If this were a full movie, i'm sure out of all the action and fighting scenes, this would be the one with long pauses, and honestly, it doesnt bother me, this is epic

[@BlackSunEnt]

Thank you! Actually if this where a full length film a lot of things would be very different from a direction stand point. This is literally just a proof of concept... it was made purely as a visual presentation to show our vision and art direction style

If this was a full length film in cinemas i'd go to see it, if it was a video game for today's consoles i'd buy it! I'd sincerely hope and pray the creator's make this happen one day.

Thanks for the encouragement. We have talking to investors and financiers around the globe trying to make this happen! Spread the word! -D

[@MGSBigBoss77]

blacksunent1 How did you guys animate this may i ask? On; "Blender" or on some other software. And was it edited on Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro or Sony Vegas etc? Kinda reminds me of the other guy on KZbin who put out his; "Superman Vs Hulk" vids i.e., beautifully animated but it took time. How long and on what system and what editing tools is what i'm truly curious about!

[@BlackSunEnt]

Animated in Maya. Edited in Premier Pro.

[@MGSBigBoss77]

blacksunent1 Sick! Thanks, for this heads up. I don't know how much it costs to make (don't worry won't ask) but hope you guys and gals make another feature. Perhaps a more revealing one. As this is crying out for more story and action. Anyways wish you all the best in your endeavors in the future with more "Azureus Rising" projects or what-have-you's. Laters, and thanks again!

14 years later, we came back and watched it again with my 18-year-old daughter and were amazed again. The reason for our revisit was yesterday, in the last episode of the Arcane TV series on Netflix, where there was a scene with the hero wearing a mask. The same breathing and mask-like situation evoked an association. I hope. The producer of the production is good. I wish you healthy and beautiful days. In my opinion, this is very valuable to the owner of this masterpiece. If he has a social media account, I would especially like to follow him.

[@UnknownSquid]

Why do things always have the gun toting minions just walk up point blank and stand around aiming their guns but doing nothing, even after their extremely dangerous opponent starts casually tossing around *extremely suspicious* gadgets? If a single guy there had the brains to just shoot whilst the hero posed pointlessly, rather than stand around waiting to die, then ol'cyber ninja there would have a hole in his head. I don't mind over the top super ninja style heros, but the fights are far far cooler when both sides are actually fighting, rather than just suicidally posturing. : /

Alonso de Hojeda Its beautiful and stylish! Can't we all just look at something from the positive side for once?

[@matreyia]

Find us some new tales to tell then. Find something that hasn't been told or done before...then come back to complain. This clearly was not for you. And it does not pretend to be anything new. It is obvious that it focuses on action, mech, and super strength and agility... It was done in a very entertaining manner in my opinion.

[@codyfukthisshit2977]

***** You aren't even original in your trolling, you just copied him saying your logic was fuzzy and restarted immediately after he said it. And anyway the man is right, there is no originality in this video, it looks neat but honestly there wasn't any actual plot or anything that actually made this video stand out at all. Also "Can't you be an independent and still work in a partnership with big Corp?" No. Dumbass. That is the opposite of independent. If you are working with a big Corp then you are clearly not independent as you are working in cooperation with a corporation.

[@bryceknorp3336]

RENATO CONTRERAS You realize that this came out years before Metal Gear revengeance right? So..

[@DevoidFX]

Okay, so this feels so strange to me right now. Last night I was coming up with a story for a comic I wish to create in the future and the very first scenes I visualized in my head where strangely similar to what happened here. Some fast and powerful person that runs and jumps from building to building tries to get away from the police and when the big ass drone/robot shows up, he destroys it. For anyone that wants to read the continuation of my story, read my full comment. So, she destroys that drone and gets away. After this, the police department captain that was in charge of catching the fugitive girl, start rambling about their duty and why they are doing this and that. Basically he sets a backstory for the main story that is going to unfold. At one moment, they (the police) get notified that the target was found, to their surprise. They were not hoping to find her again so soon. She's standing still on some kind of bridge or a building, checking out the surroundings. But she's not the same from before. Another soul took control over her body, the soul that provided her the powers necessary to escape the police. This 2nd soul was generated by a 2nd neuronal system that she had it from birth but it only developed in the last few years because she used her powers. Anyway, being another person, like a new born, she unleashes her full strength when the police tries to apprehend her. This is because she acts on instinct for now and she will start to develop a personality over time with the help of the original soul. Essentially, this story will be a sci-fi drama action with small drops of comedy and thrilling moments. If you read until here, I would love to hear your feedback and maybe some ideas you might have. Thanks!

[@DevoidFX]

da real rulezbreaker Well, I'm not, for the moment. I always loved to create stuff from scratch, so I draw and make music at the moment. I used to do 3D and write poems too, but 3D took to much time and poems I just lost interest. Oh, I also edited AMVs during highschool, but I realised I can't transition into something with which I can make money in the future, so... Yeah, I went all over the place and I am slowly trying to channel my time and energy into something I like and something that may become a career. Sorry for the wall of text, I just wanted to brag a bit :3

[@ikiostar]

Running movement and the style of the piece looks cool, but the storyboarding is terrible. All those awkward stops where you're trying to make the character seem dramatic. And the fight scene at the beginning where the character's movement didn't looks quite right; that first side-to-side movement after the character darts forward and the picture cuts to black. And about midway, it's pretty clear that you had to brighten up the character so to be able to see them...you practically turned the character white (2:34 for reference).
