[Winner Of AKROSS Con 2010] SilentMan - Drawn Dream

[MichaelGreyVlogs]

This was kinda amazing. And I'm not even a big fan of anime. I'm glad I clicked on this though (:

[TheAnticommunist101]

Started watching this anime because of this AMV too.

[Davidoviec]

Like if you started watching Natsume Yuujinchou because of this AMV :D

[Nuxdiamic]

wow..

[lkli3]

wow 15 people are blind and deaf and dont know talent when they hear or see it

[bleachruleshollow]

*claps* beautiful amv well deserving of first place

[ArturTheDog]

Wow *O*

That's magical!

Oh my God that's amazing *O*

I have never seen such a beautiful, highly detailed, deliberate and simply terrific AMV!!! *O*

Creator is a genious!!!*O*

[loveandcatastrophes]

Very well deserved first place. This is fresh, lush and beautiful, and also very accurately depicts the anime's spirit.

[Tallymark3]

I liked it , but I liked the video that ended up 3rd place better. Still this is very nice :)

[MangaXp]

It's just an awesome and a beatiful video, I like it =) ^^!!!

[Sunnyfeather23]

Wow....I see why this won. It tells a story, and even if you've never seen the show, you can follow the storyline. It's one of those things where you notice something new or think of something new each time you watch it :)

[MangaXp]

Very nice video =), there is a good rythm and it is original^^!

[TheGreatNinjaSmilie]

I see why this won :D

[katarablaine]

This amv is really beautiful! <3 I've never seen anything like it! It must have been really really hard to make this one

[deameous]

it's obvious the reasons why this amv won, the time it had to take to make must have been insane...

[Barock3]

I want to know what goes on in his mind, since he made this of a dream.

[animeshniza666]

just WOW

[DeloreanFanatic]

the 5 people who disliked this do not understand art in any shape or form...how could anyone not like this? 10/10!!!!

[TheNaveOfCharlemagne]

*face palm* I must be tired, but the first thing that popped into my head at 1:44 was that Natsume was thinking 'Ah, pretty girl.'"

[MrAkross]

Поразительно о_О

[TheNaveOfCharlemagne]

This video is EPIC! SilenMan is a genius. I absolutely love the special affects and the story. I wish I had dreams like that. This makes me want to see that new season of Natsume Yuujinchou even more! Cannot wait for the 4th of July!

[FanofEverythingz]

Epic: Check!

Favorite-able: Check!

Likeable: Check!

Interesting: Check!

Worthy of winning: FREAKING CHECK!! <3

[GiniPhobiac]

I just wanted to say that as an artist that draws, this really touched me. It's absolutely amazing to see characters grow more and more to life and become more real; but in the end, they're all just fictional (and a dream).

I don't know what else to say. It's a bit hard for me to explain why I love this AMV or series so much, I just do ;___;

I think the creator has done a wonderful job in carrying this idea out. Maybe I feel a bit nonstalgic when watching this? ;u;

[GiniPhobiac]

I really love this. Maybe it's because I've watched the anime or because I like the song.. but this has been done wonderfully.

When I watched it for the first time, I didn't notice the video was supposed to be a dream until I've reached the end. But that's good, isn't it? Because Natsume didn't seem to notice that either.

I love how everything is 'drawn' out like that. As if the more and more the video builds up, the more the characters and settings come to life.

Wanted to comment more;; argh

[moon920221]

oh my god after traumerei amv by umika..now this one is really, really cool!!!!!X3

[mythprincess45]

I love this AMV! It deserved to win : )

[123thecooldood]

WOWWWW<3

[BazinglyLewis]

I see why it won in a category

[Yoshiinari]

Love this AMV! ♥

No matter how many times I watch it, I still love it soooo much! ♥♥♥

[Blaide011]

plz show uw the making of :D

[MetalDarkVidz]

awesome!!!!!

[ShadowGin3]

Wow!!! awesome love how the person made it without the singing and just the melody blend it Perfectly!

[XxLilsupasayanxX]

Splendid:D

[tenow]

very hard work put into these effects, but they really look boring to me ( Plot has nothing to do with them too, also its plain and have been used more than enough times. Unfortunately I did mot understand japanese used in this AMV, maybe if I did, it would make more sense to me

[eake4]

@tenow try understanding the flow of this amv, it should help, also try to understand what its trying to tell :D

[superhda]

I can see why this vid won. Great job.

[breXmovies]

shit renderquali

[jtai91]

How can anyone dislike this AMV, simply marvelous. It took a underrated series and turned into something that everyone wants to watch now, Applause to the Author.

[TheRyliks]

@jtai91 well not everyone xD i wud only wanna watch trailers to see the footage used in the original etc. buuut the theme basically does not interest all people so yea ( i mean theres ppl wanting shonen shojou ... and then more sub categories and bla bla bla and ppl that dislike certain themes such as those spiritual beings etc. )

[FiroFee]

this is the best amv of this anime with great atmosphere. thanks to author, really! so love this anime...

[TheShatteredPieces]

EPIC.

[cjones01]

From what I have noticed, in the moving scenes, some of the characters don't belong to that scene. Some of them actually are from another episode. I am amazed!

[SupaKaream]

cool.

[alchemyboy54321]

Even if you know what program he used, you need very long practice to make amv's like this. Akross is the "group" of the best amv makers in all europe. They work very long and very hard to make a creative and nice jobs like this one.

[MentalProdigy]

Very original! (: Loved it!

[ostacolidelcuore]

OMG *__*

I wanna know which program he did use :O

[u1n2k3n4o5w6n7]

@ostacolidelcuore I think he used photoshop and after effects (or final cut studio) these programs use 3D layers

[ostacolidelcuore]

@u1n2k3n4o5w6n7 wow,I didn't know it was possible to make these things too with Photoshop O.O

Btw amazing :O

[Anubis3200]

A bit hard to tell what was edited here... except obviouse step by step drawing and image quality... need to take a look at the series in order to completly appraciated this work.

[xSangoSan195]

Epic. Hopefully this will help get Natsume Yuujinchou more fans. Such an under-appreciated series.

[Alegend23]

OMG!!! what is this!??! *dies* this is freaking amazing!! those effects were so original!! aggghhh!! This was so good, that I immediately looked this anime up and am gonna watch it tonight =D! Congratulations!!

[W0W1359]

very nice. i haven't seen anything like this before

[Crypticize]

really really coool O.O

[TwooGiz]

I'm getting into After Effects and was just wondering if at 1:27 if the editor masked the layers apart from each other then applied the layers as 3D layers then dragged them apart according to how he wanted. Then added color adding effects with keyframes and such. Could an AE wiz confirm this for me?

[flowerxofxevil]

how the hell did he do this O.o amazing x3

[KirbyCrossing]

Natsume is epic.

[jurnelio]

this was awesome loved the effects and everything

[leviathantm]
