The WORLD - Nightmare
Warnings (cause I know most of you hate reading my descriptions):
The WORLD - Nightmare
Warnings (cause I know most of you hate reading my descriptions): Spoilers, clips taken from the OVA "Alchemist vs. Homunculi," the trailers for "Curse of the Crimson Elixer" and "Kami o Tsugu Shoujo,", as well as the opening to the Fan-game "Bluebird's Illusion" (yes, I have that. No, I don't know where the hell I got it, but it's been sitting on my comp since before I even downloaded the eps, and I figure I should probably put it to use now. XD)
The subbed version is in the process of being posted, FYI. ^_^ It will be a vid response to this. FYI-- the transmutation circle towards the middle says "Death" ^_^
Lyrics:
Within the spreading darkness, We exchanged vows of revolution
An evil flower that sprouted because it was loved
Because there's no point letting anyone interfere
With everything that will come about from now on
The future that the forbidden fruit fortells
The town that has forgotten reasoning
The present is distorted black
Dreams... Turn into ideals
Why? Am I a broken saviour?
Everyone wished for a "Finale"
Within the spreading darkness, We exchanged vows of revolution
An evil flower that sprouted because it was loved
Because there's no point letting anyone interfere
With everything that will come about from now on
Someday, I'll show you
A bright and shining sky
Why? Am I a broken saviour?
Everyone dreamt of a "Paradise"
Within the spreading darkness, We exchanged vows of revolution
An evil flower that sprouted because it was loved
Because there's no point letting anyone interfere
With everything that will come about from now on
Someday, I'll show you
A bright and shining world
(Warning: I'm whining a bit here. Sorry ahead of time.)
This is one of those amvs that SEEMED like a good idea when I started it. I like the song (Nightmare actually seems to have quite a few good ones ^_^), I like the anime, the anime seems to match the lyrics. Great! All the things I need for a good amv!! ... Or so I thought. Unfortunately, this amv has probably something close to a full minute (and a half? I dunno...) of lyricless music. That is my nemesis on the best of days, and for this particular amv it exhausted and frustrated me to no end-- which I think you can kinda see at some (or maybe all) of the lyricless parts. Not to mention WMM was, literally, moving slower than a snail with it's legs cut off, and freezing every two minutes. I'm not a patient person, and I was highly tempted to start beating my head repeatedly against the computer desk. -.- So just so we know, none of the clips at those parts have anything in particular to do with anything in particular. I mean, I tried keeping the theme of the song in mind, but... Strangely enough, this is one of the first amvs I've ever done the last clip LAST on. XD
I also experienced this problem that happens sometimes where I can hear the beat while I'm making the vid, but afterwards it disappears, so... some of the music parts look a bit strange now (like at 2:08-2:13). Or maybe that's just to me. *shrugs* So I apologize for glitching/thrown off timing, and for that.
For those who have never made amvs, for the record, they can take a LONG time. Depending on the amv, the song, the special effects, and the cooperation of the vid maker, it can take up to fifteen minutes to do five seconds worth of footage. Sometimes longer.
(End whining. I think. O.o)
The part at about 00:58 where is flashes oddly was inspired by what I believe is the original music video to this song. Some of the other parts were inspired by the Death Note opening. ^_^
Also, for the requesters... I'm not gonna lie to you (I hate doing that, and there's not much point in it anyway). I admit I'm having some difficulties with some of the amvs that have been requested. I am doing my best to get them done, and I appreciate you all being so very patient, so... just know that I AM working on them, just not getting them done anywhere near as quick as I'd hoped. ):
Anyway, I made this vid because I promised I'd try and get more neutral/het vids added to my collection. Which is why I'm dedicating this to kibbakoga (who left me a bunch of awesome comments on lots of my vids despite disliking yaoi! ^_^), jonjondaleprechaun (because I can't remember if you like yaoi or not, and I think it's about time I made you SOMETHING since LustxEd is lagging so much), and zeowynda312 (because... well, you're just awesome! XD). Also, I realise I've never done a full-length foreign language (for me) amv before, so I wanted to give it a go. ^_^
I'm aware that the clips probably don't match the lyrics PERFECTLY (and I mean the order the lyrics are said-- I know they don't all match the meaning perfectly), but... well, I only know a very little bit of Japanese, so this was the best I could do with what I had. ^_^
(This was so much longer than I originally intended... T_T)
