Soul's Team организует очередной конкурс из серии Iron Chef. Как и в прошлом году, на создание клипа отводится три дня, а подборку музыкальных треков судьи выдадут в день начала конкурса. Сроки на создание клипа с 24 февраля 2012 (7.00 pm GMT) до 27 февраля 2012 (00.00 am GMT). Мейкеры должны зарегистрироваться командой из трех человек, так и только так, в одиночку зарегистрироваться нельзя. Каждый из трех авторов должен выбрать одну из шести жанровых категорий и сделать клип в этой категории. После выбора категории мейкер получает от жюри музыку. У него будет три дня на создание AMV. Соревнование будет вестиcь в трех различных зачетах (личный, командный и зачет по категории). Организовывают и судят конкурс три члена жюри (Creed, Nyala и Angelface). Подробности на нашем форуме.

Author's comment: Where every magic girl is a princess, and every princess kicks ass.

The goal here was to create an action AMV because I got it into my head that I should. It's sort of an action AMV, so I'm giving myself partial credit.

Author's comment: I think it's the best Lipsynch I have done so far. Also I tried to put a little choreo in it so that not only the lips match perfectly but also the boys movements fit the song. Try to put attention to that :3

I experienced so far that the video especially is popular with girls. But if you are a boy I think you could also like it. And I experienced that some people think that it is gay. Maybe it is... but just a little bit!!

Author's comment: Steins;Gate was amazing. Definitely anime of the year for me. It had everything I wanted from a series: interesting characters, comedy, drama, GREAT story .... so I just couldn't resist this project. So about what is this AMV? Good question .... it's about ...... LOVE, PASSION AND SCIENCE (and me having good time). But really now, I wanted to make an AMV out of this anime before we get flooded with drama stuff. Steins;Gate got its share of a drama side to it but it is also a fun series and I wanted to show that. Kurisu and Okarin are a dynamic duo that reminds me a bit of Holo and Lawrence from Spice & Wolf.

So yeah, believe it or not, this IS a romance AMV ..... romance by Crossfade that is.

I wanted to have fun editing and toy a bit with the viewer at the same time. AMV is sometimes random but within limits of SCIENCE. The dynamic duo is supported by a great cast of characters from Evangelion, Nichijou and even Back to the future! There are a lot of "hidden" stuff throughout the whole AMV so don't be shy to pause it from time to time :3.

Прототип клипа на Youtube. Можно смотреть до или после, как угодно) Слова там примерно такие:

It's poetry in motion
She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony
Mmm - but she blinded me with science
"She blinded me with science!"
And failed me in biology

When I'm dancing close to her
"Blinding me with science - science!"
I can smell the chemicals
"Blinding me with science - science!"
"Science!"
"Science!"
