Music: Paul Romero, Rob King, Steve Baca - Hope
Anime: Samurai X - Trust & Betrayal
Video: Last Blood

It's short and simplistic, which is exactly what I wanted. I didn't write my usual novella in the comments section because I don't have that much to say.

I hope you either enjoy the video or suffer because of it. I bank on the latter.

And yes, I know that HoMM4 was an awful game. Doesn't change the fact that the soundtrack is excelelnt.

Hey, you finally got around to getting this thing out.

And damn, I gotta say why the wait dude?
I absolutely loved this video. It was incredibly powerful in it's simplicity, you really brought out an intense mood and feeling to it. Definately one of my favs from you, without a doubt.
Awsm job

(btw, did you clean up the seizure scenes from the source? Because that is damn hot if you did, fucking hated those)

I just realized I havn;t seen anything from you since when I used to do those free op threads. Nearly a year ago. You sir have improved tremendously since then

Loved the video. simple but powerfull. And me saying that about a Kenshin OVA video means something ;p (not that I dislike Kenshin, just seen it too much in amvs) I also kinda liked the widescreen format, as it kinda gave a more cinematic feel to it, and helped make it a little more original for me with it being Kenshin OVA source.

The compression seemed a bit blocky at points though, not as in overcompression, but the kind of large block areas you get sometimes with a temporal smoother set too strong. Might just be the codec if you didn't have any internal smoothers set. Its not that strong though, just kinda noticable in some scenes.

That was as beautiful as

And you made me realize i've been concentrating on effects far too much.
I'm gonna go ahead and blame decoy for that.

Damnit Decoy!

HEY, Hey, hey!

What I do?

>_>

<_<

Anyways, it's been a long time since I've seen and liked a Samurai X vid [well, not if you count Into the Fire, but that's beside the point right now].
I opped it, so go check it out.

Because I'm lazy?

Yeah, I definitely noticed the same problem, especially in the dark killing parts. I had hell with that (it was originally tinted red, which made the smoothing problem even worse), and I was able to settle for what I had after roughly three days of trying things out.

Cool stuff. The video was well-edited, and the song brought back fond memories of playing HoM&M...
