Экшн со звуками "из исходника". Есть некоторые вопросы к качеству этих самых исходников, но драйвовый монтаж всё компенсирует.

I am SO happy this project is finally finished! I have been dying to share it with you guys. I had started working on this already in September 2019. Hard to believe I’d been working on this AMV for almost a year now…. but I took a lot of breaks in between hahaha.

So I’ve been obsessed with this whole “retrowave" comeback trend for awhile now, and I knew I’d eventually want to do a full AMV centered around this theme, but wasn’t quite sure yet how to go about it, and didn’t have a solid idea of what I wanted to do. What ultimately inspired me to start on this video was the work of ReyNeroKun, I think I watched an MEP track that he had done, and I was like YES, this is what I want to do, but on a larger scale. I started trying to watch more like cyberpunk content and movies (like Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell), to get more ideas visually of how I wanted the world of my AMV to look. And A LOT of browsing Pinterest! That’s like my go-to these days for coming up with mood boards, and visuals. Oh and that Panini music video by Lil Naz was also a huge inspiration for this. So yeah, those inspired the overall setting/theme of this AMV.

As far as the context and story, a lot of it was pulled based on what was provided through the scenes of the original anime. I loved how subtly queer it was, without it being an in-your-face, overly sexualized Yuri or whatever, as so often is the case in anime. And I appreciated the complexity of the relationship (or so was my interpretation from the scenes - I did not watch this anime in full). Based on my interpretation, the relationship/sexuality between these two girls is not clearly defined. The lines are blurred, as is sometimes the case in real life, and that is fine. So I really enjoyed exploring the relationship between these two characters, and defining a relationship between them that’s not necessarily lovers, but not “just friends" either. It’s more complex, and that’s what I wanted to portray.

An underlying theme, that plays as the subtext throughout the entire video, is an unavoidable natural disaster, which I feel kinda relates to the mindset we are in right now, although not on an “end-of-the-world” scale. (However, lately it sometimes feels like the end of the world…) When I started this AMV, there was no “coronavirus" yet hahaha, so I had no idea how this context was going to fit into today’s world. I feel bad to release something so gloomy and sad, with everything going on. If nothing else, I hope this can serve as entertainment, and a 3-minute distraction from our currently unpredictable lives right now. I am wishing everyone well-being and safety.

A fun little Dragon Maid AMV I made for AKROSS, but sadly, it ended up getting disqualified due to an uploading error. Oh well, you live and learn.

This AMV is also holds value to me b/c 1) I've never done so much masking and lip syncing in one AMV before, so this really took a while, and 2) it's my first video using a KyoAni anime (and also b/c I just ❤❤ this anime!). Since the fire occured this past summer, I've been trying to see if I could make a tribute AMV to honor their many amazing works, but I could never find the time due to my other AMVs (and endless classes), so hopefully in the future, I'll get to it when I have the chance.
