Longtime former player of Elite here. I haven't touched the game since late last year after spending about 7 years playing it. And I always come back to this video, because it captures the purest parts of the game for me. The things I loved most about it. Sadly it's never going to be like it was, but this video is always going to remind me of those early days when Elite was still something truly special to me. Great video. One of my all time favorites.
7 years on and I still think this is my favourite Elite: Dangerous video. I always think about it whenever anyone mentions OBAFGKM or KBGFOAM. I don't know if you ever expected it to be as long lasting, but it is amazing.
Masterfully edited as always, this was incandescently beautiful, I can only admire how the video and audio were in perfect harmony with one another, but nothing is more impressive than your unique creativity and vision that allows you to picture and create something this enthralling, the way it makes your mind go blank as it takes you into a distorted reality created by your imagination and inner workings of your mind instantly gives this video your distinguished style stample, the video might be 6 minutes long, but it stays with you long after its over and inevitably keeps you coming back. Thank you for the video.
At first I was like, "Wait, I know what 'Oh, Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me," means in E:D anyway... does Lolli actually play?!? Yep. Holy shit. Please stop making such awesome stuff, Lolli. My reality can't take it anymore.
+Digishade Oh Be a Fine Girl Kiss Me means OBAFGKM, the lettered classifications of all main sequence stars(Not white giants, Wolf Rayet, Carbon Stars, Proto Stars, etc.)
Awesome video as always. Loved that you slowed things down, it suits the theme of the game. Slowly making your way across wast expanses, planets, suns, rocks. That game is amazing and so is your video about it.
Man, that was sooooooo damn good. Listen, don't you ever stop making videos like that! That was mind blowing, what a mind trip! That has just gone to the number one position on my weekly watch list. 😄👍 Hell, its just replaced my all time Eve online video fav, "Beauty never fades". Great work.
The rhythmic parts are absolutely amazing as always! As for the slower parts, the shots surely are beautiful and flawlessly edited, they just don't amaze me that much. Might be the music. You surely must love that game ;)
Wie ne Lava Lampe mit Musik :D sau entspannend Sehr erfrischend mal wieder ein game edit von dir zu sehen Geil! (y) .....wenn ich auch den Insider nich raff xD
+Kerkelinker Oh Be A Fine Girl Kiss Me is the mnemonic some players use to help them remember which classes of stars are scoopable. Which are O,B,A,F,G,K&M. That help?
A truly fantastic creation; absolutely worthy for the great lolligerjoj :D I loved how you used the firing of the lazars to mimic the music around 2:12, that was probably the highpoint of the experience for me. I was also impressed by the use of fades to create a spasm effect around 1:00 - 1:01. How exactly did you do those?
Absolutely incredible stuff. Brilliantly vivid and inventive. Plus... who the hell were the 18 morons who disliked this??? What's to dislike? Sure; maybe it's not your thing, but a thumbs down? Really? Well, a hell of a lot more of us liked it than didn't. Keep up the good work.
HAHA, hör ich zum ersten Mal, aber gut, zu meiner Zeit gabs in der Schule nur ne Astro-AG für die unverbesserlichen Nerds (wie eben mich, alter Trekkie;-)
So beautiful! I watched in 50% speed and I was so impressed how you synced all the little sounds to the time-remapping (or echo effect duno), like 3:06 for example, even with headphones I find it hard to pinpoint all the subliminal sounds, did you place markers after dragging the cursor with ctrl? did you slow down the song to hear it bettr? or did you use an extra software besides after effects to find all those sounds to sync it so well? I'm very curious to know your method
Hey thanks! Yeah I really enjoy watching my videos at slow motion as well :P I also like to watch my preview renders from my videos to notice some sync opportunities that don't really show themselves obviously at full speed. For the subliminal sounds, I did indeed animate one Slider control property to the music at like 25% speed in AE. Because these parts repeat themselves, I only really did it for a few bars and then let them repeat. Some parts had some small variations that I had to take care of as well. Since the slider control effect doesn't show itself in the video, I link some very obvious movement to it, like a huge rotating bar made from a mask, to really make the nuances of the animation obvious while syncing. Only after that I link the property to those effects that are supposed to be modulated with this animation. Btw here's how it looks like in the keyframe editor: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/264525525744222210/324930238452727809/unknown.png
Oh thank you very much for the explanation, and very smart solution! Re-watching your videos in slow motion really let's you appreciate how perfect it's all synced, they're like audio visualizers. Hope to see more from you!
8 years later I finally found this video again. Why did you rename it? I was trying to find this particular video for HOURS! I remembered this was name something like "Oh be a fine girl, kiss me!".
Отличное видео. Играл в Элиту ещё на Спектруме. Полосочки, квадратики, ромбики, но так увлекало! А найти станцию, соориентировать свой корабль на вход, уравнять вращение и войти туда. А выиграть в схватке с пиратом? Незабываемые впечатления.
