An Ancient Production: Aerith's Courage

-Cough.- Watch In High Quality.

This video is a little different from what I usually do...it is about anorexia. I made this video for the Red Light Studio Contest....a very interesting concept, so even though this video isn't as, ah, dark as I was hoping, I still wanted to give it a shot. Bear with me.

Story: The actual story of this video has nothing to do with the FF realm. Instead it is just about the song. Aerith is struggling with an eating disorder, and slowly her friends see what is happening to her and try to help. Clips in red are meant to represent deceit.
Song: Courage.
Artist: Superchick.
Characters: Aerith, Cloud, Zack, Tifa.
Program: Sony Vegas 8 Pro.

...wow... just... wow... I dont want to impose but If you could... could you do a video with the so Cut by Plumb... its a self harm awareness song... It really gets to me and this song and video gets to me too... Its just wow

[HybridMoon]

I did do a video to that song last year, but unfortunately Youtube laid it's Copyright Claim of Death on it and it was removed. D: I might be able to upload it again, but bear with me. x]

I'm glad that my video made an impact on you nonetheless. A mental illness and it's subsequent effects is a powerful thing to deal with.

*Chokes up*

I did a video like this with Fleur from Harry Potter.

This video was purely...just amazing.

[HybridMoon]

I'm glad you liked it. :]

Tough subject, especially for those who have experience with it. But still, videos like yours and mine need to be shown. Even though over opinionated people like to point out that characters like Aerith and Fleur don't have eating disorders. "Gee. Thanks for stating the obvious. Now kindly STFU for the people who actually get the message of the video."

LOL sorry, got carried away. <33

Ah. This touched me more than I can say.

There I times when I skip meals.

:S

<3 <--- That's for you. :)

[HybridMoon]

Argh I just saw this comment now even though you posted it ages ago. Didn't mean to ignore you, hun.

Be strong. You are beautiful the way you are. <3 Stay safe, love.

[DeathlySerenity]

@HybridMoon I know what you mean, people did that on my video and I was like "If you don't like it kindly piss off!"

[takingbacktheplanet]

what a mighty, beautiful and splendid woman in every way. :)

[FFVV]

Oh, that is interesting. What a hard theme and idea. I think the song is rather effective, but yeah, it doesn't seem so dark as it should be, but I like how I really feel the "hope" going on with Aeris has reoccurring parts with Tifa, Cloud, and Zack.

[SangoTink]

WOW SO CUTE!!!! I LOVE IT

[DeathlySerenity]

Haha! I love it carry on!

It is a horrid subject, I myself do have an eating disorder and what this song fails to mention is what we captured, it's all about control. Not *just* looking beautiful.

I mean one person said on my "When Hermione Cuts" video 'Omg I can see why hermione was bullied!!!'

My reply: "Ok so you didn't get it....piss off please?"

And some people even called me 'sick'. I was just like '...urm....it's a music video...it's not real..'

[darkangel8694]

Anyway, thanks though. Like I said, real sweet thoughtful comment. I appreciate it.

[darkangel8694]

That's so sweet. :)))))

How could I be mad at ya, HM-sama? You're the best. :3

-huggles tightly-

I'm okay I guess, it was always around boys I liked that I wouldn't. Ugh. Even now...but eh. I'm good. :]

We. need. To. TALK sometime, yo. DX If it's because I forgot to message you back, sorry! Oh, do you have anything 'sides YM, because it doesn't want us chatzing it up, me thinks. ;o
