Description:

This is my first try at a cross-over video.

The concept is quite simple, and I tried to give sense of it thanks to the end and the title of the video, quite searched, but the editing of it is been fairly more difficult than my most horrible nightmares, being my first try I didn't had a true idea of what I was going to make, more than one time this project was in danger to never born, to never see the light, especially because more than once I was in a situation without exit, because of the too complex clip I wanted to make or because actually the footage I was needing was only in my head. But little by little I am been able to finish it. This video actually confirm a record for me, 120 hours of work for a 2 minutes video. The best thing you could do is read the short comments I wrote on the video profile informations (I always try to write not too much for not make boring the read). I would take too long for me to tell everything I made and what were the most difficult parts, I only hope you'll give it a try! =) Give it a chance, I would love, love to know what you think about it, any type of comment would be greatly appreciated from compliments to critics, thanks to everyone in advance and I hope you to enjoy!!

One big extreme quirk I have.

I assume you don't know much japanese but on the monitor screen that says...

"Gaara

vs

Rock Lee"

The bottom symbols (rokku rii) is supposed to be "Rock Lee" and the top (Gaara, should be obvious

) would probably fit better for Naota's name.

Interesting and funny video though

Yes! Awesome! I was just pondering an amv idea for this very song when I saw your announcement. This was a great inspiration. It's just the way I would want mine to look! The idea itself is great, and executed really well. But from my standpoint, what I like best is the timing. The way you've used short clips and timed them really well with the music makes the video seem really alive. This must have been hard since the song is so fast-paced, right? Anyhow, great work, 5 stars!

The bottom symbols (rokku rii) is supposed to be "Rock Lee" and the top (Gaara, should be obvious Razz) would probably fit better for Naota's name.

Interesting and funny video though Smile

My Japanese is null I have to admit it

So I'm even been not able to draw the true name of Naota there

Ehehe Thanks a lot for the warning

I'm extremely proud you found it interesting and funny.

Just to not make Quotes disturbing..

Thanks really a lot for your comment! Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it and you hit the point, because of that fast-paced song use short clips and still create a good flow to my concept (especially finding the "storyline") is been really painful as well as synch the video. Even if now for me if I think about this work, mask is nothing compared to find the clips and put together the fight.

Thanks a lot I'm really proud and glad you liked it so much. ( P.S.: The paint option on AE is just great.)

Same for you Triggit, your comment is really appreciated

Thanks a lot for your compliments!! It's my first try masking so much and I'm honoured that you found it so good, same for the concept. Thanks a lot
