I won 2nd place (Category: Originality) and 10th place overall in sanyiaa, eatmySOULproductions and Tinchy2010's MIDNIGHT SUN - emotional - CONTEST!

I guess this would be my first character study!

This focuses on all the years and all the things Edward experienced before he ever met Bella. Some of the events are happy but most are tragic, as I figure that would be what Edward would think of more. Most of the events are United States centric simply because that's where the character exists.

All of the Edward photo-manipulations were done by me in Adobe Photoshop 7.

The events in order (although they are not chronological!):
Outbreak of Spanish Influenza
Martin Luther King's Final Speech
WWII
Atomic Bomb Testing
Stock Market Crash and the Great Depression
Hindenburg Disaster
Model-T Ford
Bombing of Pearl Harbor
Vietnam
The Beatles
John F. Kennedy's Assassination
Man on the Moon
Tiananmen Square
Gulf War
WWI
Space Shuttle Challenger
Hiroshima
9/11

The music is "Empty" by Ray LaMontague and I edited out certain lyrics that didn't fit the storyline.
Footage is from Summit Entertainment's Twilight and 20th Century.
Background artwork is from Deviant-Art
Program is Final Cut Pro 6

  • I've probably watched this video a dozen times. Totally addicted. Something struck me as really funny as I was watching it the last time. Edward in the breadlines of the great depression. Hehe, was he there for the free soup or the takers of free soup? /snickers

    Absolutely Love this video!!

  • I'm so glad you like it! It certainly would make an intriguing story I think, to find out what Edward was doing in soup kitchens. :P

  • That was amazing. The best Twilight video I've ever seen! You did a great job of capturing how Edward's eternal life must have been on this Earth, with all of the many awful things that have happened in our history. And how he didn't have a clue how much this 'fragile little human' would change his life.

    100/5

  • Wow, thank you so much!

  • what a great point of view about edward's life... i can't even imagine how it is to live for such a long time. your video is amazing! :)

  • Thanks! Yeah, the immensity of all the things he would have seen or experienced drove me to do the video. I love history!
