AMV of the Week, It’s Shiny

This week’s AMV comes from YouTuber Heironeous77.  Heironeous takes scenes from Serenity and edits them around the song “Blaze of Glory” performed by Bon Jovi.  I believe everyone that is a science fiction fan knows about Firefly and it’s follow-up movie Serenity.  If you haven’t seen either go to your library’s and asked to check the series and movie out.  Just be sure to watch the series before you watch the movie.  If your library doesn’t have them ask them to get it for you through their Interlibrary Loan Program.  “Blaze of Glory” fits this series to a “T”.  The cuts between scenes is nicely done and lyrics to from the song emulate the scenes well.  It’s a shame that this AMV hasn’t been seen by more people.  Hopefully this will change with this posting.  Head to YouTube and search under “Serenity: Blaze of Glory” or check it out below:

AMV of the Week

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.
