The last day of Tera Online, June 30th, 2022. Thousands of players gathered in and around Velika to experience the world of Tera one last time. First a large group of players flew to the beach in Velika Outskirts to set off fireworks, then back to Velika square to witness the server shutdown. RIP TERA. You will be deeply missed.

This AMV is a loose adaptation of The Gnosis Incident, which was a real event that happened in the game Elite Dangerous. The event happened to real players and played out in real time, eventually becoming in-game lore. The research vessel the Gnosis was prepared to jump to a permit-locked region of space, only to be attacked en-route by the in-game aliens called the Thargoids. Some of those on ...

I submitted this AMV to the Nebraskon 2018 AMV contest, which turned out to be an absolute and complete disaster. I'm uploading this primarily for those who were in attendance, because numerous technical difficulties (some of which were eventually ignored), meant this entry was shown in a corrupted mess.

nice vid, thanks for making and sharing
That is epic. Love it!
Awesome!!
Amazing. 👏 👏 👏
I loved how one of the nerdiest boy scouts turned into a galactic criminal.
One of my favorite things about the show. He goes from a normal astronaut who's completely powerless and out of his element in every conceivable fashion to becoming one of the most legendary figures in the Uncharted Territories, a man who's known for destroying a Scarran Dreadnought with a star, committing nuclear terrorism, and singlehandedly altering the course of multiple type 2 alien civilizations.
They REALLY don't make'em like they used to.
@@daimyo2k nope, they certainly don't.
An amazing show.
Wonderful TV
Epic show
I'm not sure why, precisely, the Algorithm decided to put this in my feed, but I sure as hezmana ain't complaining. I got legit chills from that. Gods, if there were one show I could pick to get a sequel (not a reboot) series, it's be Farscape. If he's even half the trouble magnet his parents were, D'Argo "Deke" Sun-Crichton story as got to have enough tales to pact a few seasons.
I was quite surprised when I checked the view count the morning after posting and saw it'd already blazed past 1k views. That's something my usual AMVs hardly ever do. No idea why it chose this video in particular. Deke's story post- PKW would have been incredible, absolutely agreed.
Farscape FOREVER!!
Babylon 5 brought back the epic-scale storytelling, Stargate SG-1 brought back the science, and Farscape brought back the *fun* to science fiction series on TV.
So amazing. Farscape will never cease to be my favourite
Well i'll be damned, the RUclips algorithm is a hellova thing. This brought back so much. Ah what a great movie series. Thanks for making this! ✌
Glad you enjoyed!! It was a nice change of pace from my usual AMVs. No idea why the algorithm decided to chose me this time.
Wow❤❤❤
SLAY
this one was INSAAAAANE OMGGGGG i had chills so many times while watching it live at naka, such a well deserved win 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Glad you enjoyed it and got to see it live! ^_^
I told you in person, but I'll say it again, you always know how to bring the action! Loved the song choice for it as well. When it hits that "bloody halo" part it goes next level. Great vid!
Thanks! ^_^ I wasn't sure about the video's concept at first, but once I put together that Evangelion literally has a bloody halo several times, that's what sold it for me. Always good to see your videos as well! Seeing Lyrical Bombs at Nebraskon last year was an overwhelmingly fantastic surprise!
This amv was truly amazing to watch. Your timings and transitions are absolutely stunning, the pop-in/pop-out of the NERV banners is GENIUS, not to mention the perfect song choice. I also see that you produced the Planet Hell amv too, which is also one of my favorites! ❤ Keep up the phenomenal work!! I look forward to whatever you dream up next!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! This was quite fun to edit. Within Temptation truly does lend itself extremely well to Evangelion. The NERV banners was a bit experimental since I figured I had to put something in the black boxes, which itself is a reference to the show's tendency to switch aspect ratios, which made Planet Hell a colossal pain in the ass until I figured out how to resize entire timelines. Speaking of Planet Hell, I'm very happy people still remember that one! It's still one of my favorites. Side note, there's a super quick Naka-kon logo I snuck in at 4:00. Only there for three frames. Even the judges missed it!
