I still disagree - it's the lyrics that make the story in this case, not subtitles.

And if you want to see story different from original and lyrics, I suggest looking for some instrumental vid, there are some like that out there.
You also might be interested in dokidoki's I Am An Outsider, which completely changes the view on the main antagonist of Fushigi Yuugi ;x

I'm sorry gotegenks, but you're full of shit. I didn't use any masking in that video at all.

but the lyrics were the subtitles...the subtitles were visual aids is all i'm saying, If the lyrics had been like Rob Thomas (super easy to understand what he's saying) It'd be the same, i'm just saying the subtitles (though necessary, not slamming on it, i like the video) were the key element in anybody understanding that story, maybe it could have been done without, but the presence of those subs were the words being said in our heads as the video went on.

my bad, black boxes, i get myself confused, in the software i use, sony vegas, that effect would be achieved by masking black boxes. Me and my circle would call it a mask just because you used it, but uhh, glad it was a misunderstanding :sweat:

well, u can always use a C.C. on a chroma keyed layer :| but anyways, my point with linking that vid was that it wasnt overly heavy and tbh, i can see that video without any black boxes still being humorous and getting the basic point across. :amv:

Then that guitar thingies popped up and went dun dun DUN dun then those box thingies went zooming by and twirling around and shit. Oh god, then the hexagons popped up and I was like 'I just got a stiffie'. Then there was the circle with those thingies going around and I blew my load.

it's a really simple concept though, the song alone could be understood by the 2nd or third watch if one were so pervertedly inclined (everybody here)

it's hardly a concept, just brilliantly ranged focus on the relationship of two characters.

What the hell? Mind you, The Dreamer is one of the best Fooly Cooly amvs ..
