Purged Memories

Клип участник конкурса AMVNews: Level Up 2011

Eny: After re-watching one of the final EF's episodes I thought..."What if Chihiro couldn't be saved after all? What if she had to remain forever trapped in her own soul?" With this in mind I just grabbed the original story that she wrote in the anime and gave it my own twist. If Chihiro couldn't be saved by the one she loved, she would have been forever lost inside her own little island until the day she eventually grew tired of it, tired of all the things she couldn't comprehend even if she wanted to and then decide to just erase it all, including herself. With no one to show her the possibilities of a "real" human life, the God -- Chihiro -- ends up destroying, in seconds what took ages to build by simply burning it all down to ashes.

For this AMV I tried to show how life was for Chihiro after she started to slowly discover what it was like to be loved and to love someone back and the despair she felt when she realized she couldn't have the person she wished for. With her memories disappearing after a rather small amount of time in the real world and the "windows for reality" -- her paintings -- becoming blurry no matter how hard she tried to stop it in her own world, she ended up lost in herself not knowing where to go next or what to do with her feelings until she just collapses and finally succeeds to end all her suffering.

In the end, instead of saving her...love only made her inevitable destruction arrive faster...

Aimo: A fantastic piece of work with excellent storytelling and video atmosphere. The sadness from the story is portrayed well through use of voice-overs and typography.Novice was also very easy and fun to work with as she accepted the critique I offered and tried to make use of feedback to improve the video. Overall, I am very pleased. :)
