This was a video that I started long ago, when I was still in undergrad. Digging through my files, I started this video in 2010. I started this video when I was dealing with I was dealing with a first major death in the family. At the time, I had trouble sleeping and when I would sleep, I had bad dreams. So I would edit this video late at night until I was exhausted and fell asleep.
As final projects for undergrad came around, the project got put on hold and forgotten when I entered grad school. In December 2016, I graduated with a Masters in Fine Art in Animation and moved back home while looking for a job in the industry. It was during this time that I got into a car accident while doing an animation test for a prospective game company and so I missed that opportunity. In addition, my grandmother, who I helped take of passed away. I was grounded because flying out for interviews was hindering progress in my recovery. So I became very demotivated work on my own animation. That's when I found this project file laying around.
I was surprised to see how much of the video was finished and how little I had left to do. So I decided to finish it and it was therapeutic. I'm not a creative person in the traditional sense. Yes, I went to art school, but I am horrible at drawing. I can't handle a DSLR camera well. I don't play a musical instrument... Well you get the point. Editing AMVs was the only creative outlet that I had besides animating, which I did exclusively for school. Ultimately, it's what lead me to become an animator. However, I didn't edit while in school. I felt like all my creative energy was spent and I didn't have time or energy to edit anymore. This was a return to my roots and after I completed this video, I began animating again. I am feeling a lot better now and I'm in talks with another game studio. My hope is that one day it'll be my animation that you guys are editing to.

Thank you for the kind words!
Теперь о самом произведении. В общем-то, это драма на основе сюжета «Final Fantasy VII», смонтированная из кадров полнометражки «Последняя фантазия VII: Дети пришествия» и как я понял из нарезанного в видео, написанного в предусловии и проговоренного в звуковой дорожке (репером Эминэмом) – всё это рассказывает нам о боли от утрат. В центре показываемого противостояние между Клодом и Сефиротом… да, собственно как и в оригинале! Сделано всё это чувствительно и красиво, красиво как чисто визуально-технически (Ну имея такие кадры, в качестве первоисточника… сами понимаете!), так и красиво с эмоциональной точки зрения. Сентиментальности – хоть отбавляй… впрочем, для любителей сериала ролевых игр «Предельная Фантазия» это скорее в плюс, нежели в минус… но не настаиваю!
Ну тут много примеров. на самом деле))
Реп и Финалка, в прицнипе, сосушествуют, но на грани фола.
Видны старания как-то обыграть вокал, но внутрикадровой очень не хватает, а с учетом слива динамики так и вовсе беда.
Ну и затянуто все. В целом тащит больше красивый плавный исходник, чем старания автора.
