Searching for the Truth

[KingRoyMustang]

This video is about Roy Mustang searching for the truth behind Ishval and Col, Hughes' murder.

I took a brake from making amvs, so I could find high quality scenes and practice editing.
Tell me how I did.

Hm, well, I wouldn't say it's bad, but I didn't feel like there was really any direction that it was taking. It seemed like you just took a few scenes and cut them up and arranged them to the beat of the music. I didn't look up the lyrics to the song, just because I would have had to read, watch, read watch, pause, etc. I'm not saying that's your fault, but my unfamiliarity with the song/artist kept me from really being able to get into the AMV. I think that you have some potential here though, I'd like to see what you might do to this one in the future, or even others as well. Keep it up!

Thanks for the feedback. The direction I was taking with this amv was, Roy Mustang dealing with Ishval and Col, Hughes' murder and learning that
revenge is shallow and empty.The song is The Meaning of Truth and here are the lyrics to the song in English.


Where should we face and what should we be looking at as we see dreams
What value can we give to a victory gained by revenge or bargaining

If the sun were to embrace a contradictory resolution
on its path to the future, it would continue to shine

You who despair with strength, pull this guiding hand
If there is a place one can call "truth",
Even if confusion is felt, on the other side of this horizon
An answer still cannot be seen

How much longer will we be "pure"
I don't want to know anymore of the "ego"
Behind the smiling face submerged in shadow

History shakes to an uncontrollable hate...
An episode towards destruction like it is ordained.

You undignified and saddened ones, with "Heart" that splits your skin
Join with a love one can call "Truth"
Even if you become ashes, even if the "End" should come tomorrow,
Today... Seek passion

If the sun were to embrace a contradictory resolution
on its path to the future, it would continue to shine

You who despair with strength, pull this guiding hand
If there is a place one can call "truth",
Even if confusion is felt, on the other side of this horizon
An answer still cannot be seen

Searching for the Truth.
Searching for the Truth.
