Description: |
It's finally done.
My tribute to the third season and all of its awesomeness--every single clip in this video came from Book Three, and I'm very, very more...pleased with the results. There's at least one clip from every episode included here.
The song is "Nightfall" by Blind Guardian, and some of you may not like it--the creator whose video I based this one off of said that it is an acquired taste, and I agree. It takes a few listens to gain a real appreciation, but once you enjoy it, you love it. I couldn't resist using this song for the season, as it fit so well and holds an epic feel of triumph and mythology that encompasses Avatar brilliantly.
This is definitely the video that I spent the most time and effort on so far--I sacrificed a number of clips for better ones, changed things around, and planned out almost every segment methodically. There are actually a few points where I deliberately softened the feel in order to make the follow-ups more impressive. The point of this video is to keep everything moving from beginning to end, without stop. I think I might have actually succeeded.
I've been working on this one for almost two months now, on-and-off, and I've finally produced my first post third-season music video. I started it the day before the finale aired and worked in spurts; some days I would work for an hour and get about ten or fifteen seconds in, other days I would work for six hours and finish a whole minute. Or thirty seconds. There's a five-second piece that actually took me about two hours to make, and I actually had to completely abandon the project for a few weeks when I got hung up on the musical interlude. Inspiration finally came, though (namely raven's latest video), and I started work again...finally finishing.
I kind of wish that I'd watched the finale more, but I'm pretty darn happy with the ending clips. I may improve later, though.
If you're still reading and haven't started watching, please, watch. If you already watched and are reading because you're interested, props to you.
Toph actually wound up getting a lot more clips than originally intended--which is still a horrifically low level. But Tiny Toph is worth quite a bit, so I think she's happy.
I have so much more to say about this, but I'm not going to...this thing is long enough. But you try working on a video for this long and putting in a short description. Mm.
Oh, plenty of credits to JimLad800! His Twilight Princess video to this song was the masterful inspiration and primary influence for this video--I'd say that he is probably the best vidder I've seen (no Avatar vids, but...Zelda's enough!). A number of my shots were directly referenced from his (guilty, but they ingrained themselves in my mind too well), so if you watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3h2_oYl76M ...you may pick up on a number of parallels.
I do not own the music. Blind Guardian does. "Nightfall" is the title.
I do not own the clips. Viacom does. Avatar: The Last Airbender.
What I DO own is the video. Don't redistribute on YouTube or claim it as your own--I didn't feel like putting my name in this one. Too many other clips to use. less
