OK, this is the video that I made for AWA Pro contest. The footage is from Earth Girl Arjuna and the music is a heavy re-edit of music from the Philip Glass opera Satyagraha. I am really amazed that it won Best Instrumental, because there were something like a dozen instrumental videos this year and several strong finalists including corran's Last Exile video.

Fair Warning. This amv, like its source, is very HIPPY and very TRIPPY. Do not attempt to eat a Whopper while watching this video. That is all.

This is one of those that I didn;t like at first but grew on me afterwards. Its actually pretty good at telling its story and matched the mood of the series very well. I beleive I voted Coran's vid best instrumental, but this video was a strong contender aswell. good job.

This video is excellent, it was easily my favourite from the AWA Pro entries

It's one of those works which are simple in their editing and don't really have anything outstanding except a really strong atmosphere.

I was happy to see it won best instrumental, this was deserved

btw, updated my opinion while you were at awa, you may have seen it already

Damn, I'm speechless. Coming from you that means a lot. You should know your Arjuna vid was played during Iron Chef to a nice big crowd, and you also got a staff award for it. So it's all good.

And thank you for the op, it was longest I've ever gotten I think. I will try to reciprocate soon.

Oh, that's really nice to hear

In fact my video isn't that much of a crowd pleaser, I think it comes out better if you watch it alone in front of your computer

But nevermind, I'm happy about the staff award. Who gave it to the video btw?
Don't mind to get me on ICQ or AIM for that
