Don't Sleep...

So most people know Apocryphic Videos is the place where I share my videos. Sure I have my youtube page but I feel this is where I really like my videos to be seen. Directors' cuts only exist on this blog, Exclusives only on this blog.

Most of them are Tekken related however now and again I branch out and try something new and different.

Well people, something new and different is coming pretty soon.

A Tale of Two Trailers (part two)

And this is the final cut.

I am extremely happy with how it came out. The music is so intergal to this video.
I felt Daft Punk brought another level and with the tournament taking place at Arcade Legacy
a bonafide Arcade a song from Tron Legacy only fitted even better.

All the main games are given a quick spotlight. Unlike the original I made this move a quick faster.
I cut out the bit with Iron man at the beginning (with the name of the super) cause I felt it distracted from the video. The Super cut I feel is better too, the eye transition which most people would miss but I put it in there plus Juri's super does focus on her eye when she goes into that mode. Also the quick sepia-tone was a nice touch I thought.

The Tekken part was no brainer, I felt Kazuya watching a monitor is a lot like us watching the trailer. It ended with Lars and I performed the Lars combo to accompany it. I also felt it ended sweet with Lars punching a opponent away from him and it segues into Scorpion pulling an opponent to him and the thumbnail Youtube choose for this video is PERFECT.

It ended with the other games which are going to be played and some nice information about our venue.
I think being able to play on Arcade cabinets, catering and plenty of parking is a great draw for a tournament.

Big thanks to Nathan/ Osirun for letting me do this. I really enjoyed contributing to the greatest that is going to be Power Up 2011.

A Tale of Two Trailers (part one)

Here is the original trailer for Power Up 2011. I had this trailer in mind since Power Up 2011 was announced and really wanted to contribute some hype to my local tournament.

Being the original I had some ideas which I really wanted to see and sounded great on paper but didn't seem so hot in execution. The main thing I decided to change was the spinning/ xbox 360 logo for Power Up. I liked it but in the end I felt that I was overloading people with logos so I decided to simpify it for the final cut.

One of the things I really liked about the original trailer that I could not keep was the sync-ing of the Juri combo with the rising tempo of the song. As I made changes the song had to be shortened so it doesn't occur in the same place in the final cut.

I also had to put the website http://www.powerupfighters.com at the end as well.

Also in a strange turn of events, me and my fellow trailer creator Kameron completed the trailers around the same time, uploaded them around the same time and also both use Daft Punk songs from Tron Legacy... lol. More to follow in the part two

Watch this space!

So I've been in the lab creating a epic trailer for Power Up 2011.

Power Up 2011 is a tournament that is going down in my hometown of Ohio and I'll be there to help run Tekken as well as participate in the Tekken 5 on 5 as well as the Tekken singles tournament.

I need a final okay from Power Up's organizer Osirun and once I get it, I'll post it up.

Trust me, it's worth the wait!

Helping Hand: Yoshi's Poison Breaths

Woo hoo. Another new 'Helping Hand'! This one is a little longer then most mainly because I snuck in a extra one plus it was impossible to find a 'cool' combo with the plain Poison Breath.

One of the tributes is I used a song from S.U.N group and it's techno which is really really not my fave genre but it fit so well plus my fave Yoshi combo video by KYSG used S.U.N group and it fit so well so I decided to use the group again.

Also a big change for 'Helping Hand' is the fact that I am filming footage off my HD TV now and it looks noticeable better. Hopefully with HD filming I won't get the random black bar of doom.

LOL the only real drawback is I am now going to re-record alot of Apocalypse Now with better capturing so it's going to be delayed a little longer. I still need an epic song anyway.
