Conan and Ran - Awake and Alive

KFamvStudio's 2010 Beta Battle Tournament

Tenikou v.s. DarkAngelRoy19
Song Choice - "Awake and Alive" [Skillet]
Anime - Detective Conan
Programs - WMM7 and Sony Vegas



Creator's Thoughts:

- Since the following statments are just me babbling my mouth away about the video-making, you can either have fun reading or screw it and rate the video for what it is.

- Even if I'm a fast worker on a general basis, I would've wished for more time. Since I've got exams coming up right before the deadline, I kinda decided to get this out of the way.

- Skipping from one program to another brought the quality down a good bit. I very much prefer Windows Movie Maker for the clip sequencing, but drag a few things into Vegas for addional effects that WMM7 just doesn't have.

- I feel this video isn't action-y enough. I mean, you know, some dude dying, a helicopter shooting at a tower, Conan falling twice, Ran being hurt, Conan opening a paraglider, and Ran ready to kick ass just doesn't do it. You'd think there'd be more guns and fire and explosions with all the stuff that happens in that anime, wouldn't you? *sarcastic*

- I tried to stick to the lyrics as close as I could. Except for the first two chorus lines. It seemed fitting enough that I left it as it was.

- I would've done several vids with the suggested songs and submitted the best one, but I said a little earlier: "exams = less time".

- In total, I think I spent around six to eight hours on this. Mostly because I'm VERY picky about timing, and spent most of the time fighting with my glitchy programs so I could get as close as possible to what I was aiming for.

- Despite all the stuff I said above, I'm pretty satisfied of what I made.


Thanks for watching (and in some cases, reading through the whole description). Good luck to everyone!

(And I wish special luck to Chu, Ichi and Alice. Get past the first round; you can do it! XD)

WMM7? is that a Windows 7 version of WMM?O_o

[DarkAngelRoy19]

@RyuAmakusa01 Yeah, it is. It's great for putting clips together, mostly because of the trimming option (dunno what the actual term is in English), but it's biggest downside in my opinion is the lack of diverse effects, as well as being unable to overlay several effects at once, which I why I keep juggling between WMM7 and Sony Vegas.
