Before you slay me because this is not a complete tribute of Cloud (but partially) let me explain what i wanted to communicate with this video. I wanted to make a video about Cloud being guilty, to have unintentionally hurt and changed their friends' fate (Cloud from Advent Children is not enough for me lol) that's why i included Tifa, Zack and Aerith.Cloud is still feeling guilty and useless and want to help, but he can't because of the situations that cannot be changed.Like the song, he is perceiving himself like a continue bunch of mistakes because he can't change the fact (the canvas) that their friends hurt or died because he couldn't do anything, amplifying the concept with the word 'masterpiece'. Doing a FULL video only including Cloud's clips is possible but in a way more semplified that doesn't fit my style, my way is too use lots of clips for a single second (as you have noticed here xD) i need to use 5 compilations to create barely 2 minutes of editing, i'm sorry xD.This is my first video over 3 minutes after YEARS, congrats to myself lol.I think that is song reflects a lot Cloud's personality (AC) and when i listened to it i couldn't help to like a lot (and i almost cried because of the editing) and associate it with him. I hope you like it.
