Contest video of AKROSS Con 2014

Author's comment: Hi Everyone. Really glad to be participating for the first time in this competition. I initially didn’t plan this and was only going to spectate simply because I had an AMV which I started earlier this year and got bored of it.

Coup de Grâce alludes to several metaphors associated with falling in love, the internal emotional struggle that occurs before the attraction turns into a stronger definition.

I wanted to make a something that felt like a “music video performance” think Michael Jackson’s thriller i.e. to have a basic story, dance routine, and artist performance. Really happy with the turnout. Might decide to make a “making of” if there is an interest for that.

I will like to thank S.T for making these lovely posters and also helping me at moments when I just couldn’t find a good matching source. I hope you guys enjoy watching this as much I had fun making it and wish every contestant good luck! Cheers.

Author's comment: Hi everyone, this is an attempt to make something pretty using an instrumental song that I fell in love with a while ago. It comes from the soundtrack of the "House of Flying Daggers", more specifically a memorable romantic scene. I know that the combination of a lack of lyrics and the relatively slow pace of the music can appear offputting in principle for an AMV, but it finally turned into an interesting challenge :).

I happened to finish it around December so I took the opportunity to enter it into Akross Contest. Thank you for watching :)

Author's comment: Real Playing Game

Video games evolved, they become more immersive so that players forget the reality. They meet other players, live in a virtual world and become without knowing prisoners of the game. But what are the consequences in the reality? Thanks for Watching! ;)

Author's comment: the finale to my series of Magi amvs! I wanted to match the mood and song style of my previous videos while at the same time showing a sort of evolution of the concept (it's not a third wavin' flag video! :D). I also wanted to show how much I've improved since my first Magi video xD

The focus of this AMV is Aladdin who I feel got the shaft in the first season of the anime despite being the proper protagonist. I wanted to convey the sense of hope present in the character as well as in the series. I switch between story and random bits a lot but I felt like it was necessary in order to match the feeling of the song. I had some quality issues trying to find sources but hopefully it came together well enough to make a good video!

:D enjoy!

Author's comment: Mafias fight for territories. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Who will be the last winner.

P.S. I'm trying to combine comedy with action, and making a lot of effort to the connection between the characters. My goal is to make the best comedy someday. Hope my work will interest you. Besides, I think the story is easy to understand, so I don't explain anymore. Enjoy it!

Author's comment: Ну и снова я с новым клипом... всё никак не бросается это дело. :) В принципе работой доволен, фэйдами и стробом не буду вас мучить, длинной продолжительностью тоже, все старался делать в меру и аккуратно.

По клипу: Когда красавец-жених, на глазах своей возлюбленной превратился в монстра и исчез, несчастная девушка после безуспешных попыток вернуть парня обратилась к некоему Цунами Сидзё, таинственному эксперту по сверхъестественным явлениям с просьбой о помощи...
