• Comments: This project started when I was just looking up old cartoons/anime I used to watch. Shaman King's intro stuck out, and somehow I thought it would be funny to put it to Fate/Stay Night. So I found the Shaman King intro, realized how short it was and decided to whip this out in a single weekend.
  
  Overall, I'm somewhat proud of it, but the shear number of "accidental" syncs in this video almost makes it feel like it isn't mine. Most of the scenes are ripped straight from the second Fate/Stay Night opening, and there is a good 15 second portion near the end where I simply slowed down the Fate/Stay opening to fit the new music. But hey, it works :-). (For those of you who are curious, these are seconds 32 to 49). Hell, the cuts between Archer and Emiya actually are accidental syncs!
  
  There are a couple of technical issues with the video, but I don't think it matters in the long run. The pan of all the servants at ~3 seconds in is choppy. However, the servants are scrolling in parallax, so there isn't an easy solution that I can think of. The next scene ("Look around you, look beyond") is also a little choppy. This one I can fix but I don't think the effort is worth the reward. (I'd create a large composite and then pan it manually).
  
  In the end, I guess I failed in one regards. None of the characters in Fate/Stay parody characters in Shaman King, so it is a pretty bad parody. So I prefer to think of this as an alternative opening or maybe an action amv to Fate/Stay Night. Well, those are my thoughts on my Video. I hope you enjoy it :-).
