This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber Heironeous77. This individual takes the song “Blaze of Glory”, performed by Bon Jovi, and edits in scenes from the movie Serenity. The views on this video are low, but don’t let that stop you from view it. It is put together nicely, with attention given to the lyrics of the song and what images are used from the movie. The editing between scenes is smooth in the transitions with no jerkiness at all. If you have not seen Firefly the series or Serenity I recommend that you check it out, it’s a fun series, but be sure you start with the series and then watch the movie. Heironeous77 you did a great job and I hope this will get you some additional views on a well made AMV. You can look up this AMV on YouTube under “Serenity: Blaze of Glory” and check it out below.
