Curse of my oblivion

Contest video of AMVNews: Big Contest 2010

Author's comment: Hi everybody ! So now I’ll present you my clip for this contest : Curse. Like my previous work, it’s a dark amv. Curse is an “odd” amv. You don’t have a story but 5 stories adapted from classical Japanese literature : No Longer Human (Osamu Dazai 1948), In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom (Ango Sakaguchi 1947), Run Melos (Osamu Dazai 1940), Kumo no ito (Ryunosuke Akūtagawa 1918), Jigoku Hen (Ryunosuke Akūtagawa 1918) (You can see these authors in my outro). Of course in 2,30 I can’t (even in 2hours) retell these stories which are bestselling in Japan. But I use them for my main plot/concept : The downfall of men. I only hope you’ll understand basises (who kill who for what…xD). You can check these stories by watching Aoi Bungaku or Wikipedia.

Music is from Soap&skin (it’s her in outro) an austrian artist. Thanatos is a lively song (although it evokes clearly the death). I really love her universe…Check her myspace :) you’ll get surprised (outro song is from her too : Turbine Womb).

I spent ~ 50 days on this AMV. Tons of masks and rotoscopy were used.

Hope you'll enjoy this !

Thanks for watching :)
