My unfinished Shenmue music video.

Postby Bambi » Sat Apr 14, 2012 1:06 pm

TL;DR
I gave up making a Shenmue video, help me pick better music than this.

phpBB [video]


I certainly won't take offence if you hated it. At the very least you get to see Shenmue in HD!


I was making space on my hard drive when I remembered that I had over 100GB of Shenmue footage lying around, I meant to get around to making a Shenmue AMV (GMV I guess?) sometime ago but had gotten side-tracked fairly early on.

I decided to delete the footage for now and render the short amount of video that I edited but ultimately never wanted to complete. I've always found it hard to enjoy Shenmue music videos fully because the accompanied music isn't very suitable or relevent to the game. There have been some good efforts in the past certainly but it's not like there's many albums out there inspired by the stuff in Shenmue.

I put that aside and spent some time watching AMV, two of my favourites (this and this) featured the same song. I decided to use the same track when I started editing but in the end found that what I was producing was just too similar to the source material. It's like I was sort of trapped into doing something the same way or something.

Anyway, I completed more of it but this render features the first 30 seconds that I was reasonably happy with, if you check out the song and have some imagination you'll probably be able to match up what scenes I was going to use in what order - there's a bit in the track with laughing which just screamed out to have a shot of Yuan!

Although all my captured footage is now deleted I will return to this project at some point, in the meantime I'd appreciate suggestions on any music that you've heard that somehow makes you think about Shenmue.

All great work.

How about Queen's Who Wants to Live Forever? That song was released in 1986, same year Shenmue takes place. I can envision a good music video with Shenmue footage that makes sense.

One of the best bands and singers of all time coupled with footage from one of the best games of all time, epic if done right.

Thought I was gonna see some generic, not very good video, un-synced with the music. But damn, I thought it was amazing, and very impressive. I make videos too, so I can appreciate how much time it takes to make the video and sync it up with the music. I'm sad its only 30 seconds. I'd highly encourage you to finish it, because I'd really like to see it. As far as the creative process goes, I sometimes find myself copying other videos indirectly. While it feels like that, you are still creating something unique. I don't think your copying anyone, because those other videos you showed weren't shenmue. Only thing similar was the song, and they don't own that song. Finish it.

Playing around with the idea of starting another Shenmue video, some music suggestions would be appreciated as it's something I'm always stuck on.

Evanescence - My Immortal
OR
System of a Down - Chop Suey

are the only two real choices of music when making an AMV.

I've always thought this tune had a certain Shenmue quality to it. Ethereal and soothing.

Moved this to Community Project since it is just that.

Reminds me when I made a Shenmue music many many years ago to a cheesy punk cover of Kung Fu Fighting. It was pretty lame as I only had very little material to work with. Synching parts of the music up to that awesome QTE at the White Dynasty Qr. was fun though.

That short clip was impressive. What kind of colorization and blur effects are that Bambi?
