Redona by Oro$hi

Good lord.

Fuckin brilliant man. So excellent. I agree about the Haruhi scene. It was the one that jumped out and said "I do not belong in this video." If you had recolored her, made her face one solid color maybe, or something like that, it might've been fine.

But that's just one small blemish. The whole video was top notch. Even though you were obviously pulling from pre-made sources you can tell that you have a very strong sense for design and aesthetic. The whole video felt like a cohesive piece and it was damn fun to boot. It's one of the only AMV's I've seen (ever) that honestly could double for a legit/real world music video (from the style perspective anyway). So again, bravo sir.

And this explains the source I couldn't just find!
Doesn't make the vid less bad, though, it's a source like any other, in the end.

Pleasant interesting vid. Good job.
upd: But yes. Fewer Asian Kung fu and more own work on the vid it looked better.

And then russian editors discovered that AMVs actually use existing footage ...
Where's the difference between using a video clip or any other anime?

Besides, Redona looks way better than the actual video clip (especially for sync), got quite some original scenes too done by Oroshi, and blends multiple animes brilliantly. It ends up in an enjoyable video ... may the amount of efforts done to create be greater than I thought, or not, I can't care less.

Putting aside Redona for the moment.

To be honest, I believe there's a huge difference. Anime as a source is something that needs polishing - you can't compare it to a real music video that was made by professionals and it's visually stunning as it is. When it comes to AMVs you can think of music videos footage as a nearly finished product - you can't say that about twenty something minutes long anime episodes. It's like a difference between cheap, supermarket beef and that high-quality Argentina beef (that I wanted to buy lately but I'm out of luck) when making a steak.

Getting back on track

It's not like this AMV made itself. Someone had to find a good concept for the whole artsy stuff, edit it properly etc.
You need a first-class chef to create a good dish even with best quality ingredients. That is why this AMV gets 5/5 from me and it lands in my fav. AMVs folder .
