Re: Dawn of Ashes (FINALLY LOL)
This was good. I enjoyed the zombie look on sephiroths face. Though at time the sepia seemed a bit much. Also could of been longer. Really good though, I have always been a fan of your work. 4/5

Re: Dawn of Ashes (FINALLY LOL)
I believe that, by removing all that photoshop effort, all that remains is a very simple FF video.
Anyway, it was cool. 4/5

AHhhH!! *runs in circles*
Ok, about time you uploaded this. I've been waiting.
I LOVE the effects, though I couldn't help but be sort of disappointed with the lack of effects in the first half. It was quite good raw editing there though. The cracked skin and glowing eyes were awesome XD.

Re: Dawn of Ashes (FINALLY LOL)
oh sweet, finally done eh?
//downloads
that sir was rather good.
I really liked the way you manipulated the scenes and the color-corrections.
Though, what amazed me the most about the video was the outstanding visual quality, really, amazing quality.
But one thing really let me down in the video, which was the sudden ending.
The song just suddenly faded and so did the video, I don't know, it just felt like there would have been more to display.
As if it wasn't complete yet, but that's just me.
all in all, really interesting video.
nice to see some effort

Re: Dawn of Ashes (FINALLY LOL)
I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about. Biased opinions never fall short.
The "effects" didn't cut it for me.
Underneath the AE/Photoshop layer(s) is a really simple FF video. As Animated24 pointed out.
Thats not necessarily bad, however if you look more closely, this FF video is random as shit.
I see no story or "point" to this amv. Your description of "I don't give a sh*t if you don't understand this video" confirms my allegations.
You try to label this as experimental and yet I only see 1 layer overlayed on top of another.
Thats it (also a few eyeballs/color corrections
).
You left the beginning (first 30 secs) blank...nothing..zip..Nada....Experimental..Na..........
Also the video quality could have been better.
This was a all-around bad video. I wont give you a rating but I'll tell you that I didn't enjoy this at all.
Next time make a amv with a actual plot/story or a amv that is actually "experimental".
An example of what I consider "experimental" is Artofeel's A Perfect Lips, No Lipstick.

Re: Dawn of Ashes (FINALLY LOL)
great vid it had a different feel to other AC vids with the colour scheme and textures - got the mood of the song there, also I don't think action vids necessarily need a story tbh, just have no idea what El's post was on about. Anyway you're definitely my fave editor from your studio

Re: Dawn of Ashes (FINALLY LOL)
This video is about the concept dawn of ashes. It's not random shit, If you see it REALLY closely you will see that in the beginning the good side are winning and finally the bad side win. It's not about the "good vs bad" thing exactly. It's about the end of an era and the beginning of another one, but you don't see more than random shit sadly.
And about "if you don't put Fx it's a simple video" yeah if I don't put FX this video would have no meaning at all because I wanted to create an atmosphere. Sorry if I don't use flash effects and the same shit that people use usually, I like raw.
And I say it's experimental because no one made before this kind of FX in 3D footage especially final fantasy, and I never saw before videos with this kind of music.

Re: Dawn of Ashes (FINALLY LOL)
Elcalavero, you seem to have mistaken who has made this video. You see, Undeadborn, is my second account. It's where I upload all my awesome videos. So I made this video, therefore, in reality, you actually love it. Now that you know that it was me who made this, watch the video again with that in mind.elcalavero wrote:I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about. Biased opinions never fall short.
