Re: Have AMV ideas?

I just watched Like a boss for the thirteenth time and am now wishing there was a version where Akio takes Andy's place.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

I'm sure I'm heavily biased in my "who should rap (because they are a gangsta)" opinions, but I think Saionji would be much more suited for that one. emot-tongue Maybe not the fucking a fish's brain's out part, but maybe just to prove that he was da boss.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

I found an Utena AMV a long time ago that featured the song Fields of Innocence. I thought the song was fitting.

Maybe an Utena and Anthy amv to "Sleeping Beauty" by A Perfect Circle?

Delusional
I believed I could cure it all for you dear
Coax or trick or drive or drag the demons from you
Make it right for you sleeping beauty
Truly thought I could heal you
Far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
Failing miserably to rescue sleeping beauty
Drunk on ego, truly thought I could make it right
If I kissed you one more time to help you face the nightmare
But you're far too poisoned for me
Such a fool to think that I could wake you from your slumber
That I could actually heal you
Sleeping beauty poisoned and hopeless
Far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
Failing miserably to find a way to comfort you
Far beyond a visible sign of you awakening
And hiding from some poisoned memory
Poisoned and hopeless sleeping beauty


Mad, bad, and dangerous to know.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

Necro'd because I just think The Blow's music should be put to Utena footage. I think it so hard. So hard that I'm trying to do it right now, but technology is getting in my way. It's like Gift of the Magi with this Mac-to-PC transference of files and software! emot-mad But seriously, all of her music. All of it. So SKU. Strange and sexy with lesbian undertones. But not just lesbian! Here!

For Nanami/Touga?

It's not a lot that I want

Come on Petunia
You thought in your head
It would all be so easy if you could be led
To the cave where I hide you in linens and frames
And in new combinations I've made of our names

The tiny holy outfit you'd fit
If I sliced you up real little bitty
I'd sliver and splice you
And then you'd be many
And I'd be the one who was pretty to love you
And show you the thumb

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on

Now I know my love for her goes on

Jamie stood on the stoop and he challenged his homies to go get some girlfriends and locate their yonies
The waters are parting and times getting heated, the boys needed friendship, the beat needed needed (uh-huh, Uh-huh)
Her dress was a ship at sail (uh-huh), her knees were the water pail
This was survival and she was the kit
You could die of thirst if the girls won't give you sips

She does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
and even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolved to call her up
A thousand times a day
I thought I'd ask her if she'd marry me
In some old fashioned way
Well, but my silent fears persisted and before I'd reached the phone
Like before, my tongue has twisted
Must I always be alone?

You're all Jenny and Lindsay and fine
And I'm underwater I'm shedding my mind
And I'm pretty sure baby if you'd hold my head
I could live like I've wished for and undo my dread.
Cuz I see candygrams up on the ceiling tops
Woody postcards sent off from the sandwhich shops
In these towns where vacations will lead us
I hold out my treasures and their wealth will feed us.

Oh, she does as she wishes and
No, she won't be your misses
The kingdom but(?) widens,
There there alone with all that love
And a void on your throne

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
and even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
and even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

There's totally more/better examples, but Imma distracted. Srslyguise. I love The Blow. etc-love

Re: Have AMV ideas?

I've always though that 'Sea Lion' by Sage Francis would be good for Anthy, although it'd take a lot of effort to make it work.

The force of my love was strong. The sea lion lay down long. Song in the air. Why should singer care? When singer can be among song.

