The Cat & The Devil (Black Cat)-FAE 2012 AMV Contest Winner

NOTE: This video contains spoilers for the first 6-7 episodes of Black Cat. There IS material used from later episodes, but those are the episodes that have the biggest plot attachment.

So this is a video that I actually WON the AMV Contest for the Florida Anime Experience in 2012 (Best of Show Award). I was extremely surprised that I made it that far, although I will not say I believe it was undeserved because I spent roughly 6 months (on and off) on this.

I wanted to try a few new things with this so I not only did splitscreen effects but also the effect known as "piano keys" (at least where I heard of it) since it fit the tone of the song and this is one of the reasons I wanted to do this video in the first place, along with Creed's piano key hits.

Beyond that, I actually didn't initially intend for Train to be the sinner, Creed the Devil, and Saya the Lord (albeit briefly) but it worked out perfectly.

Also, this song is actually almost 10 minutes long, and extremely repetitive at times, so I attempted to do a little sound editing and shortened it considerably (Its less than half as long as that now).

Please feel free to leave comments/criticisms/opinions and such.
