Post #1: Fanvids

[elsewherecw.livejournal.com]

Heh, just barely on time. ^^; I have more to post as well, which will be a little bit late...but since Alice posted on my day, I don't think I'll feel too bad if I end up posting on hers. ^_~

Behind the cut you'll find links to download two B5 fanvids. I actually made the first versions of these as part of a set of four back in December over the Christmas break, but nobody ever got to see them but me. (Rightly so...they were complete crap.) Although I call these 'remasters', it's not strictly true---these are remakes, entirely from scratch, and hopefully much better. I hope you enjoy them.

A note on quality: The B5 DVDs are...well, a total pain in the ass. They're noisy (in the sense of film noise and artefacts), the occasional random hybrid encode pops up (damn you, Ceremonies of Light and Dark!), and of course, the poor transfer of the CGI over to the DVDs has been well documented elsewhere. Anyway, I've tried to clean up the footage as best I can, but I'm just a noob, so I'm sure there are still plenty of noticeable issues. My apologies. BTW, if anyone else is into this kind of thing and has a wicked Avisynth script suggestion to better clean up these DVDs or anything like that, please do let me know. Any suggestions are welcome.

Simply put, a video about the consequences of Anna's return and John's sacrifice.

A sickly sweet, saccharine J&D video. ^_^; Seriously, be prepared to be blown away by the sheer power of the WAFF.

Let me know if you have any problems downloading or playing them. If you have problems because you have a slow connection or anything like that, I can (reluctantly ;P) encode smaller, lower quality versions upon request.

EDIT 2:05 PM: New YSI links. ^_^

Yeah do you have a better quality one? Because the other one's audio was disabled.

Oh yeah, now that you mention it, I see that it was. ^^ Too bad.

I'll send that to you ASAP...I have to get it off my other computer, though, and I'm just about to go out of town so it might take me a little bit. I'll get it to you Sunday at the latest, okay? :)

Thanks for your interest in the video, by the way.

No problem. It was my favorite shoujo-ai amv and actually that's what got me into Ayumi Hamasaki's music (then I found out she did some Inuyasha openings/closing songs) and also got me to want to watch the anime. I'm trying to get the last 2-3 seasons now :)

Re: Question

[elsewherecw.livejournal.com]

That's sweet, thank you. :) I'm really glad you enjoyed it. That's cool that it got you into Ayumi's music as well...I, too, got into Ayumi's music originally because of watching somebody else's AMV that used one of her songs ('Evolution'), so that's kind of ironic. ^_^

I hope you manage to get your hands on those last seasons---I assume you're talking about of Marimite? The 4th season was just amazing. ^^

Anyway, here's that link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GFKJ2EUN

I hope you don't have any problems downloading it. :)
