My First DBZ "AMV"...(WARNING: Poor editing may offend)

...if you could call it that.

So I brought this up in this thread here:
http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtop ... =1&t=24249

Edited 5 years ago now, all the way back in 2008 when I'd only just been introduced to Windows Movie Maker through a class at intermediate (school in NZ for kids aged 11-12). I don't exactly know what I was thinking at the time, particularly with the random Spongebob clips, but I recall being really proud of it. :oops: My parents seemed to enjoy it too, though. :lol:

So, if I'm so ashamed of it, why have I brought it up again? Well a couple of reasons:

1) Watching it again recently, I began to feel really nostalgic about the times when I was heavily into video making- something I haven't done properly in a good couple of years now (mostly due to laziness) and having seen this, I really missed that awesome feeling of finishing a product and anticipating its upload to YouTube. It really inspired me to get back into doing this sort of thing again, and I wanted my early work fresh in my mind so I could see how I've improved, although I'll obviously be a tad rusty when I start up again.

2) This post:

One of these videos was a typical Bruce Faulconer re-scoring of scenes from the film and the other was an "AMV" using Disturbed's Inside the Fire. :roll: Both were equally terrible, but I was honestly quite proud of them at the time. I still have them actually...maybe I''ll upload them some time, for old time's sake. The third video was, ugh, what I called DBZ Movie Breakdown, in which I went through DBZ Movies 8, 10 and 11 and analyzed Broly's strength...yeeeeeaaaah. :oops:

You will upload them. All 3 of them. :twisted:
Fortunately, this is the only one I have left. The others have disappeared into the depths of the Recycle Bin. :lol:

So, without further ado, here's my childhood; re-uploaded on one of the many YouTube accounts I've had (For the record, I've had three of them). This one'll be gone soon too, it was a bit of a failed attempt at restarting after my most successful one got suspended. This is when I got lazy...about 3 years ago. :lol: Don't worry, I plan to start fresh in the new year. :)

And for some reason, I turned this simple thread into an essay of some sort. :roll:

Fixed your typo. :P
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.
