SilkAMV's video: The Gliding of Hilda

Video: Hilda Song: Glider by Japanese Breakfast - Sable OST This video needs a bit of context. This song is from the video game Sable. In that game, you play a character who is embarking on a "Gliding" which is a coming-of-age journey that everyone in her clan does. The purpose of a Gliding is to go out into the world, do and experience all that you can, and decide who and what you want to be for the rest of your life. The opening of the game has you saying goodbye to your family, getting on your glider, and this song plays as you leave. It was a very emotional moment and I instantly fell in love with the song. For the video, because the game has you riding a glider, I wanted to use as many scenes as possible of Hilda riding something. A woff, a boat, a bird, a water spirit, anything. That sense of being carried along on an adventure just shines through better that way. For the ending scene, I picked a clip that I thought accurately reflected my feelings at the end of the video game. It was a very bittersweet moment, when the adventure was over, and it was time to choose to move on, but I still had that desire to get back out there and experience the world. Because I was limiting my scene selection to only riding/flying scenes, the video came together in less than a day. I almost uploaded it right away, but I decided to hold off and tweak it some more. I took an hour or so every day for the next week modifying it, switching things around, and tightening things up until I had it in a place I liked. Hope you enjoy it!
