Anyways here's the idea: Use Lain as the quitisensial innocence lost anime. I would begin with scenes of the stuffed animals, PJ's etc and when the gituars hit I would burn through the suicide and insanity footage like a madman. Especially appropriate with the falling girl and all the falling chords.
I like the idea but for the life of me I can't fit Lain int the second half. Do you have an idea that could pick it up from thre? Something redemptive perhaps.
I actually have another possible idea about this, myself, which may be more concretely in line with the theme of the project - not that I'm saying it's neccesarily better, or what we want...
I'd take Arjuna, and start off with an actual baby who was just born (there's a scene like that there), then go through childhood pictures of the main character (also in the series) to that little melody... then you get to her youth - possibly some nice landscapes involved - with the piano melody.
And then, as is known, the main character dies in the first episode of the series and sees disturbing visions of a future world, which gradually becomes more and more real in the series... That's where this harder part would come in, with that kind of imagery. Then with the guitar solo would have to do with the actual character and her death, and how she wants to come back to life, but there's a price to it - concluding the segment with her actually coming back to life.
Does that sound like an interesting idea to you?
If you think that's good - I'll actually take it as my segment, I think I'll have the footage I need...

It's by challenging myself that I really learn how to edit videos and develop my editing style. You've made some really impressive works as well, and embarking on the so-called "above your level" projects would certainly improve your abilities even more.
Heh, oh, don't worry, I was mostly pointing out how I think some segments seem more appropriate to what I see as certain other editors' stylistic leanings.
Technically, I am not a particularly good editor because I'm a somewhat lazy editor - well, 'economical' editor, if you will. I'm really not interested in anything beyond a 'sufficient' technical execution.
On the other hand yea, it's the exact same thing with me - this 'sufficiency' always puts new demands on me, and, as with anything else, I do edit videos as a challenge to myself, that's for sure.
But, we'll see what comes out of this...
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…
I'll think about the anime choices and get back to you on that in a day or so.
