But to clarify the last statement.. I've been trying to clean up recordings off of my turntables for the past few weeks and haven't gotten anywhere. Did it come off that clean? or didyou clean it up in post. (if you took it off the LP at all)

I bought the LP after the mix was already done - I mixed together the audio used in the video from the US Album "Dreaming", the CD Single's Condor Remix, and the Extended mix ripped from Vinyl (although I obtained the file online and then bought the record afterwards).

Sweet, I definetly dug the mix.
because its somewhat still on topic. Do you know any way (aside from spending $300+ on really good recording needles) to clean up audio from vinyl?

Its about time you released this. I wanted to see it since all the controversal talk on it back in the contest thread. I can see why some didn;t like it though. Its totally a mixed bag for me. some parts I loved and some parts I felt could have been executed better. well More like the effects felt more of a distraction than meshing with the imagery you have on over it, Though it fit well in other cases. I like the overall concept and idea though, and The idea of using hand drawn images was a nice touch, something I myself wanted to do at some point in the future. Speaking of the handdrawn images, while I liked the faces, your body porportions could use some improvement... some of them looked too masculin if you know what I mean ;p Ok let me not get too much into Art critique mode, Being an artist myself its hard not to notice it ;p

Anyways, without rambling too much, In a nutshell, excellent video, the work you put into it shows. However, because of the sheer amount of custom stuff you did in it, Some of it didn't quite feel like it meshed 100% with the flow of the video. Mainly your choce if some of the visualizations used. All in all a good video though.

I'll try to get around to writing up a detailed opinion for you. Vids like these where They are so good, yet I have alot to say about them I especially like to op.

Ermac, does this video mean you are back in the game or are you going to slip back into obscurity for another 2 and a half years or so?

I want more

No, I've got about 2, maybe 3 more videos I want to make and then I'm done. I'm tired of not having enough drive to make AMVs anymore. AMVs just aren't high enough on my priority list anymore, I've got too many other things in my life to do (work, school, girlfriend) to devote time to AMVs anymore. More than that, it's just not that fun.

This basically represents my last major work. The other videos I do after this will be small, simple quickie videos and my DDR video. That's it.

Kew'. I wasn't all that keen on the Nakie Time section - it seemed to go on forever and ever without much happening - but quite liked the rest. More than Euphoria, actually. It fits the music quite well. 'Sides, I'm a sucker for swoopy camera work.

Anyone care to translate the narration for those of us who don't read Japanese, or would that be Cheapening Your Artistic Vision for the Eyes of the Unwashed Hordes?

Totally disagreed, Ermac

but I do understand your reasons, and I'm sorry that we'll be seeing just a couple more videos from you, I really liked your style and it was a definitive influence in my own developing style.

I'm still downloading this AMV, but you know what? I simply know I'll like it. Looking forward to your next work, 7S.

From what I remember from KoP, I'll have to second that... the other thing that bothered me about that was that Miaka looked a little fat, but that wasn't really your fault.

The DuranDuran and FenixTx covers are better, but FINE.
