I picked this up after a few months hiatus and made a push to get it into Bigcon. I'm sick of making overly complex videos to try and impress in contests so I went back to my roots and made something that didn't make me hate myself by the time rendering rolled around. This is a tribute to one of the greatest minds to ever work in anime, Satoshi Kon. I wanted to try and capture the wonder, intensity and abstract nature of his work. It's flawed but I'm just happy I actually enjoyed the process. Hope you enjoy!

The AMV has captured and embraced its atmosphere and bound it by the track

This way really insightful. I'd be lying if I said the clip selection was entirely reflective of the themes in Kons work. As someone else mentioned the abruptness and visual variation of the clips was inspired by the content of his films but I agree there should have been something a little more cohesive in how the video was assembled. Kons disjointed and abstract cuts are all very purposeful but here this is obviously just a mimic so the techniques don't always properly translate. Hope this wasn't total rambling. Anyway thanks a lot for the comment, really admire your work!

Либо я имею неправильное представление о психоделике, либо это не психоделика, а хорошая нарезка источника.
Здорово, но от части слишком рандомно.
Благодарю за внимание.
С 0.59 секундочки тянет пересматривать снова и снова.
На мою пятерочку тянет...
I see what you mean, but I don't really find this visual inconsistency out of place either
what I mean is, his works were as inconsistent as shown in this video. You could take scenes/episodes from Paprika/Paranoia Agent that if you weren't familiar with it you would hardly believe they belonged to the same film/series.
it probably doesn't work well in general for an amv, but for a tribute it seems fitting that the whole thing is as crazy and non-linear as the sources (or at least the ones that I watched)
But overall, it was very nice. I like Satoshi Kon's cinematography and style a lot, and I'm glad you used his works here. Good job!
I enjoyed the combination of the footage and these sounds. Nice music, besides the bassline. Some sweet camerawork in there too.
Somehow though, you focused the sync on the most uninteresting rythms and ignored the cool ones, in my eyes some potential's been lost that way.
The greatest problem for me though is that the visual content is all over the place. For example there's a clip where this huge dark figure is shown and then this girl fights with her impostor right after. Where it was initally a figure of unearthly overwhelming power it is replaced by this rather earthly physical danger, (or, if you've seen the movie, even psychological conflict within herself). It's probably a natural difficulty that comes with working with Satoshi Kon's stuff. It's rather different than Miyazaki, since that guy uses the same themes over and over again...
I see I'm dragging this out... I still quite like the video, it's just that the last point is so hard to put in specifics.
Surely one of my favorites from this year!
+1 for the cool poster
