|  Bann Editor's Cut by Tricky  Bann by Bubule. Musique: Venus - Beautiful Days Animes: Letter Bee - Letter Bee Reverse - Fairy Tail - Dantalian No Shoka - Ao No Exorcist - Death Note - Machine Doll Wa Kizutsukanai -Bakuman Gintama Yorinuki - Naruto - Tales of Xillia 2 -Diablo 3 : Reaper of Souls - One Piece - Original Animation Logs: Vegas 7, AE cs5, Photoshop CS5, Media Encoder CS5, Virtual Dub, 3DSMax Quick synopsis: Amberground is an hostile place with few natural lights and giant insects roaming. There is postmen called Letter Bees, which travel these dangerous maps in order to deliver importants letters . One day, Gauche, a Letter Bee, saves a young child left for dead in the barrens. Years passes and the young hero, Lag, decides to become a Letter Bee as well in order to help people. His first quest will be to collect an artifact on Sindria's island, a rare stone desired by not-so-good-intentioned people. Post mortem: - Spoiler:
- What went well:
Testing original animation with 3ds max and AE helped me to add a lot of variety in the AMV. I encountered a lot of problems and errors which helped me understand the logs better, so i'm sure the artistic feel will look a ton better in the next AMVs.
-What went bad:
The FT villain. i was forced to change the villain since the real boss from LB was cancerously anticharismatic and static. The villain from FT movie felt a lot more dangerous and powerful, but i wasn't able to make him appear sooner in the story, which would have been better.
Lights/Textures in 3dsmax sequences. Modeling and animating wasn't the big problem (i wanted to make it feel like Game of Thrones opening), yet the textures took an enormous amount of RAm because i didn't new how to optimize them. AS consequence, i wasn't able to make all the light adjustments than i wanted to do on my PC. It suffered a lot during rendering.
Vegas Alzheimer. Near the end, i notices vegas just "lost" sequences/scenes of the AMV that i wasn't working on/touched. It forced me to render it in parts and keep it the way it was, since more loss would have compromised the AMV itself. Then, i wasn't able to correct some elements in the amv, like the "manor" sequence i wanted to make more explicit.
One thing's sure, the next big amv i'll do won't make pompous complicated story twists or static main anime. Next one, i'll plan to use a more dynamic one. Anyway, what's done is done.

| I've been waiting so long for this! and God was it worth it! Amazing! 1st of all I must mention that the story here was nothing like something I have seen in an AMV before. It was actual deep and very well constructed story with lots of events taking place. It was hard to follow without focusing but here is where the best part comes. While making me focus very carefully on the story you suddenly come up with the very beautiful and huge 3D designs which just send the viewer to paradise! I thought that was a very well made move :) Every clip made perfect sense here and was needed to compliment the other clips, and the action was much intense. Basically its a perfect AMV for me. Much respect William! I really hope you score very high with this entry :) It really is one of my very favorite ones! - Spoiler:
Look mom! I'm in the credits of this super human video *^* !!

| Absolutely loved it. Fantastic on a technical level as well as delivering a story that I found thoroughly enjoyable especially after a read through of the synposis. I'll be looking forward to your next big project man! | |

| You already know what I think: - There is a lot of work in this video, it's clear that you worked on it for a lot of time. Unfortunately all your effort didn't come out with a video without defects. The more evident are: the story which is not very understandable, the static of the images (and sometimes there are some more dynamic in the wrong parts of the song) and all those little issues caused by your inexperience with what you've done here, which isn't your fault, but still the vision is affected by that. However, I hope you'll do better next time and good luck for the contest! 5/10 from me:
However congratulations for your placement! Good job Will! | |
