Dolf's Sacrifice
This took me 3 days!And weeks gathering the episodes!
This is a tribute to one of my favorite childhood villains- Dolf (the Crow).He is from the Dutch/Japan anime "Alfed J. Kwak" based upon Herman Van Veen stories for children.I think this was too mature for children.The show presented such problems like: ecology, rascism, fascism, war and so on. It was about the life of a single duck-Alfred.
Info on Dolf: He was the son of a crow and...a blackbird! Thats why he had a yellow beak but he pasted it black out of shame for his genes (so dont tell anyone!).Since childhood he made fun of Alfred who was raised by a mole cause his whole family died.He was a school bully. When he was a teenager he became more serious and usually roamed the night streets looking for some action or valuable things to steal.Cause of his greed and skills he became a crook and sometimes even for hire (like for the dubious mayor of Waterland K.Rokodile).Dolf encoutered Alfred on multiple occasions in his life.Almost always it endend in a fight. Dolf went abroad for a couple of years and came back to Waterland with plans to overthrow the king (succesfull) and becoming the fascist leader of the new ruling group-The National Crow Party! But his plans where thwarted.After that Dolf tried to get back to power many times.Once he even campaigned for the first president of Waterland.He lost and had to fled the country becaouse of his evil deeds brought to daylight.Dolf became a wanted criminal and eventually was brought to justice by Alfred of course.On his last attempt he escaped from jail seeking revenge.He tried to kill Alfred and his girlfriend but that didint go also.He was recaptured by the police.Alas thats where the story ends.
A lot of the video is made in Sepia Tone effect so its supposed to look like memories.Also one may get the idea that Alfred is the baddie here.That is ok becaouse these are Dolf's memories and his angle on the case.
I think the music fits the video.Alfred and Dolf were friends...friends that had their difficulties...friends who became personal enemies.Sometimes the anime showed them as rivals and sometimes as buddies although Dolf always retained his rotten personality.And i dont think Alfred ever hated Dolf.Maybe at the end but he probably could find it in him to quickly forgive Dolf.I think he even blamed himself for how some things didint work out between them.
OK enought talking.Its just that for now this is my masterpiece so i had to yap about it.Most folks wont probably know what this is about but i hope they will like it anyway :) cause I enjoyed making it!
Have fun^^
