I finally decided to give music videos a whirl and located Windows Movie Maker for the first time. :D I made my first vid and finished it today. It's a Cloud tribute, and a crappy one at that, but I thought it would be fun because I love the song and still can't get over how pretty AC is. :lust: A couple of Cleris moments are included, so I thought it would be appropriate to post here. I wanted to show how I view Cloud's relationships, mainly with characters like Aerith, Tifa, Denzel, and Marlene. I also go a little bit into Tifa's side of the story. ^_^

So, hope you guys enjoy, and if you're lovely enough to do it, I'd appreciate constructive criticism. :huggle:

If Everyone Cared

I just finished watching it, Luna, and I'd have to say I was extremely impressed. :woot:

My taste in music is a bit different...but I think the song goes great with Cloud, regardless. I really liked how, despite this being your first video, you still focused on matching the scenes with the lyrics and the rhythm of the song. Also, I'd have to comment on the editing, 'cos it was so well done. I would definitely encourage you to make more videos, and I know they'll get even better as you become more and more comfortable with the program. Overall, I really enjoyed it. :gift:

*pokes Luna*
One of my favorite Nickelback's songs :hyper: And you know who adviced me to listen it... But unfortunately I have a slow connection so would anyone be so kind to upload this video somewhere so I can dowload it? :unsure:

I really enjoyed that Luna- Nayru. I agree with Hades' Daughter, except that I absolutely love Nickleback.:blush: I am looking forward to seeing other work by you in the future. I don't have any technical advice because I have no idea how to do what you did but I know there are others on this forum I who can help you with that. I will say that I think the song you put with it is extremely important and should go with the scenes. I saw one video that was well edited but I didn't understand how the song was chosen for it even though the scenes went with the beat. Does that make any sense? I felt it took away from what you were watching. Okay I am done now, sorry. :unsure:

HD: Thank you so much for the encouragement. It means a lot. :huggle: I'm glad you still liked it even if you've got different tastes in music, since I love conveying a message that appeals to everybody, and thanks again for watching and for leaving such lovely comments. :)

Lynx: Mwaha... I'm spreading the love of Nickelback's FFVII-esque lyrics every day. XD Unfortunately, I don't have an account on any other video uploading site aside from YouTube... and I would try embedding the video right here, but I don't know how. :P If anyone has any clue how to do it and has a little bit of spare time on their hands, I'd appreciate it so much if you could embed the video here or tell me how to do it in HTML. Cookies are promised in return for any help. :gift: But thanks for stopping by, Lynx, and I'm sorry I'm HTML-incompetent. :headbang:

aerisbolt: Great to hear your advice, and don't worry about the technical stuff--the things you said are definitely great to think about when I'm making more vids in the future. Thank you so much for leaving your criticism, and your compliments. ^_^

(zomg nicklebak pawnzzz!!!11 :lol: )

Lovely vidz...the music is great, and I can see the effort you put in to match the lyrics with the clips ^^
I love the scenes you pick too... those with Marlene and Denzel, and Kadaj especially <3

Hope to see more from you in the future ^_~
