  • Comments: Whoa... So here it is, probably the best amv I made. The idea came to me like a year ago but I started to gathering materals over two months ago. I collected many scenes but in the end over 80% of it wasnt used... TT

    I had problem to find a good source of the Little wonders music video... I was so desperate that I started to downloading dvdimages of the film Meet the Robinsons.. but the ones I downloaded had this "Extra" removed... Pissed me off! The time passed and I finally found a torrent with a usable quality MV. After some avisynthing ;< I was ready to roll...

    The main goal for me was to create a video with very emotional atmosphere and I mostly concentrated on that.

    There are few things that are interesting to notice. First the beginning - the first verse - I chosed or added only raining scenes, then - the second verse - has only night scenes and the third verse has only scene where characters are running - it should look that they are running cause of the flying paper plane realised scene earlier ^^.

    About Effects. I mosly used blurr and changed brightness. There are few more complicated for example the rain I created or the whole zoom in to the buildings window. There are also some simply masks.... so I can say this video is attached to the effects but all of them fit in perefctly and wont distract or doesnt look ugly in my opinion.

    Special notice about credits ;P. I have been little drunk while doing them (celebrating school years end with friends) and I wrote wrong few titles (only few, and mostly those in Japanise [example Kimi go nozomu eine xD]). I only noticed it while entering the amv here. I would change that but right now I dont have any patience left. My computer is very slow and this whole rendering and then converting to h264 would kill me.

    I must add that Im proud of this one the most of all my vids ;') and I will be entering it probably to some contest.

    Please enjoy!

    EDIT:

    There is a new version of it cause I screwed audio before, now its better quality. Also I took this chance and changed a little rain, corrected some little asyncs and removed two ghost frames. Oh... and the credits are wrote right this time. Thats all I wanted to say.

    Please, again. enjoy! :)

    Lyrics:

    Rob thomas - Little wonders

    Let it go
    Let it roll right off your shoulder
    Don't you know
    The hardest part is over
    Let it in
    Let your clarity define you
    In the end
    You will only just remember how it feels

    Our lives are made
    In these small hours
    These little wonders
    These twists and turns of fate
    Time falls away,
    But these small hours
    These small hours
    Still remain

    Let it slide
    Let your troubles fall behind you
    Let it shine,
    Till you feel it all around you
    And I don't mind
    If it's me you need to turn to
    We'll get by
    It's the heart that really matters in the end

    Our lives are made
    In these small hours
    These little wonders
    These twists and turns of fate
    Time falls away
    But these small hours
    These small hours
    Still remain

    All of my regret
    Will wash away somehow
    But I cannot forget
    the way I feel right now

    In these small hours
    These little wonders
    These twists and turns of fate
    Yeah, these twisted turns of fate
    Time falls away
    Yeah, but these small hours,
    These small hours
    Still remain

    Yeah, oh they still remain
    These little wonders
    All these twists and turns of fate
    Time falls away
    But these small hours
    These little wonders
    Still remain

    Staind - So far away (only I part I used)

    These are my words
    That I’ve never said before
    I think I’m doing ok
    And this is the smile
    That I’ve never shown before

    Somebody shake me
    Cause I, I must be sleeping
