Contest video of AKROSS Con 2013 

Author's comment: First of all, SURPRISE! I made a non-troll full amv LOL. Wanted to work on it more but I couldn't be bothered to. Please save yourself and never edit this anime, while this anime is good, editing to this anime is like editing to Hitman Reborn, super hard, the animation is awkward, and a bunch of coloring and banding issues in the source itself. That being said, the anime as a watch was good.

I spent enough time on this to finish it, and I hope you enjoy it.

Author's comment: This one's definitely different compared to my typical work. I focused on panning and smooth transitions, and in turn did the most masking I've ever done in a single video. It's a bittersweet ending for me considering the masking was all done so as not to be noticed.
I did everything in Premiere and Photoshop.

Below - several greetings from AMVNews users.

Extract from author's comment: After seeing Wreck-It Ralph, it shot right up to my #1 favorite movie, and I had a mighty need to edit with the whole soundtrack. Come Disney MEP 4, I took three WiR songs and actually only finished one. Sorry, Hamstar!

The original working idea for this video involved Shizuo from DRRR playing Ralph while Edward was Fix-It Felix. After a bit of unsuccessful planning, I realized that Fullmetal Alchemist already had it's own wrecker who had a lot of unfortunate parallels with Ralph. Suddenly the ideas started flowing and I marathoned both FMA's to find the footage I needed. I really wanted to finish this on time for Anime Expo 2013 so I ended up sending a pretty unfinished version, which I regret. But the video is done now, and I'm very proud of it so I can't complain too much.

Author's commentary: Everything ends. Every song, every editor's career, every dream.
This might be my last experiment with AMVs: a multi-anime sentimental video with an editing style I was never comfortable with until now. I think I've done everything I wanted to try now, so it's likely that I won't be making another serious AMV. This one wasn't supposed to be serious either; I edited all the footage in something like a week, but got kinda sentimental with it and spent another month or so working on tidbits. I dedicate it now to all the friends I made through Ghibli, the hobby I loved for six years, and of course to PantherMarie1988, for whom it was edited as part of Kimberly's Secret Santa event.
P.S. In case you can't make it out, yep, that's a Totoro flying in the sky in the last shot. Things end, but they can regenerate.

A MEP that was made for fun :) Each track is 10 seconds, excluding the first and last, which are both 15 seconds long. Just seeing what kind of feedback this video will get here. I hope you enjoy this!

Author's comment: This entire project has been a new experience for me since this was my first crack at doing something with a proper story and concept as well as adding crossover type elements into a video. I've also never entered a contest like akross before so first time for everything I guess!
The general story is Ladd Russo is an insane president who runs a corrupt government and a gang of rebels controlled by Claire rise up to fight him.

Author's comment: The idea was born while listening to this Song on a trip all over Bolivia when I managed to capture my brother's PSP. The concept came from my admiration of the masturbation scene of the old Evangelion movie met with me trying to paraphrase the song. Again this one uses motion-interpolation for a lot of things, including 60 fps output. The video is only optimized for 60fps, so I recommend to watch that version.

If you're confused about the video's title, I used it for a lot of cool parallel properties to the video, (eg. the gradient is always positive, but it's still periodic and doesn't change it's value averaged over one period at all).

Mirror Link 1 - maximum quality, 10 bit version, 1920x1080, 60 FPS
