Find a reason to use it if you really want to, best example I've seen:
Good job citing a video that uses 2.5D and not true 3D to argue that true 3D can be used well...:up:

yea because 2.5d and 3d are VERY different, it's not called pseudo 3d for a reason or anything.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

Ok since no one seems to get it i might as well say something.
Read all of it if you want i dont care. :book:

0:00-0:22
As you all know this is a 3D generated scene made with blender 3D. It is to represent Alcuard cell or "home" and where he lives a nice way to represent and open the scene.

"CGI trips down hallways"

Not my problem, jog on

**Sips tea**
_____
If by frame blending you mean
0:22 - 0:29.
Well it isn't, I set up the clips in 3D space and made the camera go though it with CC force motion blur.
This opening scene tells us how Alcuard came in to the picture [show]
0:29 -0:43 - shows us all of the "bosses" he has face, with the ending scene showing who's boss with everyone watching. And the Last scene in that sequence is Alcuard himself.

**sips tea**
____
The first "Effects" sequence is telling us what is Alcuard and what he is made out of in words. For this scene i tried to make it as active ass possible putting blood drop textures, with Alcuard poster surrounded by chopped up frames, motion blur, transitions ect. With the ending scene being 3D.
The ending scene is a room with a film projector. This is implying that he has been this way for years and years. [20s.............film projects................ ?????????]

**sips tea**
______
0:58 - 01:20
This is self explanatory. if you think this has random scenes then "you are retarded".
_____
01:20
This is also pretty self explanatory.
With blood shedding on the camera to give it that feel for the lyrics. With the words syncing in with the lyrics. Like i said i like to make stuff active and alive.
It ends with a 3D scene/transition. In the grubby tunnel with veins stroking out. [If you think that is fucked up and weird. then i have done my job.

**sips tea**
______
The next sequence is a add on with the last one = self explanatory.
And ending with another 3D transition with veins.
____________
01:42 - 02:02
This scene is again going with the lyrics. I can only explain this scene, by reading the lyrics. But i don't want to. because i shouldn't have to -_-
I also put the hue down and kept the blood red high up.
_____________
02:03 - 02:12
Is a montage. Of what Alcuard can do. Again i put the scenes in 3D space and put the camera going through it, with masked scenes.
_____________
02:13 - 3:14
Is a montage of all of the emotions Alcuard has faced between ovas 1 -4 i think. He may be a cold blooded monster, but he can still give off emotions. [imo there are more in the ova's then in the tv XD]

**sips tea**
___________
3:20 - 3:41
Self explanatory -_-
__________
3:41 - 4:02
This is the same sequence effects as 1:20.
"Brick textures"
Thats not my problem.
__________
4:02 - 4:23
This is also self explanatory, the lyrics syncing with the scene selections.
_________
And the final scene is a last montage of Alucards power. The clips selected are in 3D space. with the camera going thought them. I putted some blood shots and some atmosphere in it to make it alive as possible.

**sips tea**

_____________________________________

the face of the matter is that i shouldn't need to describe each scene to you, to explain WHAT IM trying to give off. That's your problem. And for the people that said the scenes that are unnecessary......... Well I'm laughing. you can't get any more simplified then that.
It doesn't take a brain surgeon to know what a AMV is about, and with this song explaining it for you. It is just ridiculous.

And yeah the footage i used was DVD ripped. I got pictures if you need further proof.

If no one gets it and you have to explain the scenes then you haven't done a very good job getting your point across. As the creator, you'll always know what you were going for so you'll be able to see that when you watch it and it will make sense to you.

^This

There were very few parts I actually liked. Everything else was just a cluster fuck due to the distracting effects you used. =/
