「信義」Fear of Failure

"They all sacrificed themselves for you, but in the end, is that truly a kindness? They've only moved the responsibilities unto your shoulders. They've left you the Fear of Failure. But that isn't all is it, there's the Fear of Death, the Fear of Loneliness, and also the Fear of Pain."

The Project:
I've been working on this since the beginning of June, or rather the beginning of summer as so it's become my summer project! Hurrah! And i got it to finally render just in time too because school starts next Tuesday. It's actually been done for about 1 to 2 weeks or so but I waited for the rest of the blu ray releases and replaced the dvd versions. I had to make it as beautiful as possible. (By the way, go buy the blu ray! It's so gorgeous! :'D ) It was also delayed because my computer that I usually use to render and edit was giving me serious problems and kept glitching, freezing, saying I didn't have enough memory, among other things, as such I tried my other computer.I had to go through a ton to get it to actually load in Vegas but I finally got it to work and after 4 hours of 4 different renderings of this video it came out perfect, no glitches, or anything! So that's the dramatic story of this video's creation. It's pretty much the life story of Sony Vegas. :'P

My Thoughts: (like you'd want to know them.)
This is by far my favorite video of everything I've ever made. It's special to me because I took so much time and effort on it and tried new things and new styles. (one part that was about 2 seconds took me 8 hours to finish..yeah, I took a lot of time) I really adore this show and it was so much fun to use a lot of the vast characters that this show contains. Even though I wasn't able to use everyone (like Free, I'm sorry I didn't use you) I got a lot of them in and that's quite an accomplishment since this show has a butt-load of characters. Not to mention the fact the majority of characters are comedy-centric characters which is difficult because this is such a serious song...Now the song! One of the reasons I chose this song is because there are very few videos using this song or band. I love unique songs with amv's and not repeating something that everyones seen over and over again. And the song is just so cool!

Random: (you really don't have to read or view this at all)
I decided I'd post pictures of Dunny's (google them) I painted a little while back. Why? Because they'll probably never have a chance to have a rational reason to be posted for the world to see ever again. So they are here to celebrate the release of this video! Haha..yeah.Here's the link to the album to view them if you want. And yes, I messed up on them a lot, but it was still fun to do!

Special Thanks:
Here are some people I'd like to thank for this video. Talz: For always putting up with my obssessive compulsiveness of wanting to have everything perfect and for keeping my spirits up during my down time. Moo and Pauli: For doing that IC with me and therefore giving me back my inspiration to keep going on the video. Minna: For being so supportive and rendering out that final scene for me because it wouldn't work for me. It really was a life saver. Also for introducing me to Fades Away, this video wouldn't exist without that. Dani: For telling me not to die editing the text out of that one scene, I took your advice and wasn't as perfectionistic as I would have been. My sister Julie: For just being so awesome and supportive.

O_O Saw this at Banzai and it convinced me I need to watch more Soul Eater. I stopped at episode 4, thinking it was all just dumb, but I am seeing some seriously awesome battle footage here that I want to know more about. PLEASE tell me there will be an option somewhere to download it! Just for the sake of having the awesomeness on my computer. :D

[KaeldraicProductions]

@mormongirlbyu Soul Eater is a mix of awesome battle sequences and the comedy aspect, it gets a lot more serious the further you go along in case you don't like the comedy of it so I would definitely recommend you keep watching. And do you mean an option to download my video or the SE series?

[Sunnyfeather23]

Oh, by the way, I just watched it in full screen 720p and it was even more beautiful~ :)

[KaeldraicProductions]

@Sunnyfeather23 Haha! It is WAAAY better in 720p (it's even better not having to watch it on YT though..*coughs*) And oh, thank you for your comment before, it made me really happy to read. And the "you promised me the world" is one of my favorite parts too! <33

[cutiepiy5]

Saw this at Anime Banzai. It was fantastic~

[terradoll13]

WOW that is...wow...

[DarkReshiram1]

Hey how on earth did you download the clips from bluejay to a file to use on the computer? Omg it was so amazing I've watched this 2000 times, literally. Amazing.

[3choPho3nixx]

Just so you know, I stumbled upon this video purely on accident. Well, kinda. I'm in a band called Fear of Failure and I wanted to see what else was out on Youtube under that name. I've never been an anime/manga fan, but I applaud your choice of song, as I now have a new band to add to my iPod. The editing in this is well done as well.

[whitneyk113]

This. Was. Epic!

[KatsuragiNamika]

@mormongirlbyu I thought so too, and it IS true, that the introductions last for 6-7 episodes. If you still didn't watch this show, I HIGHLY recommend it. It's very very good :))

[SwordHappyFox]

..........O...M..G... This vid Was was SO AMAZING You've done such an Amazing job on it I like fav and sub :D

[DanielDanteThe2nd]

@mormongirlbyu I recommend the manga after the split (once Medusi as kid leaves Shibusen) you can look for Soul Eater and you can watch it online.

The series will problably be remade soon cause the manga will be done soon,

Great job! I love this anime, for it is one of those shows that hooks you in the first episode and at the end, you find yourself wondering what happens next. Before you know it, you've just finished the last episode!

Awesome anime + epic amv + interesting song = FAVE!!
