Elvis Presley vs. JXL - A Little Less Conversation (Various Anime)


OLink: video information (animemusicvideos.org)
Author: Sierra Lorna

Now this is an absolute killer. What would you say about taking a normal music video and replacing each human character with an anime one? Words just cannot describe what the author has achieved. Compare it with the original Elvis vs. JXL music video that you can find here, and be amazed. Be really amazed 'cause you don't see such things often... In fact it's a very old AMV and if you're in the subject you should have seen it already... several times at least ;].

What I especially like in this clip are the 'moments'. Like the Excel Saga double chorus, or the Spike's 'Burce Lee' dance. Gunsmith Cats look sweet too. And of course the general feel or parody yet perfection in the execution. But what would you expect after the author, I mean just listen to this quote.
So, yes, this entire video is edited frame-by-frame. You might even call this a Photoshop project rather than a Premiere project, though I still did quite a bit of editing in Premiere as well. It's entirely made up of .BMP images that were in some way edited in Photoshop. I did it all just to see if I could do it. ;)

I exactly understand the author. I once did a ridiculous vectoring project just to see if it can be done, but this clip is way in a different league. But the effort did pay off, the result is absolutely amazing. 'Pushing the Sky' is what comes to my mind here. Yes, that's a good motivation to create things. Exceed the limits. And I say this clip just did.
