Suspension - Jounouchi x Mai

"Someone Else's Arms" (0:00-0:08) and "Suspension" by Mae, from their album "The Everglow". Yuugiou (c) Kazuki Takahashi and TV Tokyo.

If you like Mae, I've got another AMV to a song by them, "Ready and Waiting to Fall", also from the album "The Everglow": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrOoskajGAU&feature=player_embedded

This video started as an experiment in Windows Movie Maker effects. Some things, like the opening 20 seconds, I'm really proud of, and other things, like the whole last chorus after "your eyes tell the same" I tried really hard on and still don't look good.

Most of the effects I used in this video were sepia tone, bloom in, and various zoom tools. In my first AMV, I used sepia whenever I was lip synching. I did that a couple times in here, but then I used it at the end for "suspension" and just randomly throughout the video. It reminds me of what the actual music video looks like. (It's not in sepia, but there are a lot of bright natural colors, especially brown)

Bloom in is a new effect I downloaded. (0:22) Turns out WMM effects can be modified and created if you know how to rewrite the code. I don't yet, but I found someone who does. PM me if you're interested.

Ease, Pan, and Zoom I all used much more liberally in this than any other video I've ever done (and while I've only posted 2, I've worked on a lot). recently, I've been very influenced by dragonrose70, that's where that came from. After looking at this video, I'm not sure if they'll still want me to say that, though. ^_^;; I just didn't come out like I wanted it to. It's not... bad exactly, just not right.
I really feel the need to talk about the first 20 seconds. I just love it so much. I made it in a coffeeshop, actually. I took the clip from episode 143, copied it 5 or 6 times. I put blur and old film effects on so it would gradually get clearer. Then I faded them all together so you can't tell its actually made of 6 clips. The blur wound up being mostly unnoticeable because of the video quality and the film grain effects, but I know it's there, and it's only thing I wouldn't change if I did this again.

awesome! where did you get the pan effects?

[rexludorum]

Everything except for Bloom In/Out, and slow down were standard Windows Movie Maker effects. Ease In/Out, Pan Left to Right were the ones I used the most. If you have a specific time, I can tell you what the effect was called.
