Berserk Manga Music Video

I have created an AMV using only Berserk manga scans. I attempted to keep the video from feeling like a slide show by various methods to add motion to the scene, including some simple animation using multiple layers or warping in some instances.

The music is 'The Wonders At Your Feet' by Dark Tranquillity, and of course, the video is done with Berserk manga scans.

If you are a Berserk fan, a Metal fan, or just want to check out something less ordinary, go here.

I think under normal circumstances, the series/song combination would have been a bit unoriginal, but fuck that.

I never thought an MMV could be so damn good, even if it must have involved a lot of Photoshop along the way.

This video just a great piece of work. I've only been following the Berserk manga for a short time, so I really enjoyed seeing all those scenes from before I picked it up.

That was really, really neat.

I mean, I had no idea how someone could pull off something like that, but your directorial sense rawks.

Thanks for all the great comments! As for the effects, I've added some details on how the more frequent ones were done in the video info page. The short answer is using lots of layers and creative blending/transparency/masking.

This video just screams for an opinion. Thus I won't say anything here anymore, just that I want everyone to watch this fucking awesome video.

Wow man, that video was pretty insane. It makes me sad knowing that its not animated yet as the closest thing to the rest of the manga animated is the ps2 berserk game. Still you really kept it flowing well considering its a bunch of still frames and you really captured the feel of berserk....... Also the credits were quite entertaining!
