ok Beowulf, but there is about 50 seconds of this video I would take out simply because it doesn't say anything the rest of the video didn't already say. It's not my attention span it's simply the fact that it's not necessary.
Kind of like the how extremely long the wedding scene was in the deer hunter. Still a great movie, that scene just needs to be chopped a bit.

loved it :up:
I'm glad you like it! XD
(It's true, I dream of making people cry, though I don't claim to be that skilled quite yet.)
:aimkissyface: Why hello there, handsome.

Maybe so, maybe so.
Personally, I like my literature long--novels, movie trilogies, old PS RPGs, songs that run on 7 minutes, and AMVs too. Can't say this applies to my own work though (I'm a slow editor, and I don't have that kind of free time).

Lemme guess...3:45-4:26ish? If you don't get it, I ain't explainin' it. That's the video's business, and if it doesn't do it, then =/ there you are.

You did an amazing job at editing this. The flow and pace were awesome, and you timed everything perfectly. It took me a while to get into the mood of the AMV, and it actually started to drag on a bit, but I feel that it would have been a horrible decision to cut the song. I only wish that you had added subtitles at the end. I really would like to know what the little girl said. I guess I'll just have to watch the show and find out :D

lolol.

Gotta love the way this anime uses color as a directing technique.
...and how, like, every sixth character has pink hair. XD

^^ thx

For those of you who aren't aware, Darren Hayes is from Savage Garden.

Yeah, this is one of his darkest songs (okay, Neverland is darker, since it's about child abuse). That is, if you pay close attention to the lyrics, which, admittedly, I did not do until I'd already laid out the amv's story. For the longest time I had no idea the song was about...
Spoiler :
...a suicide.
A man drives off a bridge into the river and drowns. ;_;

Heh heh...that reminds me... When I was working on the 2nd climax I really hurt my eyes. Intense concentration + flashies + semi-legible text + face 10" from screen = headache.

Yes, yes you will! All is going exactly as planned muahahahhahah~!
/jk
Thought about subbing it (Monica Rial sounds awesome, but I prefer the sub's translation--otherwise I might have ripped the audio from the dub). But I talked it over w/ Kaze, and concluded that the quote doesn't add anything to the vid (besides a lil curiosity) unless you've seen the anime.

And, well, tiny spoilers. <<
You guys have no idea the adventure it was keeping this as spoiler-free as possible!



If anyone figured out the no. 1 reason it's titled 'Trial by Drowning,' you get a gold star.