Ma, Ma--look what i did, Ma. Look what i did to my hands, I broke 'em.
You gave me the stone, gave me the chisel, didn't say how to hold 'em.
Didn't say to give away every piece of the puzzle 'til i was left with nothin'.
But i took it upon myself to crush it up and distribute the dust.
Get in the bus. Hop in the van. Jump in the water. Crawl to the land.
Build another castle out of sand. Break it down and then get into the saddle again.
I'm going city to city - i'm already lost. Tell the boss who is new in town.
I'll ride this horse 'til it it bucks me off and i'm forced to shoot it down.
I'll take him out for some gasoline. Trade this cow for some magic beans.
Gonna make mom proud of the deals that I made, 'cause I'm just a modern day Johnny Appleseed
But i'm glad that I never passed the genes, and I never put down the axe.
Piano man got a checkered dance floor to grace and a painful look on his face.
'Cause the crowd is packed and the louder they clap
the less he is able to make the connection between what he sees
when he hears certain notes and the hurt that is shown in his facial expression. Ahhhhhh.
I don't need your "go ahead" to go ahead. No, I know no one said it was gonna be easy,
but sweet jesus who wants to sleep with me?
Way too many moves to learn. Not enough people to put 'em on.
Look it, mom! No hands. I built this suit of armor with wooden arms.

The force of my love was strong. The sea lion lay down long. Song in the air. Why should singer care? When singer can be among song.

Oh God I think I’m dead
I can’t see outside my head
Brains and bloods and cryptic gang men
Czars and warlords breaking bread
Thoughts are thought
What’s said is said
I thought that ‘fore you said it
I didn’t mean to think out loud
My tongue slipped but who let it?
Let it be, let me be, let me go, nah let me out
My manhood nods and whispers when my father screams and shouts
Dear dad I’m sad you’re dead
A new man standing in the pulpit
He bows before a wooden cross and forces praise the culprit
I’m a tenor in the choir but I sing a different song
Of how the wheres and whys of now all prove I don’t belong
But I’m staying I've planted seeds and plan to watch them grow
I've watered all my wishes dreams fulfilled more seeds to sow
And I promise to learn to love the way I've learned to fear
To unknot all the inhibitions tangled in my hair
To let my ego mound in piles around the barber chair
And make a graceful exit from my vexed troubled years
I've decided I've been invited to my own resort
Where knights can leave their armor neatly piled by the door
And every woman, child, and man will gather by the shore
and study how sea lions swim in cursive

The force of my love was strong. The sea lion lay down long. Song in the air. Why should singer care? When singer can be among song.

Sorry about the wall of text. Am at work and don't have the time to edit it into something more coherent. Also, OT, but I discovered this AMV were Doctor Who/Benny Hill/Eminem get together and get down with their funky selves. emot-rofl

Re: Have AMV ideas?

My sister and I always wanted to do a video to this Savatage song: "Castles Burning." It fits Utena PERFECTLY.

In the dark and bleeding
With the shadows seething
There he stands alone

Fools and faith conspire
Questions of desire
That they never owned

Kings without their armor
Men without their honor
Spit out desecration
Pieces of a nation
Buried in the ground
Screams without a sound
Burn the castle down

In the end the children cried
That the jackal surely lied
When he said please listen all
Do not look behind these walls

Coffins drowned in roses
And the war he chose is
Fought inside the mind
Death becomes compelling
When the soul's for selling
And the world is blind

In the maze he wanders
Looks about and ponders
shadows mock and taunt him
And the ghosts that haunt him
Chain him to the ground
Screams without a sound
Burn the castle down

In the end the children cried
That the jackal surely lied
When he said please listen all
Do not look behind these walls

And does the pendulum toll
Against the side of the soul
When he feels the final moment is near
Do you rage 'gainst the dark
Try to re-write the part
Turn around and face what you fear
What you fear

He's seen it all before
Close your eyes and close the door
And the dreams that nights embrace
Slowly leave without a trace



I want to make this video so badly, but I have no editing skills. Or footage.


Also, "Furious Rose" by Lisa Loeb would make an excellent Anthy video.

"it's not really poetry but it's pretty," he said.
as he raises his voice, she lowers her head.
"it make my heart heavy, you're lonely, i think.
oh rose, you're sad i suppose."

"Look in her bed and she's bound to be sleeping.
she's lying there dead - no, she's breathing."

furious rose, with your opiate eyes.
your languorous hum, that tone of surprise.
I've heard energy in adversity.
your smile: the soul of witchery.
you're not running away,
you're not running - are you?

