FFVII: Courage Is Solid
Here lies one whose name was writ in water.
Hi, sorry I've been so inactive lately. :)
So this is my Final Fantasy VII / Metal Gear Solid trailer for Scyppend Top 6. Original trailer's here:
• Video
Starring...
ANGEAL as SNAKE
I thought this was a pretty good match as they're both dedicated soldiers and the old, tough guy type. Both are very serious, especially about their work, and are the very best at what they do. Angeal also suits Snake's low, rough voice.
HOJO as LIQUID
These two could seriously be brothers. Apart from anything else, they look alike. They both have old, drawn faces with big cheek bones and both have the cute little glasses look going on - seriously, if Liquid got rid of his tash and dyed his hair black they'd be veeeery hard to tell apart. Also, Hojo, like Liquid, is the real evil guy of vii (Seph is just a bit deluded) and is insane and deranged. They both have that classic evil laugh which is funny to watch (but a nightmare to mask...). I chose Hojo too because no-one ever seems to use him in a vid (I was attempting to get as many not-very-often-used characters in there) but I soon realised why, coz he has zero footage. There is /one/ clear shot of his face in the whole of ffvii. All but one of Vincent's memories has his face blacked out, and he barely makes one cutscene in CC. But whatever.
SHALUA as NAOMI HUNTER
This kind of makes sense: the two pretty sciencey-medic types. Quite serious, quite strong, but quite nice.
BAHAMUT SIN as VARIOUS WAR MACHINES
Metal Gear may have plentiful machines and guns and explosions, but nothing destroys buildings quite like a summon.
LAZARD as ROY CAMBELL
Makes a brief, two-shots appearance: these two are both in control and dishing out the orders.
ZACK as RANDOM SOLDIER WHO GETS BEATEN UP / WHO PUNCHES SNAKE
Because Zack is a soldier, who isn't as experienced as Snake/Angeal, and who only usually uses a sword, so probably would forget to take the safety off a gun.
EDIT That guy ^ is actually called Akiba/Johnny (thanks anime00mgsffkh123!)
SHELKE as THE CONCEPT OF TECHNOLOGY / SOP / THE MONITORING OF SOLDIERS
Because Shelke does actually monitor all the soldiers and squads in battle with her neuro network thingy. Didn't need a character for this, and it isn't strictly a role, but seeing as she's in it so much because of the technology thing, I thought I should mention her here.
GENESIS AND SEPHIROTH as RAIDEN AND VAMP
This would totally work, what with their big battle just like Raiden and Vamp. Genesis has a very Raideny voice too (though you don't get to see that in this trailer) and Vamp is evil like Sephiroth (sorry Vincent, but you never did fight with anyone vagely Raidenish).
ROSSO as THE BLONDE LAUGHING WOMAN
Sorry! I don't know her name and all I have to go on is a laugh, and I couoldn't find her in the script. But she seems really evil and dangerous, like Rosso, and Rosso laughs a lot too, so...
EDIT The laughing woman is actually Laughing Octopus (thanks Feta19!)
And one person I forgot to mention is..
CLOUD as EVA
In the words of Clover27: "both are sexy blondies riding a motorcycle" Enough said. :)
And I added a little extra on the end from another trailer which had that after the credits.
I tried to do stuff like mimic the lighting, and I changed the colour of that red fleck in titles to make it seem more 7ish. I'm not going to say what I think of it. And btw, off out so won't be able to reply to your comments til tomorrow! Sorry.
