Muse, your videos, this AMV.

On a side note, a fair number of songs from the Absolution album sound to me like they'd make great Utena AMV material as well...

(Adolescence) Apocalypse Please

Butterflies and Hurricanes (Ode to Utena)

(Juri's) Time is Running Out

Sing for Absolution (Also Juri-centric)

Then again I also think... well, actually just about any song off that album would work, I just listed the most fitting ones I could come up with atm.

Thanks

Really? I guess now that you point it out that perspective could make sense as well, but while part of the song doesn't jump out at me as having appropriate Juri/Shiori context to fit perfectly, the second verse in particular is what sells it for me:

I wanted freedom
bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
but I'm addicted
now that you know I'm trapped
sense of elation
you'd never dream of breaking this fixation

Those just scream episode 17 in my mind's eye. Most specifically the last three lines, those just fit so perfectly with Shiori finding the locket, her scene in the elevator, and finally the awakened Duelist seeking out Juri and flaunting her newfound "power".

...Thank you for bumping a thread containing one of the most embarrassing posts I've ever written in my history at this forum


Speaking of which, sharnii? If you happen to catch a glance at this, please accept my apology for shoving my idea in your face so inconsiderately. It wasn't until I noticed weeks later I hadn't received a response that I actually looked at it again, and fuck if it isn't painful to do so. In my short-sighted excitement I demonstrated a distinct lack of tact in my writing, and nothing is more shameful to me than knowing I can't fix that kind of mistake.

That said, once again... I'm terribly sorry about that.

Hey guys, I love you!



Also, is it possible to upload the vid again? This is one of the ones I never saw...

Edit: Also, sharnii, I saw you did an Akio vid for Monster, but I've also got an idea for an AMV for that song. What's the etiquette for this, on the off chance that I ever try to make the AMV?

You should just put up an archive of all your vids on some cyberlocker, password protected and named something innocuous so hopefully it doesn't get noticed by the copyright gestapo. Then put the password here in image form so only registered members can see it.

BTW, there's another video that got pulled that I really liked and would love to see again.  I'm not sure if it was one of yours though.  It was mainly footage from the movie, set to Bruce Springsteen's "Tramps Like Us."
