I don't know why but I kinda love the long part focusing on Qrow, he's got a lot of damage and hurt in him that has never been addressed, and it only gets worse and worse. The line, "I don't love the bottle but the bottle loves me." Just like hits home.

[@ccappa2001]

My poor baby Qrow

[@alexandriagibbon4302]

For me, I love the qrow input because the voice sounds like vic.

[@lunartears6761]

I still tear up remembering the picture he carries of his whole team back when it WAS whole. Not just him and TaiYang seeing each other every now and then, but Summer was alive and Raven was different, and was her best person. The part of the photo that really gets me was that little subtle detail over Summer in the picture. There’s a water mark from a glass over where she is. There’s some drops that either be from tears or condensation.😢 And the scene after getting stung by Tyrian where he’s either delirious or sleep talking just hurt me. “Tai…She’s not coming back.”😭😭😭💔 Whether or not he felt romantic feelings towards Summer Rose, her death still crushed him. And from what we knew of him up to that point, both the picture and those words just hit me hard. Qrow really cared about Summer and his whole team. I just wished they actually explained more about his sister Raven. Up until the end of Vol.5, I actually believed Ozpin did something specifically to cause Raven to leave. I even thought when it turned out she was the spring maiden that that was why she left. And Ozpin did something directly/indirectly to give her the spring maiden powers and she resented him for it, knowing full well everything it entailed, risks and all. That’s probably not true now, but that would have fixed a BUNCH of issues with Raven’s story in the plot. I still liked her though.👍

This is why i look for the amv's with less views. They always have the great but unusual music that I love. The video is also great. Edit: well this aged

My favorite part is when it says "bound in madness" and there's Oscar going from an innocent farm boy to a scared, hopeless kid questioning his identity Wow that got dark

[@rmdur7567]

This is plain perfection. It's like 20 different AMV's in one. RWBY told in less than 7 minutes with amazing music and editing.

[@dianeinsertlastnamehere7296]

I love how you can see the colors grow more saturated with the swells in the music. I feel like that's what an AMV should be: a visualization of the music using the footage from a particular piece of media. And you nailed it. The whole montage at the end lining up with the beats of the song was awesome and, as I mentioned, you visualized the swells in the music perfectly. I think this is my favorite AMV of yours.

[@PrimordialPaper]

I already screamed about this on Tumblr, but I feel the need to reiterate, this is amazing!!! You do so well syncing with the lyrics, and paying attention to the beat of the song, your AMVs are always a joy to watch.

"The Killing Kind" I roam these halls, search the night, in hopes that I may see A remnant trace, a glimpse of you, I stare into the deep Singing I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know my love can be The deep stares back, speaks to me, I know my love can be The killing kind What if I was wrong by never moving on I didn't realize who's gone The ghost in me was true but You were haunted too Just didn't see it all along Never more to leave here Never more to leave here You should never be here I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know my love can be The killing kind Here and now If this is it Can't get out from under it Never more to leave here Never more to leave here My love is the killing kind There and then I should have known It was me, all along Never more to leave here Never more to leave here My love is the killing kind My love is the killing kind Never more to leave here Never more to leave here Try and try to let you go And I'll just disappear Go down below where children go And we all float down here Singing I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know my love can be It gazes back, sings to me I know my love can be The killing kind What if I was wrong by never moving on I didn't realize who's gone The ghost in me was true but You were haunted too Just didn't see it all along Never more to leave here Never more to leave here You should never be here I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know my love can be The killing kind Here and now If this is it Can't get out from under it Never more to leave here Never more to leave here My love is the killing kind There and then I should have known It was me, all along Never more to leave here Never more to leave here My love is the killing kind Oh, my love is the killing kind Never more to leave here Never more to leave here Yeah!... Stirs of whispers trailed and linger You still haunt the corner of my heart Stirs of whispers trailed and linger You still haunt the corners of my heart Sing it for me baby Singing me to sleep Singing don't love the bottle but the bottle loves me One for the memory Two for the pain Singing don't love the bottle with the deeper disdain Sing it for me baby Singing me to sleep Singing don't love the bottle but the bottle loves me One for the memory Two for the pain Singing don't love the bottle with the deeper disdain Sing it for me baby Singing me to sleep Singing don't love the bottle but the bottle loves me One for the memory Two for the pain Singing don't love the bottle with the deeper disdain Sing it for me baby Singing me to sleep Singing don't love the bottle but the bottle loves me One for the memory A hidden melody I think of you I dream of you Ever more Hey, do you hear me Do you hear me now On a midnight dreary Stay Stay near me Stay near me now Oh, yeah, do you hear me Don't you hear me, do you hear me now If madness over takes us both Then nobody would be alone The ghost of us can linger here Forever not to disappear Stay Stay near, oh stay We could be together here Forever we're together bound in madness I...oh Here now This is it Why don't we just savour it Just hush Eleonora Stay

This is such a beautiful tribute to the old RWBY and both tribute and celebration of the new. Not lying, this actually made me accept the newer tone, direction, and seasons fully, finally.

