MY BABY IS BORN. T^T Seriously, I love this vid to pieces, even if not everything in it is perfect. I started working on this vid about a week or so after the wonderful MemsNtRain finished the lovely background I have with Snow/Lightning, Hope/Vanille, and Genesis/Serah. I fell so in love with my BG, I just HAD to make something as a special tribute to it and the 3 couples on it.

Also, this vid, being so loved by me, has multiple purposes and dedications. They are:
-a (belated in most cases) birthday dedication to my real life friends Jess and Hannah, as well as my YT friends BohemianFallacy, heavenly09, and EternityTifa (it's an early gift for her). ♥
-a special thank you to MemsNtRain for the background. ♥
-my audition for Densetsu Studios. I knew I needed something recent that showed my masking, and happened to be working on this when I saw the auditions. I missed out on several studios run by editors I admire, and decided I wouldn't miss out on this one.
-Edit: This is now a (hopefully temporary) audition for Tabula Rasa. As for my character choices, here's a link with that info:

So yes, 3 couples in this vid, all of which have broken up, reflect on their history together, then get back together again when they realize that despite all their fighting back then, they were also much happier together. And fyi, no one side or the other is meant to seem more at fault in any of the couples; both sides argued and fought, both sides screamed at their loved one. The girls aren't the only ones at fault, nor are the boys.

At the end, the couples are shown getting back together in the order I believe makes the most sense.
-Hope/Vanille: They were close from the start, and didn't argue as much as the other two couples. They just were both very sensitive, and tried dealing with their individual problems by themselves. But as much as they tried handling things alone, they hated being alone, especially after being together.
-Genesis/Serah: She was his goddess, whom he loved and adored, and he was her hero, always there for her. He had no muse in life, as no one could match up to her in his eyes. She had no one who would and could always come to her rescue, with a sword or with words. They longed for the divine feeling they felt when they were together.
-Snow/Lightning: While he would want to make up after any and all fights, she wasn't so forgiving, either of him or herself. When he approached wanting to reconcile, she ran away, having too hard a time trying to get past the bitterness she held in her heart. But all it took was a touch of his hand, and she was reminded how much more hurt she felt being away from him, someone who truly loved her for everything she was.

Note #1: masking Genesis's hair = x.x Especially when it's so damn hard to discern his hair from what's behind it.
Note #2: red sepia scenes are flashbacks.
Note #3: lol, Genesis is in all 3 preview shots I could've chosen from. XD

this video was done very well, the only thing that gives away genesis is the fact that he's graphics are poorer than serah's. great job though, i love this vid :D

Thank you for the compliments. Tenderness was an important feeling to include in this, so I'm glad it was conveyed to you.

You did an excellent job using the song and scenes together to tell the story.

Very tender.
