Re: Have AMV ideas?

Nights in White Satin- to Juri, Shiori, Anthy, Utena and Akio, of princes that don't need to be called as such, of those that aren't and yet how much it hurt for the people around them for them to be/pretend to be Princes.

I would call it Knights in Bloody Satin.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

Song: My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)
By: En Vogue
Concept: It's a Touga/Utena video. The song is one of those "You keep claiming you'll change, but you're not. So you're not getting any until you do" kind of songs.

Song: Give It Up, Turn It Loose
By: En Vogue (Okay, I was listening to their second album today.)
Concept: It's a Wakaba/Saionji video, primarily Wakaba. It's one of those "Forget about him and move on" songs. However, it's not a "Set his stuff on fire" song. There's a difference. school-eng101

I would do these myself, but a) I don't have the software, b) I own episodes 23-39 on DVD, so they no longer live on my hard drive, and c) my BRS episodes are .asf files with the crappiest quality in existence.


Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again.
It's so far and out of sight.
I really need someone to talk to and nobody else
Knows how to comfort me tonight.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

Flower of Flesh and Blood - Kittie (!) etc-love etc-love
Rockin' Anthy video. I would set Anthy being "controlled" by the S.C and Utena ("you want friends and to be a normal girl, don't you?11!!1") during the first four lines, Anthy acting as puppet master during the next four lines and first refrain. Second verse would be the wierdness that is the relationship between Akio and Anthy but with the picture of Utena and Anthy's clasped hands showing during "true beauty staining through". Refrain 2: Anthy's true self starting to break through while being a "doll" Refrain 3: Utena and Anthy, ending with a shot of an empty Rose Bride dress.

My sweet obsession
My greatest masterpiece
When I undress you
Everything falls in place
I will control you
This flower of flesh and blood
True crimson blooming
I'll tear the petals right off of you

Flower of flesh
My love will die for it
boundless and red
My love lies motionless

My own creation
My one and only slave
Into the darkness
The hate of hell is boundless
This blade consoles you
True beauty staining through
This love destroys you
And there is nothing you can do

Flower of flesh
My love will die for it
boundless and red
My love lies motionless

Flower of flesh
My love will die for it
boundless and red
My love lies motionless

Re: Have AMV ideas?

Song: When Doves Cry
Artist: Prince

Dig if u will the picture
Of u and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can u my darling
Can u picture this?

Dream if u can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and u

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (so cold)
Maybe Im just 2 demanding
Maybe Im just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
Shes never satisfied (shes never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

Touch if u will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
Youve got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase u
Even doves have pride

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (world so cold)
Maybe Im just 2 demanding
Maybe Im just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
Shes never satisfied (shes never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (a world that's so cold)
Maybe Im just 2 demanding (maybe, maybe Im like my father)
Maybe Im just like my father 2 bold (ya know he's 2 bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (maybe you're just like my mother)
Shes never satisfied (shes never, never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other (why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like

When doves cry
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)

Don't cry (don't cry)

When doves cry
When doves cry
When doves cry

When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry, doves cry
Don't cry
Darling don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't don't cry

Re: Have AMV ideas?

There's a PJ Harvey song called "I Can Hardly Wait" I'll post it in the music exchange thread, but it finishes with the line "In my glass coffin, I am waiting..." I think it would make a sweet Anthy AMV.

another thought that passed my mind. if anyone has seen the "dear Sister" thing on youtube i thought that the scene where anthy stabs utena would be great for it.

Yeah that's a cool idea. I'll try and make this one. etc-love

Edit quoting from another:-
Epi_lepsia suggested Chop Suey by SOAD.
Hey that song would be powerful with just about anything if it was cut properly. It does have a SKU feel atmospherically-speaking too. I would thus like to AMV it. But it's hard thinking of the specifics when you look at the lyrics...

Would it be cast? Akio-centric maybe? Anthy-centric? Who's going to be the forsaking "father"? Thoughts anyone? emot-confused

Well in response to the long ago rec by Epi_lepsia to making an AMV to Chop Suey by SOAD we have:

Re: Have AMV ideas?

An Utena AMV to this song had been a passing thought before, but now, I am SO SET ON IT. It fits Utena, Anthy, Akio, and the entire student body living in the lies of Ohtori Academy.

Lamp Halo by Zeromancer.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

Eugh I just noticed that I posted 3 times consecutively earlier on in this thread. Bad form, bad form.
sharnii's been such a bad girl. emot-gonk

Anyway, back to my entirely new post!

