Evil Island - Anime Boston 2012 Editor's Choice Winner

[Melichan923]

Well, here it is. Sorry for taking so long to upload. I had to catch up on a lot of lost sleep from the convention. Never in a millions years did I think I'd be making another AMV trailer so soon after AWTR, but I saw the movie Shutter Island, loved it with a burning passion and had to make this.

Thanks a ton to the editors that voted for my video, especially among so many amazing videos at the con. It meant a lot to me.

I'll be downloading everyone else's from the contest and leaving comments as soon as I catch up on a bit more sleep. Hope you all enjoy. It was stressful but quite fun to make and I'm glad to be back after a year long break.

Also, if anybody for some reason needs another encode feel free to ask. I figure at this point mp4/x264 is common enough for most people to be able to play it back properly on their computer so unless somebody asks I don't think I will be converting to XviD anymore.

Nicely done. I was hoping you'd upload this quickly.

[TritioAFB]

Ho? I dunno how to describe it, but it was intense

[SeNniN]

nicely done. everything goes so well together that its kinda scary. o.o really enjoyed it.

Awesome trailer, the second this started playing at AB I knew you'd set the bar really high for the entire category. I had no idea how much work this was to create until you talked about it a bit at the con panel, and now I can read more about it in the comments on the video. Sounds like you ran into a lot of challenges, but were able to work through them - huge A for effort, there!

So far this is my leading candidate for VCA Best Trailer. It's believable, it's really well edited, builds a convincing story, it's highly entertaining/compelling and looks fantastic. Someone who didn't know any better would easily be fooled into thinking this was the real thing.

5/5

[Castor Troy]

That was pretty good. Especially since you used RE4

5/5

x2. Seriously, it just looks so realistic!

It was intense, had great sync, great pacing and a great mood to top it all off. Definitely one of those trailers that have you at the edge of your seat in anticipation.

[Warlike Cygnet]

Having never played the game or seen the movie, I'd believe it was a real trailer ^_~
But seriously, it's very well edited, has great mood, sync and sound bridges.
Congrats on the win ^^

I'm really glad this got editor's choice. Being in a category with some really hilarious stuff (driftroot's LFS and Borihiei's ponyo/jaws combo in particular) I was worried that the audience might overlook this extremely well edited video.

It was superbly done. Very well synced and amazing scene selection. Everything was spot on and there wasn't a moment that felt off. Had I not known about the movie or the game, you could have probably fooled me into thinking that it was a trailer for some video game for sure.

[Castor Troy]

Did you rip the scenes off the PC version of RE4 for the footage?

[Kairih]

This is beautiful, a great combination of one of my favorite game + one of my favorite movie.
Great job

[CodeZTM]

That was a really well composed trailer. Believable and well cast. AWESOME footage, didn't know RE4 looked that good.

[BasharOfTheAges]

I'll say it again - Simply awesome. Very convincing.

[AceD]

Did you rip the scenes off the PC version of RE4 for the footage?

its modded hi res textures mod from the PC version

really nice job

[Warlike Swans]

[Nice things.]

And I stand in agreement.

It really comes off like a professional trailer; the sources look completely natural together, you pulled off the sound bridges smoothly, the footage looked good, the lip syncs worked (and I wouldn't want to try that on CGs), and in the end it was successful as a trailer since I would want to go out and see that movie.
