The Timeless Voice of Kenshin

Post by upupdowndown » Mon Aug 07, 2006 9:22 pm

This is my first video. I decided on using the Sinatra song "My Way" with the OVA Reflection because it so perfectly articulates the life of Kenshin.
This is a lip sync video that does not use quick cuts. It's pace is to the words and not the instruments. I spent a lot of time trying to get the lip sync right. The overall theme of the vid is of a man reaching the end and reflecting (get it ;-)) upon the life he lived.

Here is a link to the video:

I hope you enjoy it and I would really appreciate your opinions.
Thanks!

I copied this from wikipedia, it explains in better detail the choices I made.
The lyrics of "My Way" tell the story of a man who is nearing death, and introspectively looks back at his life whilst fictionally speaking to a friend who is sitting next to him.

The man's personality as described in the song involves a strong-willed, confident and determined man who is not reliant on others to progress further through life. He is happy with how his life has turned out, and what he has achieved; he acknowledges that he too has regrets and has suffered sadness. However, he remains upbeat and amused that he has made it this far:

"And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing..."
"To think, I did all that, and may I say, not in a shy way"
"Oh no, oh no not me, I did it my way"