@@CMDR_John_Crichton It was a quick flash, but I saw the Naka logo the first time around! Haha! 👍 I should have realized by the render at the end of the vid that you were also responsible for Impossible. When I want to show people an example of AMV excellence in beat by beat precision editing, I always pull that one up. Needless to say, I'm an unwittingly massive fan of your work.
@@bazzle0392 Much appreciated! I'm super happy to be used for such an example! ^_^ Few cool things about the Impossible amv. For starters, I did it solely as a way to showcase Two Steps From Hell, who could be best described as quite simply "holy shit", so the Fate series was an obvious choice. The original vision I had for the end fight scene was for at least part of it to take place in the Naka-kon courtyard area, but let's be honest, I very often get dumbass creative ideas that well outstrip my ability. I was lucky to even get the credits to render in time haha!
Rewatching this again, because this AMV is one of my all time favorites. I just think it's amazing.
E.D. 1:06
Had me entranced the entire video!! Awesome to meet you at Nebraskon! Keep up the great work! Sounded like you got a lot of amazing ideas lined up for future videos😃
I found this while trying to scope out the competition for the Naka-Kon contest earlier this year before I entered and I keep coming back to it every week or so. Just such an addicting AMV. I’m blown away by the skill on display here. Do you have an estimate on how long a video of this scale takes for you to complete? I spent a month on my submission and have been able to get my time down to about two weeks after more practice but none of mine have been this involved.
Really glad you enjoyed it! It really was insane editing this video, way more involved than my other amvs. In terms of how long it took, I actually first conceived of the idea years ago, but could never figure out how to edit the interface, but total editing time was over the course of a year, off and on. The bulk of it though probably took a couple months maybe. This amv, at least how I did it and the program I used, might not be the best yardstick in terms of comparing it to how long one's own work would take, since you're not very likely to find a video with 429 video tracks. How long a video takes is highly dependent on what software you use, length of video, target contest, and especially how balls to the wall you want to get with it. This video, for example, I just sorta went full weaponized autism and poured basically every bit of myself into it. I wanted to share with others a bit of my world that was truly special, so it took a super long time to get to a point I was comfortable showing it off. Eager to see more of your videos next year!
Letting this play through here on RUclips also since I was really impressed when you showed it at Tokyo in Tulsa! Thanks for sharing & for a solid panel!
Thanks! Glad you were there to enjoy it! That was the first time I've been a part of a panel, not including Naka-kon's 2020 virtual con, so I'm happy it went well.
Truly a masterpiece! The pacing, the timing, the song choice and clip selection. I can't express just how amazing this amv is. Really speaks to the artistry when watching it gives me goosebumps every time. Bravo!!!
Thanks!! ^_^ really glad you enjoyed it! I'm A bit surprised at how well it turned out, since I started really late on it. Always felt Two Steps From Hell worked perfectly for the Fate series, so I figured this was inevitable.
Just re-watched this again and my year old comment still stands. This AMV is truly a cut above. I'm always blown away by the razor-sharp precision timing and the way the scenes start to explode as the music swells. A true masterpiece IMHO.
AWESOME AND I love some fate. The 3d modeling addition was badass and I literally cannont wait to see your amv next year!!!
Thanks! I'm super happy everyone liked the animation bit. To be honest, I'm not at all happy with how it rendered, but due to time constraints I was forced to use it as is. The 3d model I used includes every single brick in the OPCC courtyard as individual 3d objects (in order to keep the proportions accurate), so naturally that ate through all my PC's resources. It straight up would not render in the more realistic render engine in Blender, so I had to go with this. Main thing I plan to do with it is to make it into a VRChat world, so those that cannot make it to Naka can experience it in a virtual setting. Though I do have more amv plans for the 3d model in the future ;)
Ok now explain the entire Fate franchise... Haha great video! The falling spin at 1:06 is still my favorite part of the whole thing.
