Now onto the needless garble.
Yes, this is a parody of Linkinball Z, I PURPOSELEY picked a band that most would think was Linkin Park without being told (HAHA!! Whiteash!! that was the ultimate complimant really -_-). Also in this video I tried basically everything I could think of. Useing the ENTIRE 26 episode series (I only got to episode 18 though *.* though I know the end didn't really deal with this stuff and I wanted to EXCLUDE Touya *.* -ew!- Romance!!~~ in an 'LBZ' video?!!) so I basically made a few new scenes er, slight adjustments but STILL, new situations ;p It's a personal pride. and I hope it shines through.

Oh, I included this on the video info page
WARNING: The audio codec used is possibly non-standard in Linux/ Unix based machines and conflicts in Apple Macintosh' so please be aware. VLC Player has been noted for flawless play in all 3 platforms. There are a few scenes of 'non-sexual' nudity as well.

I'll (obviously) include it here as well.

Plays well in mplayer. Still, using adpcm resulted in 12 megabytes of audio data of which at least 8 could've been trimmed or used elsewhere. Video quality isn't very high and you should reconsider using rgb-difference for transparency as it only looks good with specific footage. That's technicalities, now for the content. Idea itself is pretty good, even if it was used already (SSJ Faye and other examples). The problem is you didn't really use the possibilities. Showing a DBZ intro and two shots of a girl with her her up doesn't constitute a parody. Mixing funny and dramatic scenes resulted in a video that's neither one nor the other. To sum up, keep working, this one doesn't float my boat.

very true, but what most find interesting is this footage is the HORRIBLE pirate dvds. I actually had this idea since I got these back in 2002 and, while it's 'disguised' as an lbz parody (cuz I always loved when these girls went SSJ ;p if you've not seen it, that part is rather untouched. it's just. so. CORNY ;p) it's just cuz I got sick of the damn lovey Inuyasha vids. I dunno, I wanted a more shoujo oriented action video 'worthy' of being called Linkin Ball.

lol anyway, I don't wanna whore attention out of my own thread -_- the analysis is really appreciated and yes, this really coulda' used some Photoshop/ After Effects.

Oh, you did NOT want to hear this song in even 240k mp3 (that was only a few megs less)... sounds terrible in earphones. Especially the drum/ percussion beats and I'm BIG on sync. (you'd think I'd do it better *.*)

let me expand on that. Yes, it's acturally the other way around, I WANTED to, threw this video, BRIDGE THE GAP between fangirl and fanboy a la the name ;p. So it IS more than your typical LBZ parody, especially one that uses a shonen like Cowboy Bebop or Naruto. A fangirl is NOT likeley to even care.
