Princess Tutu- Versinke im Farbenmeer

I wanted to make the amv a little different, but then it would have been alittle too colorful I guess :S

Anyway, this was a secret santa gift on the Princess Tutu community. It still felt unfinishedafter I've send it to my giftee, so I worked on it a little after the exchange. Now I'm not sure if I overdid t a little with the effects XD.But I'm getting tired of this video, so I'll keep it the way it is.
My giftee got it without the watermark of course.

Song: Veitstanz by Subway to Sally (might post lyrics some other time)
Anime: Princess Tutu
Software: Vegas Movie Studio 9

I think the video is pretty much self explanatory?

Edit:

The hardest part first, the translation :D

(St.) Vitus dance

fearful take to my hells from you
not able to find you, swearing at the same time
jumping, dancing and spinning
only seeing dazzling lights

still sending the dragon anew
spiking my skin with thorns
jumping around the house in the vitus dance
wrestling with you in front of the fire

everything turns around me
the world sinks into an ocean of color
when I'm dancing
dancing with you

lusting after you killing the doubt
blushing in the shadow circle
when I'm naked as I was born
half found, half lost
half pulled, half sunken
half died out of thirst, half drunken
lying next to you at midnight
fullishly cheat on you out of me ( don't ask I don't really get it in german either)

everything turns around me
the world sinks into an ocean of color
when I'm dancing
dancing with you

there are mirror shards in my head
drunken I fall into bane
between death and eternal life
there has to be a third option

everything turns around me
the world sinks into an ocean of color
when I'm dancing
dancing with you

lol, yes I totally screwed up Xd Please don't kill me

Right now to the story:
I developed the story as I kept working on it, and it's a little bit more detailed in my head
So, in this version, being Princess Tutu is more of a curse than a blessing to Ahiru. She took the Pendant because she wanted to be a beautiful ballerina and be accepted by the people around her. But people are obsessed with her beauty and/or her power. She can't take the pendant off of course.
At the beginning, Fakir is watching Princess Tutu dance ( the sqare is supposed to be his vision) until Princess Tutu sees him. After asking who he might be he takes her as an enemy ( maybe a raven?) even though she tells him she's not. He attacks her, but after he realizes how scarred she is, he leaves her.
But he can't forget about her dance and wants to see her again, Tutu also feels feels attracted to him.
Raven!Mytho shows up and asks her to come with him. Tutu feels moved and wants to go with him, but Fakir shows up and declares that he'll protect Tutu from the Raven ( the pink is supposed to show tutu blushing). They fight until Tutu jumps between them and tries to stop the two. But instead, Raven!Mytho goes berserk and attacks tutu so that she turns back into Ahiru. Fakir takes the girl with him to take care of her. Then they fall in love more or less ( to lazy to explain every clip XD) and Ahriu thinks he might be able to break the curse of the pendant.
But after the sweet moments, Krähe shows up and takes Tutu as an hostage. She wants the same power as Tutu. But Fakir won't let this happen and attacks the crow and her minions. Sadly, she's able to injure him gravely and he sinks into the water, only his blood showing at the waters surface. Ahiru is shocked and desperate ( people might not see it clearly but the color changes slowly to black and white right there.)
She gives up and wants to drown herself in the water herself, to be by Fakirs side. But Fakir isn't really dead and comes to her rescue, telling her to not give up. Encouraged, she turns into Princess Tutu and defeats all the ravens around her. The two believe to be save, but Drosselmeyer was watching all the time and wants Tutu ,too, so he takes her to his realm. Desperate, Fakirs only option at this moment is to write a story about Tutu to bring her back. As he hears her voice in his head he starts to write, trying to help her. Tutu also hears his words, or rather what he is writing and they try to work together to overcome the situation. At last, Fakir realizes that she also saved him just like he saved her from the darkness. They reunite at the end. I leave it to you if they get a happy end or not.

...damn came out longer than I wanted it to be.
Since i named the amv " Versinke im Farbenmeer"( " Sink into an ocean of colours"), you might relize that I wanted to work with colours in this one, to prtray feelings or the situation. The black and white stands for the emptiness in their life. But, well, I think that didn't work out as good as I hoped.

I loved it! This is really well made, and the effects do work well. I'm intrigued by the storyline; what exactly is going on? Lyrics would be nice! I really enjoyed watching this!

@clairedelune2 sorry for the late reply, I'll do the lyrics soon and add a little about the story, I just wonder how much I'm going to mess up the translation <.<

[clairedelune2]

@rhapsody14 Yay! It won't matter to me, because how would I know if you messed up the translation? I don't speak German :) I'm sure it'll be fine!

[rhapsody14]

@clairedelune2 you'll know once you read the translation and don't get anything XD I've edited the description now

[clairedelune2]

Thanks for your explanation! It was more or less the kind of story i got from the video. Thanks so much for doing the translation as well! I really love all the thought you put into your videos; they're great :)
