Video Title: The Promise
Audio: 'My Sweet Prince' by Placebo
Visual: Utena TV Series
Winner of Best Overall and 2nd place Romantic/Sentimental video at OnnaFest 2005. (Thanks to those who voted for it).
*Warning* This video contains massive spoilers for the end of the Utena TV series, if you haven't seen the end, I wouldn't want to ruin this great serious for you.
The video is all about Touga loving Utena (His Sweet Prince), but that Utena has a destiny to fulfill, that she is 'the one'. That she must be the one to rescue and save Anthy.
I hope people enjoy it, and leave feedback. File is almost 100megs, and in divx or xvid...not sure which I put up.

I'm downloading it but probably won't watch it because I just bought the entire series on Amazon and don't want to spoil it.
I'll let ya know after i finish it in about three months or so

(Oooh, I was gonna use those two shots of the joined hands - near the end - combined like that in something, but never finished it. Glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought that'd look really cool. That and the idea that the carousel should be used more. Very much in agreement. 
And I completely forgot about that shot of Utena in the elevator, which tells you how often that gets used.)
Congratulations on the win, that's awesome. I'm glad to see a good treatment of Touga and Utena's non-relationship, since that gets overlooked pretty often. And Anthy's part in it is dark and a little creepy, also a point that gets overlooked in favor of the romance. I like how the waltz style worked with this series, too. Reminds me of the fairytale theme.
I was wondering why the file was so huge when the animation in this series isn't that detailed - uncompressed audio. Ah well. That's a technical thing.

first impressions:
Song - not my cup o' tea but I think that you've utilized it extremely well. The slow pace works very well with the mood you've set within it.
Video - never watched Utena so I have not basis for the story, but the clips you've used really carry the emotion and weight of your theme. I just don't get the guys taking off their coats and stuff, but I digress
technical - audio was very good, but the video really suffers a lot. I know that this dvd is a problem, but I think that this AMV would really shine with a lot of cleaning up. There was a lot of pixelation at the end (merry-go-round scenes) and it just distroyed the mood of the piece.
overall, dispite the video problems, I really like this vid - I can see why it won at Onna. Great work, and if you want, I'll do an op exchange with you (you can op my Onna entry in my sig line
)
