The speakers blasted an ambient composition laced with ethereal melodies weaving a tapestry of sound that seemed to lift the very air. The audience entranced, drawn into the ebb and flow of tunes that hinted at distant lands and limitless possibilities.
A radiant glow illuminated the stage, casting waves of shimmering light across the audience in hues of purple and blue, witness of a moment unlike any other as the travelers emerged from the gateway. The music resonating with their elemental essences, merging with the electronic beats, a bridge between two worlds light years apart, the harmonious convergence.
They felt the melodies speaking a universal language—one of harmony and wonder, an enduring power transcending boundaries. The enthralling soundscape was for that brief interlude capable of blending realms together.
=======================================
Has it really been 8 years since the last AMV? That's crazy. Well I haven't been totally inactive during this time since I still managed to create some stuff and a lot of other things have happened also. Have I still got my flow? This is probably not what you were expecting, nothing really fancy or ground breaking but this project contains a lot of moving parts and is technically several levels above my previous productions even though most of the required micro adjustments are mostly invisible in the final product. I won't bore you with the details. I really haven't been keeping in touch with the new generation of AMV people so it's hard for me to tell if this is still considered triple A production but in my own world this is a significant achievement. And yes I'm calling it AMV, sue me.
Anyway, I got the idea for this one after new year 2023 while on the shuttle to Stockholm airport listening to some random electro-pop compilation. Suddenly, this song pops up. I ended up listening to it in loop during the entire journey without noticing that it was from Schiller, one of my favourite electronic music band from when I was a teenager. I pictured a recreation of a live performance enhancing the synth melody and blended with some anime. The original plan was to make something quick and easy but I ended up making something a bit more sophisticated and special in celebration of 20 years since my first AMV was released on the 31th of May 2004.
I was beginning to get serious about AI tools and started experimenting with rotoscoping tools and Genshin Impact trailers. The direct output was less than ideal but served as good basic draft to confirm the compositing and timing. It then required lengthy and laborious manual adjustments both in positive and negative masks, at 60 fps of course. It probably was overkill but I wanted to see how far I could push it. I'm really not sure that the AI rotoscoping ended up saving me a lot of time as the character and costume design in Genshin is so intricate with overloaded backgrounds making the AI very confused at times. Some sequences required up to 10 hours of work to get things right, a sort of brain-dead job that I could focus on while listening to podcasts or re-watching old series, a great escape from real life problems actually.
The title "Light Years" is the English translation of Lichtjahre which also reflects my idea of 2 worlds separated by space and time. Unfortunately I couldn't find any official music video or live performance for this specific song so I decided to go through live performance from Schiller between 2010 and 2021 looking for sequences that would match. This is the reason why you will notice that Mr Schiller keeps changing shirt and setup during the video. Some of you music nerds might complain that the wrong buttons are pressed on the piano, sure, but it's good enough for me.
The highlight regarding editing was trying to mimic the excellent transitions found in Genshin Impact trailers. Some transitions required 2 or 3 evenings to get perfect but I was pleased to occasionally get this special feeling when I throw something on the timeline and see it magically work. I took every new idea as a challenge of some sort and it ended up working better that expected almost every time.
I have been playing Genshin since day one and I still try to get back into it once or twice a week. I really don't care much for the never ending story, I just like exploring and killing things that move.
In the end it took me over a year to complete this project however I wasn't able to work on it every week. Sure, the quality has increased but It's interesting that even though I never had this much free time before in my life, it still takes this long to complete a video. See you guys in 2032 for the next Nostromo AMV.

Originally a simple AI face swap experiment that went out of control.
I definitely spent way too much time on this instead of completing the new actual AMV but it was fun. Even though this was made as a joke, it contains serious effects and time demanding compositing and rotoscoping.

Because of the nature of my IKEA BESTÅ cabinet integration, I had to work with various constrains such as available space, noise, vibration, airflow, dust, temperatures and of course RGB coolness. The final result is exactly as I imagined it: neat, silent and runs fast, mission accomplished!

I had so many ideas for this video that I couldn’t film because the experience was already really exhausting. 3 days driving one way, 2 days the other way to bring back the truck, 5400+ km total.
I have been living in Umeå for more than a year now, learnt Swedish and got a job at the local energy company.

Special thanks to Martin Arnaud, Marilyn Kuentz & Rachel Gonidec for inviting me to film the show and behind the scene.
I came to film the preparations the day before the show. I had a staff badge with full access which allowed me to get the best view point and opportunity to wander around the arc while it was closed to the public and shoot some epic hyper-lapse.
I got access to footage from TV and drone that I implemented in my video. Those were especially great to get more angles of fireworks action.

