    Really impressed by him, and I impressed myself as well by getting INJECTIONS faster than him, despite being non-native speaker. Celebrated like mad.

    I used ULead MediaStudio Pro 8, Xara Xtreme, Goldwave, and a Countdown lettering application that I wrote myself.
    I composed the theme remix using Reason 4.

    For anyone that has disliked this video, can I just ask why?
    It would appear the only reason to dislike this video is through jealousy, but if there is another reason I really would be interested to know.

  • @MrJoeP05
    @MrJoeP05 10 років тому +1

    7 minutes in, he came so close to making 828, I'm surprised he didn't spot it. If he did (100 + 3) * 8 = 824, then did (9 * 6) - 50 = 4 and add them together, he would've done it. Still, even the best of us can make mistakes and you can't help but be in awe of someone who is as young and as brilliant as this lad. Wish I was that good when I was his age, let alone now!

    • @markhughes5352
      @markhughes5352 7 років тому

    Some are, but then I got bored as it takes much longer to put together. The tempo of the remix is 128.8759 beats/min (due to the length of the main sample), and that means 11.639 frames per beat - hard work, in other words!
