Yes, he did!


Actually he didn't.

Well... he wanted to, but (as any pianist would be able to spot right away) the song uses plenty of black keys which just aren't as aetshetically pleasing for the concept. He did look up the real notes but fudged it to make it simpler to watch, which is fine - just don't go using the video to try and play the song :)

Ian's right. I've taken piano for years (well as a child) and right off the bat I knew that. Doesn't subtract from the concept though.

Small tidbit on my own video. Within "Evolution" the keys I displayed and their relative locations I used are accurate notes. I played the beginning melody on a keyboard and assuming the key of C, and that the first note's location is the C above middle C, all the remaining notes are accurate.

In conclusion, I am a big dork.

Yup. It's still one of my favorite effects.

... but we already knew that.

(that is rather neat though, I hadn't noticed that)

Yup, if you have a keyboard, start at the C above middle C and follow the locations within the video and you too can play the melody of Ayumi's "Evolution"...and be a dork too.

I should have taken that picture of my setup with the keyboard wired into it when I was making the new ending for my Masters vid. song... I would have looked like a real dork.

"piano key effects" in AMVs

Postby CHWOODYARD » Tue Aug 05, 2003 12:07 am

I have to say that dwchang's amv and "Thousand Miles" are the only 2 amvs that I have seen that piano effect and I thought that they both fiited beautifully in the overall video.

In "A Thousand Mile" I don't care if a black key was struck and the white key next to it appeared to be struck in the video. If that happened and no image was shown for a white key, I would thought that the creator made a mistake and forgot to fix it.

I like those piano effects as ling as they are done differently and fit the timing of the song.

at the risk of sounding ignorant:

What the hell is the "piano keys effect"?

And is it something that everyone seems to be jumping on the bandwagon for?

I guess all I can say is thanks! Yeah I tried to do something different than the typical sense and thus thought color manipulation would be nice.

Thanks for the kind comments (and you too brolli).

Good thing souls of rage and sorrow doesn't have an actual piano in it...
I have sinned. I made a video I wanted to make that was music + anime + sync + action + effects/transitions. Oh lordy. :roll:
