I want to do a really high concept AMV using "Wheel of Time" by Blind Guardian, basically making a story of Rand al'Thor's life in the Wheel of Time book series through various anime. The song is 9 minutes long and the idea is so crazy, it'd probably take me five years to do...

I'd watch that!

Honestly...don't think I've made it yet...have yet to create an AMV that I have thought, "this is it, this is craziest, most insane, out of my mind idea I have ever done and actually projected it perfectly as I envisioned." Started a video titled Black Rock Shooter in 2010 and thus far it's my most technically ambitious project to date which probably has something to do with the fact that it's an action video and I don't do those often. No idea when it will be completed but even when it is, the other ideas I have floating around, I consider better in terms of conceptuality. If I ever create a video that I consider my magnum opus then I suppose it's a fine time to retire, because what's the point when you've hit that particular threshold?

That sounds like a pretty awesome idea, I think you should do it (b^.^)b

Made one in the proceeding weeks since i last posted, with any luck you'll see it at Sakura con. With a directors cut coming out some time in the summer.

I like to think it's . It's certainly the one I'm the most proud of. Nine minutes long, did some editing backflips to get a new story out of it (Ahiru is never shown as a human)...tried my hardest to draw attention to subtleties in the music. It's obvious that Fantasia was my inspiration but I'm not ashamed to admit that.

Unfortunately there is a huge difference between the big convention screen experience and the computer screen experience. And I just don't have very many opportunities to show it on a big screen because if its length. But I have been very very happy with the audience response when it does get shown. Even if I assume they're actually reacting to Stravinsky's music at least the visuals didn't detract from that emotional experience.

I'd probably say mine is either Fate Against Will (I should probably do a new encode and find a different file host for the 720p60 version) or 永遠の瞬間に関しては [Eien no Shunkan ni Kanshite wa], but I'd hope the real answer is "I haven't made it yet."

Dammit, forgot the why part.

With Fate, even though it faithfully sticks to the source material's plot, it is probably the most structurally coherent of the videos I've done, as I made the concerted effort to move through the development in a clear manner. Also because of the difficulty I had in editing, rendering, and encoding it on a computer that by all rights should probably have keeled over 7 years ago.

Eien was a lot more conventionally edited, but I also specifically played the mood, and there's a couple editing and masking tricks I'm still rather proud of myself for.

Like I said before, though, I'd prefer it if the real answer was that I've not actually done anything close to my magnum opus yet. The forced hiatus from editing I'm currently experiencing due to finally having it with hardware limitations is really the only reason I haven't released anything since Eien.

As far as my LAMVs go, Brother, The Greatest Love Of All, and probably Free From The World.

AMVs? eh...I dunno, have I really made one? I have a lot of videos I could consider my Magnum Opus, it'd be easier if you just go watch my shit and pick one. -shameless self pimpage-
