• Comments: My entry for round 1 of the Epiphany Contest run by xsmatthijsse. I had to alter the sound due to it being blocked in several countries which has kind of ruind the feel off it as the voices have gone a bit too chipmunk, but other then that in rather happy with this video unlike most of my stuff recently.
  
  I found it really hard to pick a song and how I was going to interpret the theme of Heroism I was set so I decided to look up some quotes for inspiration. There a few that stood out to me but none more so than this:
  
  "Show me a hero and I will write you a tragedy."
  - F. Scott Fitzgerald
  
  Whilst heroism is often praised, and encouraged, the darker side of heroism is often neglected, the fact that heroic acts frequently begin, and end, with tragedy. Frequently in war situations it is said someone "died a hero" but the fact is they still died. Therefore this is what I am aiming to portray, although heroism is glorious and good in that it brings out the best in people, it is still within itself a tragedy, and as the song states a case of "fight or fall".
