This video was well done from a technical standpoint, but the overall tone of the clips you used make a really jarring tone clash with the light and bouncy tune of the song. Advent Children just doesn't fit very well with light and upbeat.
Don't take this as an insult, because it's not meant to be one. You really are skilled, I just think you could have picked a better show to go with this song.
@UrpleSquirrel Constructive criticism is always welcome ^_^ It'd been swimming around in my head for a while and I was bored. It did take a while to find clips that wouldn't clash *too* badly, but actually, I paid the most attention to which characters got assigned what "roles" (ex. Cid as the Eagle, Aerith as the Salmon, Bahamut SIN as the ogre, Denzel as Mabon, etc.).
I can't believe someone's made a song about culhwch and Olwen, - i'm well impressed! i'm from Wales and my name's Olwen you see, and that was my favourite book when I grew up! xx
@chibirosa i had to read it at ucla....for my general education, and instead of wanting to read it, i just listened to the song HAHA. but it was interesting so it kinda persuaded me to read it eventually :)
@hhuntahh Um, a teacher at UCLA pointed this out? Seriously? Well, I feel awfully embarrassed now, lol. Not exactly what I expected when I made the video out of boredom....
Wow, someone was able to actually add something meaningful to that animation. Hats off to ya, the movie was pretty stupid, but you managed to make it good. :-)
Awesome song, and awesome video! I learned about this song from a Narina fanfiction called "The Guardian". It totally fit the context of the story, too!
I've done a couple of othe AMVs since this one - September (Daughtry) set to Crisis Core and Citizen Soldier (yes, it was a moral imperative) set to FFVII (CC, AC, and DoC), FFX, and a few scenes from KH. Let me know what you think of them? (i know, i've got pretty eclectic tastes in music ^_^)
I'd like to, but I haven't bee struck by inspiration for the other songs on the Trial of Lancelot CD. I'd like to give Prydwen Sails Again a try, it might work with Crisis Core now I've got clips for it.
What about the Green Knight or May Queen CDs? Those are chalk full of Arthurian songs.
I always thought that the song "May Queen" would work well for the relationship between Aeris, Zack, and Cloud or the "Lady of the Lake" for Aeris and Cloud...
I know that, trust me I've been researching myths and legends since I was little. But a lot of people don't, which is why I put it in the description as "king arthur". If I had just said "arthur" and they didn't know the other names, it would have made no sense and the humor of him being represented here by Sephiroth would have been lost.
culhwch and olwen was suposed to be the old celtic origin of the english "King Arthur". In this story Arthur, who is there just a mighty leader of a warriorband and not a King!, helps Culhwch to get his promised girl, which is the dauhghter of a giant. Later Arthur was transformed into a King and his warriors became noble knights.

Heehee, thanks a bunch! Like I said earlier, I think it's really funny that I made Sephy, Kadaj, and the gang be Arthur and his knights.

I'm a big Heather Dale and FF7 fan. I really like how you blended myth with present. Are you going to make any more videos with Heather Dale? :)
