FFXII Vid: Batman Begins

EDIT: [This] leads to [this] accompanied with [this] along with [this] and finally brought upon THIS VIDEO.

Completely inspired by two marvelously talented and creative ladies. It was no hidden secret that [livejournal.com profile] mariagoner was the obvious main culprit of this new crossover insanity, while Kidzukai was the fellow accomplice who broaden its possibilities. And I am just a poor soul caught within the torrential whirlwind of Baschman madness.

Therefore, send your worship, love and praises to them. Not me. XD

Somehow, I believe that this trailer could be better but with my mum vulturing around and ready to pick a bone with me, there wasn't much that I could do but speed up and finish it before she talks my ears off. I'm quite satisfied with the final results, considering that I did try to limit myself to using specific scenes.

And can you blame a girl for choosing Ashe as the damsel in distress again? As the story goes, Batman Baschman saves the day but have to give up his love for Rachel Ashe for the peace of Gotham City Dalmasca. Playing the tragic hero again, ain't he?

Also, Vayne is the perfect villain. I mean it! He was born for malicious roles and he fits well into them. After creating two trailers featuring him as the big bad wolf, I'm proud to say that he's the easiest character to work with in regards for lip-synching.

Now we have an idea, a movie poster, a script and a trailer. What else do we need? XD 

EDIT: Cheers, now we've got the tickets for the premier as well. Kiddies not allowed, and adults only XD

Title: Batman Begins
Fandom: Final Fantasy XII

LOL. That's really, really well done! XD I love it! Thanks so much for sharing!

[identity profile] aorin107.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you for watching. And I'm so glad to hear that people are enjoying it, considering it was made in a mad rush X3

(We also have a ticket!)

OMG...that was so full of win! The voices were so well synched...! Plus the casting was very fitting ^_^ And you're right, Vayne does make the perfect villian XD

[identity profile] aorin107.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Where is it? Why didn't I get one? *wails like a dying cat*

Now, this is the one reply I've been looking forward to. And thank goodness, it meets your approval. Of course, Basch would put on the batsuit as expected, Ashe as usual shall be Basch's love interest, and no one would ever take the villain identity from Vayne.

I even have the perfect villain song for Vayne, I should be able to complete it within the next two weeks. Shall I inform you of some Vayne-centric madness then?

Ah no! Not the kittehs >_< It was posted up on [livejournal.com profile] mariagoner's LJ, as well as my own blog. I blame [livejournal.com profile] astrangerenters for asking about them...XD

I even have the perfect villain song for Vayne, I should be able to complete it within the next two weeks. Shall I inform you of some Vayne-centric madness then?

^ Sounds like fun. Please do :D

[identity profile] aorin107.livejournal.com 2007-08-26 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Must have missed it then *Bounces over to your blog*

Eeeek! I shall edit the post to include the ticket as well XD

As for the Vayne personal villain song, it is now going through the toughest process, 'the touch-up'. Makes me want to kill him again in the game! -.-||

How shall I inform you when it is uploaded? I'm not too familiar with wordpress (is there a friending system?) and also, there isn't a Vayne community out there where I can post up, so most likely it will be appearing on my LJ only. Should I email you or drop a message on your blog? :)

[identity profile] skipper (from livejournal.com) 2007-08-26 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Thinking about it; if I'd've known your sinister scheme before I could have provided you with a text-free version of the picture (apart from the title, of course). If you're interested I can email you it.

Reading again it sounds like that comment was more - and should have been - intended for the Motherofallinsaneideas, not moi. As for me being an accomplice; I'm only a Photoshop puppet! Someone else would have got there eventually I'm sure ;)

[identity profile] aorin107.livejournal.com 2007-08-26 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, of course I'm interested, I've uploaded this video to various forums (crediting you and Maria for the poster) and I've been receiving quite a number of replies where they consider the Baschman movie poster to be sheer brilliance XD

Heh... I wanted it to be a surprise! Which is why I went hush-hush about the whole thing. Oh, btw, my email is aorin107@hotmail.com :)

Actually, the comment have strong references to the both of you XD No kidding, Maria started it and you encouraged it with the pic and fic. And I'm quite doubtful that anyone else would have created such an awesome fanart, there aren't many of us who can use Photoshop or even know the program. I, myself is a n00b in photoshop.

