Classic AMVs Weekly #4 - The Return

Welcome to the return of Classic AMVs Weekly. D'ya think it needs a better name?

To rephrase my words from the first time I did this back on 12/11/2005:
This is something I want do every week, and each week, I will feature an AMV that is older, or forgotten about, or maybe just plain doesn't get enough love. I feel that a lot of the newer generation of AMV editors should be able to see these great AMVs, and this weekly feature might give them exposure to some awesome AMVs that they might never see otherwise.

It's as simple as that.

A quick rummage through my older collection has turned up a real gem.

Otaku Outpost - Silent Lucidity
Vintage: 2002
Anime: Cardcaptor Sakura
Music: "Silent Lucidity" by Queensryche

This video is from 2002, so it's not as far back as I could have gone, but definitely far enough. I had several videos in mind, but I decided on this one. Just a fantastic peice of work, everything falls into place. It has fun moments, sad moments, exciting moments, and one amazing sequence towards the end that still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.

I've been known to watch this video several times in a row before, and I know now that I've dug it up, I'll probably watch it a couple times. Probably one of the coolest things about this video is the use of the transformation scenes, and they way they all were sequenced and blended so seamlessly. By today's standards, this isn't too hard of course, but it's still very well done and quite entertaining.

I showed this one to a bunch of people who hadn't seen it a couple months ago. They thought it was very entertaining.

And the sequence with the various costumes cycling still impresses me every time I see it.

I figured you would have seen this one, being the resident CLAMP fanboy

It is that very video why I absolutely adore Cardcaptor Sakura to this very day.

(and a constant reminder of damnation of why I didn't buy the uncut DVDs soon enough before they became OOP

).

I like this idea, since I haven't really been around that long.

Good stuff. I remember watching this after it won at AX. This was prior to making any actual AMVs (or maybe after my first) and I was still 'just a viewer.'

Also

on doing this weekly.

I enjoyed it. Keep the classics rollin.

Although I think I would have cut the song a little bit if I had made this one.
