And IIRC, it was a very simplistic video with almost no effects.

He also won Best Artistic at Akon last year, great vid.

The inverse is not logically equivalent to the original statement... I think you're quite safe.

I refuse to go into details publicly about an op I've given so I guess you got away with it this time but for future reference before making claims you should check to see if there's anyone around that can easily disprove them.

[quote="Pyle']In Godix's words, I have an obsession with effects. Let me make my pointless little point that I have created 'one'(possibly two, but that wasn't really about me) topic so far about effects.[/quote]
It isn't how many threads you've made about it, it's how far you've taken the threads. You see intent on making Euphoria Ver 2.0 and gaining fame, so much so that you're ignoring everyone who points out that we've already seen Euphoria and would rather see something original instead of ver 2.0.

One thing to note, because of my conversation with dwchang I just went and checked out the top 20 or so videos and I gotta admit I underestamated things earlier. Any thoughts I had about decent editing being required were obviously mistaken. Pure and total crap + shiny effects will indeed get you into the top 20 videos. Feel free to ignore anything I've said and continue on your quest for fame, your dream is within reach and it won't even require you to make much of an effort.

VERSION 2.0! Featuring X/1999!

X isn't pretty enough for U4EA 2.0.

Dude, Kamui is like the bish. It's CLAMP, too. How is it not pretty enough?

Anyway, on topic --

I don't think it's so much that people think that you want to be loved.

Instead, I think people just dislike attention-whoring.

Back on topic... ;p

X is too... dusty.

I don't mean the style, I mean the footage. I mean, you managed to make Escaflowne look pretty good (and X is similar) but it's still no U4EA 2.0.
