A Real Life Fairytale

A Real Life Fairytale - Macross Frontier - Ranka & Alto

Image



It's been a while since my last release here, also this one took way more time and I had a real concept lol
Anyway, basically I thought: O.O "Omg, that's the perfect song for Ranka & Alto", when I heard it for the first time. I love Plumb and this song is really special. I cut it, to bring it to a climax instead of letting it end with a random chorus. The song was really fun to work with but also quite a challenge, as i was trying both: Syncing to the words/lyrics as well as the beats. I kept it simple, because I think the footage itself is really pretty and tried to repeat certain effects everytime the melody would repeat as well. Also there are little masking scenes but I wanted them to be perfect at least, which is why it ate so much time (the scene at 2:57 nearly 10 hours).
Still I hope you will like it, you can read more about the story on the video page but i think it is easy to understand, haha :3

Tell me if something is off ^^

Ah yeah, programs used:
Final Cut Express
After Effects
Photoshop

Thanks for watching <3

I was so happy when I saw this. A decent Alto x Ranka vid, finally!

At first I was a bit hesitant, because I don't really like the band. But I was surprised at how well the lyrics fit the couple, and I'm glad I watched it.

Awww, that was so sweet. I cried T_T
Solid work all around. I especially relished the lyric sync and the cheerful mood.

I read the rest of the video description after viewing and realized I didn't catch the 'betrayal' (it might not help that I haven't seen the anime), and just thought it was a happy love story all the way through. So I guess the storytelling wasn't clear enough for me at that point--but I really liked what I thought happened just the same.

I look forward to your next! ^^ (adds user to alerts)

I also missed the betrayal theme until I read the comments. Perhaps more clips of ... *looks it up* ... Alto & Sheryl and Ranka's reaction would have helped.

Good video. Nice work. :up:

Thank you very much, everyone ^^ I am glad you liked it and I was able to make some of you cry or smile, haha :3
Oh okay, more screentime for Alto and Sherly next time then. Thanks for pointing this out, I really didn't notice. ^^