Now you oughta do another one with the SLF and alien ships. Razorface/Celldweller would be a halfway decent song to use, though... I have no idea how you'd frame it to match the song.

Great video. One of my all time favorites.
I Feel that.
It's criminal that this video only gets 94K watches as of 2024...

Grats on being featured on E:D update #90, beautiful work CMDR! Keep doing what you're doing, it's wonderful!
can someone tell me what anime they used??
I think it's Dora the explorer.
+lolligerjoj Cory In The House maybe?
+lolligerjoj Isn't it elite dangerous?
yes i know its a joke
+lolligerjoj They should SO use this as a trailer for the game. would also highlight your brilliance at video making (win win situation!)
+lolligerjoj i believe it is space dandy
This should be the official video for the flame by now
Masterfully edited as always, this was incandescently beautiful, I can only admire how the video and audio were in perfect harmony with one another, but nothing is more impressive than your unique creativity and vision that allows you to picture and create something this enthralling, the way it makes your mind go blank as it takes you into a distorted reality created by your imagination and inner workings of your mind instantly gives this video your distinguished style stample, the video might be 6 minutes long, but it stays with you long after its over and inevitably keeps you coming back.
Thank you for the video.
Oh man, for a split-second I was sad it's not another badass AMV, but this is just as good. You're too good at this lolligerjoj
+Doofcake yes thinking the exact same thing it was soooooo good
The best ED video I've seen to date. Utterly mezmerizing. Subbbed!
What an absolutely stunning video, beautiful!
Best ED video Ive seen yet. Well done CMDR
This is a work of art, your transitions are beautifully elegant, and the style is mind blowing. Excellent job sir.
At first I was like, "Wait, I know what 'Oh, Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me," means in E:D anyway... does Lolli actually play?!?
Yep. Holy shit. Please stop making such awesome stuff, Lolli. My reality can't take it anymore.
+Digishade hehe :). That sentence isn't only relevant in ED though. It's used throughout astronomical science and I learned about it in school.
+Digishade Oh Be a Fine Girl Kiss Me means OBAFGKM, the lettered classifications of all main sequence stars(Not white giants, Wolf Rayet, Carbon Stars, Proto Stars, etc.)
+lolligerjoj Now I won't have to look up which stars are scoopable ever again!
Ten years later and I still come back to watch these videos. I hope you're doing well.
THIS should've been the trailer for ED.
Agree 100%
Mirror's Edge had one of the finest OSTs in a very long time. Fantastic video.
This is absolutely amazing!!
Even better than ED official trailers .... 1000 times!!
Nice work!
This was amazingly aestethic. And the quality is not from this world. Still I miss Anime-edits :P
+Genetix ...Me ?
+Genetix Well, he uploaded an anime-edit three weeks ago. ^^
That transition at 3:20.... simply gorgeous.
Incredible vid man. You have an eye for the wonders of E:D!
And now I can't stop thinking about stellar classifications.
This shold be the real trailer of the game! awesome work, very well done CMDR
You are mentioned in this weeks newsletter.
Too me that is no surprise. Great video.
Awesome video as always. Loved that you slowed things down, it suits the theme of the game. Slowly making your way across wast expanses, planets, suns, rocks. That game is amazing and so is your video about it.
Holy crap. A cascade of excellent shots in musical sync. Right on Commander!
Have watched this a few times now and just wanted to say this is put together nicely.
Love the 60FPS smoothness too.
The editing was BEAUTIFUL in this video!
Simply beautiful, thank you for taking so much of your time to put together five minutes of bliss for us common people.
Holy fuck, that sync was on-point.
This is out of this world when you're high
Чувак, это охеренно! Уже раз 5 смотрел и, чувствую, это не предел ) Давай еще!)
edits so damn tight it's like you cut it with a diamond. another inspirational piece of work; congrats man
Man, that was sooooooo damn good. Listen, don't you ever stop making videos like that! That was mind blowing, what a mind trip! That has just gone to the number one position on my weekly watch list. 😄👍 Hell, its just replaced my all time Eve online video fav, "Beauty never fades". Great work.
The rhythmic parts are absolutely amazing as always! As for the slower parts, the shots surely are beautiful and flawlessly edited, they just don't amaze me that much. Might be the music.
You surely must love that game ;)
wtf man amazing editing! Really stunning. Thank you!
So very impressed by this amazing production, my hat is off to you.
Art.
In the first 30 seconds you reminded me of how much I love the mirrors edge soundtrack I love this video
A true editing and composition masterpiece as usual, good to see that you are in tip top shape!
Now that is game trailer!
FD take note.
