My AMV for your entertainment

I briefly mentioned this in another post and figured the I would, well, post it. This is an Anime Music Video put together by me when I was in a really weird mood and felt like making something. I whipped it together in one 5 hour sitting with Windows Movie Maker (lmao - MISTAKE). While there are a lot of things I didnt do that I wanted and things that I changed with bad results and numerous other problems I had with it, I really like how it turned out. I keep telling myself Im going to redo correctly with decent software but I dont seem to have the time nowadays.

Heres the link:

The footage is from an anime series called Juuni Kokki (AKA "The Twelve Kingdoms") and the music is Power Symphony's "The Way fo the Sword". Both of which I completely adore.

Help... I could not download it.

Thank you for sharing your video with us I really enjoyed watching it. The music went great with the video, as there were lots of tears shed. You are very talented do you this type of work for a living?

Yvonne

hahaha no. This was just the one and only video I cut together on an odd day. It has a ton of flaws, you should see what some other people have made out there, its amazing. Thank you very much, though! I'm glad you enjoyed it =)

nice. microsoft movie maker. ya, i made the same mistake. kept freezing on me. had to redo a bunch of stuff the first time it froze. then i had to keep saving each time. i did find that it mainly froze when going from timeline to storyboard. so then i just kept to the timeline and i was fine.

You did very well in the transitions and everything. I would say you did a good job on it. I have no idea what I was watching, but you were able to keep me going, however. Is that a Japanese animation?

Yes it's an Anime (Japanese Animation) called "Juuni Kokki" translated as "The Twelve Kingdoms"
I had to sift through all 45 episodes to find relevant/usable clips. 5 hours was actually quite a rush job in that aspect. I used a couple of the cheesy Movie Maker effects like the old film effect at the beginning, and amber effect later, and a spectrum one after that. I had a lot of it matched up to the music much better, but I went back and changed something at the beginning, which threw everything else off. The fight scene with the behemoth at the beginning should be cut completely imo, I should have found something else to put there. I think My favorite part is right before the fight with the birds where the guitar matches up with the girl looking back at her friend (the mouse - his name is Rakashun) and I can just feel the anger and such build up (this is mostly because of my having watched the series and it is quite a large scene that was very emotional - much like the fight with her best friend the black haired girl).

Whoops, as I said before, I ramble a lot when I get talking about anime so I'll shut up now =P.

That's ok to ramble. I do that myself with some things. You obviously have an interest in the subject, so it isn't a problem.

What do you guys think of the song?

The song seems to go with it well. I've never heard it before, but it was fine.
