Just finished uploading my latest video. Set to VanDread, it's an Action/Character profile vid (of Hibiki Tokai). The song "Rebel Yell" was supplied by Billy Idol. Yes, I realize I tend to do 80's music....comes from being in my thirties! LOL!

Anyhow the vid is worth the download IMO. Let me know what you think! It can be found at:

I downloaded because, well, I'm an 80s fiend. :p

I liked it well enough even though I've never seen Vandread and don't care for mecha anime - the song worked well for that kind of random-cool-shit-blowing-up video. High energy.

The one thing that bugged me, though, were the cheesy transitions, the sliding in from the corners, the shatter-into-squares one, and the V-shaped one about 3/4 of the way in. augh. Too many of those, IMO. If you have really flashy source like this, somehow it seems even worse to have cheesy transitions. I think the flat edges and whatnot are distracting compared to the CG. The parts that relied on less obtrusive editing worked much better.

But anyway. You made a non-fan of mecha watch a Vandread video, nice job! And it wasn't bad at all! Only that one thing annoyed me, otherwise s'cool. Thanks.

Dang, I would download it for the song alone if I could. Mebbe when I get back to my home comp....

Thanks for the kind words all!

Sarah, thanks for the advice. Since I still have the source footage on my hardrive, I'm planning on a couple more Vandread videos in the coming weeks. The one I'm working on right now is set to Golden Earring's "Twilight Zone". Not an 80's song (I'm a huge '80s music fan myself) but still quite rockin'!

Thanks again all!
