Project[Cinema]
Induction by HTW
Movies that inspire us..... That was the phrase that started this crazy Journey through 10 videos spanning over 6 years covering all topics and subjects of the art form known as Cinema. Project Cinema was a series that meant a lot too a lot of people on the board, for me personally it was my introduction and got me into the art form of MMV editing. Before signing up to do a part for "Project Cinema 5" I had never actually edited anything MMV related, the series was my introduction and got me into something that I love so much. I remember beej a few weeks before the sign ups of 6 came out messaged me and asked me if I wanted to be in 6 and let me pick a part early, I remember at the time how much that meant to me at the time and it was then that I truly became invested in the Cinema series. They are some of my favorite videos of all time with some of my personal favorites being 4,6,7,9, and 10 but really I could put them all there as my favorite because there all so damn perfect in there own ways. To be apart of such a incredible series is truly a honor for me, the series taught me new ways of editing that I didn't know were possible. Sometimes ill just go back and watch all of them in a row and it truly brings a smile on my face to watch them, there filled with so much emotions its truly inspiring.
The series could not have worked if it wasn't for the incredible editors that worked on the series and while there are so many that worked on it and did some fantastic parts, I have to highlight three specific editors that helped made the series what it is. First of Beej, he created and came up with the idea and put together every Project Cinema besides 3 and 4, if it wasn't for this man we wouldn't have a Project Cinema! But the one thing that makes the Cinema series is the song choices, and Beej you picked some amazing songs for Cinema. To your use of Coldplay which was a staple for the first half of the series, to your incredible choices for 6 with "To Build a Home" By The Cinematic Orchestra which is probably the best song choice for any video ever. To the Epic and grand choices with 7, 9 and 10, and not only that but most of these songs that you chose had a lot of personal meaning to you and your personal life which makes it that much more special to you and to the viewer. Not only that, but you have some of the best parts in the series especially your 'Sunshine' Part in 6 and your 'Creed' part in 9, your the founder of the Cinema series and without you this all wouldn't be possible, so thank you!
The next person I have to thank is Bless. Bless is probably the most underrated editor on the board, part of that has to do with himself and lack of participation and not doing a lot solo wise. But the man is a fantastic editor and needs to do more MMV stuff! Because the man outside of the Cinema series has only done one MMV video which is a shame because his stuff in the Cinema stuff is incredible! To his 'Apollo 13' part in 6 to his 'A Street Car Named Desire and A Clockwork Orange' parts in 7 and his '42' part in 9 the man has made some incredible and standout parts in the Cinema series! Now Bless stop slacking and make a new MMV dammit!
And last but for sure not least, I cant leave out the one and only Awesome Dude. The man has the most parts and has been in every video in the Project Cinema series and some of the best in the whole entire series. Its hard to add anything or really say or critique anything that Awesome Dude does at this point, the man is so perfect in everything that he does its almost like every video or Cinema part that he makes I feel like that I say the exact same thing over and over and over again. Its like literal perfection with each part that he makes in the series that I dont know what to say at a certain point, hell some would call his parts Awesome........ Okay yea that was bad im sorry ill continue praising AD. Also AD help create and put together Project Cinema 3 and 4, and some would call those the best in the series which goes to show the greatness of AD. AD is one of the great to edit on this site, he was one of the core people of the series and if it wasn't for him I dont think this series would be as great as it is!
Project Cinema is a series that remains so special in my heart. I loved this series while it lasted and I still love it watching back. I personally wanna thank everyone who participated in the series and made it what it is! In my opinion this series will go down as the best series in this websites history and im truly happy that this series is in the MVZ Hall of Fame!
