Footage: Final Fantasy XIII.
Music: "Iridescent" by Linkin Park.
As
most of you know by now, I've had a pretty rough 6 months, both
physically and emotionally. In order to lessen the physical pain, I've
been working on expressing my emotional pain more. This video has been
one of those outlets for me. This song has also been a useful tool in
helping me face negative emotions and let them go. Like the chorus says,
"Remember all the sadness and frustration, and let it go." Good advice
for anyone. We can't hide from the past, and we can't run from our
emotions. The best thing to do is face them head on, and then move on.
This
is the first video I've completely mapped out in my head before editing
(of course I had plenty of time to brainstorm while I was physically
incapable of editing) but of course it didn't go entirely as planned.
The editing gods threw a few twists and turns my way, some bad and some
good. I didn't get to do some of the things I planned on, but on the
other hand some parts came together perfectly without me even doing
anything. Also, I had to get the footage with a video camera, so that's
why it's shaky in a few parts. I was going to fix it, but we had major technical difficulties, so I had to make due. I also had to forfeit a few edits that would have helped it a lot in favor of uploading it by the time I'd set. Next time I might just give a day and not a time, LOL. But, hopefully it doesn't suck too bad and you like it anyway...
Those
who have played this game in its entirety need to know that I still
haven't beat the game. That's why the video only has footage from the
first half. So no spoilers please! And as those who have played the game
know, the song I chose goes well with the
theme of the game. The Eidolons teach the characters the same thing this
song teaches those who listen to it.
