Always in My Heart - Otakon 2005 Romance Entry

dwchang · Post by **dwchang** » Tue Aug 23, 2005 1:57 pm

So I'm finally back home (after a long drive yesterday) and figured I should join in on the Otakon AMV release wagon

.

Anyway, here was my Romance entry into the contest. As you can expect, it's to an 80's love ballad and quite sappy (even for me

) so I don't expect everyone to enjoy it. If you thought Bakadeshi's entry was sappy well...yeah >_>. Let that be your warning

.

Title: Always in My Heart
Artist: Chicago
Song: You're the Inspiration
Video Source: Vision of Escaflowne, Fushigi Yuugi, Ah! My Goddess, Ai Yori Aoshi, Final Fantasy X and X2

I don't expect everyone to read my giant video descriptions, so yes, I realize the beginning portion may seem a wee bit familiar, but it's intentional. I also realize the concept (?) is pretty one-sided, but given the lyrics of the song that should be expected. And well, this is me we're talking about -_-;;.

And as a few folks have noted, my apparent reign of terror at Otakon is over

. *insert cheers* Bakadeshi, myself and other talented editors were literally murdered by (imo) a comedy video and in turn I will try the opposite to see if it holds.

So doki and suberunker: I'm coming for you with a Romance video in Comedy in Otakon 2006!

Lastly, thanks to everyone who helped me with this video including AtomX, MeriC, silver_moon, Corran, Rozard and Castor Troy.

I hope you enjoy it!

This video has more sap than a sequoia.

The ___shot parts are gold.

haha... *pats DWchang consolingly*

Next year I'll probably be in either Action or comedy though, I have a few ideas I want to try ;p

Video was sappy as hell, but I personally didn;t like it as much as some of your other vids, mostly because certain sources (that you obviously choose for a reason ^_-) clashed with some of the others to me. As always good editing though ;p I realy thought yours was going to get second place, but I guess SnhKnives pulled ahead with ancient technology and FLCL ;p

I REALLY loved this video. It worked very nicely, and your transition into the FFX clips from regular anime were so smooth. I really liked most of the romance videos, but this one was definitely a fav. Very nice work.

Note to me: Horray for Chicago. Well I liked the overall atmosphere of the video altogh I normally don't really like romance videos. But the sceneselection and the use of that much different sources is a bit distracting.

Well honestly it's not my favorite vidoe either

. Just and idea I had that kinda fit my "trend"

. Actually the most prominent complaint I got through beta-testing is the clashing of sources which to some degree I agree with.

Oh well...

Thanks! I was very worried about the transition and hence used a glow effect-thing to make it a bit more smooth.

In any case, it was nice meeting you at Otakon.

Yes, Chicago does in fact rock. Both the city and the band

Yeah, not your best video but it's definately a damn good one. I liked the overall tone and the very slick editing. Plus I'm a bit of a sucker for these romance videos.

My best friend is a big fan of OMG and Escaflowne, as well as Peter Cetera so she was once again singing your praises! (I think you've got a fangirl on your hands...

)
