Description:
Ok, if there is a thing that always amazed me, is the figure of the samurai, but in general more than the samurai, the figure fo the real Swordman. Actually i consider  the Swordman the perfection as warrior. What distinguish it from the other warriors , beside all those notorius things (honor, loyalty, etcc..) is that he has an incredibly power to raise after a fall and turning completely a situation to his advantage. The thing wanted doing in this amv, (is not a trailer or something else, just an anime-mix or tribute to swordmen figure if you prefer) is recreating exactly that "moment", when they realize to have that power to change the match they are fighting. More than a fight against the enemy, is a fight against their limits. To give that poetic touch i wrote and added from myself the comparison that from a prey (moment of disadvantage) they become the predator (in other words the ones who are controlling the match) and above all i loved always imaging them, when they are fighting with that spirit, they're doing a sort of rite, like for them it's becoming something more...every moves they do, every swing of their sword becomes so smooth and natural is like they are actually "dancing" (reason at the end why i chose that title). I know that images and footages i took for doing this are about only 3 animes, but at that time i  hadn't a deep knowledge of other anime to use. Despite the editing, that still have some mistake, i loved more the atmosphere and i concentrated a lot on it. Obviously for the ones who don't like this style i can't say much if not since months i'm trying to improve in every aspects. My growth process is not so fast at the end^^
Beside this long description, hope you enjoy it guys^^

Nice amv man, the predator-prey concept was pretty cool.

Yaaaaay!!! :D

I loved this one!!

i think this is the only vid of your ive seen aha.
i really liked the idea, was a really good one.

damm i love this vid of yours gian *^*

Really liked the concept and idea and to some the execution of it,since im an Erza and Saber fan,not much of a Zoro fan but still great idea.However there were some things i didn't like.

First of all the title,in my opinion something like "BladeDance","Way of the sword" "Dance of the Sword-Bearers" from the top of my head would be much more suitable.It might be that you don't know english that well or it could be just me but i would like to point out that at first glance "Dancing with their swords" gave me a smile.Then i see you tried a red tint on Erza,can't say that worked out perfectly,you might want to find news ways of doing that.The first use of colour inversion for impact was good,but after that it outstayed it's welcome,a nice solution would be darkening and some extreme colouring combined with some meddling with the vignette for these scenes but you should be more knowledgeable about this more than i am.

I've chosen that title mostly for the ending i'm honest even if is not the most situable but i loved that idea :D..but let's pass to the technical things...about color correction i admit, i'm not a beast like you watched already in the other amv, i've modified some presets i had in AE, for zoro scenes using a preset with deep black and clean white, and for erza warm colors, red + light rays and a bit of contrast, but i had more difficulties...i don't use usually programs like MBL or others, but just coz i prefer to not make colors too unnatural and so i played more and less only with curves...but i accept that it may be not the best solution, and i didn't think about the "darkening" solution neither..as i said in colors i'm not so good..

one last thing, how damn you can't like a boss like zoro XD o.O damn :p

thanks however peter for the tips
and glad even to all of you guys^^

How can i not like a fag with no sense of time and space?A guy who sleeps for half an arc?He has his moments but i think he's overrated,i like Usopp and Robin chwaan,people who run on oxygen and logic is in their vocabulary.

It's exactly this his epicness, the fact that when he's not in "battle mode" he's absolutely a stupid but epic guy XD...and he's not overrated, he's a boss