The year is 2027. It is a time of great innovation and technological advancement. It is also a time of chaos and conspiracy. Corporations have more power than the government. Everyone’s fighting for power. For control. The World doesn’t care about right or wrong. It’s all about power. And right now, none of us have it.
A group of freedom fighters have gathered to join forces against the Umbrella Corp, an organisation with strategic outposts all around the world and a very specific agenda. With the latest developments in ultra low frequency radiation atmospheric processors, they have the technology to take control of the global weather. Their new wave blasters network can artificially induce rainfall anywhere, anytime, putting them one step away from becoming the largest umbrella manufacturer on the planet.
It’s not too late, we can stop them. Join the fight!

I just realized it’s been more than 3 years since NostroMegamix Trance 01 and decided to put my other projects on standby to work on a sequel.
This one is shorter but more consistent on both audio and video with each track lasting less than 2 minutes. Considering my noob level in audio mixing, the hardest part for this project was to select tracks and put them in the best order to obtain good mixing and smooth transitions.
Audio mixing is done in Premiere. It’s probably not the best way to do it but it kinda works.

I chose to work with the Padilion Remix of Just Hold On for Hidden Palace but I also really wanted to do something with the Identity Sequence version. I thought of making something quick by re-using my Hidden Palace footage, but I ended up making something completely new that became my most complex project.
I spent 3 months on this project. I had something pretty simple in mind when I started but the amount of footage that I managed to collect allowed me to go for a more advanced concept with lip-sync. This video made me use all the editing tricks that I learnt over the years.
I selected MMD videos with Hatsune Miku Append model and Append One Piece by Tda and Re:YaMa*. I’m not really a fan of Miku but this model looks really good and the dance motions from the videos I found were clean and perfect for editing. I like working with MMD footage and the next step could be to actually learn to how use MMD and do my own videos but I probably will never have time for that.

I spent a few days filtering my footage to improve quality and remove those freaking green lasers produced by the abundance of idiots in the crowd (600 000). I did the best I could and managed to greatly reduce the disturbance with clever luma keying and manual cleaning. Have a look at other uploads (youtube.com/watch?v=K2UbpRxrXUg) if you want to compare before/after.

Cleaning and assembling all the components took me about 6 hours but I got all sorts of problems with the installation of Widows like the failure of the SSD drive master boot for no reason (twice), failure of my hardware raid0, huge CPU latency causing problems with sound and also a few issues with USB drivers.

This project started as a MEP for the new year (2013): Distance hosted by xDreww with a total of 9 AMV editors. I usually refuse to take part in MEPs (Multi Editor Project) because I just prefer to work alone without any restriction or deadlines. I’m not sure how he did but xDreww managed to get me into his project this time. My idea for my track (#1) was to introduce the characters from all the other tracks.
After Distance MEP was done, everybody started posting their tracks on Youtube. I also thought about doing it but I wanted to add a little something extra. This song was very interesting to work with and because I still had loads of unused footage left, I decided to just continue filling my timeline and make my own AMV.

Here’s something different. I often get asked to make a list of my favourite music artists and I thought I could reply to this request in an original way.
Audio mixing is one of my favourite part in the AMV making process so I got the idea of making a megamix of all my favourite trance tracks. I already did some multi-song mixes for AMV MEPs and other small projects but this mix is a lot bigger with 18 tracks and a total length of 37 min.
The most interesting aspect of it is the work I did on transitions between tracks. I had to use some filters and audio tricks in order to make transitions as smooth as possible and adapt the BPM when necessary. I had a lot more songs that I wanted to include but they wouldn’t have fit in this mix.
When I was done with the audio, I thought that releasing it on YouTube with random still pictures wouldn’t be interesting. I then remembered that I had some video editing skills that I could use to make a quick video that would fit mix. Of course, making a 37 min AMV would be insane and take at least 2 years to complete (considering how slow I work) so I decided to use official videos from music artists. I couldn’t always find footage that was made for the songs I had in the mix but I tried to at least have video from the right music artist.

