Logs: Vegas 7, AE cs5, Photoshop CS5, Media Encoder CS5, Virtual Dub, 3DSMax

Quick synopsis: Amberground is an hostile place with few natural lights and giant insects roaming. There is postmen called Letter Bees, which travel these dangerous maps in order to deliver importants letters . One day, Gauche, a Letter Bee, saves a young child left for dead in the barrens. Years passes and the young hero, Lag, decides to become a Letter Bee as well in order to help people. His first quest will be to collect an artifact on Sindria's island, a rare stone desired by not-so-good-intentioned people.

Post mortem:
Spoiler :
- What went well:
Testing original animation with 3ds max and AE helped me to add a lot of variety in the AMV. I encountered a lot of problems and errors which helped me understand the logs better, so i'm sure the artistic feel will look a ton better in the next AMVs.

-What went bad:
The FT villain. i was forced to change the villain since the real boss from LB was cancerously anticharismatic and static. The villain from FT movie felt a lot more dangerous and powerful, but i wasn't able to make him appear sooner in the story, which would have been better.

Lights/Textures in 3dsmax sequences. Modeling and animating wasn't the big problem (i wanted to make it feel like Game of Thrones opening), yet the textures took an enormous amount of RAm because i didn't new how to optimize them. AS consequence, i wasn't able to make all the light adjustments than i wanted to do on my PC. It suffered a lot during rendering.

Vegas Alzheimer. Near the end, i notices vegas just "lost" sequences/scenes of the AMV that i wasn't working on/touched. It forced me to render it in parts and keep it the way it was, since more loss would have compromised the AMV itself. Then, i wasn't able to correct some elements in the amv, like the "manor" sequence i wanted to make more explicit.



One thing's sure, the next big amv i'll do won't make pompous complicated story twists or static main anime. Next one, i'll plan to use a more dynamic one.

Anyway, what's done is done. Feel free to say what you disliked and liked.

What i like the most is the 3d. I love how you experimenting with it! The only thing I would complain about is the cartoon effect. Besides that, I am looking forward to your future releases ^^

I love the amazing amount of effort it must've taken to integrate the Three-Dimensional aspect with this amv. That much must get praise for.

What I disagree on was the pacing of the video (I swear everyone's gonna hate me for saying this over and over again xD). It moved too fast on some spots, and made the flow of the amv a little jittery. I kinda felt like the ending was hella abrupt too but that's just me. Still... Fucking awesome AMV! Following storyline and concept was awesome and the effort was insane to make this one.

Good watch for sure :bear:
