Missing Pieces - Witherspoon - 5cm per second AMV

Missing Pieces - Witherspoon - 5cm per second AMV

I've been meaning to post this earlier when the video editing finished but couldn't find the right time to do so.

This is my 2nd official AMV and also a bit special. The song is not in Malay language but it is a Malaysian song, produce by bunch of music freak friend of mine.

They're Witherspoon and they've just release their first EP with the title Scapes & Sounds.

I'm lucky enough to be able to listen their raw material during studio practices, pre mixing and early release since 2006, that's a year and a half ago. 2 kali raya aku dengar lagu yg sama tapi mixing sound beza beza bai..

So, unofficially I took one of the song (Missing Pieces - which I like the most) and start searching for a perfect anime to create an AMV. After listening and thinking about their atmospheric sound I decided to use Makoto Shinkai's 5cm per second anime.

The anime itself is brilliantly drawn & animated with beautiful scene almost everywhere in the movie. After a few prelim cut and arrange I choose the 2nd part of the movie as the base of the AMV.

It took me about 5 hour to edit and match the sequence with the song. It's kinda rushing but I need to show the AMV to my friend who'll be going back to KL in the evening. He looked very pleased with the result and I couldn't thought of any better actually. Well perhaps I should choose 1st part or the last part instead? Sigh..

Well then, Enjoy the song (a great song BTW) and don't forget to visit my friends' website on myspace - http://www.myspace.com/woundedwitherspoon

There are more sample song on their channel. Hopefully you'll like the EP and there's info how to get them on the site.

Good luck Witherspoon and thank you Ijat for the free sample!

Final Fantasy 8 AMV by Faez

2007-10-10T15:21:00.001+08:00

3 Days ago, a boy, son of friend actually - aged 15, who always hang out with me handed me a copy of his latest amv. Or rather, FFVII video compilation.

His amv mostly sucks.. I mean, he's 15, lacks skills in video composition, rely solely on my sense of advice and using Initial D soundtrack most of the time. How about that?

However, from the first frame, i'm hooked. The song used in the background is Tsubasa Chronicle's "Ship of Fools" by Yuki Kajiura.. absolutely on of my fav piece!

And again, when I heard the of sword swirling sound in the background, mixing almost perfectly with the mood, I thought, can this get any better..?

Most of the video scene mostly precompiled and obviously downloaded from the internet. There aren't much original ediited scene but the wise arrangemenet plus a lil creative side made the video worth and surprisingly pleasing. This boys got talent.. of simply just his luck?

Watching this amv made me realize that he's learning. He's been watching me doing stuffs and gradualy learning.

Way to go Faez!!

Still no new AMV but here's Haruhi!

2007-01-22T21:36:00.000+08:00

I'm still busy with many things after moving to my new office. Busy busy all day long. I do plan a few song, but very old rock song by SEARCH. Maybe it's not up to taste with younger generation, but I still love Melayar Bahtera and I think it's a very good piece of music to create AMV.

However, in the other camp, there are some new development. Irugaoniisama from puteranime just release a new AMV, using Haruhi Suzumiya stock footage. Everything including the song. Remember the ENOZ song from episode 12?

Hmm.. Reminds me a lot of Linda Linda Linda!!! The scene & especially the guitar that Haruhi used to perform the song. Isn't that the same as Kei's guitar?

Takde amv baru sebab aku sibuk buka kedai

2007-01-11T22:13:00.000+08:00

Aku sibuk sangat semingg ni.. ke sana sini menguruskan hal nak bukak kedai sendiri. Payah jga rupanya berniaga sendiri ni. Barulah aku tau.

InsyaAllah start minggu depan aku akan pindah kedai baru. Tak jauh dari kedai sekarang. seberang jalan je.. LOL

Apa-apa hal pun sabar menanti. Projek tetap jalan beb!!

Problem with vobsub & subtitle font attachment

2007-01-11T16:49:00.000+08:00

A friend of mine tried the video + .ass subtitle on his computer and found something terrible. Everytime he play the video, the PC restart instantly without any warning. His machine run Win2k just like mine though.

After a few tries, I figure out it has something to do with ass font attachment. And I figure that might create potential problem with user with same rig as his - although I did successfully played the file on several computer running Win2k & WinXP.

So I attach here the same .ass script without font attachment. The font is in zip file and has to be install manually.

Download .ass karaoke + font

Download FLCL-Terharu AMV here

Old .ass karaoke (might be problematic)

Simple Karaoke SFX for FLCL-Terharu

2007-01-03T03:26:00.000+08:00

I decided to do karaoke SFX for my FLCL-Terharu amv today and finally gather my courage to try the process. Years ago I download the SSA subtitler tool and I'm totally lost. I never had any courage to try karaoke sfx again after that. I alwas envy people who can do great karaoke sfx especially in horor / goth-loli themed anime fansubs.

However, a friend request me a karaoke or at least a sub for my amv. I always thought a simple srt file is not appropriate for music videos although I made many before using Subtitle Workshop. Perhaps this is the right chance for me to try sfx once more, I thought.

This time I downloaded Aegisub. This is an advance & easy subtitle editor for ASS / SSA format - used by many to create subs & SFX.

I found Aegisubs relatively easy to understand & operate, even without manual. Unless someone never really tried subtitling before. For more info about Aegisub please visit the wikipedia. I tried Sabbu before but I think Aegisubs is better IMO.

