Anime: Summer Wars
Musik: Funeral Party - Giant Song
This video was made for the 4th edition of Brad's Online AMV Iron Chef Tournament in which you have to edit in 2 hours to a random song and a "random" anime. Strefful, but fun!
I haven't seen LukeG's video yet, but I have to wonder why I lost another round of an IC again. Please don't get me wrong! I was just quite happy that I was able to pull of a nice video, with nice editing flow and an actual short alternate story of the anime (though I have to admit that the intro is random, but hey at least the rest of the video isn't, right?).
Well anyway good match LukeG and I hope you can defeat Ileia in the next round!

Its not a classic film making of, but it shows you a nice comparission between the original trailer, the raw editing and the final product. This might be really interesting for all those who have noticed the colour manipulation in the original video.

Theme:
The everyday life is often gray, oppressive, and monotonous due to the given circumstances. Children and creative individuals escape into relaxing, joyful, life-affirming fantasy worlds in their thoughts. Its a getaway from reality, constraints, and conformity. Some discover themselves in the process, becoming less lonely and more empowered in real life.
Onirica is derived from the word oneiric, which relates to dreams or resembling a dream. It is often used to describe something dreamlike, fantastical, or related to dreams and imagination. In your provided text, the term Fantasiewelten could be translated as dream worlds or fantasy realms, which aligns with the concept of Onirica.
Making of notes:
AI technology came in fast in 2022 and for me personally it was clear, that my next main project needs to revolve around this exciting technology. However at it turns out things are developing fast and are getting tiresome. I remember a time, when Bard, ChatGPT-4 and Midijourney 5 were announced right at the same times. Keeping up with burned me out. You need a full time job on this and maybe even then you only specialize in one area. Also when a lot of the smaller tasks get done by AI, you are left with all the creative work. Constantly being creative and original burns you out, while at the same time you sometimes battle with errors and bad images, that AI gives you.
Thats why I felt it was time to try out my first collab between AMV editors, after a raw cut was finished. I joined up with my coworker Arcothy to battle this challenge together. This was probably the best choice for this input. Together there were enough creative power to pull this off. Also we added up pretty nicely. The cut got better, the scene selection more interesting and there were great ideas on how to implement AI into pictures. Refining effects, masks and scenes got more important as well. We worked together via Adobe Cloud Team Projects, which was not as smooth as we first thought, but after a bumpy start it was alright.
So whats left was to get AI work in anime and video. Of course there are possible DeForum animation videos, but they were not easily to control and will always have that certain look to them. Runway was at Gen-1 stage and the costs for AI video generation were simply too high and too gimmicky. Whats left were still image generation and implementing them in video. StableDiffussion with the use of different AI models and LORAs gave pleasing results. I felt we had more control over things in comparison to MidJourney or Firefly. Arcothy made it work via Ebsynth or Adobe Generative Fills and I often took the time to give it a well touch up in After Effects or Premiere Pro.
What I really enjoyed was applying abstract Color via ControlNet to scenes. Some scenes turned out really good. Others need lots of prework with masks, tracking or color layers. The use of various overlay techniques and stock videos helped integrating the images a lot! This and Adobe Generative Fill will highly return in my future projects.
The crazy thing about the technology is, that everything is so fast. A few months later things would look differently, because tech improved or new workflows came out. I hope that this video will not look too dated. Only time will tell. AMVs can be truly timeless works, but this will probably not be one of them.
Thanks a lot to Arcothy for truly immerse into the project and making it possible by giving his best!

This is a trailer based on Blade Runner and the Ghost In The shell movies. Man... I love Blade Runner! It inspired so many movies and a whole genre. One day I went shopping and came across the 5 Disc Ultimate Steelbook Edition of Blade Runner, including all version... I just had to buy. When I watched it the same day, I realized how much Ghost In The Shell and especially Ghost In The Shell 2 must have been inspired by this masterpiece. In my opinion if there got to be a crossover with an anime and Blade Runner, it got to be with Ghost In The Shell! So this is a tribute in form of a trailer to the glory of Blade Runner. I was able to show similiarities and to create an alternate storyline for GITS.

This feels very oldschool in my style in a positive way. I heard this incredible song of Nine Inch Nails and only minutes after the initial release, I knew that I had to make an AMV to it. The anime The Summer Hikaru Died was running for the first time and was just the perfect match. If I remember correct, I started the video when episode 6 was out. So it was interesting to see how the AMV unfolded with every new episode. The final season 1 episode was 2 weeks before the YuniCon AMV contest 2025 out. That felt stressful, but things turned out fine.
The Film Impact plugin suite just released for Premiere Pro and I played around a lot with it.
Anime: The Summer Hikaru Died
