For an artist, sometimes the best way to measure the quality of one's work is to view it years of time and experience later, and to see how well one's work stands in our own estimation.
That said, my second attept at music video editing and directing, I usually refer to this video as my first "real" Anime Music Video. I sometimes think about the difference DVD quality video and CD quality music makes. Case in point, my first AMV was cut from whatever bootleg fansubbed video I could find online. Needless to say, this video is by far my favorite of the two.
As I reflect on the video itself, my eye is drawn to the opening idea of contant fade-to/fade-from black: a technique I used to draw a feeling more of a dreamlike series of images before a movie style music video.
Add to that the subtle cross fade to add a sort of wraith-like quality to some of D's movements. And finally, I would ask you to note the subtle (or not so subtle) use of some of the film's own sound effects.
I have been thinking about going through this video and doing a little 4 year later cleanup. of the things I would change to lend a more polished look to it, when some of the scenes were cut too close, 2 or 3 frames of the film would blink through. I feel because of how they cut so abruptly at certain points, it makes the video as a whole seems a bit chopped and hastily done. aside from that, one scene as a whole seems to bother me. If i were to redo this video, i would replace scene with D and the woman in white. i feel as though it draws away from the theme of the video; derails it, almost.
In my estimation as the author, editor, director, and (i think) critic, it is my opinion that aside from a few minor editing flaws, and an ending that was too abrupt, this was, when I made it, and still is, a fine video.
Asche-Zu-Asche.
