Raggedstar - WR - Carnival Of Rust - Tribute to Kiba & Cheza


UPDATE: This AMV won 2nd place in xEmptyParadisex's AMV contest

Made for xEmptyParadisex's AMV contest. It's my first Youtube contest, so yay. Would've done something more active, but this is what happens when you give me deadlines. Something faster and having a lot more beats would be difficult to complete in only 18 days. Geeze, this is a slow song and it was done in 14.

Sooo, ya, tribute to Cheza & Kiba (though I threw in a bit of Darcia). Been simply obsessed with this song for almost a year and wanted to do an AMV to it since February. Gotta love depressing love songs.

Umm...ya...I use sepia tone a lot. Song is called "Carnival of RUST", so using a rusty brown-ish colour a lot is a no brainer.

I read "Carnival Of Rust" being a metaphor/symbol for worn down or ending love (a carnival being something fun, but a carnival isn't much fun if left in the rain and turns to rust). Kiba's instinct is to be with Cheza and reach Paradise, though so does Darcia. Both of them have a fierce lust for Cheza, though Kiba is the only one that loves her a bit more with compassion (hence where I showed a lot of pissy Darcia shots when it said "where enough is not the same it was before"). Hmm, now that I really think about it, if Kiba's love for Cheza is a wolf instinct, does he truly love her? Stupid question at first, but ya, think about it.

Song: Carnival Of Rust
Artist: Poets Of The Fall
