Drama/Romance/Fun? How does that work? Remember, this is a Rumiko Takahashi series we're talking about.
This vid was almost renamed to "Kagome vs. Kikyo" but I smacked that title down faster than my friend could suggest. As far as character analysis goes, pay attention to the beat of the lead guitar and the lyrics in sequence. The strobes appear for a reason to compare and contrast Kagome and Kikyo. Some people who haven't seen the series may think all of the long dark-haired girls in this vid are Kagome. That's EXACTLY what I'm trying to do; using various poses of both Kikyo and Kagome armed with longbow and arrow.
What's Inu Yasha's problem? Technically, they're the same soul! (AHH SPOILER WARNINGS)
This vid has a few spoilers, but nothing I'd call story wrecking. The ending came out differently than expected and I'm beginning to understand the meaning of action sync vs. lyric TO action sync. This adds new depth to a vid when lyrics either do the opposite of action or a deeper meaning is meant to be found.
Using the motion effect, (which now I know how to utilize the "breathing" effect in Ermac's "Closer" vid [this effect is NOT in my vid though]) I've created a somewhat, "dancing" image vid. Take note of the sync and also, NO SUBS! EVERY SCENE I PICKED HAS PRACTICALLY NO SUBS! ALL OF WHICH WERE EDITED OUT TO THE FRAME!
Some of you may take note that I DID pay attention to the subtitle removal guides. ^_^ Tanks to those who made them! Without further ado, CHECK OUT THE VID!

Well, this vid is part of "Feel the Rhythm" so a "dance" style song is involved. However, when I look at the whole video, this thing is hard for me to categorize. I'm hoping some of you will help me to do so.
This is a somewhat "angry" vid so to speak. Many of the scenes depict emotions off the negative side of the scale. Rather, there's nothing "light" about this video at all. There may be a smile but overall, I made this vid with anger in mind. With SOOO many episodes and SOOO many characters in the Inu Yasha Manga / Anime, it was REAL hard finding the exact footage I needed. Mostly Kikyo's appaearances. The quality takes a dip sadly from time to time but I tried my best to make it as good as possible.
BTW, don't try to adjust your screen's settings due to the "four sided" letter boxing frame I made. It's there for a reason. This video stretched my limits in terms of applying fx and scene selection. I like this video. A lot. This is also probably the first video that I'VE made which I believe can be placed in my AMV Masters folder.
Be wary of "exact" lyric matching. I almost tossed them out the window. In "Aluminum Studios" terms, the lyrics don't make this video, not like my other "Feel the Rhythm" videos. There's a great deal of symbolism to be had with the scenes chosen. One minor way I interpreted a lyric: "Far Away..." I displayed scenes of mostly Kagome. You'll get the idea once you've viewed this video.
The fans may probably enjoy this video and understand its symbolisms more than those who've never seen the series before, but I'm trying to build a story. Somewhat disconnected it may seem since the episodes used were so damn far apart. And so, I give you the end of "Feel the Rhythm".
