Fun Friday AMVs: 'Bustin
by God Len, 04/04/2009



Bustin makes me feel good, and it should make you feel good as well; because this is one of the best Advent Children AMVs out there. This Ghostbusters parody took DriftRoot 200 hours of video editing and post work to create, which would be like watching all of Bleach, twice! I’ll let DriftRoot explain to you why he made this AMV using scenes from the overused CG film Advent Children.

So how did I come up with 'Bustin? Well, all I've ever wanted to do with Advent Children is turn it upside down, give it a good shake and see what falls out. Not many people do this, not many people even think it's worth doing, but I am determined to prove that, while AC has a very bad reputation for inspiring cookie-cutter AMVs, it doesn’t have to be that way. AC is NOT an AMV wasteland. Yes, its action/drama angle has been exhaustively covered in a rather narrow way, but its potential in other genres is rarely exploited. What this means is that there is still a lot of mileage to be gotten out of the footage if we can just get past how seriously it takes itself. In fact, as I hope 'Bustin illustrates, this very seriousness makes a fantastic springboard for all kinds of humorous scenarios, because it’s quite outrageous to manhandle such material in the first place.

You can download a high-quailty version here. Take a look at this weeks “Super I’m Going to Cry Damn it Video”.
