh? Thanks for letting me know!! I usually find out secondhand that it's been shown at a con...and usually by someone who posts a comment here, so I really appreciate any and all feedback "from the field." (Otherwise I have no idea what my AMV is up to, out there, and I kind of like to know).
its probably been said to death, but the mouth covering at 2:47 just draws more attention to the lip flap...love this vid, i voted for you at anime boston 08!
1. I meant to draw attention to it (see #3 below).
2. Almost no one comments on it, but those who do either think it's perfect or incredibly stupid.
3. It's neither perfect or stupid in my book, b/c I failed to notice Yazoo was speaking in that scene until zero hour and this was just my kneejerk reaction. A big part of my goal with 'Bustin was undermining or making fun of AC AMV stereotypes, and since the lip flap issue is one of those, that's how 2:47 ties in.
Most of the "effects" in this video are just straightforward editing techniques taken to an extreme level, and in that respect most video editing programs can duplicate them (not WMM, thoguh). Try it yourself. :) The editor I used was Premiere Pro. After Effects was used only for the masking on the cell phone scene.
Yeah, although I still don't know how it jumped the pond and wound up in Europe. It's a little tricky to be proud of something you bear no responsibility for. :)
:) yea it i know what you mean, but you're responsible for the amv do you do have that and it would be cool to see how it got to germany in the first place
Most likely someone downloaded it, but the video (as I understand it) also is part of an offline database that includes the high-quality video sent to Tekkoshocon, so that's also a possibility. There are a few different versions of this AMV out there with subtle differences in content, so I'm always curious as to which - exactly - was shown. It's kind of funny, I can track down the video's origins by evaluating what version it is (I never planned this, it just turned out that way). :)
Well that's the problem when I don't even know it's being shown somewhere - I have no idea HOW it's being shown. I'd really only take issue with that if someone else was taking credit for making my video, but - given the fact that you can find it on the Web fairly easily under my name - that's not likely to happen *KNOCKS ON WOOD*.
I know it was at Anime Boston this year, and it rocked! Getting to see it was amazing! Its inspiring me to make my own for AB09, even though Im only doing mine on windows movie maker.
That's great! I spent many years in awe of the AMV competition at AB - I thought it would be absolutely awesome to be part of that sort of event. 'Bustin was pretty much made exclusively with that goal in mind. Getting into the finals and seeing it at the con, plus winning an award, was quite mind boggling, but I guess it just goes to show that if you work really hard at something, it can pay off. :) Good luck with your video!
I used Premiere Pro and After Effects for the video editing. All the graphics and things were done in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop (in that order - this is not a Photoshop-intensive AMV). :)
Whoa...it was in Germany?? LOL It's always surprising when I learn it's been shown somewhere I had no idea it was. My AMV gets around a heck of a lot more than I do, that's for sure. :)
The only competitions/cons I've sent 'Bustin to are the five listed here. I know it's been shown (with and without my knowledge) at other events, though, and probably will again in the future. (I really wish people would ask permission to screen it, or at the very least let me know it will be/was screened. It's very hard to keep track of, otherwise.)
Was 'Bustin part of the AMV competition at Animagic or just part of a general AMV showing? If it's the former, then that's a big problem.
Oh, it was just at the AMV showing. As far as I know, there are no AMV competitions at Animagic. Yeah, it would be annoying to have your AMV shown without you knowing. If I see it again, I'll tell ya ^___^
i watched this and finally realized something funny. sephiroth was a ghost the whole time. advent children has proven that you can in fact kill the undead. and the mother-complexes but meh

Another one here who saw it at Youmacon, and was just blown away. Well done!

I thought I'd misread that first Youmacon post down there when "Top AMVs" panel was mentioned, but I guess I didn't since other people are confirming that's the panel 'Bustin was shown at. LOL Thanks for letting me know, guys, it's great to hear that people are enjoying this video.
Anyone know what other AMVs were on that list? I haven't seen anything posted at the Youmacon forums, yet.

