Circle of Conflict

Anime: Princess Mononoke
Music: Scars of Time by Yasunori Mitsuda (from the game Chrono Cross)

Now I too realize the unoriginality of submitting a Ghibli Instrumental video to Masters, but oh well. And yes, I realize others have used this song and even this combination, but I wanted to do it anyway in the hopes I could do it well.

The main reason I made this video is because this song is absolutely beautiful. I thought it would be a good challenge to *try* to capture that beautiful flow the flute and violin provide. Hopefully I captured a little bit of it.

I'll write a video description later since there are quite a few subtle things I did in terms of crescendos, particular instruments, upward trends in the notes, etc. I bet none of that makes sense.

My concept was fairly simple (IMO), I wanted to illustrate the neverending vicious circle that seems to exist between man and nature. Hopefully you see this since I had a Kodama at the end and so on. Oh and yes I put the text from the game intro in on purpose. It seemed to apply with what I was going for.

Somewhat related, but I also posted my NES Project track in that particular thread.

Enjoy!

I think this video is beautiful, Daniel. It has fantastic flow, and the music really fits the mood of the movie. Great job!

Not bad, I thought the pace was a bit slow at times, but overall I thought it was a nice lil romance/action vid.

Well hopefully the pace was slow on the parts where the music was...slow

. The song is about 50-50 in terms of flow/pacing and I tried my best to match that. Would seem a bit odd to make it all fast right?

Thanks anyway and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

It's tricky to live down a catch phrase.
