Hey! Sup.
How about you, for this once, forget about your prejudices.
Can that word even be put in the plural form?:lol:
TO READ BEFORE WATCHING :
Is someone getting the best of you? Yeah. You are.
He would like to be sepia, but he is but color.
TO READ AFTER WATCHING :
This is a tribute to the Beautiful Green Beast of Konoha, using a slightly alternate storyline. Basically, (and fans of the series will see the difference in plot), Lee is a hard-worker, motivated by the cheers of his teacher Gai. But he lacks any self-confidence whatsoever. I would go so far as to say his biggest enemy is himself. And that is why in the first fight segment, mirror effects and such have Lee fighting himself. His opponent, Gaara, is not at all seen at first. But when Lee is thrown against a wall and seems helpless, he starts fantasizing about what he could do if only he was stronger. This is sepia Lee, the rival I created. The whole song lyrics are just Lee talking to the Lee he wishes he could be, and “Best of You” can take on many meanings.
Anyway, in Lee’s fantasy, his better self totally dominates Gaara, overcoming great pain and showing huge courage. Again, everything Lee wishes he could do. But motivated by his dream, he charges his opponent, only to get seriously injured, both mentally and physically. The sepia/color comparison continues throughout the AMV, but in the end, I like to think Lee chose the latter over the former. In other words, he accepted who he was, and that is the path to self confidence.
This is my first and last AMV. I only made this because of Lee. He taught me alot, and it’s the least I could do.
I’m quite grateful I found this song. It conveys an amazing amount of energy, which I tried to blend with Lee’s.
The video has been a year and 200 hours in the making, and I’m quite happy it’s done.
