Oh, you've read my mind... the idea for an Anck-su-Namun/Imhotep mvid has been floatin' about for a while (mainly a complete do-over of the mvid for Mummy Returns).

Downloading now!

Speaking of Mummy Returns, do you happen to have that mvid -- Live's "Forever May Not Be Long Enough"? I've rented the dvd, hoping to rip it, but my ripper won't allow it (grr....). Any help would totally be loved.... Will review your vid when it finishes downloading! ^_^ So can't wait to see it!

I really enjoyed this vid! It's well-edited and you used the dynamics in the music beautifully. I also liked how clear the narrative structure was - you got a really good feel for the movie from this vid. Well done!

No matter how I watch Anck-su-Namun and Imhotep's first scene together, be it vid or movie form, I get chills. It's such a doomed love... so very sad and tragic. Sure, Imhotep has to kill a few guys here and there. Big deal, sez I. ;)

I know nothing of Pinnacle (I use Adobe After Effects and Windows Movie Maker) but, were it possible, I do suggest stretching or cropping the clip so the subtitles do not appear. Even though I've viewed the opening scene many times, the eyes are still drawn to subtitles or anything similar which pops up. This isn't such a good thing with the rate you were cutting; in the time it took the person's eyes to go to the subtitle, it was gone, so the eyes go next to view the entire clip, then another subtitle which is gone in a split second, then back to the clip... see what I'm saying? Just a good tip for ya.

I think after the initial opening scene, you lose focus of the song and seem more keen upon a summar of the movie. The scenes of Rick's escape, Evie's discovery, their first kiss (great matching to 'Breathe into me', I must admit!), Evie and Rick's dock conversation... all flies by so quickly that, had I not viewed this movie obsessively many times with all three commentaries a couple of times, I'd be lost. Great use of cutting around the scenes (clips...scenes... *digs up a thesaurus*) yet the cuts go by very, very quickly.

BENI!!! ...Sorry. Can't helpt but squee whenever I see that lil weasel. (I think he's cute... er, right, back to vid review... *ahem*)

Wonderful concept, mein freund, the use of this song to the pairing... I think using footage from 'The Mummy Returns' would have helped it immensely as would using clips only of Imhotep and Anck-su-Namun. Savvy?
