Edit: Well, I didn't make it into the next round. The judges didn't like the Fields of Gold border that went with the beat and scrubbed me. Ah well. I really wanted it to have a "gold", scrap-book look to it, and I don't regret it.

My entry for YouTube's Next Top Vidder! We were each assigned an emotion to make a video to that we usually don't make videos of, and I got assigned 'love'.
Anakin & Padmé - Fields of Gold. A bittersweet video of the wonderful times they shared while falling in love, and remembering those days when their fragile world is all they have.
It took me nearly a week to decide on this video. I had lots of candidates for entries but it was so hard choose one that really emitted the feeling of love. I was afraid most of them wouldn't convey the right feeling. In the end, I finally settled on "Fields of Gold" set to Anakin and Padmé, an idea I had wanted to do for over a year. It was a real challenge to make, not easy at all, and I barely finished in time. (stayed up to 5:30 AM and got one hour of sleep the day before the deadline when I drove my family to the ocean LOL)
And it's my first Star Wars video! I love Star Wars, they are my favourite movies ever. :)
Music: "Fields of Gold" by Sting. I own nothing am very thankful that even though the audio is of third party content, they are still letting me keep the video up. Thank you!!
Footage: "Attack of the Clones" and "Revenge of the Sith"; Deleted scenes from AOTC.
Pictures: from Padawans Guide, an amazing Star Wars costume site
Program used: Adobe Premiere 2.0
Edit: There are mistakes I didn't catch in my tiredness and rush to get this rendered and uploaded. I went through a lot of versions and somehow overlooked things that I would gotten rid of for the perfect copy. I will reupload it when my computer is fixed.
A work of ART. This is so beautiful! I can't even begin to express how LOVELY it is! I'll bet you anything we'll be seeing you in the next round. ;)
I really appreciate the hard work put into the sequence that starts on 2:12. Its absolutely s t u n n i n g.
And I also love the last bit where you show Anakin and Padme going back in time to when they first met. :)

You totally made my day, Lass! :D Thank you SO much for the amazing review! It was pretty difficult to pull off the instrumental part at 2:12, it's heartening to know you like it! My favourite part is the ending. :)
