I spent all night making this thing. Please enjoy it, won't you?
One of my chief complaints about the smattering of ROBOTECH-related anime music videos on the YouTube is that they don't do anything ... err ... Robotechy. No mish-mashing of generations. Rarely any Southern Cross. Nobody splicing together New Gen and Shadow Chronicles. Oh, there's a few nice, solid ones out there, but nothing that couldn't just have the Macross or Mospeada label slapped on 'em.
So I decided to take matters into my own hands and do something about it. Took me all night -- ah, the joys of no sleep -- but here it is. Let me know what you think.
Very well done! I definitely liked the inclusion of Southern Cross footage as well as the overall cohesive feel of the video, and as treiz said, great choice of music.
BTW, I’m glad to hear the contest is being extended. With grad school and work, I won’t be able to start on anything till after finals.
Probably the best Robotech video I've seen in a long time. I previously gave up on Robotech videos on Youtube because they were all the same. Yours is different...in a good way. Great work!
Oh, I almost forgot. Discount anime is having a sale on Funimation DVDs, and Shadow Chronicles Special Edition is 45% off! Go to the link below. It's on the bottom of the page.
YouTube seems to have ditched the video. Is it possible to just get a direct-download link? I'd rather have a full-quality version than an arsed-up YouTube version.
JONATHAN L. SWITZER has written an awful lot about the 1985 animated series ROBOTECH, its sequels and spin-offs. Some of this writing has appeared in THE ART OF ROBOTECH: THE SHADOW CHRONICLES (Stone Bridge Press); other examples appear in the Appendices to the most recent editions of the ROBOTECH MASTERS and NEW GENERATION novels (Del Rey). He draws girls and cartoon dogs at WWW.SCWONKEY.COM, and spends his days selling electronical goods at RadioShack and sleeping a lot less than he used to.

Nice job on this. You hit some nice beats with the visuals to the music here, and your editing gave it all a nice energy to the piece.