Lyrically longing, she's tearing the words from the page.
She's fearfully seething.
"Bring me your blessings, a prayer, or a new pen.
- you don't know what I need."

"Look in my bed and I'm bound to be sleeping,
I'm lying there dead, but I'm breathing.

and I'm barely balancing as it is,
and I don't want to drown in my dreams.
bring me wild plums and agrimony
- I bet you don't even know what that means."

furious rose, with your opiate eyes.
and your languorous hum, that tone of surprise.
I've heard the energy in adversity.
your smile: the soul of witchery.
you're not running away,
youre not running - are you?

gingerly peering, over his shoulder, removed herself from the room.
she's terribly freezing, she always knows when to go.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

I'm dying to do a Juri/Shiori amv but the only song I think would fit them at least melodically is this french song by Coralie Clement though I only have a very vague idea about what the lyrics mean.

Meanwhile I'm crazy with some open project involving Anthy and Akio to this rap song (Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz)... my friend wants me to have it done by this con's deadline and I don't think I will ._.

Had no idea this topic existed but I etc-love it.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

I don't have any video editing software for this summer, but when I start school, I'll try my hand at an SKU AMV to "Life 2: The Unhappy Ending" by Stars.  With Akio as the hero, Anthy as the lover, and Utena as the female solo.  It would focus on Akio and Anthy's plans and how Utena defies them.

The beginning would be the scene with Anthy and the swords in the car.  Then the second verse obviously lends itself to Dios's fall and Anthy's stabbing, the ending shifting to Utena's death and Anthy's escape


Scene one: Late at night interior, we find ourselves inside the car
Our hero has just gone too far, his lover bleeding in the back
He removes the Lucky from the pack, he knows now that he can't turn back

Cut to: The cherry lights in the rearview
He realizes that he's through
Whispers, "Darling let's have fun"
Hits the exit doing 91, drives until he's in the woods
If he loses them he's gone for good

Life was supposed to be a film, was supposed to be a thriller, was supposed to end in tears
But life, could be nothing but a joke, could be nothing but a con
Where's my unhappy ending gone?
Life was supposed to be a film, was supposed to be a thriller, was supposed to end in blood
But life could be nothing but a joke, a sentimental con
Where's my unhappy ending gone? Where's my unhappy ending gone?

*Female solo*
Here is the part where you save me, here is the scene where you save the day
Why can't the ending be happy?
Why must it always resolve this way?

Fade in: A cabin in the woods somewhere
Our hero strokes his lover's hair
Says "Don't worry love we're almost done"
Says "I could have really been someone"
Outside, they surround the house with pistols drawn
It's a waiting game until dawn
Sergeant says "He can't go on, we know now that he can't go on..."

Life was supposed to be a film, was supposed to be a thriller
Was supposed to end in fire
But life turns out it's nothing but a dream
And that I'll miss it when it's gone
I want the story to go on and on but it can't go on...

Re: Have AMV ideas?

If you think about it, the Highschool Never Ends song is a pretty apt description of Ohtori.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

I was thinking maybe an UtenaxAkioxAnthy AMV to Shiny Toy Guns' Major Tom (Coming Home), centering around Utena and her broken relationships with Akio and Anthy... Let me post the lyrics, that'll be easier...

Standing there alone the ship is waiting.
All systems are go. are you sure?
Control is not convinced
But the computer has the evidence
No need to abort.
The countdown starts

Watching in a trance the crew is certain.
Nothing left to chance all is working.
Trying to relax up in the capsule
"Send me up a drink." jokes Major Tom.
The count goes on

4 3 2 1
Earth below us
Drifting falling floating weightless
Calling calling home

Second stage is cut.
We´re now in orbit
Stabilizers up runnning perfect.
Starting to collect requested data.
"What will it affect when all is done?"
Thinks Major Tom

Back at ground control
There is a problem.
"Go to rockets full"
Not responding.
"Hello Major Tom are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on.
We´re standing by."
There´s no reply.