Thanks!! I'm afraid I do not know a thing about Fate hahaha. You'll have to go to Winterblade AMVs for that, he's a walking encyclopedia on that franchise. Oh yes, that clip was perfect! I was looking for clip fodder for that section, and just simply dropped it down on the timeline, saw it worked perfectly with no editing whatsoever, and it made the final cut as is. Like Shooter McGavin playing the ball as it lies, that clip played exactly where I randomly dropped it.
This AMV receives the greatest honor from me - The honor of donating a new song to my ipod. There's nothing I love more than discovering music through AMVs, haha. Amazing work on the visuals too, this is some top-notch editing
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!! This is really why I chose this song. Two Steps From Hell doesn't get nearly enough love and attention for how amazingly thunderous they can be. The Sun album from their composer, Thomas Bergersen is also absolutely incredible, in case you wanted to feel like you're about to singlehandedly challenge the armies of Mordor.
Bit of explanation: The rendered animation at the beginning and end were made in Blender (I'm still a beginner), and is a 1:1 scale 3d model of the Overland Park Convention Center where Naka-Kon is held. I've spent the last two years 3d modeling the entire convention center space from scratch, and only recently decided to add what I have so far somewhere in an amv because I couldn't think of anything better for an end credits sequence. I have odd hobbies.
This is so beautiful and elegant. I listen to this as I’m reading my textbook and studying
I noticed you mentioned you can port assets into unity and blender? how do you do that? sounds cool.
I'm actually surprised someone caught that so quickly. There's a program called Real Editor you can download from Github (or the link in the description, there's some cool stuff in there) that allows you to open the .gpk files that store the game assets, so things like NPCs, monsters, and objects. If I'm not mistaken you can likely do this for every Tera private server out there, like Menma's. Pretty much the only thing that isn't there in its whole form is your custom character model, but all of its components are stored in those files somewhere. It's a bit scattered, doesn't have a very clear system of figuring out where a certain item or thing is stored, and there isn't much of a guide online stating what asset file stores and does what, so trial and error is needed to find stuff. Opening a .gpk file in Real Editor will give you a list of all the components inside, such as meshes, skeletons, and 3d models. Selecting one of those skeletons for example will open the file where it's stored, and gives you a button to export it to a separate file, by default in FBX format, which is easily imported into Blender. This export also exports the materials for whatever model you selected, so that can be imported into Blender as well. If you're after character models, those I believe come with bone structures built-in, so you shouldn't need to mess with those much. It's a bit late to recreate your player characters, assuming you don't have many reference videos or pictures, but player characters are built a bit different. They aren't one single model that can be found in one file somewhere. Each piece of armor and weapon do exist as models, but from what I understand (I may be wrong) the game sort of rebuilds your character from those base models every time you boot the game up, a bit like virtual Legos. Also at startup, the game runs the model for your character's face through the sliders you chose when you first made it. Now I haven't yet found a way to perfectly reproduce those sliders through Blender outside of just sculpting them manually, so if you want to recreate your characters for use in things like VRChat, like what I'm doing, sculpting the faces yourself appears to be the best option. Likewise with the hair models, the base files only come in grey hair, so the game runs that through the hair color option you chose when you first made it. Any hair color change you want will have to be done by running the material image through a photo editor, like GIMP or something. I didn't have Photoshop. Hope this helps! Like I said, I've included a Google Drive link for Real Editor in the description. There's also a few GPK files, exported FBX files, and materials for you to mess with if you like, plus a Blender file of my main character. Side note, Elins aren't actually referred to as Elins in the game files. They're stored under Popori for some reason. Every other race gets named properly.
@@CMDR_John_Crichton wow thanks for the long answer!

Hello! Amazing AMV! 🤚 I'd like to suggest my music (Japanese Instrumentals in different genres) for your next AMVs. Im sure it could fit! 🙃 You can listen to my music for example on my RUclips channel (or any streaming services you prefer)! If you like and are interested, please write to me, thanks! 😅 Thank you very much for your attention! Have a nice day! 😊
Amazing work as always!! Keep it up!
