It was just a video made to look pretty. Focusing on nature. It was a finalist in AWA PRO 2020.
It is the most complicated video I have ever made. I have spent more time on it than any other video (I have been editing since 2002).

Breakdown of the baby scene (it is pretty buggy, apologies)
"Making of" the whole thing

I know this video is not as complicated as many here on AMVnews, but it was a big deal for me.

In 2020 I had the honor to create a secret santa AMV for VideoBeats. After skipping through her favorite anime list I decided to work with Yuru Camp. I think I have only seen very few AMVs with this anime so far, so I wanted to try. The song choice I made was not my first pick. I didn't even consider it. It just happend to run in my spotify playlist while I was setting up the project and I thought "...why not this song?". In the end it turned out better than I expected and I hope VideoBeats is happy with it!

Story :
At a time when the rich man was bullying the poor in 1876,
the story begins about a boy who wants revenge against people who killed his family,
and so he sends his friend, who is a journalist, who photographed the people who killed his family,
and there begins his story.
Okay, this is probably the best video I've ever made. Enjoy it .....

So I actually started this one immediately after "Abstract" since I had so much fun editing with openings/endings. Unfortunately, I had forgotten how much I hate editing with pop songs so I ended up doing nothing with this for a few months *sigh*. This is pretty silly and fast paced (and I haven't actually seen over half the anime I used) but I think overall I like it. My next amv will be a slower paced "serious" one though....whenever I get to finishing it....

This amv was spezialy made for another amv artist. The challenge was to edit something that he/she likes alot.
So thats why I found this anime and a very cute kpop song.

I was plesently surprised about the creativity of this one and I might use it for future projects aswell!
There was alot of troubleshooting I had to adapt to. different fps, shacking footage and also the problem of a low resolution. I could fix the most and also upscaled it to be watchable :)

I hope you enioy a very simple but romantic amv from a time long long ago <3
