Hmm.. I've just realized that this is supposed to be a snapshot of what people see on their deathbed looking back at their lives. Sadness, love, and bursts of the pain that passes by. The last part goes very quickly to convey the unpleasant and scarring moments in life. Most revel in the joyous times and what it took to create those moments. I love that this is done with Ghibli clips for the most part. It really shows that Miyazaki and his studio really value conveying human emotions and relationships between one another. I love your work on AMVs. They're so fresh and great. It's a real inspiration to me. I remember sitting down at the viewing room and watching Into The Labyrinth for the first time at Fanime a couple of years ago. The audience was absolutely captivated and absorbed by the visuals. The visuals were so unexpected and new, being 60fps, intepolated animation with different color effects synced up to entrancing music in a dark room on a large projector screen. At the end, there was a guy in the front that yelled out WTF in confusion and in awe of what we all witnessed. The audience chuckled since he expressed so poignantly how everybody there was feeling. Anyways, I like your Elite Dangerous, Monogatari, and composed anime music videos. I think they're pretty cool. Some of your AMVs have helped me understand some of my feelings, instilled a certain wonder about our galaxy, and made me really appreciate how awesome animation can really be. You've had a huge impact on me.
Thanks man for the writeup, I really enjoyed reading about the WTF-guy in particular :) And yeah, the fact that this vid could be done pretty much exclusively with Ghibli movies is awesome. Ghibli movies all share the fact that the themes are close to life itself, so they work beautifully in context of this video to make it as coherent as it is now. For a long time, I've dreamed of being someone who could make magical and awe-inspiring things like those that I myself enjoy so much. That's why reading your last paragraph and other comments like this make me realize that I might've achieved it on a small scale, which is really great. Thanks bro.
Small scale? ya idk about that man i fucking love you i am watching your vids to study on how i should do my montage of my gameplay and how to sync up but i realized how many lvls you were syncing and got a bit sad lol cuz i am struggle to do 1 but you truly are my inspration if you could do layers of this i could do at least bass.
I refuse to call this "amv" this is a piece of art of it's own kind. i've never been moved by an "amv" this much and this subtly . dear lolligerjoj , you're great ! the raw emotions...just , wow... (i'm soooo binge watching your channel's content soon !!! )
Hope youre doing well. Your videos really affected me as an growing adult and was one of main reasons ive decided to pursue art career 10 years ago. Thank you wherever you are.
a masterpiece. an art, still rewaching this, and as i get older i see and sense something new. can't believe this was made by a human... also still waiting something new
the most random ass comment of my old channel has over 300likes and it doesnt even let me fix the spelling error, while other put in real effort and paid more attention to detail about the actual content and apparently thought spent on this masterpiece. unlucky xd all ur work is insane however. this one and labyrinth were mindblowing edits, even without knowing monogatari to feel more intense about it. smooth af and some incredible flow. wish u were still putting out stuff like this.
Damn I really have been waiting over 3 years for a new amv and still nothing. That's good. That means you found something you enjoy more than making this stuff. Ofc I'd like to see a new one but if you're enjoying life, then keep at it. I hope you're doing great!
alan arman its a little more complicated. If you are interested in what he did. You can check here. lolligerjoj.wordpress.com/2016/10/22/twixtor-on-anime-footage-and-ae-workflow-using-twixtor/
I have met you too late. I can't even speak English well. But, I hope you have a good life. The work you do is just *awesome* . You deserve the best. Thank you.
I regret that I will not be able to experience this video as a first time experience any more. I was quite fortunate to be able to see this on the big screen at AX's AMV contest. It was a very mind blowing experience. Thank you for making this video.
So, I see death as a window to the afterlife, representing the realisation of mortality, followed by wonder, surprise, but also disbelief and denial. The (non existent) "protagonist" of the video (who is more of a metaphorical combination of viewer and creator) then realises the need to let go, and the grief that comes with it, causing them to focus on the things and people they have in their life. The theme now somewhat shifts to the circle of life, most notably the idea of your impact on this world as a form of rebirth, or, in the wider sense, a continuation of ones existence. The focus is on family and people, most importantly children, but also other achievements that are left for those to come. I really like the ending here, picturing rebirth as the same as heredity, and therefore wrapping up many of the central themes. I also guess the creator of this work experienced many of these feelings and realisations in the not too distant past before creating this. Am I close? Or did I miss the mark entirely?
+FafliX I myself see it in multiple perspectives. One of mine is very close to yours though. I do not claim any interpretations to be correct, because the identity of the video is first and foremost only what you see.
There's something to this AMV that I can't explain... I've been afraid of the Zelda Majora's Mask Moon since I was 5, and once I saw it, my heart started racing like crazy... I was really scared to death! The thing is, I've seen it now several times, and I just know there's a hidden meaning behind this work of art. Each time I watch it I can appreciate certain effects closer and closer, and up to this day, I consider it to be one of my favourite AMVs of all time. You have really unique skills when it comes to editing, skills that aren't really explainable by words alone. I feel that the song you used are the words themselves. Music is what really speaks to you in this video, but without the scenes, the song would be somewhat empty. Your usage of psychological and psychedelic scenes (more than usage, creation) is bound to make someone unpleasant, but not necesarily in a bad way. I've been trying to edit a video my self for over a year now, and I've never gotten to really work hard on it. I think this video will enable me a wider range of possibilities regarding certain scenes and effects. To sum up, you made a work of art. It doesn't even look like Ghibli anymore...
Thanks man. It's cool that my videos sometimes mean this much to people. Yeah the moon of Majora's Mask is quite a geniusly haunting being. I'm glad I could make a video where it fits so nicely.
Every time you make a new AMV, it sets some kind of genuinely new standard for cohesive AMV composition at a technical and artistic level. Basically, all your work is completely perfect in every way. Though I might be a tad biased thanks to the *cough* festivities of the day on which this video was released.
Mate never in my life have I seen such an original and astonishing end. I would lie if I said that I've ever seen an editor more brilliant, enjoyable, wonderful and perfect.
Was so stoked to see your name at the AMV contest for AX! I had not seen this prior to AX so I was blown away watching this on the big screen. Easily my favorite AMV of the night. Keep up the amazing work!
Amazing. Simply amazing. I rarely see people use Ghibli, or perhaps rather use it in interesting and unusual ways, ways that makes an AMV stand out and touch you. This touched me.
5:15-6:20....pure masterpiece of editing/creating. some of anime here are so old, like music video On your Mark, and thanks to you they look like they were made now. Amazing.
Every time I watch your AMVs, I know I'm going to take a trip to unexplored realms and back. Every one I've watched so far has been an experience in and of itself. On a technical level, that ending really blew me away. Your creativity and skills to empower it impress me all the time.
There are no words the incredible amount of work, vision and sense of artistic aethetic and narrative skill and knowledge you've put into this. I feel small in comparison. What an immense statement of art. What a pleasure to my senses. Sheer bliss. Thank you. I hope you are in good health and good spirits wherever you are right now. Be assured that the passion and patience you've dedicated to this was not in vain. We all gather here in awe of you. In awe of your work. Your presence has been recognized. Be well friend, be well.
It's *amazing* to finally see an editor using software to make a video. Editing will get on a whole new level if more people adapt to this. This is a pretty cool video.
+GABY's VIDEOS he was sarcastic ;) the videomaker probably used adobe after effects, but the very most of the effects can also be made with premiere or vegas pro
+KillTheFuture42 Oh, thank you for reply :) . ^^ First time I really through that "software" is another amazing and unknown program for editing videos .
Turning the omnipotent Lilith to a beautiful butterfly...no words can describe the sheer amount of effort this kind of editing can be put on. Just astounding
I didn't really understand it, but this was still amazing to watch. The quality of your videos is so much better than almost every video editor i know; your stuff blows my mind with how smooth and on point evetything is. This was beautiful! :D
Back in 2013, I saw amv "Into The Labyrinth", experienced the excitement added to his videos, and glanced periodically. Then I had no idea what the 60 frames per second in the movies. About a year ago, I became interested in this subject and now watching anime or movies in 60 fps for me as a bonus. And only yesterday I stumbled across on the Internet at the next job amv 60 fps, and was on the credit the author of the channel. Looked latest work again, the next and the next ... all in good strange, catch my perception of art. And what was my surprise when I found that the very first work of this author was the same "Into The Labyrinth". Better late than never. I respect the man under the nickname lolligerjoj. Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Russia.)
Thanks. I think the main thing is just having an idea. The idea will motivate you, and technical skills come with time and repetition. Though an idea is exactly what I'm lacking right now.

