What you are about to see is an evolution in film sound design far different from anything you‘ve heard before…
The Karas AMV
Anime Music Videos (AMV) are created by hobbyist who take a popular song and add it on top of existing Japanese Animation footage to give the Video a new and more exciting feel. The Karas AMV was created around the idea of taking found sources and samples from existing Japanese Animation titles and combining it with performances highly skilled musicians and Turntablist to recreate the film sound effect work creating a frenetic, hyper real approach to sound design. After the original sound track was removed, the music (Bass performance and Ableton sounds by J of The Opposite of Faith) was written and recorded into Ableton Live- every other voice, movement, moment and mood was created on Turntables and through Turntable mixing techniques (cutting, scratching, transforming) while performing to the video. All other sounds were repurposed from other anime and then altered. The approach was expanded by having the Turntablist (DJ Quest and DJ Cplus) manipulating the Dave Smith Evolver and the Korg Kaoss Pad through the DJ mixers and MIDI control. Performances (Bass, Turntables) were record through the EMU 1616 into Ableton Live and warped, edited and combined there. The final mixdown was performed in Ableton Live and Mastered using Summit Audio Tube EQs.
This is the first in series of creative Music/Video/Art Projects by the Opposite of Faith-creativity without compromise…

This video would be really really cool, except that the encode of this video is so horrible. Does the filename say that it's 12.5 fps? are you kidding me? Why so low? The video is so friggin jumpy/laggy because of that. Also with that kind of quality, this came out to be about 90 MB? Man, you needa learn how to compress.
I'd really like to see a better encode of this. The sync in this video is awesome.
