Serious Initial D AMV

Post by Otohiko » Sat Jun 07, 2003 11:25 pm

Presenting my first work:

Anime: Initial D
Music: Dangerous Curves by King Crimson (2003)
(Instrumental) (First use of this band's music in an AMV)
Category: Serious
Length: 6:42
Encoded using DivX 5.05

>>> http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... hp?v=18517 <<<

Spoilers kept to a minimum since all footage is taken from the first 4 eps of the series.

Please don't disregard, this is the end product of at least 21 man/hours of work and a labor of love by an AMV first-timer and die-hard fan of the band.


****

When you watch this...

:!: >>>TURN THE VOLUME UP!!!<<< :!:

You will not regret it, I guarantee. The track, set to a creeping beat of the guitar line, is packed with great little bits of various percussion and drum loops, and features a finishing note from hell. The video, with its' ever-increasing speed and action, tries to follow all these little effects and beats as best possible.

It is, in a way, a character profile of an often-overlooked but almighty 'character' - the curves of Mount Akina's track (or, as they call 'em - CORNERS :wink: (But I think CURVES sounds more sexy!)). It also looks at the darker sides of road racing.

****

Anyways, thanks much for your attention! Hope you enjoy the vid, sorry for the somewhat weighty file size. Please post ops at your own discretion.

Initial D! :shock:

The music seemed a bit redundant after awhile.. but my attention was kept thoughout the vid since you've used a good number of different scenes. Great use of the footage and effects to achieve the "dangerous curves" you were goin for too.

Btw - The ending fits perfectly, but I won't give it away. :wink:

Great vid.

Thank you kindly, sir :)

As for the constant beat of the music - yea, this one will take me a few days to get out of my head (listening to it 21 hours in a row - X_X). Still, I hope it achieved the effect I wanted it to.

Thanks again, hope more people download it :)
