Well now...a proper video release...wow...
Idea
Anyways, I'd had this idea buzzing around in my head pretty much since i saw "Darkness Over Light: the Other Side of Me" by Michele and Hinatasan, i thought "Hmmm, that band are good, i can make a vid to that other song that i can remember, Akira should go well!"
i wasn't quite right, when i got to the planning stage it all went a bit awry as i found that while a large amount of the lyrics do fit the idea of looking at Tetsuo from Kaneda's perspective, some of it doesn't work at all, so i changed my idea so it slightly told the story and slightly looked at the characters in question, i think it turned out quite well.
Lyrics:
Trust Company - Hover
You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover
To see you leave again, it's over
And it kills me to watch you descend, to the end
Can't think straight
Shutting me out - closing me out
Are you trying - hurting
Taking me out - leaving me out
Keeps me struggling
You're leaving
You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover
to see you caving in, I'm undone
And to say it's the last time again
It's the end
Can't think straight
Shutting me out - closing me out
Are you trying - hurting
Taking me out - leaving me out
Keeps me struggling
I'm leaving
You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover
I'm watching you descend
I'm hovering instead
I'm watching you descend
I'm hovering instead
You take me down, further inside
Now I can see through you
You take me down, further inside of me
Now I'm fading out, I can barely see
I hover
I hover
I hover
I hover – again
Tech Stuff
In this vid i tried to use more advanced editing techniques than i have before, such as overlays (the intro and ~0:39 - ~0:42), and white flashes to emphasise cuts (all over the place), but also i took it as a good opportunity to tighten my action editing and beat sync, i think i did quite well really.
Furthermore, i used this vid as an opportunity to test out some of the pre/post-processing techniques/filters as detailed in EADFAG, i think it worked very well as anyone who's seen the PAL encode of Akira will no doubt attest, it's got noise and some slight blurring, but nothing too major.
