Tribute to J3P films "The Blue Crystal"

A friend of mine asked me to try my hand at making a music video for his lego stop motion animation video of "The Blue Crystal". This is the result. It was quite the challenge indeed and it took some time to complete. I did take some liberties with the original video edit made by J3P Films and you can find it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kUMiVHFmIo

The amount of time and energy that goes into stop motion film animation is vast!..and I don't even pretend to know how to do it so my hat's off to Jack for such an endeavor.

I want to thank Jack at J3P films for sending the original edit and allowing me to create this tribute.

The song used was "Devour" preformed by "Shinedown"

My dear friend and mentor....if this doesn't prove that you are a genuine master...I don't know what would....this tribute was clearly beyond painstaking....the power of editing is aptly displayed here....you are the king of the liquid edit..smooth as glass...I'm a bit more rocky road...lol.....outstanding vision, as always!

LOL....Thank you so much....It was painstaking to complete but not as much as the original film was to make...I wouldn't want to undertake such a project like that..Jack did a fantastic job...the more videos I see the more I realize everyone has a unique editing style...I thing I like your so much because it's different than most....truly outstanding.

This is a brilliant edit, really like the effects you chose!

A wonderful musical tribute to an outstanding film.

[darkstarkc99]

Thank you, I agree the original film was outstanding. I can't imagine how much time he put into the creation.

@darkstarkc99 More than welcome, Trevor!!

[darkstarkc99]

Thanks so very much :) I'm very happy you enjoyed it.

LOL....I guess you liked it then....lol..I'm so happy :)) I had a lot of fun making it. Every video I make, I usually learn something about the editing process. But for this one I learned a lot, especially "Masking". OH!.... and thanks for mentioning the special effects. I Never know if they will catch the viewers eye or pass them by completely. :)