Thanks!! ^_^
I absolutely loved this AMV. I thought it was going to win best overall. You made a great video in my opinion.
Thanks!! I was hoping for the top spot, but I'm happy just to show a video that involved Elite Dangerous, just to surprise that one person in the audience that plays as much as I do. Really enjoyed yours too. It was fantastic. Always eager to see what you present.
@@CMDR_John_Crichton haha I literally started playing Elite Dangerous like 3 weeks ago. Awesome game for sure.
@@thegreattobeast oh excellent! I've played since 2016. It never gets old for me.
Yours was my FAVORITE. I absolutely love meshing things together in amvs that you wouldnt expect. And seeing a video game PERFECTLY and seamlessly included like this is spectacular.
Thanks!! It's such a joy mixing in obscure things I love into amvs. I'm really glad you like it! Yours was probably my favorite from the general contest as well. It just felt so good.
Pal, iT Is BeauTifUl , I released a new video, I hope you like it
Now this is a blast from the past, isn't it?
That was the plan, to make it as nostalgic as possible.
Alienware car+sunshine keys crashbreaker race reverse+this song=perfection
Are you referring to the small clip at the top at 3:35?
@@CMDR_John_Crichton no that's what I did
I love this! It's so well edited, I had a smile on my face the whole time. Did you submit this to Nebraskon? I ask because I'm pretty sure remember seeing an Evangelion Nightwish AMV there in 2019. But I can't remember what it was like.
Yup, that was me! Glad you remembered! That one was a bit of a remaster of this one. Some clips rearranged, better timing in some spots, and better color effects I didn't have time for in 2017 (that render for the Naka-kon contest was done the day I submitted it). Thanks for the input, and I'm happy you enjoyed it! This video is still a personal favorite.
@@CMDR_John_Crichton Ooh so I was right. I’m glad I was able to find this! Keep up the good work!
Better than the official game trailer. Loved it.
This is epic.
Thanks!
I mentioned wanting to watch Redline, and my intoxicated girlfriend became obsessed that I send her the link to it. It’s certainly worth being obsessed with while intoxicated.
This video won Best in Show in the Tokyo in Tulsa 2021 AMV Contest, somehow. This was the only video shown in the contest that had nothing to do with anime and was submitted simply because the rules allowed for it. I wasn't really trying to win anything with it. I just submitted it because I love Elite Dangerous and thought people would enjoy something that looks like a game trailer.
About that ending credits scene. SLICK AF. Now you're just showing off. :)
What can I say, I love Burnout haha.
Burnout revenge was my first introduction to this song. Search for an amv of on a whim years later. Props to you for your ear for the unique. Edit: The speed up of footage to match the song. The game ui overlay! GOLD.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy it! It really was a labor of love. I'd had the concept of the video in my head for many years but could never figure out how to create the overlay without having the Burnout gameplay show underneath, but then I realized I could just take single frames and mask around things. Everything works almost exactly how it does in the original game. I have uploaded a recent version of this with an updated credits scene. Its a reconstruction of the after-race menu from Burnout 3. The credits actually needed more video tracks than the main amv did.
Bravo! Beautiful! Great music and anime and game.
Nice one! It totally brought firefly to my mind.
It definitely does have that feel to it. I didn't think to put in subtle references to Firefly (I should've), but there is a couple really small references to my favorite show that's just as good, Farscape. One of them is in the video thumbnail. Glad you enjoyed it! I planned on submitting this amv to the general amv contest at Naka-kon this year before they canceled it. Just as filler material, not for judging. I have another I'm going to submit for judging that I might upload soon.
@@CMDR_John_Crichton I never saw a ton of Farscape. But they did steal a couple of the Farscape actors for the latter seasons of my favorite show Stargate SG-1! I'll be on the lookout for your entry video. The lyrical bombs amv I uploaded was going to be mine. I thought about trying to take it to a different con but I'm not sure there will be any other cons this year with how things are going.
One of my faves you've made so far. Keep going 💘💘💘
Awesome! Delain & Anime - you can't go wrong :D Keep up the good work!
