;; PIECES

Eh. I'm not sure if I'll ever finish the entire song.

This is a vent video... I have a lot of crap whirling around in my head and I just needed to let it out. I feel like I was taken away from something that was good and thrown into the deep end of the pool without a clue as to what's going on. My comfort zone's been destroyed and... I am scared.

There are reasons for the seemingly random clips. Esperanza is there to represent my own mother, trying to help me with me constantly saying no and, regretfully, telling her to leave. The eagle represents held back freedom that couldn't accompany me to a personal hell. The journey represents my lack of confidence to try and escape, the fear of entering the new place giving me no hope so I trudge along, a broken soul. The gun represents contemplated thoughts (gun = death, right?). Going to the "man village" represents an attempted second chance but it's not the same as home; the freedom I once had, the friends and the company. This links to the silhouette of Spirit trying to pull himself away from the thing that's holding him down - isolated from it all because of worries and fears.

Maybe I'll finish this when everything blows over. I don't know.

Even though this is a bit late along, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that things haven't been looking great for you, and I hope that they do get better for you <3

Editing-wise, this piece was very powerful. You could really feel the message brought into this loud and clear, which is excellent from an editing perspective because that's what makes an amv interesting to watch. It's all about letting yourself out, which is very relieving. The freeze frames were very fitting for the video too.

@TheDevilsLotus They're slowly improving but it's still a bit odd for me.

I tried to pack as much emotion into it as possible so I could try and get across that emotion. I'm glad I achieved this. :] I tried to freeze it on the most emotional footage snippets and that seems to have worked. :] Thank you for the wonderful comment. ^^

@BlackFang29 :] Thank you ever so much!

@Munewhisker Yeah. The positives, though small and rare, always pop up and show me there's more and I don't need to be so sad all the time. There are moments of freedom and moments where I can chose how I feel and not be weighed down by the negative and the unwanted emotions. I'll be more happy just for Briezy <3 I always do something constructive and artistic to release bottled up emotions. It just lets me realse. And yes, but I think I've figured out how to make it HQ now. Only time will tell!

@Munewhisker Belated reply. Me sorry </3

Yeah. Things are sort of looking up nowadays but I still feel like something's missing. :c I really miss the old days where I wasn't a lump of depression.

Thank you Briezy. :'] I didn't mention why the boxes were feathered o: They're not just for effect. I put them there to represent that I'm fraying (sp?) at the edges and I'm slowly being eaten away. :c Merhh. It could be better quality <3
