Saint Young Men Russ-K Commercial – MAD

Ichiro — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 07:00:49 +0000

Vacationing holy men manga “Saint Young Men” features Jesus, Buddha and friends in their own divinely intervened MAD based from a typical boy-band-fashioned commercial of Russ-K. The popular male-group “NEWS” (North East West South) is the original performer of the said CM. Exhibiting their killer moves in the short video, MAD artists could not resist not making their own versions and enlighten us with our favorite characters.

With Jesus having those kind of moves and eccentric charisma, it seems no wonder why school girls find an uncanny resemblance of him to Johnny Depp…

And of course, the Touhou girls would now want to get left out…

MikuMikuDance Hakurei Reimu [GO MY WAY] – First Test

Ichiro — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 04:42:21 +0000

My first test of MikuMikuDance with Hakurei Reimu model and static JPEG Background. No dynamic camera angles, no lighting effects, just plain model and motion test for future productions. The background of the video is only a picture I took from my desk, I just estimated the angle for the 3d video.

It seems that it’s not that hard to use MikuMikuDance, the only problem is that it takes a lot of time to do a single pose for every second. But thanks to tweening, most of the frames have calculated measurements of the position of the pose. So for example you raise the arm up from frame 1, and you raise down the arm in frame 10, what would happen is that the program would calculate a movement between frame 1 to 10 so that you would not manually set every pose on every frame.

One of my first few issues with this is that there are no other codecs and compressors installed for saving the Video, when I first saved the AVI file, the two minutes of the video is worth 768 megabytes! So I had to compress it first before uploading to Youtube since my upload speed is slow. Before that, I had to mux the mp3 file with Virtual Dub so that it would have music.

But anyway, just watch the test video below and enjoy…

Don’t Say Lazy Daler Mehndi Remix

Ichiro — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 07:00:29 +0000

K-On’s evidently successful ending song “Don’t say Lazy” has been remixed with popular internet meme Bollywood star Daler Mehndi with his hit “Tunak Tunak Tun” to this well made entertaining MAD titled “Don’t Say Indy”.

The MAD shows excellent video and sound editing skills. The sound samples fitted the background music very well and seems to sound like an original.

There are much more Daler Mehndi antics, more will be posted soon.

Hatsune Miku MAD by CLAMP

Ichiro — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 12:51:03 +0000

CLAMP, noted for one of the best manga series such as Chobits and of course Card Captor Sakura, illustrates Hatsune Miku in this splendid PV with the song Mugen no Yami (Infinite Darkness) as the BGM.

The video seems to be a reminder of the art style and character designs of the famed group. The show indeed features Hatsune Miku in striking Gothic diva fashion.

The MAD may only consist of still images, but there is no doubt that it is indeed a marvelous work.
