Naruto Ball Z Shippuden - Heroes Come Back: My Final Video

[AceD]

That was.....surprisingly good, the Freeza part was awesome. Much better than the first one imo which was just really awkward in parts to watch.

Vegeta Insane/GGG is where i started watching amvs, and also why i ended up signing up on this website...maybe i never wouldnt of started watching amvs had it not been for you , i wish you luck.

[Milk Or Life!]

This is indeed better than the last mix. It has a different feeling to it but amvs should be different. Good job.

[ReggieSmalls]

Now that's what I call amazing, good job man.

YO ULLLLLLLLLLLLLLL


Sick.

First of all thank you for your help during this time. The video didn't crush my hopes about a new version with Shippuden, was an interesting video. Wishing you luck my friend

It sucks that Castor Troy left, but that was a fucking awesome video he retired with!

But seriously, sad news. Can't say I don't get it though, I feel the passion-well drying up quite a bit myself. It's been a good ride, man, thanks for all the great videos!

Thanks man. It's pretty crazy looking back on my older stuff and to see how much things have advanced throughout the years.

Awesome. Just purely awesome.

Thanks! I tried to go for much more serious feel than the fun/lighthearted tone of the original considering Naruto Shippuden is far more serious.

Glad you enjoyed it! I know you've been anticipating this for a while and I'm glad I didn't disappoint.

Yeah man, it's best that I quit while I'm ahead since my passion for amvs and anime has faded away for quite some time. I would have hated to leave abruptly with a mediocre follow up video or nothing at all. This is the mark I wanted to leave.

Wow, awesome video. The masking and the interaction of the characters is definitely the best out of any of your crossover videos. Its clear that this has been a learning experience all the way up until the end.
Good luck with your future stuffs.

What...the....heck.....I don't even like Dragonball but GODDAMIT. THIS WAS JUST FUCKING AWESOME! I was sitting there going, "OH MY GOD, WHY IS THIS SO GOOD? Wait, this is Dragonball, WHY AM I EVEN WATCHING THIS WHEN I HATE DRAGONBALL?!" Thanks to some bad memories during childhood of brother trying to Kamehameha me thus developing this dislike of the show itself. D:

But seriously, the tension, the excitement, the POW-WOW action and fight scenes in shounen animes, the kickass background music, the omgwtf moment when you see the epic strong enemies the characters have to fight...seriously, it was like watching a short episode of all of that blended together into one great masterpiece.

Then the technical part. I cannot imagine how long it must have took for all those masks/rotoscoping you had to do. >__< And the lengthy process of selecting the right facial expressions at the right camera angles to pull off that natural and realistic look. I also loved your use of the dust and smoke particles when they were getting slammed onto the ground from the animes. That felt very shounen-like. And the utilization of the background scenery with the trees and the sea was just fantastic. Also the Sakura/uncloaking part = genius.

This has just revitalized my love for shounen anime. I think it's about time I went back and caught up with the newer Naruto episodes ever since I left it on hold at about episode 95 of shippuden, which was JUST enough to cover most the major battles you used in this AMV. There's always that great feeling you get when you recognize scenes used in crossovers in an AMV. And once I've gotten over my childhood trauma of DBZ, I'll probably try and give that a shot too since this was just too freaking good for me to not at least give that show a chance.

You, sir went out with a bang. And a well deserved one at that. Thank you for all the awesomeness you contributed to this hobby. And while this is the first Naruto Ball I have ever watched, I've heard your name very often before when people were discussing Naruto Ball. I think this is a legend you've left behind that won't ever really be forgotten.

Hats off to you sir!

And after reading your LJ entry, I can understand why you need to retire from AMVs. Best of luck with your future film projects.

you'll be missed. Gj and good luck on your series.

Thanks Alan. Everything that I've learned over the years has finally accumulated into this one big moment. I'm glad to have gone all out.

you'll be missed. Gj and good luck on your series.

Thanks. I'll still be hanging around the forums, but I'll only be a spectator from now on while you guys carry on the fight.

Glad you enjoyed it! If I was able to convince you to get back into Shonen anime, then I've done my job. I know amvs in the shonen genre focusing on manly protagonists punching each other while telling a compelling story have been lacking big time lately.

Just make sure you avoid the Naruto Shippuden filler.

The technical part definitely took a LONG time. It wasn't only masking characters, but a massive amount of color correction and blending. But, you'll actually be surprised how many shortcuts I was able to take thanks to advancement of the Adobe Production Suite over the years.

I'm glad to have entertained you all for over a decade and I'll still be entertaining people, but doing something different where it involves me being in front of the camera now.

PS:

Spoiler :

Your brother sounds awesome.

[simofc90]

Awesome technical video. Not very enjoyable for me as an amv sorry.
Even if I didn't like this last one we will miss your videos! I'm happy to see you will continue editing other works

[blaku92]

Ah! no! And I just met you. I'll still see you around I guess haha. Shucks. This was pretty awesome. I particularly liked the Piccolo scenes

[Animated]

You take something classic and you make it even more classic. Classicception!

Spoiler :

And IT - IS - GLORIOUS!

I haven't been on here for ages, but i felt the need to post here. I remember back in like 2003 you inspired me a lot to make amv's. Its a bittersweet ending. Good luck on your future work, your AMV's have definitely made an impact on this community.

Also, this video was awesome.
