Meh, I'm starting to think this video wasn't intended for a mainstream audience. It's not being recieved well at other places either.
But seriously, people shouldn't raise their expectations so high. Before anyone passes judgement they must know the backstory. This video started out as a small pet project I made to appease my friends. I decided to take it a step further. It was probably more of a personal interpretation more than anything else. Despite some small inaccuracies, I'm pleased with how it turned out.
Also, I'd be careful with the big fonts if I were you. That's one of the reasons that this other guy got banned from the forums. He had a similar name to yours, too.
Sorry about that, as an artist I feel the need to emphasize things for visual flair. Force of habit.
And another guy got banned for that with a similiar name? You've got the wrong guy, I know nothing about that.
I dunno if I wanna watch a mostly not good video for a two-second giggle...
That is blasphemy. Many of you have the nerve to judge my video without watching/listening to it all the way through. That only gives off a misleading impression. D:
I agree with V_Trans there. The entire thing seemed to be a compilation of fanarts from everywhere else.
Yes it does consist mostly of pictures. They were collected from DeviantArt and other internet sources that I gave credit to. Crappy? Not at all. I tactically used effects, transitions, titles and YES even damage counters to make them more appealing. Would you have preferred static images, overused sprites, in-game scenes or the official artwork that everyone has seen? I carefully chose among the best fanart out there (in my opinion) to piece together the story. If you compare my video to other fan-made Chrono Trigger videos on YouTube, quite frankly most of them clearly show little to no effort. I am qualified to say my video is superior.
Chrono Trigger's music has always been my favorite aspect of the game. I am in fact very passionate about it and I wanted to emphasize that by covering the highlights of the soundtrack one video. It was carefully selected from my massive library of Chrono Trigger remixes. Each one is relevant to the scene. A hardcore fan would recognize the sounds and even appreciate this attention the detail. There were also a lot intricacies involved with stitching the tracks together, making volume adjustments and adding sound effects and YES -- voices to enhance the presentation.
...Regardless, this entire thing has been inspiring for me! ...
Thank you! My other ulterior motive is inspiring Square Enix to recognize the fan community and make a true sequel to Chrono Trigger. *wishful thinking*
Above all, this is a showcase of fan talent; featuring art and music (with a tad of crude humor) while chronologically following the story. Basically it's Chrono Trigger in a nutshell. That's the beauty of this video tribute. I say it's pretty damn good for my first video. Honestly, a lot of thought and hard work was put into this. Don't disappoint me by jumping to baseless conclusions. I appreciate the constructive feedback, though
(Those who actually WATCHED AND LISTENED to the video all the way through.) All I ask if that you all lower your expectations, loosen up and enjoy.
