Do you remember Galaxy Bounce from 2006? It was good, it won some awards but I always thought it could be improved. Introducing Galaxy Bounce 2012, remake of my 6-year-old AMV with improved editing, effects, 720p, 60fps and an exclusive remix of the original song Lifelight by Sugar Jesus.

The improved video quality was nice but I figured that a simple remake with the same song wouldn’t make a good impact. I needed something to freshen the AMV, like a new version of the song, remix maybe. Since I recently worked with Andrei Basirov from Sugar Jesus for my Binary Overdrive AMV and I knew that he was very good at remixing, I thought I’d ask him if he would be interested in taking part in this project. He immediately accepted and told me that he needed the vocal track of Andy Hunter’s song as well as some other elements like SFX and chorus tracks in order to start working on the remix.

I managed to contact Andy and tell him about the project. He already saw the first Galaxy Bounce AMV few years ago and loved it. He agreed to help and sent me the audio tracks that Andrei needed. It took a while for Andrei to come up with the first version of the remix as he’s been very busy with his job but it was worth waiting. This first version was already high quality but Andrei is a perfectionist and he kept getting back to me with improved versions every time I gave him feedback.

I put my summer AMV project on standby (Quantum Ripples) and started editing as soon as I got the first version of the remix. Although I basically just had to replicate the editing from the 2006 AMV, it took me a while to remember and redo some effects. I also realized that I already had a good level back then and there are even some quick transitions that I didn’t manage to redo very well so I just took them directly from the old Galaxy Bounce, hopefully you won’t notice it. This remake is about 1 minute longer.

Once again it was a pleasure to work with Andrei. Having Andy Hunter on the project put some extra pressure and motivated me to do things well. I spent about 5 months working on this remake (including lazy-time playing Deus Ex). There are a lot of new effects, most of them are about details that you might miss but if you compare with the old Galaxy Bounce, you should notice them (check out making of).
