"Super Smash Bros. Melee's Camera Mode is such an awesome feature -- I would never've tried to make this kind of a video had it not been included in the game. This was inspired by the various trailers, commercials, previews and profiles shown in Japan, the E3 2001 Nintendo Preshow, and on the game disc. It's me having fun, basically. Green Day's "Bastket Case" made a fitting musical choice thanks to its lively personality, providing an alternate expression of the game's enjoyable personality.
My emphasis is on the characters & camerawork, not the actual editing. There's so much personality to the characters that I let them do the "talking", rather than my editing software. Players will know what I mean. The action is only loosely guided by the lyrics, for the sake of attachment and audience attention. I left the sound FX in to let you "bond" with the characters a bit. Yes, I directed all the footage using me and my 3 GameCube controllers only. Some parts were admittedly tough to capture. To top it off, 93% of the music video portion is composed of gameplay footage."
