"Michaelangelo's Mission"

[Michaelangelo]

Hey all,

This music video is something I threw together by throwing two things that mean a lot to me together.  Michaelangelo being the Turtle I'm closes to and a song from "Rush" called "Mission"    This song is important to me, because a friend of mine who passed away in 2000 titled it my theme song.   She said when ever she heard this song, it reminded her of me.  So one day while sitting around I figured I'd put the two together.

I like the flow of the video, how well it goes from the easy beginning things are calm like, then it jumps up in the action on the screen when the music jumps up. The song itself to me is a touching song, and the way you put the video together i like how it matches up with the words in the song. To me it makes me think of a story or a dream of Michelangelo's (which is always a heart touching thing for me on two things - a persons dream and of course my Mikey *g*).

The touch between the two types if cartoons used in this, the new one and the Anime, you can tell because the styles are very obviously different but it's not too much of a shock where a person is blinking and thinking, 'Whoa, what the heck happened?' (Plus there's a scene with Mikey butt... That cracked me up! That's great!)

I do like how the video was ended (i won't say what it was so i don't spoil it for others) But it was very, very cute.

Once again, i liked the flow. I feel the scenes were put together nicely, fit the music and was overall worth to watch and see over again. (And i'm not just saying this because Michelangelo is my favorite turtle... but that does help!).

Now if you'll excuse me i must go bap my hubby who kept interupting me and making me loosing my train of thought...

Wow, I've only seen the first minute or so, but that looks so awesome!

I love this song! *_* I didn't see any choppiness or weird bloopy effects that I've seen in other music videos. The lyrics matched the scenes (or the scenes matched the lyrics?), and it's definitely a Mikey song. He's not ALWAYS the crazy, random guy. He can have his endearing moments. =)

Your friend certainly knew her music

I enjoyed this video alot, though I wish we could've seen some other genres in the mix like the Archie comics. There were a couple of still shots I saw where that might've came in handy to cut to a scan from an old issue of TMNT Adventures.

Everyone works with the medias that they want too... I was happy with the medias I had.   If you want medias like Archie feel free to make a music video with it in there.   Though please, don't view the videos and think 'other medias' just think does what I have there right now match what the song says.   If you see something and think of other medias for the same song, go ahead and make a music video with the same song.

When I'm making my videos I'm working with media's I'm comfortable with.  I've got many songs that are being saved to be used for the original series area.  And I have thought about using the comics but I don't have a scanner hooked up to my computer that works right now.  So it's not a choice.   Though when I do finally decide to do that stuff, it will be because it is what comes to my mind when hearing the song.

I feel for the videos that I want to do of the original series not enough episoides are out on DVD, because it'll be cutting in a LOT of episoides and there's a LOT of effects I want to use.   And really it's a song I've been wanting to put to the TMNT since the early 90's.   Though I'm waiting till I got enough of the characters I'm thinking about.  I've only got seasons 1 & 2, haven't had the money to pick up season 3 (check DJ for more on that).  

I wouldn't be replying like this, if we didn't already talk about other medias with my music videos.  The question is, does the song match with what I got or does it not...   not how many medias can you put into a video.  That isn't how I work.  So far the closes I've done to that is 4 animes to one music video, which isn't up yet.    And TMNT wise, I'm working on a video now that has a lot of a mix of the 1st movie, 4kids, and the anime.

I already feel like I HAVE to use the anime if I want to or not on my music videos, because it's the only way to get it posted on a public site where other people besides my friends here can view it.  AMV only allows videos that have anime in it to be on their sites.   Otherwise some of these videos would be 4Kids only.   There's a lot of stills being used from the anime, because it moves so fast and it's hard to get good scenes out of it without using the same over and over (only got two episoides to work with!).
