The first one was. . . interesting. My brain basically shut off and went into "OOOH COLORS AND RANDOM NOISES" 2 month old baby mode while watching it. That's a good thing!
The second one was nice. A good way of doing a S1 retrospective piece. It was kinda sad at the end, watching all of the cutie marks go away, because all the ponies went from ecstatic to depressed / angry though =(
Wow. I know it was meant as a happy zany thing, but that second video actually hit me. At first I got misty-eyed when Twilight started "unmeeting" all her friends, but then the video went on to show them losing their cutie marks too. When the smile on Pinkie's face faded away as the Sonic Rainboom retreated, leaving only grey clouds, I actually shed a manly tear.
Maybe it's in part because of what I read in the most recent update to "Past Sins". It sensitized me to this sort of thing. :)
Though I did like it, the second vid, kind of made me think that Whooves had failed in foiling some kind of plot and Equestria's history and the mane six's lives were being reversed...not fun.
Maybe its because I've heard (And loved) the song in the second video before, but everypony is taking that second video WAYYYY too negatively. (Putting aside the actual purpose of the video) If you consider it, you can see that video as rewinding through the show to just before the Sonic Rainboom, and so we see the mane six just about to embark on all the adventures we know they have (but they don't yet). BE HAPPY, PONIES. (This is either really deep, or really incomprehensible)
A nice job done on the second one, definitely brings out some emotion and I think that was obviously the intention of the creator. Lol, that song brings me back a bit too, I remember the first time I heard it was in an episode of the 90s Outer Limits TV series.
Yeah, I intended for my pmv to be emotional yet happy. It wasn't easy making it from an emotional aspect. I'll admit I had to stop and take a deep breath and fight back a few tears while I made this. Thanks for the comments! ;)
If you want the second video to be more epic just mute it and start playing "Inside the Winter Storm" by Dragonforce (I'm sorry if you hate them) at 8 seconds in. Synchs up surprisingly well.
GREAT idea. Thats such an beautiful song. If I had even the slightest knowledge of how to make these videos I would give it a shot. Hopefully somebody does go about doing that.
#2 I was thinking 'The Scientist' by Coldplay while watching this aswell. This video blocks rather well to that track as the actions eerily fit to the rhythm and lyrics. Start the music 39s into the video. Fade as track ends with Twilight reading.
I think I looked at this a bit much. Using this Coldplay link [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdBym7kv2IM ] it should line up with the 'Return to Ponyville' video if started ~40s into the latter [or add an additional 8 intro bars starting at ~14s]. You'll know it if you got it, because movement and actions tend to be in synch with the piano background. It really is bizarre that this song fits so well without further video-editing.

yay videos
ReplyDeleteThe first one reminds me of the gibberish noises they used to put in RPGs back in the day to fake voice acting.
ReplyDeleteThe second one makes sad, it's like none of it ever happened.
ReplyDeleteForst: Eh? What... the... ok. funny.
ReplyDeleteBoth great videos, been a good while since I'd heard any Enigma...good stuff.
ReplyDeleteDang, I was hoping for backmasking.
ReplyDeleteThe second vid doesn't make me sad, it just makes me more resolved to enjoy the series more each time. No room or time to frown!
ReplyDeleteFirst one was surprisingly funny!
Second one is cute.
ReplyDeleteFirst one... strangely compulsive....
2nd video didn't make me feel bad. In fact, it makes me feel somewhat "accomplished"
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of music!
I lost it when Applejack stuck cucumber slices on her eyes with her tongue.
ReplyDelete1st one had loads of vomiting things or eating strange things (loved the Rarity moment with the punch).
ReplyDelete2nd one made me emotional, rewatching key moments of the show in backwards order made me remember why I love this series so much <3
Two great PMVs
I liked both of em.

Sholdn't the first one betitled MIF:PLM?

ReplyDeleteThese videos made me feel kinda weird.
ReplyDeleteThe first one was pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteThe second one made me remember why I love this show so much, and Im glad that I decided to start watching it.

ReplyDeletein the 1st video, Pinkie RESTORED food!
ReplyDelete#1 should be called ''Ponies of Persia''.

ReplyDeleteRedact my previous statement, the both should be called ''Ponies of Persia''.
ReplyDeleteOh man, Pinkie Pie's slowly fading smile broke me.
ReplyDelete@Rekiara
ReplyDeleteit was simply because they realized you had almost watched the entire video and you realized that you had both this vid and season 1 watched
aah-yo-aa-oo-aaa-yah-dah-ooaah-ohhaooaeiii-ooaooay

ReplyDeleteI watched the second one first. Like a boss. B)
ReplyDeleteBackwards FOREVVAR is fantastic! As is backwards Spike belching tickets. And of course, the cupcake jokes.... =/
ReplyDeleteI like the part where Pinkie vomits an entire cake.
ReplyDeleteSounded like Sim-Speak to me XD
ReplyDeleteThese ar eactually pretty nice :P
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Backwards emotions really screw with me o.o

ReplyDeleteOh, and here's a linky-thingy.

And now i'll sit here waiting for a "The Scientist" PMV, would love to see what backwards clips are fitting for the song and video.
ReplyDeleteNo Sonic Rainboom backwards?
ReplyDelete@Vintage VCR
ReplyDeleteGREAT idea. Thats such an beautiful song. If I had even the slightest knowledge of how to make these videos I would give it a shot. Hopefully somebody does go about doing that.
Rarity: No wings? I should do something about that. *ash formation* better.
