Alright, let’s start from the beginning.
Yeah, switching between the singer and the movie clips was just one of my ideas to make it look more official, since most MVs I see looks more like amateur work, especially with their poor synchronicity of the flow of the music with the clips.
Working with some of those clips, like the 0:16 alternating vehicle can be kind of hard because if I cut away the glitching scene, I cut away the length of the entire video as well, which means the synchronicity of the entire clip would be broken.
I know I could had added another clip myself so as to piece in the broken section, but working on the video for three days kinda wears you out. Well, at least it wore me out. I had to stop writing my fan fiction because of the stupid project.
Yeah, the music did skip; another issue I tried to correct, with disastrous results. When I pieced the new scenes with the old MV together, the clip just kinda skipped one part. So, what I did was cut away that part, and thus, I had to cut away the music as well to repair the synchronicity. Unfortunately, that’s what you see here.
Now, about the clips you guys complain about, saying how you’d rather another clip to be used. I feel that those clips are necessary for that part of the music. Maybe you guys don’t feel so, but… well, let’s just take a look at some of them.
The still Conan scene with him staring at the window was to add that dramatic touch to the effect, making him seem like he’s pondering on taking a chance with Violet or something.
The darkness of the Violet scenes naturally add that sorrow feeling to Violet, making her look like she’s actually having a very troubling dilemma - whether to go out with Conan or not, etc.
And the ‘Go baby go’ part, well, that was just for humor because I like how Bob says it, or at least, seems like he said it.
The still scene where Conan raised his pinky - there was no dialogue. It was the end of the movie where a silent scene takes place, and Conan just rise up from the bottom looking at his pinky. I thought it was more a dramatic pause, if you will.
The entire song, I didn’t feel like it need that energetic effect to keep the scenes jetting after one another like an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. It is classified under the romance genre, so I thought a slow pace was appropriate. Apparently, you guys don’t think so, so anyway…
2:12 - 2:37. I love that part. The way Conan ‘fly up to the heaven’ was very good, and it seems like you’ve missed that added effect, TDIT. But anyway. The man with the suit, if you read the subtitles, he was asking Conan who he is, and then he subsequently replied with the large font subtitles, “Need not to know,” which kinda makes him look cool and, also, made Violet jumped and go, “Oh!” But yeah, it was a mix of voicing, so one person could be saying this and another that, you just have to notice.
2:42 was not intentional. I just wanted to show Conan being awkward when Violet says, “Friday,” in the scene before.
Also, there was a little scene before that when Violet defended Conan, and if you read the subtitles carefully, he said, “Awesome.” Again, another added shipping (romantic pairings between fictitious characters) effect.
I think my MV is like WALL-E, it just needs to be appreciated rather than be criticized. It has a whole lot of meaning to it and the story (which everyone, including you, TDIT, seemed to miss out on) behind it is, to me, rather compelling, especially when I’m a Conan fan like that.
And yes, it is a very good anime for the young and old, not only because it is a crime related show, but because it is a full blown drama series with various elements. You not only see the common Japanese romantic couples, you get to learn a lot of different stuff from it, but mostly about Japanese, of course. However, I’ve learned about the Interpol from it. I’ve learned about how the CIA only helps the US.
I’ve learned about birds, too. Yeah. Screw Animal Planet.
And, the reason I said that my video will never be like yours, TDIT, it is because it’s the truth. What you’ve seen here is my best, and I could never break through the limit. So, if you be wanting to watch my next videos, don’t watch them unless you want to be sitting through three minutes of your life watching a video of the same quality as this one, because that’s just how good I can go. Period.
TDIT’s You Know My Name even got honored recently before TSS’ review arrived, so it was kinda disheartening learning that my video, no, videos, could never come close. I’d be lucky if it ever gets rated a five star, which, BTW, you guys haven’t rated yet, but never mind (would probably be a three star anyway ).
About the comment you left there, TDIT, I’ve set the video to receive comments automatically, so you can post your comment without approval now. Somehow, I couldn’t receive a message that requires my authentication, so, screw that. I’ll just leave my video open to any flames people want to post there.
I believe crossover-videos are the toughest to make, because
1, you cannot remove some faces in the scenes. Sometimes, the character you intend to show case just always have other characters around them, especially Violet with her, again, I reemphasized, limited scenes.
2, the animation styles. Conan’s 2-D is always going to be 2-D. No way am I capable of changing it to 3-D. I’m not Brad Bird. If I am, we wouldn’t be having this discussion here, so, screw that.
My next video. Even though my next one is going to be about the Incredibles Young Generation fan fic which I’m semi-working on, it’s going to be quite unprofessional because 1), I cannot remove the subtitles from the scenes from the Japanese series which look a lot better in quality than the English dub without the subs and 2), I don’t have a character to base on for Akai, who is a fan made character I based off the personality of Conan, so you will be seeing Conan in the place of Akai, and 3), the Digimon, they are going to be in there, period. If you see a shade of orange, don’t go, “Oh, hey! I saw a Birdramon in there! Ha ha, noob! 6/10!”
No.
I can try and eliminate as much Digimon scenes as I can, but that’s just it; I am no god. I wish to be an MV god at some point of time, maybe, but not in this lifetime.
Oh, yeah, one more thing before I call this off,
4), I can’t find a lot of Akai/Conan clips, because Conan don’t have superpowers. Finding Kari clips ain’t going to be easy as well, especially when I don’t know how to send the scenes from the Jack-Jack short I have into the WMM. So, yeah, Conan will be mostly seen running around without his superpowers unless I can find some, maybe, Spike scenes (the projectile shooting mutant from X-Men), otherwise, it’s going to look like another piece of 6/10.
Let’s not forget about the Tony limited scenes. You guys are going to complain about that again, not like I have any other choice.
Buddy scenes, too. Great, another downfall.
Luckily, the clip is only going to be as long as an anime opening going to go, so, yeah, it will be a short one, but it will take a long while to make, because I still don’t really feel very confident about this anymore. It’s like I’m going to screw up in the next second and BOOM, it goes into my face and another 6/10, or worse.
Anyway, thanks for the review, TDIT, sorry I can’t do the same for your fan fic yet and, probably for a long time from now with the incoming dark days ahead.
