Firstly, I'm NOT disputing Seal's version of this song and if you can listen to it without picturing his face and wanting to die, I take my hat off to you. Sadly, I can't and so I used Angela's version. Whilst its not as bold or powerful as Seal's, it has this fantastic instrumental piece throughout that really suits the delicate feeling i wanted for this video. Its very light and bright. Although in some places the tune makes you think there should be some fast actioney scenes, when you actually use them it feels like the video overpowers the song and thats not what i wanted, so its a slow paced video with some emotional scenes to pick up the pace. I understand a lot of people may not like this version of the song and would have preferred the other but please, appreciate it (or hate it) for what it is and not what it isnt. :)
This video is really simple. I dont like editing game footage much because it doesnt require tampering, i only added effects to add some atmosphere and fix quality issues. when you have to zoom in to get rid of subtitles, there /are/ issues. I had this idea, wanted to do something with Zack and Aeris and kept it fairly plain as im currently juggling two huge Bleach projects among a few other things. And y'know, i do still have a life as hard as that may be to believe. XD
I think this song really suits these two, unlike Cloud and Tifa, you can see them both for who they are and not who the fans have made them out to be. Whilst i have no beef with Tifa, Cloud has really been bastardized with Advent kiddys, he lost his humanity and became this sulky, emo, badass fanboy dream come true. Zack on the other hand is a polar opposite! He smiles, he laughs, he takes things in his stride and he isnt afraid to show his emotions without making him look like a simpering idiot. coughTIDUScough And Aeris is just pure love, i honestly cant say enough good things about her character, she just has this spark. The same spark i see in Orihime, Sakura and Atoli, you can just see how much they care and i love that, I tried to focus on how both Aeris and Zack help Cloud through his stupid phase. I know its a bland video but i hope someone likes it. :D