Wow that was really amazing work, I remember your entry for the ED Film comp, sorry you didn't win that but you must have been close. Keep em coming.
From far the best E:D video I've seen. And I've seen a lot!
it saddens me to know that my brain is simpler than others, because i'm not amazed. But the sync is indeed quite good.
awesome video - loads of effort for a mega show - great work
This is incredibly awesome! Impressive montage! Very... Very nice done!
Excellent video... and congrats on being in the newsletter.
This is stunning.
But the game heavily reminds me of the 1999 classic, Homeworld.
Sync was just amazing, and the twixtor oooo the twixtor
Darn,this is def the best video i saw of elite.Verry verry nice job.and the music.They should implement it in the game..nice one...
Your editing skills are beyond my understanding...
Great job and subscribed for the next piece. ;)
superb editing and use of the cameras and music, brilliant vid!
wouldn't be able to praise this enough .. awesome
Absolutely stunning. Fantastic work.
Je mehr ich deine Videos gucke desto sicher werde ich mir, das ich nicht nur deinen Kontent sonder auch dich Persöhnlich mag :D
This is a great video. I saw it at NDK 2015 and loved it.
Looks like someone really likes E:D :D
Thanks for making downloads available!
love the title, great homage to space
Best video game video I've seen. Ever.
Breathtaking. Great work! :-)
Wie ne Lava Lampe mit Musik :D sau entspannend
Sehr erfrischend mal wieder ein game edit von dir zu sehen
Geil! (y) .....wenn ich auch den Insider nich raff xD
Awesome video, fine work, looks beautiful
Your editing skills are pretty sick man
Thank you. I haven't even played E:D (can't run it sadly!) but this was still really enjoyable.
Genauso wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe als ich den Track gehört habe. Spoiler is true! Geiles Video.
I wonder how many ppl got the reference the title is. ( [O]h [B]e [A] [F]ine [G]irl [K]iss [M]e)
+TheCookieOfDoom My... Friend doesn't get it still. Mind explaining to him? I suck @ that.
+Kerkelinker Oh Be A Fine Girl Kiss Me is the mnemonic some players use to help them remember which classes of stars are scoopable. Which are O,B,A,F,G,K&M. That help?
+Kevin Jack-Nunez Yep. And our sun is a yellow dwarf. A G2 class star, no?
It's also in the thumbnail, The spectrum thing lines up with the corresponding letters.
The mnemonic is not only from the game. The science community uses it to memorize the main sequence spectral classes. I learnt it in school.
Even though I don't enjoy the game much, this video is incredible.
This is what the E:D trailer should be, not that fake nonsense. Very well done sir.
Wonderfull, it's a perfect job ! BRAVO !
Oh wow. This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing work mate !
A truly fantastic creation; absolutely worthy for the great lolligerjoj :D
I loved how you used the firing of the lazars to mimic the music around 2:12, that was probably the highpoint of the experience for me.

omg this was amazing
Impressive work ! Gj bro
Holy shit, this is amazing.
Simply Beautiful
Absolutely incredible stuff. Brilliantly vivid and inventive.
Plus... who the hell were the 18 morons who disliked this??? What's to dislike? Sure; maybe it's not your thing, but a thumbs down? Really?
Well, a hell of a lot more of us liked it than didn't. Keep up the good work.
great video
Ohne Bier Arbeitet Fast Gar Keiner Mehr, thats what we learned at school :P
peace out
HAHA, hör ich zum ersten Mal, aber gut, zu meiner Zeit gabs in der Schule nur ne Astro-AG für die unverbesserlichen Nerds (wie eben mich, alter Trekkie;-)
wow so epic . nice work dude
Best ed video ever. Whoa!!!
the music had me on the mirrors edge
Really nice job mate!
Amazing work! :)

What a bad ass video! Thanks! :)
OMG
thumbs up , subscribed what an epic video!
8 years later I finally found this video again.
Why did you rename it? I was trying to find this particular video for HOURS!
I remembered this was name something like "Oh be a fine girl, kiss me!".
Great man ! Great WORK :D
That... was... amazing...!
Отличное видео. Играл в Элиту ещё на Спектруме. Полосочки, квадратики, ромбики, но так увлекало! А найти станцию, соориентировать свой корабль на вход, уравнять вращение и войти туда. А выиграть в схватке с пиратом? Незабываемые впечатления.
Absolutely excellent.
briliant work........
Dude, I'm flying!
Beautiful !
See you space cowboy...
Now you oughta do another one with the SLF and alien ships. Razorface/Celldweller would be a halfway decent song to use, though... I have no idea how you'd frame it to match the song.
fantastic clip!
omg schon wenn die musik startete jahdkajdjajsjdj hammer auch wenns kein amv ist
Beautiful...
I knew the music sounded familiar
Great video!
clap clap clap...
great vid!
