when they said it would be a genre unto itself i thought (in a few years they'll be loads and all the same) and i was wrong... god knows how many years later and it still stands tall and proud a genre unto itself.
Awesome amv!! Clocks works perfectly with how you edited everything! And Cowboy Bebop is the all time BEST anime evah hands down hehe... Alot of people dont realize the actual story.. is a love story..
@Xfonic I think it's more of a story about how everyone confronts their pasts, How it defines them, or how it impacts their lives. Spike's is definitely the focal point of this example. I think the fact that he had a lover served as a way to get the tragedy of his past across. It made it much more heart wrenching and poignant. I don't think that at its core it is a love story. But I guess that depends on the viewer's perspective.
@Xfonic I don't think it's as simple as a love story though. As he said when he left Faye, he's not going to die, he's going to see if he's still alive. I think it's more a story of how we pause our lives at times, and just stay in a daze until we deal with it. Spike's only way to deal with it was head on, much like the rest of his life. He hadn't "lived" for most of the series, just wasn't dead.
It's a cartoon, so he can't really die, as he's a cartoon character. And since Bebop is such a classic anime, with such a huge impact on the genre, then I'd say this series will be on collectors shelves 50 years from now. In that sense, Spike really will live forever, and will always, ALWAYS be cool.
(If this doesn't sit right with you, I'll accept classic denial; it keeps me happy ^^)
I didn't cry, I just have something in my eyes. Outstanding video - very well done! Love the scene when Julia is shot (damn eyes!). Favorited - 25 out 5 stars! By the way - that falling star thing: That wasn't Spike, it was Gren's ship burning up in the atmos. We never know if Spike died - last scene (I believe) was Spike falling on the steps.
I found myself being reminded of your amv when I heard the song in the radio, which is a great compliment. =D I do not think that you actually intended that the amv turned out to be as good as I think it is, as you surely don't have the necessary experience. But the combination of Cowboy Bebop and Clocks works absolutely perfectly for me, and I absolutely love the scenes of Julia and Spike you picked out.
@Sareille Thank you so much for the compliment! I did this so long ago and I still find it interesting how people are still commenting on it. I've gotten so much better with editing videos but I just don't have time to make AMVs anymore. :( Anyway thank you, you are amazing. lol
He didn't die. They left it hanging so that the viewer could decide. He just collapsed after a huge fight, but he's done that throughout the series, and had worse injuries and survived. The whole star falling thing, well it was only one star and by my reckoning Vicious could definitely be called a warrior. This viewer decides that Spike Spiegel will live forever, as the epitome of all that is 'cool'!
@Fox57 I like to believe that Death Note is equal to Cowboy Bebop in terms of how well made they are mixed with their serious nature. They're both outstanding works.
I would take an AMV to be an artform. It applies music to certain scenes to evoke an emotional response. The choice of music is entirely appropriate if the artist wills it to be.
I think that his death was the least depressing, I think the most tear-jerking story-line was Faye Valentines, I almost cried at those videos of her childhood - it was sad for me knowing that she could never experience feelings like that again, and neither could she remember them.
I like to think Faye Valentine adapted to her new life pretty well considering her amnesia. In a way, I think Faye found peace with the fact that she couldn't live the life she had years ago.
Plus, who wouldn't give it all up to cruise space with the Bebop krew. (I woulda convinced ed&ein to stay lol)
NO! This was a well-made AMV, almost everyhting synced, and it synced quite well. But this is cowboy bebop. For those who havent seen this anime, the song does not fit the tune of the anime as a whole. Everything fit and synced but the voice of cowboy bebop is not clocks and never will be. You are good at AMV's, but try using this song elsewhere.
What you say does ring true, but at the same time you can be seen as wrong. Cowboy Bebop is very musically influenced and they tried to take from every musical genre they could. So having said that I don't think any music wouldn't suit Spike and the gang providing it was well edited.
Personally I just don't like this song, it has nothing to do with the AMV, I've heard it way too many times and now I hate it.
This AMV is really well edited though. Nice work Icharus15.
at 2:31 though, its one of the best parts of the song, and i think you can do more with this video than show a game of pool...Anything. I like the scene with julia falling, but other parts dont fit. The music syncs, but it could be better
"You know nothing about Cowboy Bebop" is a bit off. He said it was intense- and it is. Nothing in Cowboy Bebop ever seems to drag. As pretty as this video is- it does drag a bit.
This was a great amv. It was very well edited and directed. and a great choice of song and anime. Also I don't know that IndigoAviators is talking about. I think it matched great with Spike's back story. Good Job.
i guaran-damn-tee you that cowbow bebop isnt just a fast paced shoot-em-up anime. the maker didn't have to slow down a single scene in the whole video. it has its fast parts, but a good portion is slow paced.
That was pretty brilliant, especially for a first AMV. The part where Julia is falling to the end of the song was brilliant, nearly made me cry (again). Dammit, I have to watch that series again! Where'd I put those dvds :P
realy very gd! if ud said u wer doin a cowboy bebop amv wiv sum coldpaly i wud hav laughd but this is really gd! very wel put togeether wiv the music 5/5
the video itself is decent, and sort of just lingers on, like the song, without anything amazing happening,
but I really love the first like twenty or so seconds of this AMV. So surreal
