Unforgivable Sinner - Sephiroth/Aerith

READ FIRST PLEASE

My first FF vid in over 2 months. And it's been over ten months since I last made a vid using characters from FFVII. Wow, that's a long time. I've neglected this game for too long, so expect lots of FFVII vids from me in the future.
My first attempt at a crack!pairing. xD And oh god I think I'm actually starting to like this ship. lmao it makes no sense, but there's just something endearing about these two. Somebody save me from these illogical ships! lol Most people only use Sephiroth in videos as the villain, so I wanted to slightly humanize him and show that he has his own grief and regrets. And leave it to me to make a vid using two characters that really aren't shown enough in the movie or the game. *sigh* Since there aren't really that many clips of Sephiroth, especially a non-combatant Sephiroth, I used Kadaj a few times to represent him. And I did repeat some clips of Sephiroth and Aerith, but hopefully they're not too many or too noticeable. And sorry for my crappy attempts at masking. I only have Vegas 8 Movie Studio, which doesn't have an actual masking feature, so I had to rely on cookie cutter patterns. lol Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Song: "Unforgivable Sinner" by Lene Marlin
Clips: Final Fantasy VII, Advent Children, Crisis Core
Extra Clips/Audio: Final Fantasy X/X-2
Program Used: Sony Vegas 8
Ship: Sephiroth x Aerith (AeriSeph xD)
Studios: Infinite Memories and Unforgettable Dreams
Story: Okay, lots to say in the short intro. Sephiroth and Aerith were in love, or so he thought. Unfortunately, Aerith only considered them to be friends and Sephiroth saw her and Cloud together. Sephiroth, jealous and hurt, took out his anger on Aerith and killed her. He instantly regretted his actions, but it was too late.
Now memories of Aerith constantly haunt Sephiroth as he has to live with the fact that he betrayed his love. Though Aerith's spirit tries to comfort Sephiroth and tell him that she's not angry with him, Sephiroth is too immersed in his guilt to hear her.
As time progresses, Sephiroth's guilt continues to build and build. He has problems distinguishing memories from the present. He starts going insane and trying to free Jenova and fight people simply to let out his frustration. All the while, Aerith's spirit is trying to tell him to move on with his life. However, Sephiroth cannot hear her and continues to grieve.
Sephiroth soon comes to realize that Cloud is to blame for his current situation. After all, if Cloud had not been there, Aerith would not have fallen in love with him and Sephiroth and Aerith may have ended up together. Sephiroth seeks out Cloud, hoping to put a final end to his problems.

In case you have trouble hearing the quotes, here they are:
1:42 -- Aerith -- "Don't go on grieving alone."
2:30 -- Sephiroth -- "I couldn't save you."
2:56 -- Aerith -- "It doesn't matter."
3:31 -- Sephiroth -- "Good to see you....Cloud."
3:36 -- Aerith -- "That's enough!"
3:49 -- Sephiroth -- "Forgive me."

Hey, do you mind if I do a fan fiction of this video on deviantart? I just really love the video and I'm really good at writing stories especially romance (actually it's the only thing I write about) and I love Sephiroth and Aerith together as a couple.

[KeeperofFlowers]

@luvcatz94 haha sure I'm flattered. Please give credit for the idea and post a link when you're done so I can read it though!

@StitchyTheBoomer Considering that you had absolutely nothing productive to say with your comment, I am going to equate it to spam. Your comment was simply rude and had no substance to any of your claims. Frankly, it makes you sound uneducated and like your sole purpose was to write something rude for the sake of it. I'd love if people gave me real criticism - aka suggestions for what worked, what didn't and for the future. Yours did not, so yes it doesn't qualify as criticism but as being rude.

[KeeperofFlowers]

@StitchyTheBoomer Um, that's kind of the point. I created a storyline of sorts that doesn't actually exist. So - and here's the shocker - I did have to edit the clips to make them fit. I know, how wrong of me!

If you don't like something, then fine. I respect everyone's opinions. But if you're simply going to be rude, then I'm going to have to ask you to take you lack of manners elsewhere.