Thanks to MPHtails for the video listing. It looks like there was quite a variety of videos shown. :)

They played this at the Top AMVs panel at Youmacon Friday, and this was the one video we all remembered after the con was over. Instant classic.
MPHtails 3 years ago
Really? Youmacon, huh? Thanks for letting me know!! I usually find out secondhand that it's been shown at a con...and usually by someone who posts a comment here, so I really appreciate any and all feedback "from the field." (Otherwise I have no idea what my AMV is up to, out there, and I kind of like to know).
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

its probably been said to death, but the mouth covering at 2:47 just draws more attention to the lip flap...love this vid, i voted for you at anime boston 08!
scriblr386 3 years ago
^_^ Thanks!
Few things here:
1. I meant to draw attention to it (see #3 below).
2. Almost no one comments on it, but those who do either think it's perfect or incredibly stupid.
3. It's neither perfect or stupid in my book, b/c I failed to notice Yazoo was speaking in that scene until zero hour and this was just my kneejerk reaction. A big part of my goal with 'Bustin was undermining or making fun of AC AMV stereotypes, and since the lip flap issue is one of those, that's how 2:47 ties in.

Amazing vid! Funny, and well-done and it made sense (for a given value of sense...) Definitely one of the best.

Wow! Great vid. I'd love to get my hands on the video editing program this was made with!
haasa813 3 years ago
Most of the "effects" in this video are just straightforward editing techniques taken to an extreme level, and in that respect most video editing programs can duplicate them (not WMM, thoguh). Try it yourself. :) The editor I used was Premiere Pro. After Effects was used only for the masking on the cell phone scene.

ha cool amv and wow it was at germany you must be proud
cujoenyo 3 years ago
Yeah, although I still don't know how it jumped the pond and wound up in Europe. It's a little tricky to be proud of something you bear no responsibility for. :)
Driftroot 3 years ago
:) yea it i know what you mean, but you're responsible for the amv do you do have that and it would be cool to see how it got to germany in the first place
cujoenyo 3 years ago
Most likely someone downloaded it, but the video (as I understand it) also is part of an offline database that includes the high-quality video sent to Tekkoshocon, so that's also a possibility. There are a few different versions of this AMV out there with subtle differences in content, so I'm always curious as to which - exactly - was shown. It's kind of funny, I can track down the video's origins by evaluating what version it is (I never planned this, it just turned out that way). :)
Driftroot 3 years ago
thats cool, but i hope they give you credit if they play it so far away. i mean you deserve it
cujoenyo 3 years ago
Well that's the problem when I don't even know it's being shown somewhere - I have no idea HOW it's being shown. I'd really only take issue with that if someone else was taking credit for making my video, but - given the fact that you can find it on the Web fairly easily under my name - that's not likely to happen *KNOCKS ON WOOD*.

I know it was at Anime Boston this year, and it rocked! Getting to see it was amazing! Its inspiring me to make my own for AB09, even though Im only doing mine on windows movie maker.

That's great! I spent many years in awe of the AMV competition at AB - I thought it would be absolutely awesome to be part of that sort of event. 'Bustin was pretty much made exclusively with that goal in mind. Getting into the finals and seeing it at the con, plus winning an award, was quite mind boggling, but I guess it just goes to show that if you work really hard at something, it can pay off. :) Good luck with your video!
Driftroot 3 years ago
Thank you much! I really want to see mine on the screen at Ab '09 It would make me feel like I can acomplish something!

nice amv
I love 2:07-2:20 LOLz
BTW: What software did you use???
mojaX7 3 years ago
I used Premiere Pro and After Effects for the video editing. All the graphics and things were done in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop (in that order - this is not a Photoshop-intensive AMV). :)

I saw this AMV at Animagic in Germany, this was definitely may favourite out of all! XD I'm so glad I found it again ^__^
animemaster446 3 years ago
Whoa...it was in Germany?? LOL It's always surprising when I learn it's been shown somewhere I had no idea it was. My AMV gets around a heck of a lot more than I do, that's for sure. :)
Driftroot 3 years ago
Yeah! It was in Germany! I'm guessing then that you didn't enter it yourself...? haha, it sure is popular then XD
animemaster446 3 years ago
The only competitions/cons I've sent 'Bustin to are the five listed here. I know it's been shown (with and without my knowledge) at other events, though, and probably will again in the future. (I really wish people would ask permission to screen it, or at the very least let me know it will be/was screened. It's very hard to keep track of, otherwise.)
Was 'Bustin part of the AMV competition at Animagic or just part of a general AMV showing? If it's the former, then that's a big problem.
Driftroot 3 years ago
Oh, it was just at the AMV showing. As far as I know, there are no AMV competitions at Animagic. Yeah, it would be annoying to have your AMV shown without you knowing. If I see it again, I'll tell ya ^___^

i loved how when it first played & Sephiroth appeared & my friends & i were thinking how this was comedy & then the ghost busters music starting
we couldnt stop laughing throughout the whole thing
most of all it seemed different then other comedy amvs & it was very cool to see a comedy amv take a new approach
