Happy First of April!

Okay LOL I won't lie, this is not what I originally had planned for according to my last post. But since it's April Fools' Day, I could not resist doing it. I orginally planned to release a MvC 3 combo video but time got away from me and I wasn't really doing any spectacular so I decided to wait till I actually own the game. This idea for a April Fools' Combo video using stupid combos from MK vs DC has gestated in my head for awhile tho and I'm happy I was able to execute it on the day. Now don't take offense... I'm not making fun of MK vs DC... well much. Seriously however, the game just had to be made fun of, I mean the animations and some of the combos alone just needed to be taken the piss out of (to use an old Aussie saying... it means make fun of). I actually wanted to do more but I think I got my message across with the stuff I recorded. If I had more time I would have love to have stuck in Kano's 'Fatality' (yep in inverted comma's) That was one of the worse fatalities of ALL time... no joke. Speaking of joke, it was almost kismet that the last combo was the Joker glitch where you only have to do the last two hits of the challenge combo to get a 'Success' instead of having to do the whole ridicolous combo they asked you to do. I mean Joker, April Fools? This stuff writes itself. Now the combos at the end are dead serious tho. I am putting my foot to the floor and trying to crank out a combo project that has long been sitting on the shelf. The Lucky 7 combo video will be done by Power Up... this I promise everyone. I think it'll be a nice good bye to T6 combo making for me and it ends with everyone contributing as well. Some other bonus directors' cut stuff. Of course I had to use some epic music, it suited the combo video theme so well. I originally intended to use the so over-used Techno remix of Mortal Kombat that everyone has used to death but I changed my mind at the last minute. LOL Epic music/ Epic combo... yes I have delusions of granduer, don't we all? I also wanted to use 'All the Lights' by Kanye but I settled on 'Amazing' mainly because I don't have 'All of the Lights' on my wife's lap top LOL fail. 'Amazing' worked tho and still fit. Finally, this is the first video I made purely with AVS. I have been using Windows Media Maker for the longest time and my wife has wanted me to use AVS a lot more instead of just for titles. The transitions are very very nice, especially the puzzle piece one so I will be using AVS alot more. Also I haven't mastered all of it's tweaks and one of them is fading music at the end, the cut is abrupt and I apologize for that. Well back to recording... 777 isn't going to get itself done by me sitting here. P