[identity profile] skipper (from livejournal.com) 2007-08-26 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Wordpress sucks for social aspects >_< I say; even though I'm not technically here, friending system still works on LJ ^_^

And yes, of course, a surprise XD A pleasant one at that. I'll email you the blank one in a bit ;)

I'm a n00b in PS! There's so much I still don't know...but I'm a n00b with a few tricks to cover up the lameness underneath. Heee XD I don't know why the fic was even rec'd at all! My writing sucks...when you start writing about people giving wedgies then you must be desperate for a storyline XD

[identity profile] aorin107.livejournal.com 2007-08-27 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Mind me friending you, then? If it works for you, of course ;)

And thanks for the movie poster. Hmm... yeah, quite true, it does seem a little more boring without the text XP

You are a n00b? Then, I shall label you as professional n00b! :D Also, I didn't think the fic was as bad as you thought, you did well, and it was hilarious, especially when Vaan starts questioning about the suit, and Basch loses his sanity. Poor Basch XD

[identity profile] skipper (from livejournal.com) 2007-08-27 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
It's all good ^_^

And yeah I know...what did I say about covering the lameness? :/ Though IMHO it would look a bit better without it for your video - since the credits and such are hardly readable anyway... :/ But in the end it's up to you which you use ^_^

'Professional n00b'? lol...That'd be one for the resume... ;)

[identity profile] aorin107.livejournal.com 2007-08-27 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks ^^

Not for this one, cause I'm too lazy to fix the videos that I've posted, especially if I had to go through the horror of uploading the 70MB file, again. But since, I do have future plans for Batman Baschman Forever (feat Vaan as Robin), I'll use this poster then. I still think it is funny, everytime I look at the Solidor crest, I get a laughing fit.

Your future employee would probably sweatdropped and look O___o|||

[identity profile] astrangerenters.livejournal.com 2007-08-24 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay, I loved it! And is Balthier's voice Morgan Freeman?! I never saw Batman Begins, so shows what I know :)

Go Baschman! Can Vaan be Robin in the sequel? ;)

[identity profile] aorin107.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, it is. Impressive, I can hardly tell who from who, if they don't shout at my ears.

Don't encourage me! Don't start implanting ideas to my head! *Starts watching Batman Forever and Batman Returns on youtube*

... I was thinking of turning Vaan into Spiderman in my next project X3

You make me giggle, love. Very well done!

[identity profile] aorin107.livejournal.com 2007-08-25 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you for watching ;) I'm beginning to feel that amv-making is my true call in fandom but... fic-writing is what I actually put most effort in. *sighs*

Still, it a great pleasure to hear that it made you laugh.

[identity profile] arora-kayd.livejournal.com 2007-08-26 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
You guys are me heros. That is so awesome.

Viva Baschman!

[identity profile] aorin107.livejournal.com 2007-08-26 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for watching ♥

Trust me, the two ladies that started this are truly made of awesome. Never would I thought that Basch makes such a great Batman Baschman.

And yeah, VIVA BASCHMAN!!

[identity profile] mariagoner.livejournal.com 2007-08-27 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, these merely get more and more hilarious as time goes by! Though I've noticed you've a very strong tendency to put Ashe and Basch as the main characters always. Now why is that, I wonder...? ;)

[identity profile] aorin107.livejournal.com 2007-08-27 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Aha... a reply from another lady that I've been looking forward to (strained my neck in the process) XD I'm glad you find it amusing, cause if not, shall once again plunge into the abyss of despair :3

::coughs:: It is not a matter of preference, it is compulsory ::coughs:: The very same reasons on why my icons are primarily this couple ::coughs:: Probably trying to start a revolutionary Basheism cult ::coughs:: Or perhaps, limitations of brains ::coughs:: XD

Many reasons, dear ;) Mostly related to unhealthy obsessions XD

[identity profile] diorelli.livejournal.com 2007-08-31 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, you've been busy :P Yes, I'm still alive (barely), buried under a ton of work and stuff. So, this is what Basch does in his spare time eh? I think it fits, now we know what's under that Archadian plate of his. Iiiiits.....the Baschman! Excellent job again.

I've been writing a little bit on my spare time for my sanity and I've claimed Ashe/Basch over at 1sentence. Hopefully, I can finish it sometime soon >_<

[identity profile] aorin107.livejournal.com 2007-08-31 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey there XD Missed having you around to fangirl with me. Aww, you poor thing, I hope you'll come around soon.

Not really, still haven't manage to make much progress for both fics. The worst of my RL is almost over so I might as well contribute a little more to fandom ^^ Frankly speaking, I have little problems with AMV making but fic writing is dreadfully draining.

Heh, yeah, he goes around gallivanting in the Baschmobile to check on any mysterious trouble arising throughout Archadia, too bad they don't have a Basch signal over at Rabanastre. ^^

About time XD I certainly can't wait, I don't even dare to take up any challenges or meme for fear I wouldn't be able to handle it -.-|| Do post up once you are done!

...is there any way this video is up for download? ^_^ I love it to uber-pieces.

[identity profile] aorin107.livejournal.com 2007-10-04 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, of course it is up for download XD It's just that the original file is rather huge in size and I didn't think anyone would be interested, which is why I didn't provide a download link.

Here you go: Batman Begins - Sendspace Link (http://www.sendspace.com/file/4g4rk2).

Also, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it, I had fun making it too XD

Hmm.

[identity profile] lego2man.livejournal.com 2007-10-19 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
I love the trailer! It is so funny!

Re: Hmm.

Thanks for watching!

Whatever that happened in this video is clearly the fault of people that inspired it. But our dear captain does make an interesting Baschman X3
