Author's comment: Hey, this is my first post to AMVNews; I’ve seen many amazing editors within this website so I hoped that I could be reviewed by them.

One thing that I wanted to portray through this video was the idea of Cynicism playing a huge role within somebody’s life; it often causes them to look negatively upon everything and can become a big hindrance to not only themselves but to those around them. Kyon, within this video, let his cynicism deflate his esteem – he began to doubt himself and those around him – while life seemed so confusing and out of touch for him, it was well for everyone else. Through to the end of the video I wanted to fully express the concept that traits such as this can ruin relationships with other people, the gun and death being metaphors of the death of a relationship/friendship. Naturally a somewhat ‘grungy’ feel worked well this idea and I’m also glad this song was created too as it compliments exactly what I was trying to show.

I really loved making this AMV so I hope that shines through; though it may not be the longest of AMV’s I feel that it’s length is just enough to deliver the meaning while not drawing it out too much.

Author's comment (перевод): Клип сделан для конкурса Japan Expo International AMV contest 2011. Занял пятое место. Я большой поклонник работ Самана Кешвараза (Saman Keshavarz), он сделал несколько потрясающих клипов. После выхода его трилогии клипов на треки из альбома Midnight Club EP от Russ Chimes я тоже решил сделать работу на одну из этих трех песен. Но подумал, что было бы интереснее сделать свою АМВ-трилогию вместе с еще двумя мейкерами. Я поговорил об этом с Nostromo и Reznic'ом, поскольку знал, что им нравится подобная музыка (а Ностро вообще-то и группу эту знает, так что мне представился неплохой шанс).

Уточняющий момент: между этими тремя клипами нет никакой связи, кроме одинаковых титров (начальных и конечных) и нескольких отсылок к двум другим работам.

- Sony Vegas 8
- 2 месяца работы

"Sleeping Beauty totally sold me on the anime and it never slowed down throughout the whole video." /VicBond007/

"I was sitting there, watching it build up and after the first few scenic shots with the castle and the wind turbines I was like, "Oh...this isn't really an action vi---HOLY CRAP DID THOSE VINES JUST HATCH MONSTERS?!?!" and I was SOLD from that point on. Really, really great buildup, and when the action part hit it was like going from 0-600 mph in two seconds, and I totally loved it." /Junipertay/

!! WARNING !!  !! SPOILER ATTACK !!

This happened suddenly. I watched the anime and I had freetime to edit. Programs used: Sony Vegas 8.0 and Virtual Dub Mod

Комментарий авторов: Очередной MEP в стиле кип аут, только уже абсолютно другим составом. Что же можно сказать о процессе создания этого "чуда"? начальный план состоял в овер 20 участниках и какой-то трешовой музыке (как всегда получаем фан от общения), но результат - 10 человек, 2 замены в составе, абсолютная бессвязность происходящего на экране (все как всегда). В целом, если бы можно было все описать словами. Весь этот ужас, который пережили участники при проживание вместе в одном уютном чатике, то ... кхм кхм ... в общем приятного просмотра!

Author's comment: Well well, I've done it...I've made a Linkin Park video. I should retire after this one if I wasn't so in love with the damn hobby. Anywho, I wanted to finish this video in time for AWA but I was just lazy and put it off for a along while. Why did I choose this song. Well I ended up listening to all of Meteora during a trip up to Michigan to meet my folks, and my cousin had a burned copy of the cd. The songs were okay, but of course you had your same angst filled lyrics. What ever happened to the songs like My December and what not. Well of course I always did like LP's intermission tracks, like Cure for an Itch, and when I heard Session, I thought about making a vid to it. I didn't really think about it much afterwards until I saw the Animatrix, in it's entirety. Frankly I had the whole 'ending' of the vid planned out in my head....and in fact it was one of the first things I got done in the vid.

Достойный представитель танцевальных клипов. С интересными переходами, набором эффектов, не так часто применяющихся в АМВ, хорошей синхрой и липсинком. В общем, с достойными ингредиентами для приятного к просмотру клипа.

Author's comment: Contest deadlines kind of forced me to settle on certain scenes that I'm not entirely satisfied with and I couldn't get as much polish in on some of the things I would have liked, especially on the more experimental things I tried with effects. Anyways hope you enjoy!
