Sunlight says: After 3 months of hard work we're glad to finally be able to present this project.
So about 9 months ago me and Danilo (gabberMD) decided we wanted to collaborate.. at first we were planning a simple IC, though it was canceled as neither of us had time. The same happened 6-7 months ago when we decided to join Japan Expo; I had important exams and Dani was very far from editing at that time. And finally 4 months ago we had a chance to start working!
So I started thinking about story and anime, we've never made crossovers and I thought it would be cool to try something new. We started searching for scenes, characters, etc. After long research I found the perfect song, it was pretty rare and cool and also helped us with conveying the story! I want to say that it was a very interesting and fun experience. We've learned so much from each other and I think our combination of skills were perfect for a crossover even though as I said we had never given it a shot before :D
This time it was quite a big project with a lot of new ideas and difficult scenes to create. We wanted to make something new and original that nobody has made before. I think we did great with altering scenes and colours of clothing and hair, and recreating backgrounds with different objects, lights and shadows.
It was a very good experience, though we also had a lot of problems because my computer was always crashing (bluescreen), and sometimes our ideas about scenes were different or clashed, and because of this we had couple fights but we're glad that it ended well and compromise was found.
I don't want to talk too much about the story as I'm sure everyone will understand it well. Just one note is to look at the dates, they're purposeful and will help you better understand!

gabberMD says: Like Nikala (Sunlight) said finally after so long time we were able to make our first collab together.
It was funny and there were some difficult decisions, but we made it in the end and I think came out pretty good.
So yeah I wanted to talk about manipulations that we made it was problem with some scenes because almost every scene characters had different clothes and i changed them (jackets, shoes etc)
and this was my first time that I applied my Photoshop knowledge into a video! was a bit tedious to edit stuff frame by frame but I'm really happy with the result!
Well Nikala pretty much said the rest =)

We want to thank Fury, ItsAvient and other cool people for helping us with some stuff.. you guys rock!

So yeah, we hope you will enjoy, and happy viewing!

Pretty clichè in my opinion. I already knew what was going to happen. I have been watching these kind of crossovers over and over and the fact that always the same guy from the same anime is repeatedly used in a loop makes this amv the more clichè, with the exception of the other anime used of course. I have nothing to say about the editing and thecnique itself because the AMV is really well edited but I feel like you guys used all those fancy effects just to cover the fact that the amv lacks of depth in plot. No doubt this will be the winner though.

Not my kind of video, but I really appreciated the effort and the result is quite outstanding. Congrats and I guess "good luck" is not needed here.

Non metto in dubbio che vincete voi,visto la pietosa qualità dei video in generale... Avete fatto un buon lavoro in generale,quindi non ho niente da dire a riguardo. Mi dispiace solo il fatto che si usa lo stesso personaggio in ogni crossover.. :sad:
Vabbè dettagli.. Good luck! :wink:
