The Dark Iron Chef match (need votes)

Postby Silk_SK » Wed Mar 02, 2011 12:30 am

I and Arashinome have been goading each other into having and Iron Chef match for a while since the ones we have had were less than satisfactory (as in he won). So today we decided to settle it and have as awesome a match as we could set up. We both picked our sources, asked NME for a song, and laid waste. But rather than go through the hassle of chasing down judges we're just going to post the videos here and have you all decide who the winner is. Here they are. Video A or Video B?

Btw, it's called The Dark IC because both of our sources have the word Dark in the title.

Video A had far more consistent editing from start to finish, and the source was way more interesting. The lyrical sync at the beginning of Video B was juvenile at best and not at all stimulating. The ending was excellent however, and really demonstrated the full potential of whoever edited it. If I have to look for the better editor between these two, it'd be the editor of Video B since their high point was better than anything the editor of Video A put out.

So, my vote goes towards Video B, despite its troublesome inconsistencies. :amv:

Edit: Oh, the vote's over. Go figure.

I picked the song to be a bit of a challenge. It looks like you both got a good match in.

Both videos are quite different in theme and style. Looking back at the sources The Dark Knight may fit with the song on a more visual/stylistic level, though Dark City is certainly not lacking in appropriate footage.

Video B takes the trophy home, though. Steve is a force to be reckoned with in IC! Shame about the audio edits.
