  I know, my titles are so creative. Well, what I lack in title thinking skillz, I make up for in my amv creativity! So, this is my second AMV, and my first, and not last, Advent Children AMV. Because its that cool. THAT COOL. Er...yeah. Okay, it took me about....*counts on fingers* 24 hours over two days. Yeah yeah, when i get into something, it consumes my life. Like the song! Fi-nal Fan-ta-sy, it consuuumes my liiiife...! ...
  
  So I was listening to Pink Floyd one day after seeing AC for the first time, and it HIT me....the song was like PERFECT for Cloud. PERFECT! *shakes fist* I knew right then and there that i HAD to make an AMV for it. Like my first video, this one tells a story (dont you love those? I know i do...). In the beginning of the song, it's about how Cloud turns his back on the children because of all his self dislike, having not settled the emotions left over from the end of FF7. then in the first half of the middle, it's sort of about Cloud realizing what he's doing isn't helping anything at all. The second half of the middle is about Cloud "taking sword in hand" and actually fighting. Then in the end, it's him knowing in his heart that he has overcome his tendency to ignore problems instead of facing them. Or something like that. You'll see what i mean, ne?
  
  Compared to the few other Advent Children AMVs I've watched, this one is much lower key, but also, it's a little more soulful. I leave the lyrics to do the talking, and the expressions of the characters. Again, i didn't include any clips of people talking (because thats a pet peeve of mine... the only times characters should be moving their mouths in an amv is when there's lip syncing!) or clips of any nonrelevant characters...Sorry Kadaj, there just wasnt any room...! You'll get your own video someday, I promise. Tifa, Vincent, Marlene, and Denzel were all relevent... Marlene and Denzel represented the weak and weary...Vincent and Tifa are the ones influencing Cloud to stop turning away.
  
  Tools of the Trade: Windows Movie Maker 2....I know I said i was never going to use it again, but for some dastardly reason, AC wouldnt upload into Vegas..so I just went back to WMM2. It never froze though which is AMAZING compared to the horrors of last time... So yeah.. WMM2, and thats all.

  Enjoy and Please please please leave an opinion! Since our reason for creating is for people to enjoy, it's good to be told so every once in a while. For the work we amv creators do, dont you think you can put in your two cents?
