Author's comment (перевод): Творчество этой работы - любовное письмо, посвященное всем старым двумерным людям. Пары, разлученные навсегда, непоправимые сожаления, любовь между жизнью и смертью, это незабываемые моменты в истории анимации. было глубоко заложено в сердцах зрителей. Так же, как и название фильма, фэнтези бесконечного измерения, в тысячах вселенных обязательно будет такой теплый финал, позволяющий проявиться чудесам.

Author's comment: I have been working on this AMV for over 5 years.
All masking was done by hand, frame by frame, either with Photoshop CS4 or After Effects CS4. I have edited almost every frame in this video.

A long overdue video, about the story of two Jujutsu Sorcerers who were the strongest and had a connection between them like no one else has had, but due to the tragic world they lived in, had to question their morals and role in this world. A story about Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru.

The speakers blasted an ambient composition laced with ethereal melodies weaving a tapestry of sound that seemed to lift the very air. The audience entranced, drawn into the ebb and flow of tunes that hinted at distant lands and limitless possibilities.

A radiant glow illuminated the stage, casting waves of shimmering light across the audience in hues of purple and blue, witness of a moment unlike any other as the travelers emerged from the gateway. The music resonating with their elemental essences, merging with the electronic beats, a bridge between two worlds light years apart, the harmonious convergence.

They felt the melodies speaking a universal language—one of harmony and wonder, an enduring power transcending boundaries. The enthralling soundscape was for that brief interlude capable of blending realms together.

Has it really been 8 years since the last AMV? That’s crazy. Well I haven’t been totally inactive during this time since I still managed to create some stuff and a lot of other things have happened also. Have I still got my flow? This is probably not what you were expecting, nothing really fancy or ground breaking but this project contains a lot of moving parts and is technically several levels above my previous productions even though most of the required micro adjustments are mostly invisible in the final product. I won’t bore you with the details. I really haven’t been keeping in touch with the new generation of AMV people so it’s hard for me to tell if this is still considered triple A production but in my own world this is a significant achievement. And yes I’m calling it AMV, sue me.

The original plan was to make something quick and easy but I ended up making something a bit more sophisticated and special in celebration of 20 years since my first AMV was released on the 31th of May 2004.

I was beginning to get serious about AI tools and started experimenting with rotoscoping tools and Genshin Impact trailers. The direct output was less than ideal but served as good basic draft to confirm the compositing and timing. It then required lengthy and laborious manual adjustments both in positive and negative masks, at 60 fps of course. It probably was overkill but I wanted to see how far I could push it. I’m really not sure that the AI rotoscoping ended up saving me a lot of time as the character and costume design in Genshin is so intricate with overloaded backgrounds making the AI very confused at times. Some sequences required up to 10 hours of work to get things right, a sort of brain-dead job that I could focus on while listening to podcasts or re-watching old series, a great escape from real life problems actually.

The title “Light Years” is the English translation of Lichtjahre which also reflects my idea of 2 worlds separated by space and time.

The highlight regarding editing was trying to mimic the excellent transitions found in Genshin Impact trailers. Some transitions required 2 or 3 evenings to get perfect but I was pleased to occasionally get this special feeling when I throw something on the timeline and see it magically work. I took every new idea as a challenge of some sort and it ended up working better that expected almost every time.

In the end it took me over a year to complete this project however I wasn’t able to work on it every week. Sure, the quality has increased but It’s interesting that even though I never had this much free time before in my life, it still takes this long to complete a video. See you guys in 2032 for the next Nostromo AMV.