Almost five years later and this is STILL the best AMV I've ever seen
You make me feel things. Thanks.
How doesn't this have +1M views? This is with difference the most beautiful and pleasant video I've seen this year
Glad to see people can use software.
+caleb kelly (is probably a real stupid question) but what is 'software'?
+AsakuraAka editing software Premier, after effects, sony Vegas, davinci resolve, and some others But lolligerjoj used after effects.
Twixtor Plugin in After effects in that case
Did i miss something or the frame rate was intergrate with some AI.

6 years, wow. I remember first day when you uploaded this on TH-cam. With years I appreciate it much more. Im lucky that I can watch work like this.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who can't stop coming back to this
This is the definition of perfection, just like every AMV u did until now!!! xD
I have been watching this for 4 years straight and it gets me every time. thanks for this masterpiece!
Lol I am back watching it in 2022... Still super good. and I am now a motion graphic designer myself. hell yeah.
I have met you too late. I can't even speak English well. But, I hope you have a good life. The work you do is just *awesome* .
You deserve the best. Thank you.

thanks! may I ask you how you found this video? I'm somehow getting comments quite frequently right now.

lolligerjoj Super Eyepatch Wolf talked about your video, I came here because of him, at least
lolligerjoj he posted the video 2 hours ago
Super Eyepatch Wolf recommended your Video
you have an ability and unmatched talent..!! very good work thanks for sharing
I regret that I will not be able to experience this video as a first time experience any more. I was quite fortunate to be able to see this on the big screen at AX's AMV contest. It was a very mind blowing experience. Thank you for making this video.
Thanks :)
But think about this: I myself never got to experience it the first time D: that's tough
it still amazes me how smooth the custom frames are
Please comeback

i really wasnt expecting much, but that was utterly breathtaking. @Lolligerjoj this is really special, you should be very proud of yourself
I felt this on so many levels. Thank you. You are editing goals.

