Author's comment: I chose to work with the Padilion Remix of Just Hold On for Hidden Palace but I also really wanted to do something with the Identity Sequence version. I thought of making something quick by re-using my Hidden Palace footage, but I ended up making something completely new that became my most complex project.
100% MMD footage, should I still call it AMV? It required a lot of work to blend all 26 videos together since they each are using different filters and lights not to mention various resolutions and framerates I had to work with. Lip-sync with 3D camera motion was a challenge but keeping Miku quiet for some shots was even harder. I’ll post a making of video in a few days.

Author's comment: После просмотра великолепного Е3 трейлера к Wolfenstein: The New Order мне захотелось сделать что-нибудь на его основе и овашки к Хельсину стали идеальными кандидатами на роль видеоряда. P. S. Субтитры делал с нуля, а так как я не очень хорошо знаю английский язык, взял перевод с русской версии трейлера, поэтому возможны неточности.

Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey. Enjoy my new amv and thank u for watching.

Author's comment: -Originally made for Soul's Team IC 11-
After last year, I really wanted to try this IC again. I did OK in 2014, but ultimately never having done an IC in such a limited amount of time showed in my final product. It was rushed and yea, I went a little crazy on the motion. This year, I'm much more satisfied with my video. I marathoned Shinsekai Yori in the days leading up to the IC, and created a video that illustrates what the series means to me. If you haven't seen it yet, you must. It has a stellar story and is no doubt one of the best shows I have seen in years. Ask yourself, what would happen to our world if a small part of the population was granted immense power, heedless of personal ethics or control? What methods would have to be constructed to ensure a "safe" and "prosperous" future, when every human is a potential lethal weapon? Live in captivity, or die with freedom. What choice will you make?

 A new version of encoding utility Baka Encoder v1.3.3 is up. Quite a lot of features have been added since the last update:

• Added encoding with x265, a video codec of new generation (shows excellent results on anime sources). Still it's better not to upload such files to AMVNews because online preview player does not support x265.
• User interface updated, errors fixed.
• All codecs updated to the last versions.
• A couple of new languages added (Japanese and Chinese).
• Presets system updated (losseles encoding is one of default presets now).
• Colorspace transformations for RGB are more effective now (~4% more effective than via AviSynth) (details)
