Just a Thought...

Did any one think about making a TOTAL flash back vid? Where the vid is just a flashback of the main character? Has anyone done this yet?

I'm not sure I understand.

Do you mean a video that would start with a character at the end of an anime, and then go into a dream (flashback) sequence that lasts for the rest of the video and focuses on how he got to where he was in the first few scenes?

I mean, if you're just looking at a character's past, it isn't a flashback. You have to start somewhere and then look back. If it's all about someone's past, then it's just another character profile.

Mebbe my vid here - http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... hp?v=27752 Wormmon's Lament, could possibly be considered flashback.

I guess some videos that show a char's life story like could be a flashback. My vid is kind of about two characters specifically reflecting back on a particularly emotional story arc. You'd probably best appreciate it if you're already familiar with the story, but I can't judge, because it only has one opinion, and we've both seen the anime. I hope you can enjoy it if you're daring enough to check it out. I was trying to go for a mournful kind of tone, I don't know how good it is.

well...what I am thinking of, is having the main character "remember" all the things that had happened to him in the series, and having that be the video...not really a character profile, but rather a story about how the character got to where he/she was...If that makes sense. -_-'

In my vid, the first bit goes (in Japanese) -

"Do you remember? The day we met
If I close my eyes, there you are
Tears flowing, all alone
Hurt and lost "

So as the character closes his eyes there in my vid, I flashback to when the two chars first meet, and the events that brought them to this current moment. At the end of the vid, the char opens his eyes, returning to the present and moving forward in the action. Then I have a totally awesome montage that covers the next few arcs, and then end with the second character reflecting on the same events.

Mocha_san just posted a vid that's a flashback in the AMV Announcements forum. Not sure how to link directly to that, but you can go to the forum. The vid's called Memories of a Faded Past. Not sure if this what you're looking for.
