Comments:
This was an interesting project to start and is completely different than what I am used to releasing. I heard the song for the first time when Black Rock Shooter was airing and thought making a video with the song would be pretty fun. Obviously using the title creatively was part of it, but also the contrast from the verses to the chorus in the song gave me the idea of trying to display both worlds that were shown in the anime. Using the lower tone of the vocals in the verses for the real world storyline and the more intense chorus section for the action scenes was the basic idea of how I would construct the video. At times I felt a bit limited because the source material was not easy to twist into a continuous storyline. As some of you who have seen the series may have noticed I cut out one of the major characters. I initially tried to work everyone in but it was too much to display in the time frame, so I decided to make creative cuts. Overall I'm pleased with the result, it's no masterpiece but I hope it is entertaining and encourages people to watch the anime.
