DISCLAIMER: All music, video, and images are Copyright their respective owners. I only arranged them. VERSUS
- Renji, Zaraki, Byakuya (manga: Bleach) My
Favorite Music Videos (made by others) List Versus
- Renji, Zaraki, Byakuya Although Bleach is also an anime, this is a music video set to the MANGA. I would love to have made it off the anime, but the anime was far behind the manga
at the time and the things going on in the manga were too cool to wait that long to make a video of. For this reason, there may be some SPOILERS for those who only seen the anime, but most of the shots in the video are so remixed and pass by so fast that few would be able to piece together anything that would significantly hinder your enjoyment of the anime. If anything, it is a preview of how awesome the anime is going to get once it reaches those parts, and also a promotion of how great the manga is. I tried my best to give the manga stills the illusion of motion, and I the result is far more convincing than I originally imagined. Hope you enjoy it!
Tribute
to Urahara Kisuke This video begins with a couple of introductory scenes from the anime, but don't worry the music begins just 1 minute 8 seconds into the video. I felt this setup was necessary to introduce Urahara as having a reputation for being badass and then have most of the video be about him doing cutesey things. Oh, and fighting, too, don't worry! Besides my love to Urahara, this video was inspired by the idea of portraying relatively violent scenes to relatively happy music (hence it is set to "Shiny Happy People"). Because that is funny to me.
Jenova's
Legacy Lets get this out of the way first, THIS VIDEO CONTAINS ***MAJOR SPOILERS***
Sibling
Rivalry Why
N'sync? Because nobody else would...
Final
Battle A short video set to the dramatic last half of
Rhapsody's "Dawn of Victory" song which I think is just beautifully perfect for the final battle between Dante and Vergil in
Devil May Cry
3.
Lucifer
- In His Head First of all, this is a Lucifer tribute using the MANGA of Angel Sanctuary and therefore contains lots of SPOILERS!! And
by quadruple layer blitzkrieg of effects I mean... this
is what a normal music video looks like ("VERSUS
- Renji, Zaraki, Byakuya"), and this
is a music video on CRACK ("Lucifer
- In His Head"). Not necessarily better, just very very
painful and mind-boggling...
Strong
Enough I've
been wanting to do this video for over a year and a half, but I
could never get the video files to work in Adobe Premiere. I
finally realized that I can convert them to compatible WMV's
through Windows Movie Maker. Yay!! So here it is, my long overdue
tribute to Ichigo and the Soul Society story arc - this time using
the anime!
A music video I made to the
song "White Reflection." It is a Japanese song and
some feel it comes off happy, but I think the chorus is very
dramatic. I also wanted to get across a sense of beauty and
purpose. I picked this song because it had enough switches in
rhythm that would allow me to include the scenes that I wanted
and pace the storytelling to my liking. The main chorus is
reserved for the final scenes of the bomb falling into the sun,
and the secondary chorus is for general plot progression. The
climax of the song has a unique musical rhythm dedicated to Capa
confronting the Sun. The words translate
as a love song, and that is what I meant it to be: a love song
to the Sun. A Sun x Capa tribute. DOWNLOAD
this video!
Dante
> Nero Well,
I've always wanted to make a music video set to the Diva Dance
from Fifth Element ("Lucia di Lammermoor" by Inva
Mula-Tchako), and since Nero's girlfriend is an Opera singer I
though it fitting to dedicate this song to their undying
love......... Just kidding, I hate Nero... a lot. I just figured
the last third of the song works great to show how effortlessly
better Dante is than Nero. It's short but effective. This is also
the first time that I tried to incorporate in-game sounds
(slashes, gunshots, Nero's growling) into the mix. I wish I had
better quality video, and I wish the Lucifer weapon turned out
cooler, but oh well.
Carol
of the God Hand When
I said I was going to do a Berserk music video, I never imagined
it would be to "Carol of the Old Ones"... So, without
further adieu, the lyrics! Look
to the sky, way up on high Stars
brightly burning, boiling and churning Up
from the sea, from underground

Hobbits 1 Ring I
wanted to do a Lord of the Rings music video ever since I saw the
movie, but couldn't decide on a storyline or find a fitting song.
Well good thing I waited a few years, or the video would've been
all about Legolas, lol. I really don't know how it happened, but
over time my interest in Legolas disappeared and I became
completely fascinated with Frodo, Sam, and Gollum/Smeagol. Which
is good, since they are the most important storyline. :P Then one
day I was listening to one of my favorite songs, "The Hand
That Feeds" by Nine Inch Nails and then it hit me like
lightning. After all, how many songs are there about hand biting??
I was thoroughly amused. Originally I intended the video to be
about Gollum, but I think Frodo took over by the end. Because he's
just too damn adorable. Furthermore, the initial "hand
biting" joke evolved into a deeper exploration of friendship,
betrayal, and power struggle over the One Ring. Rant
about making this video.
Trouble in Wonderland
Okay! I've been wanting to make a Pandora Hearts music video
to "Bye Bye Beautiful" by Nightwish
since the first week I watched it, but three things stopped me:
(1) I couldn't find all the raw episodes (without subtitles)
I needed.
I've been playing various
ideas over and over in my head for at least two weeks until
finally something clicked and I hit a point where I had most of
the video planned out and got the feeling that I can pull it off.
Unfortunately this also meant minimizing the screentime for my two
favorite characters: Gilbert and Break. You know I love a series
for the plot when many of my favorite scenes end up on the cutting
room floor! So, the video focuses heavily on Jack/Oz and Alice. In
fact, it should probably come with a warning: Jack does not get
NEARLY as much screentime in the series as he does in this video!!
On top of this, lets just say that Pandora Hearts isn't the most
action packed series in the world. Its appeal is in the intricate
plot and the fighting is secondary, so I had a hell of a time
finding action clips, impressive though they may seem in the
finished product. (I managed to make Pandora Hearts look exciting!
Isn't that amazing?) Also, needless to say, THE VIDEO IS
NONSTOP SPOILERS!!
As I worked on it I realized
that the episodes have a staggering amount of still frames, even
by anime standards. Sometimes I thought Premiere Pro froze on me,
but no, it was just an ungodly long still frame. On the bright
side, this meant I could cut out huge chunks to splice together
successive movements. The same goes for its overuse of looping
frame sequences, which meant I could keep a shot going FOREVER.
Hooray for cheap animation!! That said, this video was hell to
make. Sure I made it in three days, but that was three days of
nonstop work where I could eat a little cup of beans in the
morning and forget that I'm hungry until 3am the next morning.
(This video is brought to you by Sleep Deprivation! Because what
would ever get done without it?)
This is probably the most
technically advanced video using an animated source that I've ever
made. It has shots slowed down, sped up (sometimes by 900%+),
played backwards, flipped horizontally, hyper editing, you name
it! But perhaps the biggest new thing I tried was blurring out the
subtitles. Good idea in theory, an absolute nightmare in practice.
I had to blur out (and crop the blur of) 140 subtitles. It was not
as quick as I had anticipated. At all.
