I didn't plan to edit this at all but I had to when I heard the song in the music pack! The clash of styles fits mine and the singers are both Belgian after all so it's probably the most Belgian video you'll watch this year. I tried to stay close to the lyrics while keeping the identity I put in my various. Some parts are a little meta, with reference to previous works and symbolism here and there, not that you need all that to appreciate the video: it's still mostly about flow. Was far from being easy, but the more I worked on it, the clearer the vision got and at the end I'm really happy with the result.
Ah bah oui. X Enjoy!

My IC for Back to Basics where we were forbidden from using special FX (with some exceptions). I'm immersed in Persona 4 at the moment, so I was inspired to edit with the animes. To me, the song really has parts where it sounds like straight from the game like a Boss OST or something. I mixed the 3 animes, firstly because they're not of the highest quality in terms of animation and then also because it felt more interesting since the games reuse a lot of similar codes to tell their story so it was fun to combine them all in one. I tried to focus on the "cool" aspect of the protagonists. Anyways, enjoy!

Here's my new video for Japan Expo 2023 where I got 12th. It's not really my usual style but I wanted to make it anyways as a little tribute to an old video from Cross. It was fun to mix old and newer sources and to adapt to this kind of animation, I think it worked out in the end! I hope you'll enjoy!
On the video, this Railgun character is one of my fav in Railgun, she has stars in her eyes and Oshi no Ko will be overused soon so might as well take the lead. Funny that when I edit dance category I can lean to action and in the action category, I'm leaning to dance but hey it was fun to make! (And hearing the song Starry Eyed again was a blast from the past, such a classic)
I hope you'll enjoy o/

I recommend downloading for best experience. Hello! This is my entry for Soul's Team IC XIX which I entered with @LucioleAMV and @novax7469 . This year, I wasn't really feeling the dance category and no songs really inspired me to push for it. So I fled to this special "Gladiator pit" category, a bit niche probably, but the music was too good to let go.
Pretty obvious for Genshin players but I took inspiration from Raiden Shogun trailer video and character.
Title is a play of words between Yami (Darkness) and "dō" coming from words like "bushidō" or "kendō", so it's the "way of darkness" or "Dark Road" (yes it's another reference to a Kingdom Hearts game). It's also answering the music's title "Hikari" meaning Light.

#raidenshogun #amv #genshinimpact[MagicDarkLight] deepDive.in(Dreams)MagicDarkLight2022-11-10 | It's been a minute since my last solo. I really enjoyed editing this for Daiguren IC though! I mixed 3 animes around the same theme of diving into data/dream-like "virtual reality" and tried to find or create as many connections as possible while keeping the editing smooth and fun to watch.
I wasn't necessarily sure I wanted to edit the Dance category but when I heard this song in the pack, of course I just had to. It was very straightforward to edit and felt really good to go "back to my roots" even if last year's KingDUM was also a dance video, I feel like Quadratum resembles me the most.

I am happy with my ranking, I just wanted to make a clean and solid action video with this Guilty Gear OST that, imo, really has this old school opening/ost vibe which reminds me of Dragon Ball. Not much more to say, I hope you'll enjoy!
This video is a remake of one part of one I did back in 2010 (Aquilon). Back then, it wasn't even selected for CDC category. It is my 10th participation in Japan Expo so I wanted to end the loop on a high note even though I know it won't be most people's tea. I did it mainly for myself and had a lot of fun! I hope some of you will enjoy, see you soon o/
It's been a while since my last solo so here we are! I just wanted to blow some steam so I edited with a pretty high pace and focused on flow rather than visuals. The association just came as an evidence and I hope you'll enjoy it, it's also a celebration as the last chapter was released recently, perfect timing!
We meet again in a Dance amv in Scala ad Caelum. This is for the famous contest: Soul's Team Iron Chef XV. We entered the contest with Zuuki and Luciole, go check their videos as soon as you can!!
There are a lot of references to Kingdom Hearts in this video, for what it's worth, it felt very good to edit and I feel like my journey in this category is complete now (not meaning it will really be the last). I hope I can win though, it would be really meaningful to me.
I hope you enjoy, I had to collab with my former novice since loooong ago because I accepted once when he was still too young (like 2012-2013) and got demotivated right away. In 2019 of course, the situation changed a lot and so you finally have it! I'm really happy with the result, I think we had a good alchemy together, we adapted to each other!
Ok description is long enough, oh btw this is for the IC Crows DuoSide, results are not out yet !
- This stream is an attempt at live commenting AMVs I asked people to suggest to me on my Twitter. I chose 5 videos so that it doesn't last too much but if it's cool, I might do it again another time. - Some videos, I already know, some I don't but anyways I will watch them once fully without saying anything then I'll go ahead and detail my thoughts - My comments will derive from both my experience and the community I am from, the points I will be focusing on might not be as important as I make it sound for other communities. However, I am pretty confident most of the general advice I'll give will always be good to take into account from a general "editing" point of view, regardless of how useful they will be depending on the competitions you enter - That being said, my thoughts are not AMV France's thoughts - If I think we have time, I can take requests from chat

My Twitter: twitter.com/MagicDarkLight[MagicDarkLight] Stella:Re↑ (7th Japan Expo 2018)MagicDarkLight2018-07-09 | Hello! It's my video for Japan Expo 2018, I wanted to do something more ambitious but didn't have the time and the energy, however I have to say I'm really happy I made this one. I was hesitating between this song and the one for Estrella during the Soul's team IC, hence the anagram for Stella:Re.
It's also a call back to several of my videos, Stella Carta, Ignescence, Fulgurance, Luminescence and even Black Impulse. But it's also a foreshadowing of something new that will come later this year I hope.
So yes, it's a very MDL video, not original and whatever but don't tell me to calm down. Just enjoy.
It's my new AMV, I made it for IC Tunisia. I love this song and I think it fits well with some themes in this anime. I didn't try hard or anything but it was very enjoyable to edit this, it's been quite a long time since I made some chill edit on a solo with only one anime so yeah!

