Over the years, we here at DZX Productions have made a myriad of music videos. While we strive for top quality in all of our creations, every now and then a video is made that rises to the top. To make it easier for you, our viewers, to find the finest examples of our work, we have comprised this list of what we feel are some of our greatest works in video editing.







 

  

Though this page only lists videos that we have made, you can find our personal picks for what we feel are some of the best Music Videos in the AMV community in our profiles at Animemusicvideos.org. Links to our profiles can be found in the Members section. (might be out of date)

 

Advent Revolutions
by Sephiroth X

Everything that has a beginning has an end and the fated final continuation of the Matrix series and FF7:AC came together to birth Advent Revolutions.

Aided by Waffle King and Adobe After Effects to create further similar ties between the movie realms, X achieved the Promised Land title "Best in Show" at Anime Detour 2007. The "Sci-Fi Glomp Provoking Awesomeness" proved that he, without a doubt, used his previous experience with AMV trailers and delivered on all drooling expectations.

Complete Authority
by Altruistic Crono

Altruistic Crono has a unique talent for creating some of the most revolutionary and spectacular videos here at DZX, and Complete Authority does not deviate from this standard. This AMV is a good representation of what DZX videos are all about, as AC once again utilizes (the somewhat overused) Linkin Park to give it that classic DZX flavor.

The editing skill shown in this video, however, is far more than you will find in your average LP AMV though, as it utilizes almost every trick from our book in excellent coordination with the song to create an eye popping, action AMV that you wont soon forget. Excellent work, AC.

Death Is No Option
by Altruistic Crono

A group of steadfast warriors, from a great many Chrono- and Final Fantasy-series, have been informed that, among them, one of them shall die. Right off the bat, this haunting uncertainty hangs over the scenes of various battles, each hero not knowing which of them will fall at any moment, until the inevitable blood is shed...

This grim tale is atmospheric, yet full of battles and determination. It is well-timed, well-balanced, and is a video that never seems to lose anything with age. It has stood the test of time, and will continue to do so for years to come.

I Ain't Marryin' No Friggin' Horse!!!
by ZaCloud

ZaCloud has added a masterpiece (and possibly her best video yet) to our AMV library with "IAMNFH", while simultaneously branching out into a new genre for DZX.

Her goal for this video was to create a true "dance music video" like the kind you'd see on MTV, where the backup dancers dance along with the lead singer. The execution of her idea was clean and flawless, and her editing skills were at their best, even featuring lip sync to go along with the dancing. It even takes some unexpected (and humorous) turns near the end of the video.

Though rarely attempted at all in the AMV community at large, ZaCloud shows us all what a great Dance video is made out of, and we are proud to feature it here on our site. Congratulations on your recognition for this video at Judge Holden's Indie AMV Panel at Anime Detour 2009!

Never Turn Away
by Altruistic Crono

Well let me put it this way... Altruistic Crono did what I (Sephiroth X) couldn't do in my 5 Final Fantasy 7 videos, create something totally spectacular and fully jaw dropping. Originally, this video was offered to AC as a challenge issued by none other then myself. I guess a little outside motivation really can do some good.

Altruistic Crono uses the game's footage brilliantly and even uses clips not normally seen in many other FF7 videos to date including a very significant video captured cut-scene. Take all of that and mix in AC's unique gift with AMVs, and he created a great piece of work from a footage and audio source that in today's days of AMVs has been beaten to death proving that its never too late to create something truly unique.

The One
by Sephiroth X

After discovering the capabilities of Premiere, Sephiroth X set out to take another shot at one of his favorite movies of all time, The Matrix. While No More Lies was an admirable video attempt, he didn't feel it did the movie proper justice, so this time he set out to do something extraordinary and deserving of its title, The One.

Using the Dragula remix (appearing in the movie soundtrack and several of X's video intros) proved to be a perfect match, and X was able to create a masterpiece, featuring some of the best special effects, timing, and source footage ever to be seen in a Matrix video. The only way to describe this video is "the fanatics ultimate vision of the perfect Matrix video".

We rank this as one our best vids here at DZX, and we definitely consider it a "must-download".

The Mugenjou
by ZaCloud

While it wasn't DZX's first attempt at a trailer, it certainly was the best.

ZaCloud paid close attention to detail when editing this video, carefully going through the trailer and footage frame-by-frame, to achieve what was a fantastic result. The scene match-ups were almost eerie, and the timing was spot-on. Add to that, some clever and effective plays on the DZX and studio logos, and you have a video that definitely deserves more than a second view.

Record 1- The Legend Of Broli
by SqiKy kLeen

We all knew that SqiKy kLeen had become an avid Bemani fan, and to a point it almost hindered his progress as a DZX Productions member until the day he managed to merge the entities of Bemani music and DZX together to create Record 1.

Utilizing footage from the DragonBall Z movie Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan, possibly the most brutal of the DBZ movies, and the audio of The Legend of Max, one of the most intense and difficult DDR songs, SqiKy kLeen created one of the shortest yet sweetest videos to hit DZX Productions yet. Record 1 does the heralded Broly DBZ movie justice and paves the way for DZX Productions' future in regards to the craze that is Konami's Bemani series.

The Road
by SqiKy kLeen

Even from his early one minute beta, I knew this AMV would become SK's most challenging AMV produced in his career. Going far beyond anything that I've accomplished with lip syncing and Photoshop enhanced visuals, he pulled the creative worlds of Beck: Mongolian Chopsquad, Tenacious D's Tribute, and a little Death Note into a frame-by-frame spectacle as if he never stopped making AMVs.

The level of detail and thought for each scene still astonishes me. The motions, gestures, and lyric matching
Gag-Me's all work together in this award-winning release. His tangible vision of a guitar-rocking demon clearly makes it stand apart from the rest.

Perhaps it is the Greatest Tribute to the Greatest Song in the World. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Wish Again
by Altruistic Crono

One of the most valuable experiences of my brief AMV career was to see this work of art flicker across the screen in many of its evolutionary forms, blossoming before my very eyes.

I'm a fan of traditional story structure, and this was always a mild sticking point for me on this video. After repeated viewings, I've come to understand that there is a story here, subconscious and subtle, speaking to the audience on an almost instinctual or metaphysical level.

This is very much an Altruistic Crono video. Like the man himself, there is always something deeper, always another layer. It attacks unsuspecting viewers on a subconscious level, tricking and fooling our senses and defying expectations.

A torrent of half-remembered images, glimpses of the characters' (and to some extent, our own) pasts dancing in the corners of our eyes - pure emotion, pure force and conflict. “Wish Again” is a lucid dream of an uncertain journey, an undertow of images that begs the viewer to be pulled in, pulled under and along for the ride.

In many ways, this is AC's finest video. There is an artistry here which can be neither duplicated nor denied, regardless of your preconceived notions of AMV construction.

Well done, my friend, from the toughest of critics.
