(Self)ish

Here it is. Finally finished. If you're looking for a story, try not to. I went more fore mood and feel than a coherent story.
If you must have some semblance of a story, here's how I explained it in an MSN conversation:
"it gets more abstract with the whole Guts/Caska relationship
like the song is saying, "lie to get what I came for, lie to get what I need now"
which doesn't describe them in the show
but in the later parts of the manga, it absolutely does in a way
when Guts finally sees the woman he loved all those years ago, he basically rapes her out of his hatred for Griffith and the fact that Griffith rapes her at the end of the show
and because of Griffith he was seperated from her for so long
with Griffith, that basically is what he does in the show
lie and scheme for his own gain"

I'd like to thank 2 enormous inspirations on this particular video and my editing in general: Beowulf and Wonka. Beowulf for Dead To The World (The Story of the Antichrist) and Wonka for Die For Me. I'd also like to thank my beta testers on Youtube and Jeff who probably tested me the most on this project and him and John really pushed me to finish. Thanks you guys.

Hope it's enjoyed by all,

Cheers

Copout of an ending and a lot of the cuts lacked impact, but aside from that, not bad.

Thanks for the input Joey. I can see what you mean about some of the cuts lacking impact. I will however contest the first point. I know it looks like the ending to every Berserk amv out there (hell, it's the ending to most of my berserk amvs), but I feel here it was warranted as the culmination of the self-interest of both Guts and Griffith. If the show had continued with the manga I could have got a much better ending, but I feel I did the best I could within my means. I do however appreciate the honest criticism. Thanks again.

I'm talking about the typography, not so much that you used the end of the series to end the video. You just could've edited the end rather than copping out with typography. That or edited the song to end on the final beat there.

I guess it could be considered a cop-out to use the text, but I didn't just whip it in there. I felt it was the best way I could end the video. I suppose we just differ on that point.

nah, joey's right. I almost hope you did whip it in there because that's exactly what it looks like. Maybe if it wasn't so plain you could have a better argument against it being a copout but the text really just takes it down to the level of youtube action videos that put the lyrics cause "cant find clipss lawl"

not bad though, could be better, entertaining though, good pacing

Agree to disagree on this point I guess then. And thanks.

The start was a little too simple, and nothing really grabbed me, but you did fairly well when the song picked up. Your scene selection was good and just over all, you did well for what you were going for. The text at the end wasn't a big deal for me, but I think a different font would have been better.
