Oh man, I envy your skills and taste for visual effects.

I think there is nothing I don't like with this AMV. You made me happy.
Also has one of the most interesting uses of "shatter" I've seen in some time.

And here's a big heap of responses.

It's nice to see you returning to the drama vids while still adding the flair that you've picked up from all those dance and action videos. The dark and moody atmosphere coupled with the effect work definitely made this vid enjoyable to watch. Good work.

VNS ftw.

Yeah, I have problems keeping anything simple in my ideas anymore thanks to all those action and dance vids. But that's ok!

Really awesome job here matt, I think it was very well done ^_^
I haven't seen the anime, but the mood of the song seemed perfect. I liked it alot!

damn you for making a good video hehe

Thanks, it will be a very good drama category at Acen and I think its anyones game.

Szwagier wrote:Kisanzi + Gunslinger Girl = win :O

Really neat stuff, though I think you could focus on 2-3 girls and leave the rest ou of the video, cuz the vid seem a bit random with so many characters thrown into it. And randomness for drama = no good (in most cases)

Yes, I could've focused on a couple girls but I wanted to cover all of them. And it's a good thing I did since I absolutely ran out of footage by the end. Gunslinger has some good action and drama scenes...but they're not as drawn out as I thought they were when I started. So thank goodness for all the girls having stories.

Been waiting for a good dramatic Gunslinger Girl video, and I'm keeping this one.

Yeah...I would've loved to have less Rico, since her hair was always a huge pain to roto...but she had some of the best action scenes. And Angelica...cmon, that was the first scene I had placed in my head when I heard the song.

Glad ya liked it!

Thanks!

CrackTheSky wrote:Wow, that was really cool. Loved the way you played with color especially...as always, the effects in your videos are unique and innovative, and the way you brought out the angst of the song was very nice. A little slow during the verses (the choruses were the main attraction here), but overall this is a spectacular video

Thanks! I wanted to keep the verses slow so that the chorus was the main attraction and the viewer didn't get overloaded on the effects...until the end!

You fixed what I told you too
Good job.

I liked it.

I think this was a little more action than you ment but it was cool regardless,

Yes, you did beta it. And yes, I fixed what you pointed out. Thanks for the help!

Many thanks...but I was lacking a Yotsuba guitar solo.

I agree.

Moonlight Soldier wrote:Pretty kewl I like the under-water-light-like effect.

And yay for making a pretentious title that actually makes sense after I watch the video haha.

Hehe, we VNS peoples gotta keep up our trend of pretentious titles. But glad you liked it!

Or emotion with action? Both are good I guess. Thanks!

I used Shatter? Where? There's no shatter in there. Maybe something looks like shatter? But either way thanks and glad ya liked it!

Thanks to everyone for watching and for their comments so far. I really appreciate it!

I think I looked into it as well, but still I don't really like it that much, maybe it's just that the anime was a pretty big letdown or it might be since it's overly drama but still somehow I can't find it to be that interesting. I think you're better of making kickass action videos. It actuall has the same problems as the series it's visually not very stunning although the effects aren't half bad nor does it have an good storyline. But I guess if I liked the anime I'd love the video. Btw. good song choice, I was suprised to see a Zeromancer video. Now get back to kickass action videos.
