Ремастер культового ретро-клипа 2000 года выпуска.
Комментарий от Zarxrax: In the year 2000, Kevin made his final 2 videos, sending both of them to Anime Expo.
Believe is an interesting video. It is a favorite of many AMV editors and fans. In fact, it is my favorite AMV of all time. It was somewhat controversial at the time of it's release though, with some people commenting that the effects were distracting, and Kevin even expressed his disappointment with how the video turned out. It ultimately did not win any awards at Anime Expo. Perhaps this video was just ahead of it's time?
Sure, it's not a perfect video, and there are things that could be improved. Some of the effects might be a bit overdone, and I question some of the clip choices near the end. But taken as a whole, this video is nothing short of a masterpiece. Even forgetting about the effects, the editing itself is spectacular, and is in a class above any of Kevin's previous videos.
It is quite probable that Kevin used Adobe After Effects for this video, although it is entirely possible that it could have been done with just Adobe Premiere and a decent image editor.
I initially was not planning to remaster this one because the heavy use of effects makes it less clear cut whether I'm remastering it "accurately". With the other videos, it's mostly just a question of displaying the correct frame at the correct time. It's either right or it's not. But with a video like this, it's just not going to be exactly the same, no matter how close I can get it. I ultimately decided to just give it my best shot. I'm really glad that I did, because I got to see my favorite AMV in a way I have never seen before. I ended up spending about as much time remastering this video as I spent on all of the other videos combined.
I do have to admit that towards the beginning of the video, there were 3 spots that I had trouble finding the footage that Kevin used. One of those was an image of a clock, and I eventually discovered that this image was taken from Kevin's previous "Chantilly Lace" video. Next, I was unable to find the image of the stars that appear in the background. While I did find several shots of stars in Battle Athletes, none of them matched up with what appears in the AMV. It's possible that it could even be a composite of multiple images. For this, I ended up taking a frame from Kevin's original version and cleaning it up and sharpening it some, and then using a particle generator to add back some detail that was lost. I'm fairly satisfied with how that one turned out. Finally, there was a clip showing a heart monitor-type effect. This is definitely not from Battle Athletes, and I was not able to figure out where it came from. I ended up recreating it from scratch. If you look at my version side-by-side against the original, it is clear that they are not the same, but I do hope that it is not very noticable. But if anyone knows where the heart monitor scene came from, please let me know!

Well, I have to say, that most of the video was made by GameOn, I participated doing the slow parts and some corrections in the action, but I was quite burned out and without ideas, we wanted to mix a bit of an old school editing feeling with techniques more modern, I think it more or less went well

Mr. Alien |

Клип делался для участия в шестом раунде конкурса Project OrgEditor 2020. В этом раунде участникам нужно было сделать клип про каких-либо двух персонажей одной истории.
Author's comment: Lilo & Stitch amv set to "Mr. Alien" by Brian McFadden! This was my last video entered into the theme challenges that were going on for the last 6 weeks (I have 3 more, but not sure if I'm gonna upload them, lol) I had so much fun and learned a lot from all the judges! This is a slightly updated version from the one I entered, but I didn't change too much, mostly just fixed a few things (and had to go back and fix another thing I noticed after uploading it the first time xD)
The theme for this round was "Dynamic Duo," where we had to pick two characters and focus on them. I had a few different ideas for duos (Hiccup and Toothless included!) but then I remembered this amazing song from years ago in a Megamind vid and basically thought - "what other character is also an alien?" and went through my list, landing on this iconic Disney duo!

Contest video of AKROSS Con 2020

Sup peeps. 3 videos in a row. This video is also known as Greek Obsession
It's the first time I ever do a GIF for a video. I started this video right after the completion of I Loved You More. Although I wanted to give up with the making of this video I'm satisfied I completed it since I wasnt sure if a combination like this could work since Olympia Kyklos is a Stop Motion serie and it's also my first time editing with this kind of footage.
There are some references to other series during the video in case you notice them.
Special thanks to NIGHT, Kuruta and S.A Robert for the feedback here

It recounts the story of a girl with trust issues, mystified by a stranger, only to end up cursed by him to die. Through her journey of struggle and desperation, she was saved by the one she doubted the most. In the end, she sits alone perpetually haunted by shadows of pain and death.

Once again with another project org editor video. This one was made for the last round. Theme this time was to focus on a "dynamic duo" and showcase their partnership in a video, so i went with ash and pikachu. And with this my participation in this contest is over, really hard trying to follow all the themes given each round, but was a nice and fun experience.
