Interesting stuff. Felt that there could have been another cut here and there, but it had a good atmosphere, and I enjoyed it.

I tried downloading the movie twice and playing it (using both Firefox and Quicktime Player 7.1.6 - it is an mp4, yes?); all I got was the audio of Ron Perlman narrating; I didn't get any video at all. Should I be using a different application?

1) Yes, quicktime is not ideal (best would be to try VLC player which has built-in codecs to play most stuff, else Media Player Classic or Zoom Player which are also good)

2) The reason you can't play it is probably the codec. The video is encoded with a fairly new h264 codec. I suggest getting CCCP for a complete codec package.

Thanks, Otohiko! Everything is crystal-clear now!

I thought the mood was down pat - and I don't care what's been said about the stills and the credits, it did what it was supposed to do, and it was great! Vash walking away was a great touch, nice tip of the hat to FO1. Not too many gripes, except I wish people would make more AMV's of '30's jazz. I looked the Ink Spots and there was only one AMV set to their music!

Guess I know what my next project's going to be...

I gave it a 4/5. Novelty factor was nice, but rewatch factor was a little low.

That was awesome. I can only imagine projecting this on a screen in a dark room, and how strong it would be then...

I see your point, but perhaps it helps a little not to specifically stare at them? At the first watch everyone is bound to take a look at the credits, but after that you can pretty much ignore them.

Very possible. For us who know the game, I think we get some novelty and nostalgia bonus points from this.

Shows one can do something with them.
