Heya All
I know it has been a while since i've posted anything but that's because ive been locked away (on and off) for 2 years making this new video, it has aliens , robots and steam-punk bugs all enthralled in a massive war. It's taken more work than i could ever begin to imagine and i hope very much that you enjoy it.

stunning, chaotic, mental, crazy, brilliant video. Music. Meh. Which is a shame because if you had a 3 minute version with music that us critical cunts can understand then you have yourself something very very special, nay, a hit. Don't you dare take this as a criticism.
eta have posted on reddit FYI which should get you couple hundred hits

and don't worry i didn't take it as criticism, it's completely understandable. And thank you very much for posting it on reddit, it's always appreciated when our work gets shared. I'm glad it's being received so well

I disagree about the music - I like the 'attack' sequences when it really kicks off. The beginning, and the bit between the two attacks, could do with a bit more interest. And I agree, if you could edit this to 3.30 or so you would have a huge hit

we played different music over it and there was an M83 track that worked; we thought it needed a contrast with all the mayhem in the video ie mayhem music + mayhem video is too distracting. The calmer music made it all the more bonkers TBH

We have a winner for best b3tan video of the year and its only 6 days old.
Just how much influence do you take from the final fantasy series (specifically 7) and what were your other influences?
Brilliant work.

Well that is very generous indeed. There was actually zero influence taken from final fantasy 7, or any of them for that matter, much more was taken from transformers in terms of the robots and morphing machines.

Edit: Also Machina (or Makina..I know that's the musician) are the bad things which cause the planet to get all uppity in FF10 creating its own monsters as an immune response....

I see what you mean, I'm pretty chuffed to have it in the same league as that though, so thanks very much. Nice coincidence about the name though, I didn't know when we came up with the premise.

It's not music I love but it suits the video perfectly. I can't begin to imagine the work that went into this--it's large and very impressive, great job.

I quite liked the music too, but I'm just a whippersnapper I suppose.
Chemical Brothers fan? Definite similarities.

That was fucking awesome. One to put on at 5 o'clock in the morning at a party. Some serious detail too. I hope you get some decent attention for this!

I appreciate your kind words very much, and although everyone on B3ta has been immensely supportive, other sites have not been as kind and it has not received any attention at all besides here despite weeks of contacting people, which is a great shame, especially after so much work.
all i can say is im glad that you guys appreciate it an i do love B3ta