For this karaoke sfx, I use very basic method of styling coz I'm still experimenting all those option & settings. The sfx help file (internet) is unavailable ATM. I use the font CroissantD. If you guys don't have the font, don't worry. I did attach it with the file (it's actually merged with the .ass file so you don't have to manually install it.

You will need the Vsfilter (DirectVobSub) to load the subtitle while playing the video. If you have any kind of codec pack installed it's most likely that directVobSub is already in your system. If you don't, get CCCP here. You might need to turn off the "Pre-buffer subpictures" option in DirectVobSub to make sure the karaoke works.

The .ass styling is rather basic but you still need a fair PC to play the karaoke smoothly. A mid Pentium III pc is needed.

BTW, this subtitle is sync to match the HQ version of FLCL - Terharu amv. You can get the video here.

get FLCL-Terharu-amv.zip

Enjoy!

Welcome to AMV-Malaysia [English]

2007-01-02T21:55:00.001+08:00

Welcome to 'Anime Music Video Malaysia' blog.

This blog is created to set a proper way for me to develops & present my own AMV collection to other fans of this genre.

This blog wil show AMV that is created & edited by myself or by another colleagues and such. The main point is to create AMVs with Malay / Indonesia flavours or something that created by fellow Malaysians.

This blog by NO means serve as an official site of Malaysia AMV's since there is none actually exist (as far as I know). I was hoping that it can be so in the future.

Although (soon) many of the songs used in these AMVs is in Malay / Indonesian language, I hope that won't reduce your interest in our productions. Great music can break any culture or language barrier.

Please enjoy your visit and have a good time!

Selamat Datang dalam Bahasa Melayu di sini

1st comment & need for english post / transcript

2007-01-02T17:53:00.000+08:00

I log in today and realize I had a comment on my FLCL AMv posting. It was in english. Hmm I didn't expect an english reader to comment first..

Then I go to my Google Analytics report and indeed there a few visitors from USA & Europe. I think they come from youtube or directly using the url inserted in the video.

Maybe I should do some posting in English or doing bi-language version.

AMV pertama - FLCL + Terharu!

2006-12-29T13:10:00.000+08:00

Konnichiwa!

Aku baru sahaje siap amv pertama aku! Ya-Allah.. susah jugak buat benda ni rupanya. Tambahan pulak software yang kureng dan ilmu yang belum cukup. Nak buat macam mana. Aku ni bukannye pernah belajar edit video. Software pun pakai yang bodo-bodo je.

Untuk amv pertama ni aku tumpukan kepada FLCL ep 1 - 'Furi Kuri'. Aku pilih sebab FLCL adalah anime paling faveret aku! Bagi aku, FLCL adalah segala-galanya anime dalam 1 pakej yang padat.

Muzik latar yang dipilih pula adalah lagu cover Terharu oleh Wings (Mus) dari album Double Trouble 2. Kenapa lagu ni? Aku rasa sebab lagu ni sangat bersemangat - berbeza dengan lagu asal oleh Sweet Charity (atau Mawi).

Software yang digunakan adalah MPEG Video Wizard dari Womble Multimedia. Software ni adalah shareware, low-end video editor tetapi sangat ringan dan mampu render preview dalam real-time. Sumber codec video yang disyorkan adalah mpeg-2.

Pada mulanya aku nak cuba pakai Pinnacle tapi takde member yg ada CD installer. Terpaksa pakai apa yang ada. Syukurlah MVW ni memang reliable. Mula-mula aku cuba load video .avi (divx) tapi asik crash aje. Terpaksa reencode kepada Mpeg 8000 kbps. Kalau ikut saranan animemusicvideo.org kena pakai Lagarith lossless codec, tapi disebabkan HD yang ciput terpaksa la pakai mpeg. Lossless video untuk 30 minit menggunakan hampir 5 gig ruang!

Start pukul 3 pagi sampai ke 10 pagi barulah siap semua. Sempat pulak pergi 7-E cari ubat nyamuk sebab subuh banyak nyamuk. Berbekalkan pengalaman buat slideshow untuk kawan, aku explore la sistem MVW ni. Senang sungguh rupanya gina software ni. Semuanya boleh dipelajari tanpa buka manual pun. Boleh tahan!

Yang bezanya dengan software Video Editing yang lain adalah tool / filter yang diberikan. Sistem MVW sangat basic dan terbatas. Apa yang menarik adalah betapa 'lightweight'-nya program ini dalam mengendalikan video. Sangat smooth, non-linear, non-distructive dan cepat load.

Masalah MVW adalah cara susunan video yang terbatas, tiada multiple timeline menjadikan aturan video agak sesak dan sukar disunting semula apabila sudah dibariskan atau dimasukkan effect / transition. Edit sesuatu di bahagian tengah bermakna semua susunan yang terkemudian terpaksa re-sync semula dengan audio. letih..!

Macam mana pun enjoy AMV pertama aku! YEAH!

Lirik lagu Terharu:

Tak kan ku tahan air mataku ini
Yang jatuh menitis berderai di pipi
Tak kan ku simpan dalam hatiku ini
Biarlah itu berlalu pergi

Sejuta warna menghias angkasa
Berseri penuh sungguh ku terharu
Sejuta rasa yang mengiringi
Dan kini menyentak hatiku

Selalu begitu kejamnya dirimu
Bagaikan malam yang sunyi dan sepi
Engkau biarkan diriku ini
Merintih sedih menangis sendiri

Cukup sudah jangan engkau sakiti
Cukup sudah ku merasakannya
Derita yang ku ini rintihkan
Menghancurkan segala harapan
