Behind the Visions: Armory

So what will probably be my last combo video for Marvel 3 and the last combo video to be upload to my pigeondrago account, 'Armory' is a perfect way to say goodbye for me.

Iron Man has always been one of my favorite comic book characters and it pleases me to no end that he has had two good movies and a starring role in 'The Avengers'. However I felt my Iron Man combos didn't really do him justice in my first video (Shades of Gray), I knew I had to go back into the lab and come back something a lot more fierce. Hence 'Armory'.

Intro: This will probably be the last time we see the old Apocryphic Visions logo... farewell old logo, you had done me well. BTW that Iron Man pic is top tier, love the vibrant colors.

1. Mid screen, jump cancel combos are an awesome way to kick off the vid, I love how the beat matches the combo hits. Also lol at Hulk's cameo at the end, did not add much damage but I had to show I was still my 'SoG' team.

2. *sob* bye double jump, hopefully IM's quicker fly will be a good trade off tho. Also ending with 'Lost in Nightmares' into Iron Man blowing up the tank is one of my favorite edits in this video.

3. down+Heavy Punch combos!! LOL that move is not worthless after all. Also notice the timing of Iron Man in full glory (red) into his 'Iron Avenger' (blue). My wife really liked that as do I.

4. Combo is done on the blue sky background for a reason oh and Quentin mentioned I did not use 'fly' combos in my last video. Happy Quen? I even did it on your favorite character hehe.

5. In hindsight, this should have been the throw combo I should have done in the 'Shades of Gray' video.

6. I actually had a left over combo from 'SoG' that was similar to this, I however re-did with a better assist, ending. I like it a lot more now.

7. I timed Hulk coming in and 'cry' at the same time. Also smart bomb combos FTW... so stylish!

8. Another 'SoG' left over I revisited, I added a lot more to it and I love all the 'rocks' on the screen, also love how the whole team is used.

9. Death combo, smart bombs for days, showing my team's synergy and ending with the same move that 'SoG' ended with = no brainer for the final combo.

Music Choice: Much like I love Kelis, I love me some Kenna. I am happy to use this song finally in a video even through it took me hours to put the two together. I do not think I have ever had this much trouble finding a song for a video. I went through many other options like songs from the 'Tron Legacy' OST, Kelis again (this time, I was going to use 'Brave') and even Black Eyed Peas' 'Boom Boom Pow'. I am happy with my final choice tho.

Also notice I finally got the aspect ration down so this video appears full screen when I uploaded it on Youtube. No more letter boxes for me! I am happy to say this is looking good for my new big project. Direct capture, no letter boxes... its going to look great.

Well hope you enjoyed it.
