HOLY Dio!! - is it a bird? - no, it's a dIVebombER! (action)

Um, if anyone remembers this thread...




I'm sorry, I lied :oops:
I was in the right mood, and I did make it after all. Time for that project, eh folks? :wink:



Err, anyway, you can probably figure out the rest below...

Category: Action

Well, if you fancy yourself an appreciator of early 80's Hard Rock/Metal, you're bound to enjoy this one. Possibly. Take a tiger ride!

In a nutshell, it's a simply-edited action-oriented story video with a enough action, good air combat and sufficient cohesiveness to keep a somewhat arbitrary plotwise concept moving - with adequate if slightly abstract lyric sync to boot. Sounds like the right formula for a hard-and-fast video to me.

Coming from me, I think it'll seem somewhat conventional, and certainly not groundbreaking either technically or creatively - just adequate. I'm hoping it makes up for it in good flowing action - and a good song choice. I mean, come on - it's one of rock's great classic riffs we're dealing with here, which in itself is undisrespectable!

My intention here was just to make a Dio video, as we're definitely lacking in them, big time. Come on, there's only one other Dio video presently downloadable through the .org's catalogue, and none on local! All I tried to accomplish here is to do the great rocker some justice...

Thanks Tobin for unintentionally leading me to make this, for better or worse :P

Anyways, rock on! Thanks to all viewers; if there's something wrong with the file, tell me right away (I don't have the bandwith to confirm it); both constructive and generic feedback is appreciated, and your attention is always valued. Just don't go writing me off as another hopeless/shameless action editor now... :roll:

THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE FUTURE OF COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY TO ME!

Still, a good video.

But now I'm gonna have Dio stuck in my head for a while....:(

o.0
That was pretty entertaining. I love how you interpreted the riding 'tiger' as the guy riding on that jet/robot thingy. (Sorry I didnt watch Macross and I have no clue what you call it. T_T) Anyways it had a good flow of scenes that went well with the music and I think it was pretty original to use such rarely used songs. It wasnt the next Euphoria or Toushi, it was just simple and fun to watch. This action video definitely stands out for such reasons, and this is one to keep. I liked it. Keep it up.

But now I'm gonna have Dio stuck in my head for a while....
Same here. I have my head singing "Holy Diver" over and over again.
Is this what good music does to you!?!?!!?

OMG Dio+Macross=ROXOR!!! I'm so getting this. Always wanted to see an AMV to that song and "Rock N Roll children". Since one is already made, the second is reserved pour moi :P.

So, I take it the vid worked fine, phew. Mission accomplished?

/goes off to think about the next weird, if technically unimpressive project :roll:

Hey, that was pretty nice work! Out of character for you to do a strict action video, but you do it well and keep to your editing style of simplicity and mood/lyric synch above flashiness.

I note that this is another Oto vid that starts out with a sunrise/set ;)

I was gonna end it that way, too, until I realized I couldn't :roll:

Yea, to think, that's the third one.
