Needs more cowbell!

Been too long since I seriously worked on a video. Put out two five years ago, then got a new computer, new software, then a new life. Things have finally settled down, thankfully.

The biggest thing that bugged me about my first two videos is that while reception with regard to concept and execution was great, the picture quality on them was, suffice to say, crap. In the intervening time I also found that they weren't as focused as I'd originally thought to boot, and so I figured that a remaster would be a good way to both fix what had been bothering me and really hone my skills with the software. Seeing my Iron Maiden video near the top of the recommended metal AMV list gave me a bit of motivation to improve its appearance as well, I guess you could say. Update on that one is about 60% done.

Along the way what started out as a simple remaster turned into a total retooling in many ways, and as such I'm going to be leaving up the old version in case anyone cares to check it out.

Hope y'all enjoy the video!

I recently just had a obsession over this song~

The interlacing was a turn off. Also could not fully understand the story in this
but in the end I did enjoy watching it.. Cowbell ftw.

Hey now, that wasn't bad. BUT! You need to fix the video quality, make the bitrate higher and render it so it isn't interlaced. If you have vegas rendering it at 23 fps might help.
Other then that it was pretty cool.

Yeah, it was a bit of an adventure trying to get this thing encoded for distribution today; exported it about 20 times or so with things coming out over a wide variance. Oddly, I deinterlaced the clips when I exported them to DV from the VOBs, but the interlacing came back when I exported. Guess the program didn't do as good of a job as I'd thought after all in that regard.
