Karma: A Tales Tribute

5th AMV
game: Tales of the Abyss
Theme of game: RPG to discover the meaning of life
song preformed by BUMP OF CHICKEN

I had a LOT of audio problems with this AMV, and I still think that the audio in the beginning is kinda screwy, but my final decision was that I was just being paranoid. However, if any of you think otherwise, just say the word and I'll try to get a better quality. Long scenes can be very powerful if used correctly but it is hard to justify something over 6 seconds so this was hard for me. Also, on this AMV I concentrated much of it being keen on the lyrics and on the meaning of each scene, even more than my AMV of Alones (though it was more keen on emotion).

EDIT: I found out what was wrong with the audio. It was simple: when I published the video I put the sound too high, so when listening to this video, it may help to lower the volume.

EDIT #2: After doing my 6th AMV I realized it wasn't the volume that was the problem, it was the stupid movie maker's fault. Over the process of publishing and importing the sound quality slowly went down. D=

Luke and Asch are different beings, but they belong in the same place. As the lyrics say, two can not exist in the same place. So in order for both Asch and Luke to live, they needed to exchange a "promise" which was their fight, and had to become one. The being you saw at the end of the game, anime and in this video is the true "Luke".
If you still don't get why clone Luke and Asch had to become one, hopefully you know Kingdom Hearts, specifically Kingdom Hearts 2. You know how Sora couldn't wake up without his nobody returning to him? And how most nobodies will eventually vanish into darkness because they don't have anywhere to go back to? If Roxas didn't go back to Sora, Sora would have never woken up. It's the same with the true Luke that appeared at the end except their fight to become one was a physical and mental battle.

DISCLAIMER!!!
I DO NOT OWN the song Karma, nor any of the video content used to make this AMV that I made via video editing.

I really enjoyed this AMV, great job! All the high points in the music I feel were represented very well.

@spot0914 Can you give me a critique on this video then? Like can you specify the parts you liked and the parts that I need to improve on?

[RokuroKazuma]

@Keraroo The amv is very well made, you mearly need to watch out for the little things like keeping one scene on for too long, and transitioning with the beat.

[Keraroo]

@RokuroKazuma *Sigh* now that I take a few steps back, I realized that maybe I failed in keeping the long scenes well timed while I was focusing too much on the importance of each scene. Oh Well. *shrug*
