I Will Guide You In The Night | GoT [SYTYCV]

"If hope is a dangerous hole, will you join me?"

My entry for the 'No Effects Challenge' of SoYouThinkYouCanVid.
Song and clip info can be found at end of video.

Rated PG-13 for a very small amount of blood/gore.

My first foray into vidding Game of Thrones. This show is a lot of fun to work with and I hope to make more videos with it in the future. The footage is so pretty I didn't even miss being able to use any additional coloring. Not using any effects aside from crossfades and fading to black certainly was a challenge though!

Judges Note:
I'll try to keep this as short as possible, as I know I have a horrible tendency to ramble. sorry!
In this video, I wanted to explore the complexity of warring emotions (sorrow, love, hate, fear, joy, etc etc) that are continuously present in HBO's fantasy television series, Game of Thrones. Though I admittedly have not seen many GoT videos, it seems it would be all too easy to focus on the negative emotions rather than the positive (which is understandable, given the context.) When I chose this song, I saw an opportunity to explore the brighter side of the story, with the love and friendship between the characters, along with the darker side. The world of Game of Thrones is a pretty dark one, full of treachery and war, but through it all these characters have each other to lean on when times get difficult. And boy, do they get difficult.

As for my effects usage, as per the rules, I only used crossfades, fading in and out to black, and I occasionally slowed a clip to make it match the correct pacing (slowing the entire clip and not just a portion). I attempted to include parallels when possible (like with Sansa and Joffrey), and tried to use the internal movement of clips to match with the pace of the music. As I wanted to give this video a more optimistic tone, I ended it on a (hopefully) positive note.
