A Maple anime music video created with high regards to synchronizing footage to the song lyrics and beat, a task that's not that simple considering the amount, contents, and duration of existing clips. Each scene was carefully planned, like so, in order to complement the song's intensity. Without further ado, I hope this video will prove to be exciting and entertaining as much as it was for me to make it.

I still watch this from time to time. So amazing, it never gets old.
If this were to be a commercial,
New Players: " Omg, this looks amazing. "
When they play it for the first time
" Wat is dis poop' "
I Love Listening To This <3 <3 <3
This is so amazing! everything is in rhythm <3
[quote=Repentant]This is probably the most unique MMV--or dare I say, most unique video I've come across yet. Perhaps I'm reading into this a bit too much, but your ability to artfully manipulate the relationship between image and music just left me speechless with so many other emotions I can't even come to fully articulate at this moment; a crazy mixture of excitement, heroism, adventure and astonishment. I found that to be the most mind blowing part of the video; how you've weaved picture and sound to make for an evocative, emotional rollercoaster. Thank you for providing me with such a moving experience!
So much more I want to say, but one of the things that stood out most for me is your impeccable attention to detail. I love how the clips seamlessly flow together, as well as how it ties in beautifully with the lyrics of the song. It's that level of quality and depth which brings me back to watch this video over and over again, and each time I find myself discovering something new about you how you've thoughtfully and subtly linked the clips and music.
Great video, and please make more![/quote]
Nah, you're spot on - I tried to coordinate the scenes with the music ( the beat / instruments) and song lyrics as much as possible while adding little details (such as the Black Mage using Apocalypse when the song goes "This is it, the apocalypse" ). I'm glad to hear that you were able to enjoy this video and notice all these things!
[quote=calebheads]@Ryukara The PvP tribute video and now this... awesome work once again, Steph! May I ask how long it took you to create this?[/quote]
I started the video on August 8th and finished on the 25th, but I did not work on it every single day. On days that I actually did stuff, I usually worked on it between 4-10 hours. I would say between 70-100 total hours.

Song doesn't fit the game, auto-bad.
Little busy and hard to follow, but that's more the animation than anything, and I can't fault the effort put into timing this.
If I could give a standing ovation in a little chat box I would do so. Good show, sir!
This is so much better than the actual music video (Which is just... Creepy..). <3 Looking to replace it!
This is amazing o-o
Kudos to you.
Really well done. I chuckled at the black mage "breathe in" part lol.

Stop it Shane.
On topic: Great job on the video Steph!

This needs more likes <3 <3 <3
I seriously watch this at least twice a day
Once again, great video
Yus, you got the cannoneer. (Y).
OT: GREAT JOB DUDE. like seriously. that's amazing.
MAN thnx for remember me why I created most of the class I play now their history line and scene are perfect and awesome really amazing song and amazing video I love it <3 *-* one of my favorites Maplestory videos ever
Great video, would make a great introduction to first time players!
I can't believe how good this was.
I really wish nexon made videos like this.
I can't get enough .-.
Wow! That was amazing! I have a feeling that with your editing skill, you're gonna go far, kid.
@lazershock: That's why I used asterisks. Maybe I should make it more obvious next time.
This was amazing man! Great job! Go to film school for editing!
Someone liked all the comments. Again.
This is amazing. Great work. And for some reason... This video made me feel like MapleStory would be a great VRMMORPG on the Nerve Gear.....
This is f***ing amazing! I love it <3
Simply Epic... o.o
Awesome editing and I think the music actually fits it well despite what others say.
Fantastic! Simply sublime! I would love to see this done to Our Last Night's cover of Radioactive.
Wow really, really nice editing job! <3
I've seriously watched this video over 50 times I LOVE it! <3 <3
[quote=KrazyLoopyx]Poor phantom.
Can't wait 'til they "resurrect" Freud![/quote]
Freud isn't actually "dead" in the sense of the word, his soul simply trapped in the mirrors world, so his body was just a soulless husk =P
Poor phantom.
Can't wait 'til they "resurrect" Freud!
Great job. Amazing Editing keep up the work! <3
nicely edited, keep up the good work
Video doesn't work for me ._.
Simply amazing. Probably the single most epic Maple video there is. Honestly, if they made an anime out of Maplestory following the actual storyline and whatnot (I refuse to acknowledge that.. that.. [i]thing[/i].. as an anime) then I would definitely watch it. Good job!
This is so amazing omg
You could totally show this to someone who needs a reason to get back into maple.
You should definitely pitch this to Nexon as an idea for an ad. They could really learn a thing or two.
Makes me want to log into maple right now and just fight dozens of enemies,but I realized once I log in,the game is no where near as epic as this video. You sir have talent and I thank your for posting this.
Dude this was amazing!
Even though I barely log on Maple anymore, this was amazing. <3.
Amazing! One of the best AMV's I've seen
Assassin's Creed 3
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <
I absolutely love this and im going to show my friends who play MS and dont play because its so awesome
this is amazing
omg... FANTASTIC ! Great job!
This is way better than the official ones. But maybe you should change the music? Doesn't really fit with all the battle scenes.
So epic
Black Mage is refreshed.
