Welcome to Gaia! ::

My latest passion hsa been watching Riku/Sora AMVs on Youtube, and after seeing some of the good and the, er, not-so-good ones, I've been inspired to try and make my own.

The thing is, I really don't have a lot of experience making AMVs, and I think I need some help.

It's not the technological aspect of the video that's bugging me so much as it is the content. =/ See, I was planning on setting it to, "What Hurts the Most" by Rascal Flatts, and I've got a couple ideas on how I can incorporate some of the KH and KH2 scenes into the song, but...it's nowhere near complete.

I'll upload the song, so anyone who hasn't heard it can listen to it, and hopefully, we can brainstorm some ideas...:3

Here's the link to the song. =)

Did you listen to the song? Lol, I basically just need help figuring out how to synchronize the scenes with the music. The technological stuff I can figure out on my own. ^_^

(...*subtly begging for help*)<---*cough* ^^;

Lol, the problem isn't exactly where to get the footage (KHU and KH Vids! ^_^), but deciding which scenes to use so that it fits in with the music.

Like, for the first fifteen seconds or so (you know, the really pretty violin part >w<), I was probably going to have some images of Riku fade in and out...Like the Final Mix scene where he's in the darkness, and probably the scene where he, Sora, and Kairi are at the paopu tree.

But, I've just been going through by line, and I can't really think of anything for a couple of them.

For instance, I've been having trouble placing footage to the first two lines ("I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house/That don't bother me"). I was considering using stuff from the beginning of ASAS, mainly because it has rain in it ( XD; ), but the video's from Sora's point-of-view, and, well, he kinda was sleeping when that happened, so, yeah...^^;

But I'm going to have fun with the chorus...I'm thinking either Neverland, Monstro, or Hollow Bastion from KH1 for the first one, then something from KH2 for the 2nd chorus (Land of Dragons, perhaps?), then the paopu scene for the final one...X3

Lol, of course I'll post a link when I'm finished! ^_^;

The problem is, I haven't even started it yet...I'm still in the pre-planning stage... sweatdrop

Ah, well, it'll come together eventually.

Oh, but what do you think of synchronizing the scene where Sora reunites with Kairi in KH2 with the line, "It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone"? X3 I think that sticks it to the Sora/Kairi fans just a little. XD;

XD Thanks. ^__^ I'll start downloading footage and messing with it...*glances at the clock* er...later today, considering it's nearly three-o'-clock in the morning. XD;

Yeah...I'm headed off to bed now...^^; 'Night! :3

Lol, I don't blame your friend, though; Axel is really easy to get hooked on. wink

D; What program were you using?

I can't wait to start working on it. >w<

*wonders if there's a way to download Photoshop Premiere* ninja

Well, I downloaded a little of it, but I basically spent all of tiday trying to figure out how to remove the subtitles from the videos. I still have no idea what the heck I'm doing...XD;

Thanks. C:

Oh, be sure to mention that they're hardsubbed subtitles. ><
