Author's comment: My video for Animatsuri 2016. I really wanted to make a m@d style video so I tried my best creating this one. It was pretty hard to find the time and motivation to make this and I rushed sooooo many things, so I'm not 100% happy with it buuuuut it's still ok lol. Hope you guys like it ^^

Author's comment: The idea for this popped into my head while first watching kisanzi's "Scrumtrulescent Smorgasbord". I hadn't seen Gourmet Girl Graffiti before, so the exaggerated eating sequences instantly made Weird Al's "Eat It" come to mind. Coupled with seeing Mycathatesyou's "Fun Fun Yum Yum" in close proximity, the idea of doing a Food Wars/Gourmet Girl Graffiti video to Eat It was cemented in my head. Along the way, I added a few extra sources here and there for some extra gags.

Author's comment: Hello there. Here it is! the AMV for Abunai Beyond the stars 2016! I've been working on this for months, the deadline was at 29th of July, i started with this project at 27th of March... First off i had to watch the ENTIRE Clannad Series, and i was in a hurry because i had to edit the AMV as well too, so i was watching around 8 episodes a day, so if you have already seen the anime itself, you know how much i might have cried of the misery and sadness in the anime D: After that, i started editing the entire AMV on the 3rd of May, and it was alot, of struggle, and fighting, and pushing on to the limit alot of AE composition works too XD But all the hard work paid off, and im really happy with that! my idea was to get in the top 3 this year, but instead i made a bump to the 1st place! which is really great! So after all the hard work, and going insane, i present to you: Otherside! I hope you'll enjoy the video, and if you were at the AMV Compo, you enjoyed the video! Thank you!

My exclusive enty for the Connichi 2016 AMV Contest. Got 4th overall. The AMV is about the Nightraid organisation from the anime Akame ga Kill and about their motivations. I tried to focus on my favorite characters Akame and Mine. I hope it is enjoyable for you! ;)

Забавный дэнс в стиле ретро. Мог бы быть покороче, но и так неплохо. Очень понравилась цветовая гамма. Судя по коментам, автор потратил на этот клип около месяца.

Author's comment: Haters will say it's random. xD
My aim was a Character Profile of Mumei and I think that's also what I ended up with. I really enjoyed the series, but I hated the antagonist - that's why I avoided him completely. Also, check out this Band - I'm glad I found this song. Special Thanks to iEmelien! You were a great help.

8 место на Japan Expo 2016

Author's comment: Donc voici mon clip pour cette J.E 2016. J'obtient cette année la 8ème place, ce qui en soit est une progression par rapport à la précédente, bien que très faible... Espérons faire mieux l'année prochaine avec quelque chose de plus convaincant.
La story (parce que oui, il y en a une) : Le projet en lui même est né il y a à peu près 2 ans. Je voulais faire un clip sportif le plus " badass " possible et l'idée d'y introduire un parallèle entre l'homme et la bête (la loi du plus fort) m'est donc rapidement venu à l'esprit. Pour faire court, je voulais introduire mon clip avec une phase où l'on se rendait compte de la domination de certains (Akashi, Narumiya, Aomine, Oikawa etc..) avec quelque chose de " provoquant " (40 premières secondes). Les sportifs lambda (proies) étant écrasés et impuissants face aux dominants (prédateurs), intervient " leur dernier espoir " qui en quelque sorte a le potentiel de changer la donne (0:40 à 1:10). La rupture sonore sert d'une part à démarrer la monté en puissance, mais également à mettre en scène les outsiders censé faire jeu égal avec les dominants (Kise, Eijun, Hinata, Haruka etc..). A partir du drop (1:10), il est question d'un affrontement où les outsiders prennent le dessus jusqu'à ce faire rappeler à l'ordre par les dominants qui imposent leur " suprématie " pour montrer que c'est leur territoire (1:10 à 1:40). Les outsiders se rendent compte que ça ne va pas être simple de les faire tomber, on a alors un phase de " re-motivation " (1:40 à 2:00) avec des scènes où l'on voit le public qui les encourage, pour ensuite enchaîner sur une phase où les outsiders commencent à gagner en confiance et se mettent à provoquer les dominants. On arrive donc à la dernière phase correspondant au dernier drop qui est censé mettre un point final à tout sa. Je voulais que cette phase soit la plus violente possible pour montrer que les ex-dominants se retrouvent être à présent les dominés.
> L'idée principale : Imposer sa suprématie implique que l'on ne soit pas la proie mais le prédateur.
