▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬•❃°•°❀°•°❃•▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Cloud, whatever happens... don't blame yourself. I'll leave the rest to you. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬•❃°•°❀°•°❃•▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I really wanted to get this out for Clerith day, unfortunately I didn't have time as I started this video on the fly and in November, so I was cutting it fine. This is also my first video using only rotoscope instead of masking. It's far from perfect and not as clean as it could be in comparison to frame by frame masking, but it is what it is and it is the fastest I have ever completed a full video. The perfectionist in me is screaming, but my hands and wrists are grateful. I really love Aerith's character, and I love Briana White's version of her. I also knew as soon as I saw the Gold Saucer performance I had to make a lip sync video. I'm still living in Y2K when it comes to editing. One of my earliest uploads was a GMV of Yuna from X-2 singing. Nostalgia really hits hard. Although, hopefully I've improved since then. •❃°•°❀°•°❃• • // Concept/Story: This video is based on the rumours from back in the day on the multiple methods on how to revive Aerith. Breed a Golden Chocobo, max out a CURE materia, collect the Earth Harp. Desert Rose, and Guide Book, win all the battles in Gold Saucer's 3D arena including the 5th invisible enemy and gift the items to a man in Kalm. Go back to the Church and find Aerith's ghost. L1+R1+Circle. This IS Hades. Let's roll, homie. Obviously, there's no way to revive Aerith, so this is where the video picks up. Cloud is haunted by his guilt, visits the church for old time's sake and has one last glimpse of Aerith while he remembers. •❃°•°❀°•°❃• • // Credits: Associated with: ‪‪@ascensionchroniclesstudio‬ Song: Upwards to the Moon - Sa Dingding from Ashes of Love (左手指月 - 薩頂頂/萨顶顶 香蜜沉沉烬如霜) Voice over: Mena Suvari/Steve Burton (Advent Children), Briana White/Cody Christian (Rebirth) Footage: Final Fantasy Advent Children Complete, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Crisis Core Program: Vegas Pro 18, After Effects (Rotoscope) •❃°•°❀°•°❃• • // Thanks to: ‪@hattergames8779‬ for providing the Rebirth and Remake cutscenes ‪@Lacrymosai‬ ‪@sing4777isapotato‬ ‪@s-dragonxiii1021‬ for beta testing •❃°•°❀°•°❃•
