Mein Beitrag für die "No Cut Challenge 2021" der "Hanami Con". Es ist meine erste No Cut Challenge und für mich hat das in dem Moment einfach gepasst. Ich hatte den Film vor kurzem gesehen und wollte die Szene irgendwie "verewigen" und das Lied hatte ich auch zuvor im Radio gehört. Fast hätte ich "The Passanger" von Iggy Pop genommen, aber das hat dann doch nicht so gut gepasst als Song. Es hätte schon funktioniert, aber eben nur mit anständigem Editing.
Film: Luca (2021)
Song: "Don't Stop Believin" von "Journey"

For the HanamiCon 2023 NOCUT CHALLENGE you were only allowed to trim your videosource and audio with an In/Out point. No effects, no speedramp, no nothing. Excepts handy fade in/outs at the start and the end to make things work out more smoothly. This is a small very fun challenge with surprising outcomings.
Im proud that many people liked it and it made 1st place at the contest. This was pretty much an instant idea, when I saw that movie back during Halloween.
This is modern Austrian Pop and in heavy Viennese dialect. English subtitles are included.
Musical artist: Vodoo Jürgens
Song: Heite grob ma Tote aus
Video: Wendell & Wild
This movie should be currently on Netflix. So check it out!")

This was my Tokyo Skytree view (東京スカイツリービュー) from May 5th 2024, shot on Sony Alpha 7iv and Canon EF 24-105MM F/4L IS II USM on a Metabones lens adapter.
I sort through my vacation videos and fotos and got tons of material. To get my head around it, I will continue to edit and release themed highlight videos of my trip. So maybe I can afterwards focus on one summarizing overview video at the end. Also I can try out different things. Like gimmiky play arounds in Adobe Premiere Pros Lumetri Color panel.

.:Won Awards:.
AniNite 2009
-Best AMV (Pro Contest)
.:Footage:.
Anime: Perfect Blue
Song: Marilyn Manson - Mr. Superstar
(featured in the album Antichrist Superstar)
.:Content description:.
This is the life of a superstar. Being famous, being a popstar, being hyped, being in the movies, being loved, being stalked, being paranoid, being insane, being schizophrenic, being killed. Just being a normal superstar...
.:The technical side of the amv:.
This is the first full project that I made on my new rig (dual core laptop) and with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, After Effects CS4 and Photoshop CS3. The switch from Premiere Pro 1.5 to CS4 worked pretty good, but I had to deal with a lot of rendering issues in the end. It was like addopting my kind of work to this new sets of problems.
This is also the first time that I made a 720p amv. It worked pretty good though. Sadly the 720p version is too big to upload localy, but thankfully I have enough free space on my webspace.
I had some problems with the source because the big amount of noise was a pain in the ass for filtering. I really have to thank mirkosp for suggesting me a nice Avisynth filter against banding. Without it a nice 720p version would have been impossible at the end.
This source has also a high amount of frame shivering. This is really complicated for some effects. Especially those where I had to remove lipflap. I wasnt pleased with it in the first version for the AniNite amv contest and I hope that no one noticed it. Well... at least it wasnt too obvious.
The editing was quite interessting for me. I didnt sticked to a certain schema and some parts dont follow any sync pattern. It still is a great video for me and Im interessting on what the editors on this site think about it. Im especially pleased with the editing for the second chorus. I really feel energy in this part and think that its one of my best work lately. It was also interessting to notice my personal knowledge and experience in editing. It helped a lot, but also made me sometimes feel bad because it raised the bar for the editing enormous. However... I still like this overall work on the video. Pretty cool though.
@Fans of this song: Yes this is an shortened version of the song that I made. However the end is the original one. Yeah... its not that great, but I cant change this end of the song. sry.
.:Thoughts about the content and concept:.
I had the first plans about this anime song combination years agon with the working title Stalker. It was planned with quite a lot of self made live action scenes to make a deeper stalker-victim relationship. Like some heavly obsessed Otaku in the real world watching Perfect Blue on his monitor in a dark room or walls with posters of the anime etc. Sadly I dont have a camera to work on this original idea.
So... I picked this idea up again for the AniNite amv contest in Vienna. This time I wanted to portrait a more easier stalker theme in this video. It didnt worked out because of the heavy limitation of scenes, because I only used this movie. The solution was to twist the story into a different one in the middle of the editing working progress. Now it was about to portrait what it means to be Superstar full of private downsides. Im really pleased with the final outcome. It has this wicked bauzi-style that I like on some of my videos.

I wanted to portrait the atmosphere and pace of SIGNALIS with the unforgetting sounds of the musical artist LORN. Its the slow and steady decent into madness and the dismantling of mind and soul.
This is my first ever GMV and it was made for the Connichi AMV Contest 2023 in Germany. It did not make it to the finals on stage, however its sibling GMV (Nefarious Depths) did. I dont mind too much, because I really like both videos.
I can only recommend that you play the grandious SIGNALIS yourself. Its the best horror game that came out of Germany for years and maybe since ever:

Also you really need to give LORN credit for his music. You can buy and listen to his records on bandcamp:
