About the video:
I've been working on this for a little over 5 months now, I did the best I could and for the first time ever I didn't cut corners. With that said, I hope my hard work pays off ;D
Now for the issues:
I ran into a few things that were simply out of my control, like the quality of the music video for one. But it's to be expected since the music video was compiled from fan-submitted footage; so I had to do my best to work around it. One thing that particularly stands out is that the entire first part of the amv is in grayscale. This is gonna be one of those hit or miss situations but I felt it was necessary to match my editing with the music video (since most of it is in grayscale). Another thing that will be hit or miss is my use of pan/crops. I feel that I effectively used pan/crops throughout most of the video, but then again that's based on what I was trying to portray. I tried to replicate the "shaky-hand" effect that home footage usually has and I think I got it right at some parts and failed miserably at others; but I guess that's for you to decide now.


I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, even if you hate it, so be sure to leave comments :3

Note: Special thanks to Kristyn, Jon, Pete, SpringL, Ruby, Alex (Taite), Melissa, and everyone else who beta tested for me. And a second big thanks to Pete for encoding the HD version :3

*I will name an anime on request but do not comment simply to ask about the anime(s) I used or you will be ignored (so in other words, be sure to include comments about the video along with your question).

This is the one I saw at the Kon, isn't it? Made me cry a little bit. :D

[xlopezfranciscox2]

@SneezingSquirrel What con did you see it at? D:

I'm glad that you liked it, did it really make you cry though? xP

[leanintoweropower]

i was view 350... its been 5 months... this should have hit 10,000 41/2 months ago:)

[xlopezfranciscox2]

@leanintoweropower Sorry for the late reply, I must have missed your comment. I'm surprised that it even reached 10,000 so I'm really happy about that haha.

This is so amazing. You really did create something beautiful. It's like, you brought all of these animes together, and unified them. I've never even seen more than half of these animes. The only ones I could recognize were Naruto, RomeoxJuliet, Jyu-oh-sei, and I think I also saw Air Gear. I could never make an AMV like this. Whenever I do make an AMV It's always with one show. Aweosme Job man. Like and favorited. :D

[xlopezfranciscox2]

@Sigfee Thanks alot! Sorry for the incredibly late reply, I haven't been very active lately.

[xlopezfranciscox2]

@aerotem Good luck with that ;P

[SneezingSquirrel]

@xlopezfranciscox2 I keep thinking I've replied to this... maybe YT is glitching. I think it was Akon 2011. And yes, I cried. My friend looked over and was all: "Are you crying for real??" Me: "Shutttt upppp..."

Well done, my friend.

This amv is so amazing and beautiful!!! I like how you linked the anime world with the real world. Everything just fits so perfectly together >< The most beautiful amv I have ever seen!

[Ayame666Wolvez]

This is so, so beautiful!! It made me want to cry and hug you. It just makes me feel all warm and happy, you truly have an amazing talent. You've taken such different animes, with different plot lines and artwork and have made something universally beautiful.

Adding the real people- this is genius. It's such a clever idea, that makes it even more amazing!!
