Finally…! What was supposed to be a one-weekend distraction became a two week nightmare with just little sleep, food and relief :)

But it was totally worth it. I am as happy about finally finishing this, as I am with the results.

Special thanks to Katy Rewston, Clementine/meemee-ocean, Heather Meuser, Chris/xenocide666, William Crabtree and David Patterson for their permission to use their artworks/photos and to Zarkrax from amv/org for his fine tutorial and software regarding encoding. I owe you all a lot!

So, what is this video about? I think the title says it all. It’s a collage about various forms of isolation and its roots and consequences.

The main-music is written and performed by Fear Factory. The images are mostly inspired by the above-mentioned artists and redrawn by myself. (see credits for further information)

So enjoy and if you have the time, please leave a comment - I’m very interested in your opinion.

Hallo, everyone!

Now that I know that my videos are being watched more often all over the world than in my home-country of germany, I decided to extend my website with these “international” pages where I present my current and past video-editing-projects.
Although there are older posts in here, this is actually the first one. The older ones are just dated to the actual “release”-dates of the videos (for chronology).
From this day forward there won’t be these huge gaps between posts anymore, for I spend a lot more time with video-editing by now.

So stay tuned!

Sincerely,
Daniel

Another interpretation of a song.
This time: “Crawl through Knives” by In Flames.
Little remark:
You need at least some basic knowledge about In Flames (old & new), gothenburger melodic-death-metal bands and current wannabe metal/hardcore-bands :)

This clip claims to be the intro of the animated-version of the movie Machine Man II - Rendesvouz at the Aquadrome, whereas neither the movie nor the animated-version actually exists in any way more than in the heads of a friend of mine and me.
It’s about a guy named “Machine Man II”, who can morph into a motorcycle and uses this ability to fight evil :))
The footage is taken from GTA:San Andreas and recorded with fraps. The soundtrack is Turbo Lover by Judas Priest. The editing is of medium quality (I also forgot to deinterlace), the captions are mainly “insider”-jokes and the video becomes a bit boring after a while if you don’t love the song as much as I do, but anyway… I like it :)
Video-editing and “Iris”-effect done with Virtual Dub, composition, transitions and captions done with Windows Movie Maker, startingimage-editing done with Corel Photo Paint, original concept by *drink* and myself.

Let me tell you a little story about greed and desperation, about love and death, about sacrifice and home - accompanied with wonderful ballads by Enter Shikari.
I recommend viewing this one in fullscreen.

My interpretation of “This Could Be Anywhere In The World” by Alexisonfire. I kinda dislike it’s pretentious criticism by now, but apart from that it’s imho funny and fitting.
I recommend the uncensored version (you’ll find a link below the vid), but you need a youtube-acc for that.
