I've been wanting to do a Escaflowne AMV for quite some time now. The TV series that is. I've been watching it late at night during my early youth and have the fondest memories of it. However, the songs never seemed right for an AMV. Then in early 2021 i heard this song in yet another Nostromo Japan travel video and the mood seemed just right. However, the lyrics were a catastrophy up to the point that i'm convinced they were written by an AI as a joke. I couldn't confirm this but if you find anything about the background of this song, please let me know. The lyrics were the one offputting thing about this AMV idea, but finally i was confident to make them work at least 60% of the time.
When the end of October 2021 came by, i just couldn't let this idea rest anymore and started to edit. Editing was fun and came rather easy and so most of the AMV was done within 10 days. Due to beta feedback from my friends ceddic, JCD, Noss, Sojiro and VideoBeats i decided to let the almost finished video rest for a bit to overthink some of the parts. Then in early December i made the final push and here it is.
I'm currently working on another AMV which is almost done. However, i likely won't be able to put it on YouTube for some time due to Rammstein blocking all reuploads of this song. I will make an announcement on YT and Twitter once the AMV becomes available elsewhere. There also could be yet another new AMV in early January. And a new Lupin III TV series is currently running, so you know what that means.
Finally, I have been consuming tons of Media in 2021. I never watched more Anime or played more Video Games in any given year. I also played and finished almost all of the TLoH/Trails games (Sky/Zero/Azure/Cold Steel) and it was mainly due to the Cold Steel series that i came to edit this AMV. Having 'Trails' in the title of this AMV is a nod to that. I also acknowledge, that i've become less productive and i'm not sure what this means for the long term future. But for now i will keep pushing. So, see you next time!
