Best Drama @ Bunkasai 2008 AMV Contest
The Idea, Song Choice
The concept of the video is exclusively based on the great song. I wanted to edit a video on this song for a long time, so around November 2007 I began preparations for the video. Until February 2008 all I was doing was collecting footage. I got all the anime on DVDs from all my friends and Crafty Shadow sent me some great footage from game openings. When I approached the critical mass of footage I started converting it in lossless (only the scenes I needed, because I didn't have the 320gb portable HDD I have now xD). Sadly, nearly 75% of the scenes I converted didn't get used in the video, because there wasn't enough time to show all the scenes.
Editing and Effects
The plan for this video was to flow with the song, without having any storyline. Beautiful Day is one of these songs, which have a great emotional impact on me and can change my mood whenever I listen to it. Although the song is overall happy and relaxing, it has some extremely strong moments when emotions overwhelm me every time I listen to it. I wanted the video to reflect these feelings. The scene selection is based on the lyrics and the video changes flow as the song does. Most of the time spent on the video was due to editing and scene selection. The effects in this video tend to be "invisible" - no eye candy, just filters and color corrections, blurs, camera motions and montages. There really isn't anything more to say for the video, just watch it and let the feelings embrace you. :) And remember, enjoy life, even if just for a day. ;)
Note: First time usage of "Till I Reach your Tomorrow" and second time usage of "EF - The Latter Tale" as source on the org, w00t. The first video using "EF - The Latter Tale" is The Gift by jasper-isis, go check it out, it's great! ;)