Man, years later I still come back to watch these, and they never get old. The quality is just astoundingly superb.
The GOD is back
Mate never in my life have I seen such an original and astonishing end. I would lie if I said that I've ever seen an editor more brilliant, enjoyable, wonderful and perfect.
2 years later and it’s still the craziest thing i’ve ever seen
Mesmerizing edit. Your videos are a journey and I cannot watch them too often but when I do I enjoy them to the fullest.
After so many years, it's a masterpiece. Thank you so much for this effort, it's always outstanding like the first time I saw it.
Was so stoked to see your name at the AMV contest for AX! I had not seen this prior to AX so I was blown away watching this on the big screen. Easily my favorite AMV of the night. Keep up the amazing work!
Amazing. Simply amazing. I rarely see people use Ghibli, or perhaps rather use it in interesting and unusual ways, ways that makes an AMV stand out and touch you. This touched me.
Oh golly me, you undoubtly make the best AMVs I have ever seen on youtube, thanks for all your work :D
こういうデジタルな処理が大好きです。
元の作品群との距離を保ちながら、ひとつの映像に再構築されていて、作り手の人の冷静さを感じました。
You play animation like music instruments. It's incredible.
5:15-6:20....pure masterpiece of editing/creating. some of anime here are so old, like music video On your Mark, and thanks to you they look like they were made now. Amazing.
It's been Years now and this is still the best I've ever seen
Just rewatched this and it's actually such a masterpiece. Still the best AMV I've ever encountered!

I hope that you're going to upload again at some point :(
I eagerly await your next project, lolligerjoj. I still haven't fully gotten over how incredible this video is.
There are no words the incredible amount of work, vision and sense of artistic aethetic and narrative skill and knowledge you've put into this. I feel small in comparison.

This is a beautiful video, incredible work. It contains so much artistry that I want to come back and watch it multiple times and think about it.
Some of the best editing I've ever seen for any AMV. I saw this at AX AMV competition and was blown away
I immediately recognized Floex's music after being introduced to it in Samorost 3. Your editing style fits the sound so well!
Samorost 3 is phenomenal, in all its audiovisual departments
So true.
I still think about the part where you trace out the entire life of the girl and her husband. I can't imagine how you figured that out.
you're a genius man, i can't help but keep coming back to rewatch all your amvs
me costo encontrarlo. Esto es una joya de arte

Fucking hell. Whenever you post a new video it never ceases to amaze me just what is possible with software. Your technical skills are baffeling.
Wow this is so thought-provoking. Great job
easily the coolest special effects on any amv ever...
4 years later i still watch this and everytime i do nostalgia hits
i love how this amv includes every ghibli film since i stan ghibli
Another flawless work of art. Every time you make a new video it also becomes my new favourite. Bloody well done.
thats looks so smooth, i dont understand how its even possible to make something like this
glad to see the king is back at it again. awesome vid.
recommending watching this while high, I legit cried
XD get on my level
Take Lsd xD
I felt everything, always.
this is by far the best thing I've seen in 2016
I don't know why you stopped but please, youtube needs your hard work and dedication back
I don't know why, but this video has connected with me in a specially way.... Great music, great vibe and amazing video editing.... Man, thanks!

Watching this in 144p feels so wrong...
It's a sin, perhaps
truly amazing work. 20/10
Cette vidéo est incroyable, un véritable chef-d'œuvre !
you, every fucking time man, you bring something utterly beautiful, you, are a fucking genius, you don't make videos, you make art
Incredible editing. A great recommendation from Super Eyepatch Wolf!
Your editing is just so beautiful and unique
Always a pleasure to see a new video from you, keep up the great work lolli!
Very immersive. Congratulations! You did it again.
Still visiting it!Makes my heart go blurrrr❤
Coming back to this video since watching it like 4 years ago lmao
So long as you're aware. Me and my housemate consider this fine art for anything that's worth
One of the best thing I've ever seen. Amazing feeling, I've seen the life.
Well I just watched this high. Was very good/trippy. Top notch editing.
This masterpiece is the definition of *abstract.*
I know the term poetry in motion is rather overused but by god does it fit with this. Well done, honestly.
Sent from Super Eyepatch Wolf. Work is amazing.
same
Even better than the last ones. Amazing. You keep improving more and more.
I still believe that one day the legend will return...
why you dont upload anymore? :'(
oh god, you never fail to amaze me, your videos are so pleasant to watch, they are so unique, thanks and gj
One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I saw the life.
That edit done with Rei at the end blew me away.
Where are you know ? Why no new videos since 4 years ?
What you are creating is true modern art.
I've never seen anything like this before in my life. I'm hooked.
