Hey people, long time no see It's a great pleasure for me to present you my new AMV, on which I was working for approximately two years.
Well, I would like to tell so much about this video, but I feel, that I should put the words aside and let the work tell everything itself. I just wanna wish it to find it's audience and have a happy independent life, for we now finally free each other from our very long ans strong embrace. And I am really very happy I could reach this point through a very hard and serpentine way.
I hope you will like it and feel the emotions and passion which danced in my heart while I was working on this project throughout these years ^______^
normally the "and it was all a dream" is a cliched way to end things, but in this video it put a new perspective on the first part since all the colors and the music made it feel like a dream that slowly became more intense and turned into a nightmare.

Great job!
Thank you very much. I'm very glad you liked it And I'm really glad you got the ending thing (I'll give an expanded explanation below)

I, do, however, disagree with the above comment because I think keeping it the way it was made it keep its uniqueness and avoid the idea of realism.
Hey~ Haven't heard from you lately ^^ Thanks for the feedback. And wow, my style is unique??? I am just super happy
Also, I was doubtful about the ending too, and it made me think a lot before deciding to end the vid like that. And, in fact, I would be satisfied with the work even without the ending, which is a sort of "explanation" to everything going before it. But I felt that the audience won't get the idea without this little trick, and that in the end everybody would just tell me "hey, that's pretty good, but I really didn't get what's going on the screen and why you did this and not that, etc.". Thus, I finally thought that the accent put in the end wouldn't spoil the work at all, but would give the viewer additional feelings about the previous part.
Because
Spoiler :
when you watch the vid without seeing the ending yet, you just feel something, which you, I suppose, cannot fully explain to yourself. But seeing the guy waking up and breathing as if he had seen the most horrible nightmare in the world, makes you look at the things in the beginning from the different point of view. Haven't you ever seen a dream, which, when you are dreaming, seems very bright and interesting to you, but when you wake up and recollect the images you've seen, it makes you tremble and sweat, cause now, in reality, it seems so horrible? I tried to show that feeling in the vid, so that's why I needed an isolation from the basic style of vid and the feeling of reality.
But anyways it's fantastic that people have different opinions about the ending. That gives me the feeling, that the vid have managed to touch the viewers' minds and hearts somehow
awesome it's clear that a lot of thought and inspiration was behind this video and i appreciate that. the sync and fresh source combination made it really enjoyable to watch. a bit neutral about the ending but i don't think it detracts from the video at all. great job!
also makes me want to finally get around to watching mononoke

Wow, thanks a lot! ^_^
And yeah, Mononoke is definitely worth watching
I loved the video. I left a review on it. Just the timing, the feel of the video through out the whole thing was great. Then as I'm watching I was like this feels like some type of weird dream, and then the ending was like well that just happened.
Nice work!
