first i want to make a Cardcaptor Sakura AMV and an planning to use the song

Your beautiful by James blunt

the lyrics? here they are

My life is brilliant.

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high, [ - video/radio edited version]
Fucking high, [ - CD version]
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you. /end song

and am wondering what to do.

i was thinking of starting off with her runnning in the rain and was wanting help from the pros here. Dont want to start out bad you know.

I of course will need practice.

do what feels right... if it feels right to you then it will probably feel right to other peoples too XD

storyboard out your amv before making it. - at least some of it.

if you're really depserate for inspiration and can't think of anything, i suggest go watching some videos for inspiration.
this is a good one

yea and i just went "awww" out loud too O.O
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

but seriously though, if you want to make a good CCS video, probably the first thing that will stand out is visual quality... most CCS videos have VERY poor video quality, so the few that stand out to me are the ones with a really clean source (no subtitles, clean quality)

try to match the lyrics if you can, and move with the flow of the song...

it might make for a really good Sakura/Yukito video O.o cause they never do end up together even though Sakura really likes him O.o

the song doenst really fit Sayoran/Sakura but you CAN make it fit if you wanted to O.o

~~~~~~~~~
i donno how much you want to be influenced by other videos, but ive seen some very good videos to that song...

most specifically:
L'amore Perso
uses Romeo & Juliet *Baz Lurman version*
can be found on this page:

I've also made a Star Trek Deep Space 9 Video to it.. (helps if you know the characters though, and Nessie's is better

) O.o but yea

actually the more i think about it... it really fits the Sakura/Yukito relationship...

well if you make Yukito a girl that is lmao

Well actually i was gonna try a Sakura X Tomoyo thing.

shadowchemist · Post by **shadowchemist** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 12:00 am

but then again Sakura X Yukito would work..

of course ill try several scenes and what not. Plus i have the DVDs so, i'm hoping for good quality here
