The Kingdom of L.F.S. - Knights of Badassdom Trailer Parody

[dreamawake]

That was fucking TITS!

That was wonderful and a ton of fun to watch ^_^

Very deft effects. Tifa is an adorable succubus. I like the censored version a bit better, it emphasized the swearing more.

Thanks for letting me know about the censored version. It's a weird thing, they actually muffled the word considerably in the trailer itself, so it really isn't that clear, however it's still clear enough to require censoring for certain cons. I figured a trailer like this would not censor itself, though, so that's why the non-censored version is the default version.

Getting more comments about Tifa's adorableness than expected - I wish I could have made her more evil, but she just didn't seem to have it in her. I feel like my announcement image should perhaps have been a motivational poster of her smiling with her teeth out and, underneath, a simple caption that say "Rawr." But that would kind of ruin the surprise. ^_^

Oh. My. God. THAT WAS SO COMPLETELY WORTH THE WAIT! You, young lady, have outdone yourself.

Thanks! And thanks for calling me a young lady. That's something I don't hear very often anymore.

That was fucking TITS!

We need a little boob smiley for the forum, for instances like this.

That was wonderful and a ton of fun to watch ^_^

Fun was the goal, glad to hear you had a good time watching!

Or you could make that your avatar, the poster you already have is great

What does L.F.S stand for?

I gotta say... I've been looking forward to this for quite a while. Been following your journals for quite a while and couldn't wait until the livestream to check this out, but now that I see that you've uploaded it, so YAY. :3

Probably one of the best trailers I've seen. Then again, you do kick-ass trailers, so I knew this was going to be something great.

Great work with the lip sync, great work with the additional elements and the eye coloring was just BEAUTIFUL.

The level of detail in this is just amazing. I want you to SERIOUSLY make a "making of" video for this (kind of like Eidolon or PencilHead). I'd love to see how all this was done in detail. Or at least a compilation of your documentation journals.

I highly recommend.

[Emong]

Awesome!

As you already know, I really liked this. I haven't seen many fan made trailers but this is the best I've seen so far Expect some praise when I'll drop you an op later.

Really tight editing : O you can see effort everywhere
Though for some reason it doesn't work as trailer for me, but that might be just me.

I first watched this when I was super tired and didn't notice the effects work. Then I watched it again after I got some sleep and was like holy... thats pretty smoothly integrated. Nice work.

My avatar, huh? And give up Gojyo, one perpetual source of confusion as to whether I'm a guy? (I'm not). Tifa's just not me...but you know what, I will definitely switch over to her for Halloween!! Thanks for the idea!

As for "L.F.S.": Sephiroth makes a comment in the AMV opening about " 'Tis the Kingdom of Elefess, my naive friend!" In the original trailer, this is said when one character finds out he's been dragged off to the LARP gathering. In my version, Sephiroth is quasi-breaking the fourth wall and spells it "L.F.S." instead. He's got kind of a weird sense of humor that's pretty close to mine. Just took some 'shrooms to get it out of him.

Wait wait, I do kick-ass trailers? I've never done a trailer before... @_@ so how could you know that? LOL Another journal follower...yep...it's been a long haul this time, that's for sure. As said before, so pleased to hear I didn't disappoint.

As for a making of...hrm...it's...hrm. I was going to say it's pretty simple, what was involved, but I suppose when you pile 50 things on top of one another, it's not quite so straightforward anymore. A making of video would possibly more complex than the AMV, though, if I tried to elegantly show what's going on. People would either be bored to death, quite dismayed when they see the basic tricks employed or (for those good at effects) laugh their heads off at the backwards way I went about things. I don't claim to know what I'm doing, video-wise, I just try to make it look like I do.

Awesome!

Emong op, YAY!! You were a wonderful beta tester, as you already know. I don't pay much attention to AMV trailers, either. There are some good ones out there, for sure, but it just isn't something I seek out for casual viewing. I said as much when I started making this AMV, and found it pretty ironic since I never imagined I'd make a trailer.

Thank you for the comment on the editing, that's the thing I've been told over and over again I really need to focus on improving. I can't say that I'm making any concerted effort to be better, it just feels like I'm kind of getting the hang of this (finally).

And thank you also for being honest about your feedback - I unshrunk your comment because I really, really want to hear what people think of my AMV and there is nothing wrong with sharing your opinion. Good, bad, neutral - that's what this announcement thread is here FOR. Tell me what you liked, what you didn't like (and WHY), what I need to work on, whether I missed a great opportunity to go in another direction...I don't want my AMV to exist in a vacuum, even a highly positive vacuum.

I first watched this when I was super tired and didn't notice the effects work. Then I watched it again after I got some sleep and was like holy... thats pretty smoothly integrated. Nice work.

Thank you! The effects are subtle, they're also harder to pick out if you watch streaming versions. I highly recommend a download - not a preview - for that reason.

Glad I got to help you out on this and im glad you finally were able to complete it. The journal updates made it seem like editing this was equivalent to trying to pull your own teeth while juggling explosive chainsaws as you ride a unicycle.

Welcome back, Drifty.
