AMV Review #25: SoH's Happy Colors

Vir · Post by **Vir** » Sun Sep 09, 2007 4:13 pm

I'll just say that I'd like to see more videos in the same vein.

Some of the masking was bad, and some of the lip-flaps could have been removed, but I thought this worked really well as an up-beat video. I had never seen the original source, but I suspected that the singing girl was lifted straight from another video - and that did not reduce my enjoyment. The only thing I thought might have been original that wasn't was the rainbow. Of course, if it had been some girl that SoH had filmed himself and drawn over, the effort meter would reach 10.

21:52 <godix> orwell: Your making me download crap has an advantage, at least I already have the bonus vid.
21:53 <quadir> the bonus vid is a parody of sorts of the original music video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=wgDcoRIachM
21:53 <quadir> and no it doesn't use any of the original MV
21:56 <godix> I have no idea what to think about this bonus video.
21:56 <quadir> if you have any comments on the amv-review, the new format or ways to improve things just pm me
21:56 <inthesto> I don't think I "get" this video.
21:56 <Orwell> I'm gonna kill you granny
21:56 <Orwell> gazuse?
21:57 <Hunter> this video needs therapy
21:57 <Hunter> =/
21:57 <G_Q> Seems my Internet had other ideas.
21:57 <celibi87> It wasnt half bad, needed a plot though
21:58 <inthesto> Okay, the real video has a level of bizarre that the AMV doesn't have
21:58 <inthesto> Not that I blame the AMV, since it's ridiculously old
21:58 <Orwell> Hmmm.
21:58 <Orwell> ...
21:59 <inthesto> This bonus vid looks like it should be comedy.
21:59 <Rathisponge> I think this amv was very interesting, good scene selection and sets a wacky mood with such a wacky song
21:59 <quadir> inthesto: did you watch the original MV?
21:59 <quadir> inthesto: it's clearly a parody
21:59 <quadir> he even labelled it as such
22:00 <inthesto> I dunno, I don't really see it.
22:00 <inthesto> But whatever, I don't see most things.
22:00 <Rathisponge> I felt the reuse of the footage was a little repetitive during the last 1/4 of the video
22:00 <godix> i like the ghosts dancing in the original
22:01 <Orwell> I thought the editor picked a good source for parodying the original, I mean, where else are you going to see such a wide variety of bizarre stuff
22:02 <Rathisponge> The little girl saying "Im going to kill you", I found to be a humorous lip synch choice
22:05 <quadir> godix: yeah that's one of my favorites too
22:05 <quadir> godix: I like the original more then the bonus though
22:05 <godix> It's an interesting video. Not sure I like it, but it is interesting.
22:05 <quadir> Rathisponge: yeah the original video is like that
22:06 <quadir> more like mapping a clip to a sound effect, then repeating it
22:06 <quadir> like Dirge
22:06 <quadir> but with a really weird track instead of a cool percussions/effects track
22:06 <Rathisponge> yah after watching the original video I can see where he follows along with the repetition
