Flying Butt-resses and Barbarian Hordes -Gothik2

[Full Metal Sempai]

Well,after watching it I downloaded and watched Strait Jacket...this video got me interested.

Anyway,nice, though simple, editing and Within Temptation,which is one of my favorite bands...
Tell me now why not like it? XD

Credits ftw too...

5/5

[Shui]

Ahh sorry i took so long to respond I've been busy finishing the second MEP

MAX YOUR PARTS WERE AWESOME! You are forbidden from quiting amvs.

Forbidden? Darn it. I thought I could retire before they raised the required age.

Seriously though, thanks a lot. And I haven't completely ruled out doing another AMV, but it's just unlikely at this point. We'll see what happens.

damn straight! *chains you to the desk to edit *

Indeed good sir chick!

*gropes the mirk bewbs*

hm... i dont't know.
sure, the editing was good, but i think, it could be better (the vid was not tuned to the music's feeling)
[3/5]

you do realise what the song is about rite? the london blitz...

very nice editing to a very nice song, I really enjoyed it, a great action-horror video all round

very good I shall deposite the money I paid you to make such a comment later tonight

Oh boy, this looks nice

looks are deceiving source quality is pretty sucky and a pain in the arse to avs... except Strait jacket :p

Nice work, that was pretty cool
even though I don't like horror that much =P
4.5/5

umm in that case don't watch the sequel in the dark *hands teddy bear just in case*

Well, the editing was nice, the atmosphere was also awesome (not gothic!), but guys... Within Temptation?
3,9/5

lol you know some of the biggest flame fests i've seen on this site were in the music section, it's really something people get worked up over, I understand where you're comming from I like the band though and at the end of the day I edit what I like to what I like, not to align myself with other peoples tastes in music. That said, i think the same thing each time i see a linkinballz vid. Gothic is quite a broad style and subject, and I'm the first to admit that we devolved into action at points but as per MDs link gothic style contains many aspects and i'd like to think that even in the actiony bits we kept to that. I have noticed a few similar comments and I think that people have a certain perception of what they consider to be Gothic in their heads and need to do a little research to broaden their perspective. I certainly learnt a lot when i was looking on wiki as to the origins of the word and style.

Amazing absence to feeling of a rhythm.
The maintenance - a set of bloody scenes from absolutely diverse animes.
Low-class vid.
1/5

lol well you do have a point there are a couple of sync inconsistancies between each editor and they are different animes. There's a difference between not liking something and it being a "low-class vid", but we'll agree to disagree on the rest as you are entitled to you opinion.

I hate everyone who watches this for no particular reason, then again maybe I just hate myself for not watching it...

do i need to send you razor blades?

This actually turned out overall pretty nice :]
Gj Autra'nd companions!

glass half empty

The local version of gothik 2 should be up in a few hours but it's 161mb so if you want something smaller the LQ .mp4 is available on direct link as is the xvid version.

Wow, that was extremely disappointing....I basically agree with Gaurry, it doesn't even look like any effort was put fourth for this. Very sketchy mediocre editing, the effects, when used, were terrible. The main reason I got this was for the Smashing Pumpkins track, and sadly even that was a major letdown.

[ShatteredFlame]

Why get this specifically for Smashing Pumpkins when Katatonia and Opera IX are 10x better......and Gaurry's post was for Gothik 1....lol *gets*

EDIT:
Yea, I do agree that was pretty disappointing. The opening did set the proper tone but the MEP didn't do well with keeping it up. Best part was the ending of Phan's track and the beginning of CtS's track. Other than that there was really nothing else that set the gothik tone besides the anime's used......and how the hell could Smashing Pumpkins serve as gothik in any way...O.o 2/5

[Kevmaster]

I don't have the slighest idea what these fags above are talking about.

This was pretty darn awesome.

The gothic theme was hit amazingly well, the songs were extremly well chosen, the editing was top notch and the effects did a great job for the atmosphere. Besides that, the audio tranistions were great.


That was the praise for all tracks besides the last 2. Fizzik's track wasn't badly edited, but it just didn't fit. I already thought like that just when I saw the beta when the mep wasn't put together. Darker in Black wasn't such a bad anime choice, but the song? It's ridiculous to chose such song between all the gothic themed ones, the audio transitions were at that part also VERY obvious. I wonder what devil had ridden you at that choice.

And as far as U_Queen's track goes, here the problem weren't anime and song choice, but the actualy editing. I saw the approach to let the effects strenghten the gothic tone, but it failed. Cheesy, uncreative and not well done, I'm sorry.


At least I got compensated by an awesome credits sequence.

[Sayedee]

I like this. Not so much the first, but the second.

Exactly what I would have said.

It was pretty kickarse for me until these two tracks kicked in.

[MaximoffZero]

Finally got to watch this one. I know it's been said already several times (actually probably more than that as I haven't read the entire thread so far), but I think Fizzik's track should not have been included. It's a good piece in and of itself, but I just don't think it fits with the rest of the MEP. It's dark, but not Gothik. I'm not saying it sucks. It doesn't. I think it's just out-of-place.

As for the rest of the video, I love it. The songs this time (save for maybe Fizzik's track) were truly Gothic and not just semi-gothic like the Within Temptation track we used on the first one. Gothic-ness is all about the atmosphere and I think most of this AMV holds it well. I liked a lot of the imagery and effects used. Good job everyone!

[Phantasmagoriat]

Good stuff

Gothic-ness is all about the atmosphere

I couldn't agree with you more , and there were a lot of different ways this was approached in the MEP.
Keeping this in mind, I think it was put together pretty good

Best part was the ending of Phan's track and the beginning of CtS's track.

lol that was done so last minute XD

If anyone is interested, I have my track here:


It's kinda the first time I've been in a MEP, so... yeah...
