Kaleido Star - We Believe (Uplifting drama)

We Believe
Anime: Kaleido Star
Song: Duran Duran - What Happens Tomorrow
Genre: Uplifting drama

And nobody knows
What's gonna happen tomorrow
So don't let go
Now we've come this far...

Optimism, acrobatics, determination and teamwork - lots of fuzzy shoujo Stick To Your Dreams-ness. And unabashed pop music. Yay.

This uses the first series (still waiting for the second to come out here, woohoo!) and has some medium-strength spoilers, but no industrial-strength. It focuses mostly on Sora and Layla, since hey, they're the stars.

Enjoy.

:O Sweet video, it really got a flow going. Some cuts, mostly during the action sequences, seem to be a little off, but nothing too bad

for using bits from the 2nd season

If the mood synch and scene selections are as good as they were in the beta, then it'll be a keeper. Getting.

It was actually all from the first season - the second season hasn't come out here yet, just the first disc.

Yeah, it's almost the same as the beta; I just threw the guy out of the second verse and most of the solo.

Thanks, all!

Damn, I could've sworn some scenes were from the 2nd season - Propably I need to watch the anime a few times over

Pretty nice vid. The timming was great in some areas, but felt a little bit off in others. Like it was real close but off by a split second, enough to notice it.
I also noticed it seems like you don;t time all your scene cuts to the music, or at least not to prominant parts of the music. I think the flow would be even better if you did time all the cuts to occur right on a highlight beat, verse change, or drum hit in the song. I noticed a few on screen action things (like Sora landing on something for instance) that I would have timed to a hit in the music too that you left untouched. Realy just minor things that make the video lack a polished feeling. Otherwise, you had a nice flow as far as scene selection, mood and lyrical synching goes, and the video as a whole was very nice. I'd give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

I liked this a lot. I'm glad Yuri got axed cause it helped with story flow. This will be on repeat for a bit. I think I'll watch it again now actually. Good job.
