::Video Details::
This is my first full AMV completed in Vegas! So not only is it an extremely special vid for me, but also one I put much of my thought and heart into. I started the actual project in late November after my sister suggested I use Munto with this song. The idea has evolved into one really different from the first but the central theme stayed the same- dealing with death, mainly suicide, which is what I interpret the song to mean. It also really strikes me as a sort of love song, which makes that it's from LP even more special, and I wanted to do my sources justice.
My absolutely amazing perpetual-beta-testers (R/P/A) did acknowledge that it would be hard to understand my idea after seeing the vid without reading about the plot.
The plot is quite simple- Yumemi is diagnosed with cancer and knows that her life is short; because of this, she is moody, depressed, and goes to the point of being suicidal. However, her plan is unexpectedly executed by accident, which in return leads to her rescue by Munto. Munto is a young king who has lost his family and his country's peace by war and despite his efforts to fight, falls to earth, wounded. Though he saves her, he remains on earth, and Yumemi begins to sense his approaching death. When she finally understands it was a certain someone who saved her, she desperately searches for him and finally is able to meet him.
This is where the meaning of the title comes in as well. "Autumn of flowers" made no sense for the friends waiting for the vid and the beta-testers but I think you could only understand how it relates to the AMV after watching. Autumn is the season when the life of summer slowly fades into the cold, unloving spirit of winter. Therefore, autumn here is presented as a sort of limbo, with flowers symbolic of Yumemi and Munto as they fight ultimately to gain the strength to live through the winter.
As to whether Yumemi lives or dies, that is up to your interpretation, though I think of the ending a certain way. The main purpose of this vid was to take an anime which has gorgeous art and great potential and create a new story from it, which I hope I succeeded in doing. There are only two AMVs which really present Munto the way I see commendable, and those are Sierra Lorna's 'Sunlight' (which got me to see Munto) and the 'Reflections of Style 3' MEP's first track.
The vid actually has a special aspect to it- I used scenes relating to the plot later on early in the vid which gives it sort of a split frame design, but it doesn't really break away from the linear form of it all. The AMV is really quite simple and I used effects only to enhance the scenes. The color scheme was a big part of it for me so I really concentrated on bringing out the color with the FX.
I've run into several troubles making the final product but I have learned a great deal more about all my programs and especially Vegas. I also would certainly not have done anything had it not been for vidqueen567, Henke6414, greenflare14, and of course R/P/A- thank you guys so much again.
Enjoy!
