Option 2 -- Your arrival

For MemoRised Pictures studio

What if your arrival was due to departure? Every character has a back story, sometimes that back story is not known until very late into the plot, and usually that's how a character is shown to develop. But what if that back story is known? There's a whole new world available to see a character's development, which is why I chose to introduce Yuna through departure. Every arrival comes after a former departure, and I wanted to tackle this option from a different angle than what can be assumed on initial thought.
There are always at least two perspectives to every thought or idea, and I wanted to mirror my choice through my videos narrative/perspective. The text on the screen is from Clouds' point of view, yet we can still hear Yuna's thoughts from her perspective too.
I had fun making this, even though I had to rush the masking towards the end and it looks a little average. Originally I was going to use Fang, but alas, I haven't finished the game yet and I don't have any of my ff13 clips on my laptop at my uni flat (or enough space on my HD) so I decided to play it safer, with more of a creative curve than the expected. Let's hope that it is enough!
I must be crazy for challenging myself so, when I'm very busy with university, but giving myself 5 days to complete a small project (about the size of a mep part) -- I thought, "If I can find time for an audition then I can find time for the meps!" and I must say, this is the quickest I have ever... /ever/ edited! I feel very accomplished!!
I'm glad that I auditioned and managed to finish something which I consider quite beautiful, whether the outcome be the one I want it to be or not, just participating in the auditions has given way to a creative outburst, and a video that I am very proud of! ^^

Story Summary:
Cloud is left to lament over his lost love. Yuna had to sacrifice herself, she knew that. Whilst she was afraid, whilst she knew she had to die, she couldn't let Cloud interfere, no. Clouds world had to come crashing down, so did hers, so that everyone else's could be safe. She gave herself courage, not knowing what was along the way, what was waiting for her....She heard her heartbeat, was she alive, did her sending work, and was the world safe? Her vision focussed, she was in a place unknown... and behind her she felt a presence. Behind her, she felt her calling. She must go with this woman, she knew that. Something was going down and her help was needed. Something was wrong. It didn't matter if the journey was dangerous, if she didn't survive, then at least she tried... it was not in vain... was it?

This was stunning and it turned out brilliant! And the masking is flawless! (And also the words) , I also love the voice over for this. It just made it all very angelic.

I also noticed this was uploaded 4 hours ago @@ *Works out timing* That means 4am-ish! Geez woman!

Totally enthralling; elegant scripting, lovely va by acidpopsicle and Yuna's never looked lovelier than in your marvelous video. Gorgeous, gorgeous work.

It turned out so lovely and deliciously beautiful, and you did so well with the audio mixing, along Acidpopsicle voicing Yuna. It felt so ethereal and yet haunting all the same! Mweee, good luck, Sarah! *0*
