Locking Up The Sun

This is my latest amv....and it came out really pixally X_X
After all that effort trying to get this thing uploaded, and the video quality gets killed? Lame...Watch in high quality, please.
Anywho, this is my new amv, made with Sony Vegas...I think I'm getting better, but I still could have done a lot better, especially when it comes to distributing the clips (ie more Doctor Who clips) and creating effects. I mean think about it, a song this EPIC deserves epic footage to go with it. Also, I've learned that I'm addicted to the FADE transition...but anyone whose seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xHgonSrFxU&feature=channel_page
I guess already knows that. Still, I liked how it turned out. Anywho, enjoy!

Song: Locking Up the Sun
Artist: Poets of the Fall
Clips from (and also possible SPOILER ALERTS for):
Full Metal Alchemist
Doctor Who
Chrono Crusade
Death Note
Spider-Man
Ouran High School Host Club
Jubie-Chan II
Evangelion
Yu Yu Hakusho
Gundam Wing
Sailor Moon
Final Fantasy X, X-2
Final Fantasy Advent Children
Naruto
Vampire Hunter D
Sonic X
Kingdom Hearts I, II

Note: I did get a lot of clips from AMVs, including jihaku's "Best of You" amv. I did my best to make this stand alone, but you can tell parts are from his in the beginning. If you happen to see this jihaku, and that is not alright with you, just let me know and I will be happy to take it down and change it.
Also, special thanks to YamikoNumber7 for letting me use some of the clips from her "Ordinary" AMV which you can see here:

@Lenduarm Why thank you! :)

[crappymovies]

kingdom hearts, gundam, yuyu hakisho, Sonic, naruto. final fantasy...damn all you need is some dragonball z and you got yourself the perfect mix! :D

kickass bro.

@beatingheartsbaby21 Maybe what'd work better is if I primarily AMV it and then animate only a few seconds/do a zoom-out that involves still characters (stock art or drawn).

That actually sounds really cool. I looked up the other song and I was like, "...New song for Riku's playlist y/y." I've never mixed songs like that before, so sadly I couldn't tell you, but that sounds like a great concept!

[beatingheartsbaby21]

@Rebmakash I think that sounds fantastic! If you ever find the time, you should totally give it a whirl :3

I've actually been wanting to make a remix of this song by mashing it up with a song called Don't Let Go by a band called Breaking Point, but I've never tried that before and I haven't really had the time to test it out. Not really sure how that would turn out, but I'd like to try it.

[Rebmakash]

Reeeeeaaaaally? :D Yeah, it really did fit so well. For a while I fiddled with the idea of a crazy project I could never finish by myself (I'd lose interest it would take so long). I wanted to stick the song in Garageband to edit it down to a minute and make what would look like the beginning section of a TV show. Then would come hand-animating, cleanup, backgrounds and coloring... Yeah, hundreds of drawings, can't. -.-

@Rebmakash It is Kia, actually. I started working on this amv, and I'm pretty sure that's how this song made it onto a few Daisychain FSTs. Kia wants to make a specifically Daisychain AMV to this song because it fits so well. I'm glad the vid reminds you of all the good times in that game. You are very welcome! Glad something I made actually makes other people feel good :)

[Rebmakash]

REALLY?! Who? GG? Brit?  Not Lynx or Kia. Well, either way this makes me very nostalgic and in a good way. Thank you.

[Rebmakash]

O.o WAIT, what mod was this?! GG? Brit?

[beatingheartsbaby21]

@Rebmakash Daisychain? No way! My roommate was a mod for that game. She always spoke very fondly of it before it ended a few months ago. I'm glad you enjoyed the vid. :3