4 3 2 1
Earth below us
Drifting falling floating weightless
Calling calling home


Across the stratosphere a final message
"Give my wife my love."
Then nothing more

Far beneath the ship the world is mourning.
They don´t realize he´s alive.
No one understands but Major Tom sees.
Now the light commands
This is my home I´m coming home."

Earth below us
Drifting falling.
Floating weightless
Calling home
[repeat 2]
Earth Below us
Drifting falling
Floating weightless
Calling coming
home.....

The way I'm looking at it, "Home" refers to Anthy, the person she betrayed in the first place.  Major Tom is Utena. 
*points to bolded paragraph*  This to me is an awesome representation of what's going on in the sex scene during episode 33. 

I don't know, I just think it's an awesome song and would be a great AMV.  I'd do it, but, I'm really not good at video editing.  D:

Re: Have AMV ideas?

Here's a good one for Mikage:

Melissa Etheridge - Into the Dark

There was fire there was death
There was lying on your breath
I turned away I would pretend
But the burning never ends

I've been here sleeping all these years

There comes a time we all know
There's a place that we must go
Into the soul, into the heart
Into the dark

-----

Here's one for Utena:

Des'ree - You Gotta Be

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

-----

For Utena/Anthy:

Jonatha Brooke - I'll Leave the Light On

And you say that I'm naïve
Love is not a fairy tale
Well maybe so, who would know
Cuz I'm the fool who still believes
That there's a happy ending here
That time will tell and love will know

Even in these darkened rooms
I will keep my promises to cherish and believe in you

Re: Have AMV ideas?

Well, I know nothing about making AMVs, but I think that "Grenade" by Bruno Mars would be wonderful for a Juri/Shiori/Ruka one. It  sums up Shiori's feelings for him and Juri's feelings for her perfectly.


These lyrics make me think of that scene where he kisses Shiori by the fountain and Juri watches.
Should of known you was trouble from the first kiss, Had your eyes wide open -
Why were they open?



Also, these make me think of what a tease Shiori is in her Black Rose episode.

Mad woman, bad woman,
That's just what you are, yeah,
You’ll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car


No matter how badly the people they love treat them, Juri and Shiori would still catch a grenade for them.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

“The Beast and the Harlot” by Avenged Sevenfold reminds me of Anthy, especially in the last couple of episodes.

“This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,
There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.
A city of evil”
“Her plagues have come all at once as her mourners watch her burn.
Destroyed in an hour.”
“I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell.
You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see.
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,
You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever.”

Wish I had the know-how to make AMVs, but anyone who wants to is free to use this emot-smile

Re: Have AMV ideas?

If I ever decide to stop being lazy, I want to make a Utena/Anthy one to Fly Me Away, from Anthy's perspective.  It's a really cute song and I think the lyrics are fitting. emot-biggrin

Annie Little Fly Me Away Lyrics


Silver Moons and paper chains,
Faded maps and shiny things.
You're my favorite one-man show.
A million different ways to go.

Will you fly me away?
Take me away with you,
My love.

Painted scenes, I'm up all night.
Slaying monsters, flying kites.
Speak to me in foreign tongues.
Share your secrets one by one.

Will you fly me away?
Take me away with you,
My love.

Now I can't think what life was like
Before I had you by my side.
Can't say what I'd do without you,
Knowing what it's like to have you.

Hidden walk ways back in time.
Endless stories, lovers cry.
In my mind I've been set free.
Will you take this Journey
You and Me?

Will you Fly me away?
Take me away with you,
My love.

Fly me away with you,
My Love.

Take me away with you,
My Love.


I'll show you a sight you've never seen before.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

*walks in with newbie shirt on* Hi there!