I liked a lot of songs in the music pack this year but I had to choose and it was no easy task haha. Anyways, it's always so much fun to edit this style, I actually tried a few things here and there even if my focus always stays on scene selection and flow.
The concept was simply to give the opportunity to newer editors (tbh very wide spectrum) to make a mep under the supervision of one of the "veteran" volunteers, well it ended that we were the only ones to finish our mep but hey we did it!!
DEVINEZ QUI REVIENT SUR LES PLANCHES!! J'avais ce MAD en tête depuis longtemps mais j'ai jamais pris le temps ni le courage. Mais le son était prévu depuis minimum 5 ans, c'est un classique. Ca faisait 3 ans que j'avais pas try hard sur un solo et ça a pas été facile de reprendre AE à 100% au début mais plus le clip avançait et plus je retrouvais mes marques. J'ai aussi appris beaucoup de choses.
Il y a un petit thème post-apocalyptique mais le côté nucléaire vient surtout de la source, la meuf du clip c'est Utsuhou Reiuji et son thème c'est Nuclear Fusion donc voilààà, c'est juste pour ça. Il y a pas spécialement de message ou quoi, au cas où vous avez kiffé parce que vous êtes la réincarnation de Nicolas Hulot.
Pour la fin, j'avais prévu depuis un moment de faire évoluer le clip vers de plus en plus de scènes animées, déjà parce que je suis un AMV maker et pas un MAD maker, puis j'aime bien mixer les deux, j'trouve ça frais, j'ai pas vu beaucoup de mads qui le font comme ça à part NEC à la limite. Et donc ouais à la fin j'ai mis mes inspirations, à part pour Kain je leur ai jamais parlé mais j'surkiffe leurs créations donc j'vous invite à les regarder si vous connaissez pas.
Je suis très content d'être arrivé 4ème, j'ai battu mon record j'ai eu un super poster, enfin rentrer dans le top 5 ça fait du bien Very Happy Prochaine étape top 3!
Enjoy!

I didn't find anything that inspired me in dance so I went to Psyche but of course, it's not really the style I had in mind at first. It was a nice change of pace, I also changed of team mates, no God Eater this year, we went for Kingsglaive so go check Kami and Oeryx videos as well!! Twisted Hours is a finisher in KH Birth by Sleep.
My vid for Online Contest 2016, it's been a while since I've made a solo so I'm glad to release that! The association is pretty obvious but I wanted to give a bit more freshness by mixing two remix, I think it sounds cool. I tweaked the story of the anime a little bit here and there but you shouldn't focus too much on that imo, I just wanted to convey somewhat of a funky oldish school mafia atmosphere. I hope you'll enjoy!
After 2 years, we finally come back with a bang! 8 can be seen as the infinity symbol, so even though we said 7 was the end, it was only the last of the first season! I am really happy we came back, I had the opportunity to edit stuff like FF, Naruto vs Sasuke and DGM, it was really fun \o/ I hope you'll love it, see ya soon!
Trivia: - I mixed 2 songs this time. - I tried to add some self-references to my vid here and there, as well as my usual scene signatures. Try to find them all! jk - The title's from the Command Style Rhythm Mixer in KH and it's a pun with the star.

I've loved this song for a lonnng time (along with other Imogen ones) but would have never edited to it in other circumstances. And I didn't have any ideas for another category so yeahhh! Oh and I thought that in the end I would edit a classy action video but I'm not the MC of FYC, it seems I can edit romance just fine :P
That was really fun to do, I was really into it except that I was really limited by the anime because it's new and I had only 4-5 episodes. But I think I managed to narrate decently.
"Vous voulez de l'amv?!" means "You wanna see amvs?!"
Here's the official trailer for the biggest french international amv contest. If you have some time, try to make and send something for this contest :). For my part i'm actually making a video.

I am usually not very sensitive about things like that, but this man was so talented I still can't understand how he could die. This just isn't right.
His family asked people to make something creative in lieu of flowers. And so I did an AMV. But it's been a while since I wanted to make a RWBY video and maybe to show it to him. I've never thought it would be under such circumstances. This is far from being a mentionable work, even amongst mine but I wanted to keep it simple. Someday I will definitely make something really interesting, either with RWBY itself or one of the song from the show.
I chose Mirror Mirror, simply because the White Trailer was the one that really made me go all hype and crazy about RWBY. This is one of my favourite song, yes it sounds sad, but I didn't want to give a sad meaning to it today, the final scene where everybody falls from the sky is the true answer to the question. Watch the mirror and try being a better person and more creative.
This took me a long time, I feel a bit late but it wasn't that easy to make this video. I was conflicted between feelings that it wasn't good enough and will to keep it simple. I wish it was better and made quicker, as he was a very meticulous man who loved efficiency. But I'll work hard.
Monty left but his works will always remain. Not only that but he was also a great personality and left us with wise words, here's just a quote that I really like from him.
"I believe that the human spirit is indomitable. If you endeavor to achieve, it will happen given enough resolve. It may not be immediate, and often your greater dreams is something you will not achieve within your own lifetime. The effort you put forth to anything transcends yourself, for there is no futility even in death."
Another one is simply the title of this video. I'll keep moving forward Monty. We all will. Rest in peace.
This is our entry for Akross Con 2014, I planned to enter as solo but in the end I didn't have time. Then Kain suggested that we make a collab and here we are! I'm really happy with the result even though we both made our parts in a short amount of time.