Yasha wrote: I would seriously kill for a video of Akio and Touga set to Hot by Avril Lavigne. Seriously. I'm actually thinking about offering hosting on the site to someone if they will allow me to do the creative control part while they make the video, because my computer is too old and crappy to do it myself. Fuck... most hilarious video ever.

And st0dad wrote: Dude, find me a movie making system compatible with windows 2000, and I'm totally on board. emot-biggrin

Did this ever happen? I searched around and couldn't see such a vid anywhere.
I'm a fan of parody, and Hot (and quite a lot of Avril's songs) and would be up for giving creative control to you, Yasha.
It would be interesting to make an AMV actually where someone else had such control! school-eng101

EDIT: fixed grammar - exciting I know

Seriously though, that AMV artist has only done 4 videos (on YouTube) but they are just packed with so much power. Naturally, my favorited are that, and the Elfen Lied video "Condemned Memoir".

Re: Have AMV ideas?

I want to do an AMV about End of the World and the Revolution they hope for.

Akio vid--->Baba by Alanis Morisette

I would also love to do a vid to "NY, New York" by Chronic Future. ("It's her dream to ride the conveyor belt to that sidewalk")

I also think it would be funny to do one to Richard Cheese's version of "Down with the Sickness" and show off all the pretencious nonsense that goes on in Utena.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

Ugly Man by Rickie Lee Jones constantly makes me think of the adult figures in SKU-- primarily, Akio.

Now, I know what you're thinking. With a title like that, it couldn't possibly describe Akio. But, somehow, when I listen to the soft beat and the smooth lyrics and just the general feeling that the song inspires, I always picture clips of Akio strung along.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

I have wanted to do this AMV for about 8 years now, I even have notes somewhere scripted line by line what shot I would use, but I have never had all three of these at the same time.

1. softwear
2. time
3. Patience

It's Juri/Shiori. The song is "Ghost" by the Indigo Girls.

Theres a letter on the desktop
That I dug out of a drawer
The last truce we ever came to
In our adolescent war
And I start to feel the fever
From the warm air through the screen
You come regular like seasons
Shadowing my dreams

And the mississippis mighty
But it starts in minnesota
At a place that you could walk across
With five steps down
And I guess thats how you started
Like a pinprick to my heart
But at this point you rush right through me
And I start to drown

And theres not enough room
In this world for my pain
Signals cross and love gets lost
And time passed makes it plain
Of all my demon spirits
I need you the most
Im in love with your ghost
Im in love with your ghost

Dark and dangerous like a secret
That gets whispered in a hush
(dont tell a soul)
When I wake the things I dreamt about you
Last night make me blush
(dont tell a soul)
And you kiss me like a lover
Then you sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river
Play your memory like a piper

And I feel it like a sickness
How this love is killing me
Id walk into the fingers
Of your fire willingly
And dance the edge of sanity
Ive never been this close
Im in love with your ghost

Unknowing captor
You never know how much you
Pierce my spirit
But I cant touch you
Can you hear it
A cry to be free
Oh Im forever under lock and key
As you pass through me

Now I see your face before me
I would launch a thousand ships
To bring your heart back to my island
As the sand beneath me slips
As I burn up in your presence
And I know now how it feels
To be weakened like achilles
With you always at my heels

This bitter pill I swallow
Is the silence that I keep
It poisons me I cant swim free
The river is too deep
Though Im baptized by your touch
I am no worse than most
In love with your ghost

You are shadowing my dreams
(in love with your ghost)

Re: Have AMV ideas?

song: "Use You"
artist: Dave Gahan
pairing : Kozue & Miki

I posted the lyrics in another thread but I think my idea is more crystallized this time 'round.

It's killing me
To be in this room
I've gotta get out
I've gotta get out soon I'm hurting you
With everything I do
It's too long
Too long in this place

We're counting down
Only seconds now
I gotta hang on
Hang on to you

I'm staring at
My cuticles
Too long
Too long in this place

We have each other
You are my brother
Sitting here beside you
I just wanna use you

We have each other
You are my brother
Sitting here beside you
I just wanna use you

I'm hurting you
With everything I do
I've gotta get out
I've gotta get out soon

It's killing me
To be in this room
I don't belong
Belong in this place

We have each other
You are my brother
Sitting here beside you
I just wanna use you

****

I'd make it myself but I don't know how to do it .
