Just Pictures [AWA Expo Best Artistic Endeavor]
Stuff:
-please don't watch this in preview mode
-you have to watch it the whole way through
-some people don't know what Jethro Tull is
-some people will like this
-some people will hate this
-some people will have playback issues [60fps]
-some people may actually prefer the 30fps version ?
-some people won't watch this through to the end [6:05]
-It's kind of long, but give it a chance.
-inspired by [perhaps] my favorite composition of all time: Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull
-[This is my attempted at remastering the 1972 version]
-The Music is just a small excerpt from the ~45min piece... check out the full thing
-The Video is an experiment, much like most of my videos... check those out too...
-Basically, I wanted to make a video with just pictures... hence the title
-There is a pretty strong focus on lyric sync in the first half
-All I can say is:
Just sit back, and actually try to enjoy it...
...as you should with any AMV.
[wow, I hate writing descriptions... but that wasn't so painful >_>]
EDIT: won Best Artistic Endeavor at AWA Expo 2010
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/v ... 5&t=101540
Technical:

[60fps]
as always, any feedback would be appreciated.

Cool stuff, I love me some Jethro Tull. Was listening to this and Aqualung last night.

Re: Just Pictures [AWA Expo Best Artistic Endeavor]
The music and selection of pictures gave this video a great emotional feel. Not really sure it all the mega masking near the end was necessary for the overall feel (But it was very well done and I'm impressed by that ). It's always hard to keep people’s attention with this kind of video so it might possibly been a bit too long.
Stiff, quite decent in the end!

The idea and the pic selection was great that is why it's easy to sink into the atmosphere you created but I have to agree with Vlad that it's a bit hard to stay focused on the same level throughout the whole thing. It could be a bit shorter than it is.

I'll add that I like the first half of Thick as a Brick way more than the second, but Aqualung is classic

Regarding the length, I was aware of the issue as soon as I started the video, but I wanted to give people a small taste of longer more progressive work-- similar to what you get when listening to Thick as a Brick in it's entirety. I find it's not very common to see video's take their time and lead to musical shifts for greater impact. This is something that I think is dying in amv's and even the music industry to a certain extent.
It's good to know the atmosphere was thereCross/fade wrote:The idea and the pic selection was great that is why it's easy to sink into the atmosphere you created but I have to agree with Vlad that it's a bit hard to stay focused on the same level throughout the whole thing.

I'll direct you to my response to Vlad regarding the video length.

It makes my day knowing someone else recognized such epic manga
Glad you liked it.
