The Kamelot Alchemist
Something fun and entertaining for all. This was at first intented to go into a video to follow my Actiony! video, but I decided not to finish this "part 2"... but I liked this segment too much to let colect dust on the hard drive or simply be deleted. I would have decided to just go on and complete the whole song, but there is only so much one can do with just the first volume of the series. The total time I spent making this was one weekend, Friday to Sunday. Not working on it straight, but some significant hours of the day.
To be a part 2 to my Actiony! video, this is odvously a action video. I had fun with most of it and threw in some nifty effects and lip sync. I found FMA to be very easy to lip sync with because the mouth movements are very clear, so I didnt have to spend a whole lot of time perfecting it.
Image mattes were a big part of the effects used in this one. The first few were simply triangles placed for each corner that appear at each beat, then finally the whole screen is visable. The sliding white lines were done the same way. I made a matte for each position of the line, then just used Image Matte [transparency / keying] on white video to get that effect. Very tedious.
Other than that, it was mostly Brightness[and Contrast] and Raidial Blurs used. The part with the sliding bars was done with a combination of the "Clip" and "Extract" effects with key framing to get them to move like that.
Here are the lyrics for the entire song, though, I only got as far as the first two stanzas.
"Nothing Ever Dies" Lyrics [found at http://www.goldlyrics.com/]
Nothing Ever Dies
Here we are
Under the same old sun
All alone
Yet somehow bound and unify
Dust to dust
Ashes to ashes won't take long
The search for the harbor
For somewhere to belong
They say that faith is all you need
To stay forever young
What you sold is what you read
Our sins can be undone
There is a garden
In society
So right is wrong but wrong is right
No one can be sure
But still we are certain
Of what we know is truth
The only truth
We're building our temples taller
They say that faith is all you need
To stay forever young
What you sold is what you read
Our sins can be undone
How can we trust that once again
But you still tell us lies
And their voices will sustain
'Cause nothing ever dies
Love
Love is the only truth
Pure as the will of youth
Until it breaks your heart
You took me higher
Than the mountains I have climbed
You
You waited all your life for me
You
Left me all alone behind
But we'll meet again
We will meet again
All alone
Stuck without you
They say that faith is all you need
To stay forever young
What you sold is what you read
Our sins can be undone
How can we trust that once again
But you still tell us lies
And their voices will sustain
'Cause nothing ever dies
Thanks for reading, and I hope you ejoy the video. :)
