Tales of Symphonia: DotNW - "In Their Hands" MV

Update: Audio's back! Gotta love Youtube's inconsistency with these things ^_^. I hope that more people now have the chance to enjoy this video, especially fans of Symphonia and the Tales series in general...though after the stunts that Namco has been pulling with Graces I can't imagine there being that many left.

As the title implies, this is a Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World music video using the motion-capture cutscenes from the Wii game. For what it's worth, Dawn is probably the best RPG offering on Wii right now, even if it was under-received by critics. Still, I totally recommend picking it up, especially if you were a fan of the first game.

On the topic of the video, for a while I was considering whether to even bother uploading it (the reason should be obvious at this point), but seeing how it's probably the most detailed and diverse one I've ever made, I figured it was worth a shot. I'm not sure whether it was the cutscenes or the song that made it so difficult to edit, but I think I spent more time working on this one's timing than any of my other videos.

The song's relationship theme worked very well with Emil and Marta, and I tried to represent Emil's dual-personality in it as well. Similarly, Emil's developing friendship with the Symphonia cast was another idea I wanted to focus on. Though, to be honest, the main reason I chose the song was because both the game and the album were November releases. It follows a chronological sequence seeing how I made the video while I was playing through the game, and the clips all fell into place fairly well. If you're unfamiliar with the game or wondering what it's about, the video should give you a pretty quick run-through from beginning to end of its plot.

Other than that, I don't have much else to say. This is probably my best music video, so I thought it would be a shame not to at least try and upload it, and here's hoping for the best. Enjoy.

Note: I in no way claim ownership to the game or the music represented in the video. This video is purely fan work and should be regarded as such.

I managed to get this (mostly) synched with another video that had the same song, and I have to say that I really liked this video. I only wish I could have seen it as intended.

@CyberBlade507 Yeah, sorry for the inconvenience, but I really appreciate you taking the extra effort to watch it synced. The only reason I didn't remove it was because the video turned out so well. Thanks again.
