After eight grueling months of work it's finally here. I present to you the 4th in my series of con stopping, creatively jampacked, meandering and majorly pandering videos - Avatar 101!
This project was started shortly after PonyNote for Otakon 2013. I however quickly realized there was a lot I could do with this idea and needed more time on it. I eventually decided to defer it's release until Avatar Boston 2014, where it took Best in Show.
There is probably a lot more I could do to clean this up on a whole, but I really am just done with it. As I spent a year on this project, I learned SO much making this. I considered my footage altering skills pretty decent before I started this, but a lot of what I wanted to do in this Avatar Music Video forced me to step up. This is the first Avatar Music Video of mine to use custom artistic assets (mainly backgrounds although there are a few drawn characters) created by me. This is also one of the first AMVs where I leaned heavily on after effects, and tried my hand at typography. This Avatar Music Video have been a part of my life for close to a year and I look forward to using all that I learned with this project in future works. But it is time to let it go!
I wanted to make an Avatar Music Video that was jam packed to the brim with easter eggs and goodies, as well as being successful to a con audience. In this I think I succeeded. As such I will be including links below to some of the behind the scenes material, including high res versions of the posters and tests, as well as a making of and a list of all the easter eggs.
I hope you enjoy this Avatar Music Video. Seeing it live is quite amazing - It really drives crowds wild!