Do you remember Galaxy Bounce from 2006? It was good, it won some awards but I always thought it could be improved. Introducing Galaxy Bounce 2012, remake of my 6-year-old AMV with improved editing, effects, 720p, 60fps and an exclusive remix of the original song Lifelight by Sugar Jesus.
The improved video quality was nice but I figured that a simple remake with the same song wouldn’t make a good impact. I needed something to freshen the AMV, like a new version of the song, remix maybe. Since I recently worked with Andrei Basirov from Sugar Jesus for my Binary Overdrive AMV and I knew that he was very good at remixing, I thought I’d ask him if he would be interested in taking part in this project. He immediately accepted and told me that he needed the vocal track of Andy Hunter’s song as well as some other elements like SFX and chorus tracks in order to start working on the remix.
I managed to contact Andy and tell him about the project. He already saw the first Galaxy Bounce AMV few years ago and loved it. He agreed to help and sent me the audio tracks that Andrei needed. It took a while for Andrei to come up with the first version of the remix as he’s been very busy with his job but it was worth waiting. This first version was already high quality but Andrei is a perfectionist and he kept getting back to me with improved versions every time I gave him feedback.
I put my summer AMV project on standby (Quantum Ripples) and started editing as soon as I got the first version of the remix. Although I basically just had to replicate the editing from the 2006 AMV, it took me a while to remember and redo some effects. I also realized that I already had a good level back then and there are even some quick transitions that I didn’t manage to redo very well so I just took them directly from the old Galaxy Bounce, hopefully you won’t notice it. This remake is about 1 minute longer.
Once again it was a pleasure to work with Andrei. Having Andy Hunter on the project put some extra pressure and motivated me to do things well. I spent about 5 months working on this remake (including lazy-time playing Deus Ex). There are a lot of new effects, most of them are about details that you might miss but if you compare with the old Galaxy Bounce, you should notice them (check out making of).

Anime: Ghost in the Shell
Music: Benassi Bros. – Light
DDL + info: https://nostro.fr/amv-vectorman/
This is one of my first AMVs. I was still learning and trying to figure out what I was doing. Some mistakes, very average quality of editing and audio mixing.
I named it Vectorman because I drew and used a lot of vector shapes (about 120) and Vectorman is also a game on Megadrive which had excellent electronic/techno music.

This is the special Epita 2005 AMV contest version. This contest was known for its poor judging quality so me and other AMV makers from the french community decided to send the most nooby/weird AMV we could make.
It turned out that my special Epita version got an award: the special AMV award.

This is a parody of the original music video from Benny Benassi. I made all those vector objects and animated them which was a technical challenge with the skills I had at the time.

Anime: Noien
Music: Stargate Trailer, Tomb Raider Legend Theme by Troels Brun Folmann, Tetsujin by Don Davis & Juno Reactor

While watching Noein I kept thinking about how everything reminds me of Stargate which I’m a huge fan of (Movie + SG1 + Atlantis + Universe). I thought it would be fun to try making a parody of the 1994 Stargate film. I first released it in English and then got requests for a French version.
“Unscheduled Offworld Activation!” — That’s what you can hear Sergeant Walter say every time the SGC gets an unscheduled incoming wormhole in Stargate SG-1.
I actually started looking into video editing in 2003 because I had the idea of making a Stargate music video.

Anime: Fullmetal Alchemist
Music: Scooter – One (Always Hardcore)
DDL + info: https://nostro.fr/amv-always-hardcore/
This is based on the first Fullmetal Alchemist series (51 episodes) adapted from the manga in 2003. Back then, 4:3 format was still the most used standard. Fullmetal Alchemist wasn’t easy to use for this project since this anime is mostly dark, depressive and the mood doesn’t really fit upbeat music.
I used a lot of scenes from openings/endings since the best animation is usually there and I put a heavy focus on the lip sync.
“One” is from Scooter’s 2004 album “Mind The Gap”. I mixed 2 different versions of the song for this AMV.
=======================================
Always Hardcore was my first award winning AMV:
Best of Show award at Kunicon Atlanta 2005
Best Action award at Animethon 2005
Best of Show & best Action award at Kumoricon 2005
Best of Show grand prize at AWA XI 2005
Best Dance Video at VCA 2006
I made those Interludes when I was still member of AMV France association. They were first shown at Japan Expo 2008 on the AMV France stand.
Yeah, hypno stuff again but no Hypnotoad this time. I just got the idea of using the Simpsons episode when they go to Japan and they get a seizure by watching some anime on TV. This one had a good impact on audience as well.

Foot (soccer in french), this interlude shows a bit what I think about this activity. I was fun to see the reaction of some soccer fans in the audience when they heard and read "soccer sucks !".
Song is Junkie XL - Cities In Dust.

I made those Interludes when I was still member of AMV France association. They were first shown at Japan Expo 2008 on the AMV France stand.
This Interlude starts as a cheap Lucky Star AMV with random scenes and Lucky Star opening song. It goes on for a few seconds just to hypnotize people and then, the BSOD comes in. It had a great impact on the audience, we (the staff) were acting as if the BSOD was real and unexpected by face-palming, standing up and yelling. The audience responded great. The second part of the video uses a remix from a Luky Star song album: Mizuhara Kaoru -- Micro Krafty Datte Valator AD++.