[@kenzingtonscarlet6639]

I've never finished an AMV and said Holy shit that was amazing, but today I just did. Not because this is Marianas Trench, but because this was genuinely an epic AMV, I didn't expect this. Wow

[@sailorr]

this is AMAZING! I really admire how much you're able to cram so many plotlines and events into one amv!! I also really liked your "end of an era" amv! also I was planning on making an amv with the same song / series (no hard feelings! if anything, it's really cool to compare, and learn from a more experienced editor!) and I especially love how our direction lines up! (the parts with the season 5 fight, and the parts with qrow / ruby / raven, and blake reuniting especially! we share the same brain) you're a fantastic editor!

[@ThusKindlySheScatters]

That sounds amazing! I would LOVE to see your take on the song -- usually I search up other preexisting RWBY AMVs for a song before I start working on them, so it's no surprise that we have some of the same ideas :3 Thank you so much for your kind words!!

[@alvinalcasas888]

Nice work timing the yells/screams of the lyrics to flares of Ruby's silver eyes

This is SO WELL DONE. I never thought I would see Mariana’s Trench and RWBY together and it’s PERFECT.

[@celevagria]

got served this video from watching some other marianas trench stuff and i'm so glad the algorithm pulled through, because this is INCREDIBLY well done. and just looking through your other recent uploads you've got some impeccable taste in music so i'm excited to look through and see what other cool stuff you're injecting into the FNDM

[@claramello6282]

This was recommended to me and.... damn. Never before I felt chills and the pacing with the song, it is so good. My dude/gal you have given me a good song to listen to and Amv to list it on. Keep up the good work.

Doing these long edit songs always looks like a journey to complete and I'm grateful to see so much and effort put into it

This is a goddamn masterpiece. It feels like a declaration of love for RWBY, and I wouldn't be surprised if it actually is one, because DAMN if this is good. I hope you have a wonderful day, week, year, life, whatever. I'm in love.

[@abot995]

This honestly the best! I really enjoyed watching this!! Please keep up the great work!

[@DeepEndDiving]

All of those clips with with Qrow and Raven really make me want to know the back story of STRQ. The music and clips highlight the pain and history there. Love your use of B&W. Beautiful synchronization of the clip with music, as always. The ones that especially hit the feels where the ones at the end with the hugs and relationships.

[@cityyliights_]

okay woah i had chills the whole damn time, this is... this is freaking amazing, good on you man i'm a big marianas trench fan so it's really cool seeing you edit a lot of their stuff, and i also love rwby a crap ton so seeing both merged together is really cool, so keep on keepin on with some kickass music and show choices man! and everything was timed and edited so well?? just in general your editing skills are amazing, like seriously, awesome job on this man!! and i love love LOVE how well thought out every single scene is?? it fits so well with the music and you can tell you put a lot of thought and energy into planning it out and that's seriously underrated. i've enjoyed all your past edits but this one just totally blew me off my feet. amazing job, dude. seriously! keep up the awesome work. you deserve so many more subscribers than you have, and i seriously hope you earn them some day. your edits are so well made and so impactful and it's seriously phenomenal. i'd definitely go as far to say you're one of my favourite editors! you're frickin amazing. good on you.

[@joemorgan2390]

Woah, this is amazing. I'm serious when I say this might go directly into my Top 5 RWBY AMVs. I'd put it right next to "Glitter & Gold" as AMVs so good I could use them as (very spoilerific) trailers to get people into the show.

Perfect !

[@sweetnightmare001]

God, I keep forgetting and then getting slapped in the face with how much I love this show

[@sweetnightmare001]

I hope Rooster Teeth has been doing Monty Oum proud with what they've done with the show. Personally I think it's so amazing, but I have no idea if this is what Monty wanted, and never will know if it is or not...

[@Burscutum]

I dont watch RWBY anymore, I've become rather disillusioned by both Rooster Teeth and all their brands, but for a good 9 or 10 years, as dramatic as it sounds, I lived for their content. The reason I decided to watch this wonderful AMV is because Marianas Trench is my favorite band, and The Killing Kind is one of my favorite songs of theirs. I'm so glad I watched this, dispite my not being invested in the show any more, it reminded me of all the good times, as well as being a well executed amv. Thank you so much for this! You did wonderful, and for such a long song, too!

[@NaviNeku24]

I literally cannot stop watching from 4:59 until the end!!! Especially the montage of all the episodes!! I LOVE IT!!!! Also, curious question: What editing software do you use? I made a couple of AMVs using HitFilm Express, which is a great free option, but the audio can't seem to line up when I make longer videos (ex. 6-7 minutes long) for some odd reason. Besides, I've been wanting to upgrade anyways. ^_^

[@ThusKindlySheScatters]

While I wasn’t using it when I made this video, I currently use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit and Adobe After Effects to color correct! However, if you’re just starting out, those can be a little overwhelming, so I’d recommend learning on something like iMovie or WeVideo.

[@ZAGON117]

damn fine

[@ThusKindlySheScatters]

I know what issue you’re talking about! Usually if I click ahead a couple seconds, the song resumes. It minorly affects the pacing of the song in the viewers mind, but it’s one way to get rid of the issue. Sorry to hear you’re experiencing difficulties!
