All that makes us human continues

[vivafruit]

This one took about two weeks to make. It's somehow even more pretentious than my last one.

I was relistening to the amazing album "This Binary Universe" by BT and it hit me that "All that Makes Us Human Continues" was an eerily accurate depiction of a technological singularity. It was a natural AMV idea. I was very worried about syncing to a monotonous ambient song and not boring people to death, so midway through I decided to snip 40 seconds from the second half of the song - still not sure about whether I should have just full committed to editing the whole thing.

I guess one funny anecdote to mention is that my video file of Karas had some rendering issues in Sony Vegas, giving it some weirdly colored pixels. But because I was making a "glitch AMV" I didn't bother fixing it.

Anyway, I hope the amv fills you with the same mix of complacency, terror and resignation that I feel when I watch our world change faster than it has ever changed before.

I think you freaking ascended while making this lol?. I seriously like how you set up this vid, well builded sync and cool vibes. Tho some scenes feel a bit weird but i guess i doesn't break the charm instead it keeps it interesting (7 minutes so yeah). So like recommend me your dealer or something

Oh wow, I totally thought that was intentional. It works so well lol!

I will give you proper thoughts a bit later once I've watched this a few times

LOL. Dunno if I’m ever going to get higher praise than that. Glad you liked it!

I want you to know that I was crying by the end of your video. (thats a good thing)

This was absolutely amazing to experience, and I think you were able to get your message/theme across very succinctly! I definitely felt that "technology singularity" vibe you were going for, and I think your choice in scene selection really helped that. I really love how you bookended the video with mirrored scenes, it really nailed down the storytelling

I don't know what else to say but I just adored this vid (❁´◡`❁)

Amazing to hear. I was not expecting to get tears out of this one so that's a pleasant surprise. Glad the themes came across well, and that you vibed with it.

This is flat out perfect. 10/10.

The pacing was perfect and the variety kept me interested all the way. It felt thoughtful throughout and never felt random. You chose perfect scenes for when the music was ramping up or slowing down so it never felt like a part of the AMV was dragging or rushing. It really helped in making the 7 minutes pass. Also very seamlessly patched up multiple anime without having any one of their identities feel too distinct. Even though I recognized some of the Evangelion scenes and the Metropolis one, it never felt like the story of Evangelion or Metropolis was being generally brought up by a scene and thus never overpowered the overall message and story you were trying to patch together. Also really like the way it goes with music, the scene in 5:04 was nice and lots more throughout. The whole thing sort of feels like a very nice technology Sakuga of sorts, really good.

A very esoteric AMV, man and machine, the idea is clear, we are the dream of a machine!

Wow, thanks for the high praise. I did not expect a lot of interest in this one, so it's great to hear some people really enjoyed it.

Time passes quickly while watching this, it does not feel like a seven and a half minute AMV. Really good job matching the clips to the mood of this track as it slowly builds and changes shape. The segment from 4:00-ish to 5:00 or so was really good, in particular. I'd actually recommend going into this without reading any description beforehand, but I realize that's impossible and you've gotta give viewers something in advance before they give up any of their time or attention.

I don't hear any audio edits to this so you definitely made that un-noticeable.
