COUP DE GRACE

AKROSS CON 2014
FINALIST
Hi Everyone. Really glad to be participating for the first time in this competition. I initially didn’t plan this and was only going to spectate simply because I had an AMV which I started earlier this year and got bored of it.

Coup de Grâce alludes to several metaphors associated with falling in love, the internal emotional struggle that occurs before the attraction turns into a stronger definition.

I wanted to make a something that felt like a “music video performance” think Michael Jackson’s thriller i.e. to have a basic story, dance routine, and artist performance. Really happy with the turnout. Might decide to make a “making of” if there is an interest for that.

I will like to thank S.T for making these lovely posters (http://s925.photobucket.com/user/andrewbeevfx/Coup_de_Grace/story) and also helping me at moments when I just couldn’t find a good matching source.
I hope you guys enjoy watching this as much I had fun making it and wish every contestant good luck! Cheers.

At least the credits part was well done. This was an amv with scenes I have seen too many times before. Your concept was "falling in love". I do not know though, how much emotion overused scenes from random openings can provide to enhance this feeling.
And that girl from Angel Beats! have sung in so many genres, from death metal, via Taylor Swift to Calvin Harris, apparently.
You see, it is a good starting point to have taste in general, but then you might want to make a video with a point for Akross. If no, then sorry, this is only my opinion, good luck :wink:
