Hurricane- AX 2011 Drama Finalist
This went up a few days ago, but I realized I forgot to announce it. In case anybody is interested here is my Hurricane AMV that premiered in the contest at Anime Expo 2011!
Thanks!!
Since I don't want to flood this board with another post I'll just stick this here as well. One of my other entries for the contest is also up now, this one didn't make the contest, but I thought I'd share anyways. Enjoy
P.S sorry for the super cheesy banners...I haven't got particularly good at making them yet. hehe.

Thanks so much Rider I was so honored just to be a finalist next to the other videos in the category (well in the whole competition really)- they were all so amazing!! I loved your video in the action category as well. (And your DBZ -"Son of Man amv that I was able to catch at Nic's event!!)
It was great getting to meet you at AX this year! Your work is amazing and I've been a fan of yours for a while! You're also so supportive of other amv creators and I really admire that! Thanks again!!

Re: Hurricane- AX 2011 Drama Finalist
I thought this video was very well edited, but it needed a tighter focus.
Half of the anime used [Hell Girl, Kill Bill and Kurozuka] have a kind of feudal Japan feel to them [if thats the word Im looking for], which at least visually have similar themes. But then Death Note comes in, with it's modern cities and, er, penmanship, and it sticks out like a sore thumb. While Death Note definitely fits the song, it doesn't fit with the rest of the footage.
You could also group Hell Girl and Death Note together with it's themes of judgement, but if that's the case than the other footage doesn't fit well.
And then there is Origin..I honestly don't know much about the movie, but it's fantasy scenes didn't mesh with any of the other scenes at all >>
Overall this was a good video and it had a really strong ending, but I wish that the selection of anime could have been a bit different to bring it together more.

Re: Hurricane- AX 2011 Drama Finalist
Gonna have to disagree with ya a bit, Hagaren. There was plenty of Hell Girl footage that took place in modern times to balance the Death Note. The Kill Bill footage was in a modern setting, though it carried the 'feudal feel' (especially if you've seen the movie). And I've never watched Kurozuka but it looked like that guy was fighting a swat team with machine guns at one point. o.O I didn't pick it apart while watching the amv, but my gut feeling was that it all connected.Hagaren Viper wrote:I thought this video was very well edited, but it needed a tighter focus.

Except the Origin footage, ya... I did wonder a bit about how it was supposed to fit in (since, well, the other anime all have a strong focus on DEATH, and it doesn't). I assumed it was there to show someone making a deal with an ancient, mysterious and perhaps malevolent force, similar to what Death Note and Hell Girl are all about. Only in that case the character was granted the power to fight (and kill if necessary) in order to protect people. So it was a more positive take on the song's moral dilemma.
Maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but that's honestly what I thought watching it. I can see how other people would want a more obvious connection between the anime, especially if they haven't seen them before. Although admittedly the only anime in there I'm particularly familiar with is Death Note. I forgot everything about Origin, I fast-forwarded through that scene in Kill Bill and I dropped Hell Girl after the first few episodes.

Re: Hurricane- AX 2011 Drama Finalist
Hi Pink Haze You're right, they were all kind of connected (at least in my mind). There was the aspect of death, but there was also the ongoing theme of acquisition of power to achieve your goals and the inevitable consequences of attaining that power. I thought Origin fit in because of what the main character had to give up in order to gain the power to save Toola. All the animes in the amv featured characters who had to make that kind of a choice. I guess Origin’s was a little more positive than the others though, you’re right about that, haha.pink haze wrote:Thanks for the input Hagaren, it's appreciated I'm a big fan of your work, so you taking the time to give an opinion means a lot, thanks!!Hagaren Viper wrote:I thought this video was very well edited, but it needed a tighter focus.

Re: Hurricane- AX 2011 Drama Finalist
Just to be clear, I did notice the modern Hell Girl scenes, and I actually thought the whole swat team bit and Kurozuka were two different anime until I looked at the list herepink haze wrote: Gonna have to disagree with ya a bit, Hagaren.

I guess I can say I didnt enjoy the modern Hell Girl scenes as much either, but the other half of it worked quite well for me. I can see the theme connecting all of the anime together, but I guess Im being picky. I seem to be in the minority anyway, so dont mind me ;p
