Not one of my best (especially in comparison to Lifeless), but ya, it deserves some brownie points. Hoorah for no lyric matching in the least!
EDIT: ...What was I smoking? This is one of my bests [/edit]
Anyways, backstory here. This is what we call "fun homework". For those fimiliar with my 2nd AMV called Crawling In The Dark (done to Balto) it was done for school. Well, this one is too (except this is for university instead of highschool). I'm supposed to analyze a song or poem in a creative fashion. Nightwish has some VERY deep lyrics, so hell, might as well do it to a song who's meaning is rather debatable, namely Bless The Child. My interpretation? The song is about someone's loss of innocence and childhood. All those years you dream of growing up, but when you are grown, you pretty much notice it's a crapheap. There's no going back and your pretend world has vanished. This is a lot like how I felt after my 18th birthday (except for the fact that I had no childhood), so it was apropriate for me to do this song. Why ADGTH and Balto? Those were my favourite childhood movies, adding to the meaning of the song. I was going to change a lot of things in this, but ya, I have to do a write-up and it's all due this week 0-0. This took me pretty much 2 weeks to create, plus 4 days of downtime due to WMM being WMM, PLUS add on about a week where I'm so sick I can barely do anything to add onto it.
I do warn you that the AMV is rather...erm...blinky. Yes, I did butcher the blinks a bit. Youtube is being a moron as always and has put it a bit on a lagging spree and turning some sexy scenes into not-so-sexy scenes (Steele falling off the cliff is a good example. That looked PERFECT on my computer). Also, don't ask about why the Balto clips are a bit choppy at times. Don't know why. And congrats ROI, you have now been my longest AMV, as well as the largest in size (a bit over 51 MB. Lifeless is 2nd at 49 MB).
If anyone hasn't figured this out yet, all AMVs are done for fan and self-educational purposes
