video assignment : 5 seconds. 5 characters, 1 archetype

my archetype is heroes that don’t exist.

once again I’m working with anime, which means i spent 900 times as long on this assignment, and made everything as personal and perfect as possible.  these are some of my favorite characters.  its fascinating to me how you can really get so attached to things that are in no way real.  something that is completely generated from the mind of someone else.  these characters do not breathe think feel or choose.  but i still feel more connection with them then any person i see on tv.  they are in fact childhood heroes to me in a very real way.

this assignment like i said too forever.  finding the right I SECOND clip ( i could have done hours) took forever slowly weeding out video until i had a reasonable selection.  converting files, piecing it all together in the order that i wanted, reworking that order when i finally found the song i wanted, reworking it again for the clip i used, piecing those together.  ……but, i really enjoyed it…..yes i just typed that I’m not deleting it….because it was something i love.

its a little long which i think most ppl had a problem with as well but, i slowed down the last clip so technically it was a second of video i just changed it.
