Finally, after who knows how long (a month and a half, actually), I have FINALLY made another music video! And it includes clips from 314 and 315 (a lot of them, actually).
I've been waiting to make this AMV for months now. I believe I first heard it in January when Wishsong214 suggested I make it once we had Sokka rescuing Suki...after listening to the song/watching it over and over again in a Final Fantasy AMV on YouTube, I had an idea of what I wanted to do with it. I had planned it out even before I knew what clips I would be using. Naturally, the clips I got were completely different from what I was expecting, and as a result, the video turned out VERY different from my original concept. One of the big changes was the exchange of the Maiko and Sukka verses; I'd originally intended for there to only be a bare focus on Mai and Zuko, but Wishsong214 convinced me to give Mai the first verse, and I think it turned out really well. Katara gave me a lot of difficulty, but I'm satisfied with the result...and Suki's bit was not quite what I wanted, ultimately, but I'm pleased. ALL of the refrains make me very, very happy, though.
I drew heavily on influence from the original AMV I got hooked on--if you look this song up on YouTube, the vid should be the first one you see. It's a REALLY good vid, and I couldn't help borrowing some elements. But I still retained enough originality with this one, I think. I also tried something of a new style with the clips, aiming more for metaphors than the literal interpretations. It all makes sense in my head, and I hope it works for the viewers.
Please refrain from comments that contain spoilers for the series finale!
Thanks are owed to Wishsong214 for helping to edit this thing and suggesting it in the first place, as well as to the creator of the vid on YouTube.
Music is "I Want to Save You" by Something Corporate.
Clips belong to Nickelodeon and their show, "Avatar: The Last Airbender."
The video is mine.