I had a sort of series of AMVs in mind once:

1) "Revolution" - The Beatles. Featuring the student council and other duelists, and the dueling process. I'm kinda surprised that there aren't that many Utena AMVs to this song, really. Then again, it is the obvious one, I suppose. http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/925/. As if you didn't know this song.
2) "World Shut Your Mouth" - Trouble22 version (Julien Cope cover). Utena in all her glory. http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/ … 858679425/.
3) "Front Row" - Alanis Morissette. Anthy POV on her brother. She can't stand him, yet still sort of puts him on a pedestal. And is really getting quite jaded by the whole thing. http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/ … BB00169F1A.
4) "Bells For Her" - Alanis Morissette. Utena and Anthy, particularly towards the end of the show. Things about Anthy are finally falling into place for Utena. The vid should probably end with the swords turning on her. http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/13619/.
5) "You Can't Always Get What You Want" - The Rolling Stones. I think that happened for a lot of the characters by the end of the show. And I think, whether it really is or not, this song sounds upbeat in a way, and I like a relatively happy ending. http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/6294/.

Other song ideas include Martika's "Toy Soldiers" (http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/16520/), and a song by The Residents called "Just For You" (http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/ … 858559208/). Don't feel bad if you've never heard of The Residents, it's actually what they're famous for. And now that I think about it, their song "Blue Rosebuds" might suit Miki and Kozue, in a sense.

One of these day's I'll get around to making 'em.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

Saturday Night Divas by the Spice Girls, believe it or not, sounds like it would make a good AMV to about Akio and Anthy's relationship. Before you smack me, hear me out.  It sounds like something post-revolution Anthy would sing to Akio about why she left him. She's been her own superstar all this time and he was a fool for treating her badly. Maybe you could also  include a little flashback part  to her warning Utena about how he may seem charming but he's a total bastard when he's not playing prince.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

Chances are good it's already been suggested, but 'Hotel California' would be brilliant for Mikage and Ohtori.

Also 'Wrapped Around Your Finger' by the Police for Anthy and- well, just about anyone, really.

Re: Have AMV ideas?

I don't know if these had been done before, but here goes --

Mary Jane by Alanis M.:  Take Anthy's POV and have the song directed at Utena.  Must include the following verses:

"You're the sweet crusader
And you're on your way
You're the last great innocent
And that's why I love you

So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish
Worry not about the cars that go by
All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom
Keep warm my dear, keep dry"

Adia by Sarah Mclaughlan: Take Utena's POV and sung to Anthy.  Include these lines:

"Adia I do believe I failed you
Adia I know I've let you down
Don't you know I tried so hard
To love you in my way
It's easy let it go"

and

"Adia I thought that we could make it
But I know I can't change the way you feel
I leave you with your misery
A friend who won't betray
I pull you from your tower
I take away your pain
And show you all the beauty you possess
If you'd only let yourself believe that

We are born innocent
Believe me Adia, we are still innocent
It's easy, we all falter, does it matter?"

Hope these choices are interesting enough.  Will go back to fine-tuning Seinen Kakumei Utena pt 3 now emot-smile

Re: Have AMV ideas?

\Eh, I've always had three on my mind, just these three.

1)  Stand By Me by Ben E. King  - It would be with a variety characters but more of an ironic thing, since relationships in Utena seem to get twisted so often.  I can see Touga and Saionji, some Nanami, Utena dueling, particularly Utena waltzing with Anthy during the msuical interlude and Anthy stabbing her through in the last episode.  That would be the one I'd love to do, this AMV, if I could ever find the energy to get my clips loaded.

2)  Slap by Ludacris - It could even be the first minute or so, preferably the censored version due to consonance, "I know it's strange / But my brain's gone really insane . . . I feel like slappin' somebody today (slap slap!)"  It's just depressed enough for me to look at Saionji and think, "Well, you've done a lot of this to yourself, but I'll give you part of your slapping song."

3)  Addicted by Simple Plan - I've wanted to do this one since 2006 ot '07.  It's so Saionji, teenagerish, him when he's being whiny and self-entitled - his song to Anthy, who's with Utena.  "I'm a dick -- I'm addicted to you."  "I think you know that it's true / I'd run a thousand miles to get you / Do you think I deserve this? / I tried to make you happy; I did all that I could / Just to keep you, but you left anyway!"  And the cry of "heart breaker! emot-gonk," man, I could really work with that.  For me, for that portion of his personality/growing portion of his life, there's no better song, and it amuses me. emot-biggrin
