Portal Of The Black Rose (Utena/Portal vid)

Post by purplepolecat » Thu Jan 01, 2009 10:56 pm

I realise I'm about a year late to the Still Alive AMV making party. There have been at least 2 based on Eva, and then doki doki did the Excel one which is probably my favorite. Still, sometimes you get this idea in your head and it won't leave you alone, so against common sense and the advice of your family, you go ahead and make an Utena/Portal video.

There's a warning in the description that the video won't make a lot of sense unless you've seen the Black Rose arc of the Utena series. It might not even make sense if you have. I'm expecting a lot of "i didnt get it" type comments, but that's OK. Hardcore Utena fans will hopefully like it. And by "hardcore Utena fans" I mean Kionon. :)

Not bad. It seemed strange though how it looked like you put quite some effort into inserting the graphics and stuff, yet your lip sync was extremely poor.

Yeah, there's a simple explanation for that. I love doing stupid photoshop tricks and can happily spend an hour editing a gag that lasts a second, I guess because it usually involves some kind of logical problem solving. Conversely I hate doing lipsync, it's a mechanical process that bores the hell out of me and I'm never satisfied with the results even if I work hard at it. Unfortunately I couldn't see a way of doing this vid without a lot of lipsync, and so I got bored and the quality suffered.
