alternate title: long-ass amv about sad children
second alternate title: *lip flaps into sunset*
but this has been sitting on my desktop for ages so onto the interwebs it goes!
i'm finally somewhat okay with this though! i like didn't want to cut anything off of the song and I admit it drags on/changes pace a few too many times
but i really felt the mood fit my video source >_>
also all the ridiculous textures and colors and fancy looking things are in the source itself! hope you enjoy! :)

This song is beautiful. I love it. I can say from firsthand experience from editing with it that it is NOT easy to work with. So you've got my respect for picking a great and difficult song to work with.

My, that art style is strange. I like it, mostly, though some of the character designs seem a little too disproportional for my taste. Now, as for the video itself... the mood is here, and I definitely got a sense that this song fits well with the source and with your concept. However, if I were to offer suggestions for the future, I'd say to make your story either a bit more discernible, or go the opposite route into total abstraction. Your video was sort of hovering in the middle of the two, and that made it hard to get into in some ways.

Good video though, and keep it up!

I agree entirely. I struggled since the source is only like 30 minutes long but couldn't find a way to cut the song and leave the parts I wanted to keep :/ so i just kind of filled in with random scenes and hoped no one would notice xD

xD i agree with this too. I feel like if I had the patience I could've livened it up a bit but I just wanted to finish this for good and try to do better on my next vids!

Thank you both :) ahh i love comments!
