AKROSS VCA for those who asked

Postby Lastochka Studio » Sun Jan 23, 2005 5:43 pm

Some people asked me about AKROSS after my other posts so I copied it into a new topic.

http://www.akross.net.ru/data/contest/v_best.html
I think I posted a link to that page yesterday. Anyways, I'll try to have solve some language barriers. Here's video name and the nomination it got:
1) IMAGE - 79D37'fallout'
1st video of competition
Best technical presentation

highly recommended to watch for everyone

2) TRAUER - Pokich
2nd video of competition
Best drama
Best story

beautiful video. Highly recommended. It's important to mention that the name of the song (in german) is "Without you" and the name of the video is "Sadness, sorrow"

3) WHISPER OF THE BEAST - Scorpions Ultd
3rd video of competition
Best action

masterpiece. If you read author's forum posts (at AKROSS) you will sit with your eyes wide open and your tongue falling out. lol Not only it took him 7 months of constant planning, designing and work, there is such a deep deep story in it. Every single move in the video has meaning. I mean every single one. Video also is very strongly linked to lyrics (which are in german by the way, he had to translate it). He should post in in his account as it's essential to understanding the whole complexity of the world created. Anyways, I was reading his posts whole night yesterday and only then realized what a piece of art his video is. It is definately the most completed developed complex work I've ever seen.

4) LES TRISTESSES MERTRIERES - Tayo
AKROSS award
Unbelievable, but another finalist made a video on the same story arc - Naruto-Haku-Sasuke. But it's absolutely different video. It gives you different view on a story and is more sentimental. Very very remarkable!! It's pick is at 2:37. Wow :shock:

5) ANOTHER HALF - NetTropp
Best concept
Best design of special effects

breathtaking effects. I think this video will open a new stage at special effect design and editing. Different kind of FX than in Euphoria, more custom designed effects. I mean it will blow you mind away.

6) FALLEN WAR - ukms[z]
Best presentation
huge spoilers for Windaria. Original video footage quality is pretty low so it make turn some people off

7) WONDERFUL CLIP - bkt
Audience choice
don't download it unless you understand Russian and/or saw old Russian classic movies. The video is a joke and parody and you may not understand a thing. Though it's an eyecandy.

8) ЛЮБОВЬ ПОД САКУРОЙ! - Хитоми и её девочки
Best comedy
don't download unless you saw O-zone - Dragostea din tei MTV video because you will loose most of the jokes. The video is navative and very funny, but visuals and especially sync need a lot more work in my opinion.

The rest are just finalists.
I'd highly recommend to download БЕСКОНЕЧНАЯ ДОРОГА - Рэтти .
it's closely connected to lyrics so if you're interested I could give you a brief translation.

NOCTURNE - SpawN

If that person had an account in the Org and uploaded the video in 2004, that would have gotten an automatically nomination for Best Horror from me.

Hehe, it's Elfen Lied, no wonder it's creepy ;)
Great Video, the "song" underlined the creepyness which those scenes already have even more. Some effects didn't fit that well though.

Thanks alot for the translation, Lastochka, it's great that the Russian community found their way here, it felt really seperated for a long time ;)
