What up everyone,

I represent 1/6th of Toronto hip hop group, Soliva Spit Society. We just finished up our first unofficial video which is weaved in an anime theme!
The video was directed and edited by me and filmed by a friend of SSS.

Check it out and let me know what you all think.

I liked very much your song (it's remembering me something between The Herbaliser and Beastie Boys), and I hope all your tracks are good as this one.

About your video, using animes is a good idea but the quality of your footage is not always good, maybe a better compression is needed.

I liked your video, I kept it on my hard drive. Maybe it could be "space" if you show it on TV screen... I'm wondering if people will like it or not. But here, on the Org, I think it could enjoy some people.

I have mailed (by PM system on the forum) to give you a list. I have not all the names but I wanted to play. ^^

Good luck to your band and don't hesitate to show us another video from your band. For sure, I'll watch it (and hear ^^).

Hey thanks a lot for the feedback Gwench!

Glad you like our stuff. As for the quality, this is best possible quality i can get with a WMV file, we'll be releasing the DVD quality one with our next release.

And haha yeah I got a few PM's but nobody got 13 of the films. We'll be posting up the the list after we ge a winner on www.spitsociety.com

peace and respect

Wow, that was really cool.

The music reminds me a little bit of Jurassic 5, and the integration of anime was pretty good.

You had a few technical problems going on there (interlacing on some of the anime and the flashing text during the live action segments was somewhat overdone), but that was definitely worth watching and was a keeper.

Be sure to let us (or maybe just me) know if you guys release anything else like this.

Thanks for the feedback inthesto, J5 has a more old school style but i can see where u draw the comparison with all the members and the short verses.

i'm not sure what you mean by interlacing of the anime? i'm new to the whole video editing realm. This was my first experience with film/editing so i definitly got a lot to learn.

I'm glad you liked it though, and i'll keep you posted on our upcoming releases. We are planning on doing an original animated video early 2006.

peace

no one can name 13 of the films/series used? There are over 20 used in the video!

I know there are some serious anime heads in here, so somebody must know it.

so far Gwench is the closest with 9.
