sting – Kestrelsempai Music Videos

This is music video shows off the bishounen of the Utena anime in a fun exercise in the power of editing.

One of the reasons I love to make fan music videos is the editing. Thanks to the human mind’s desire to tell a story, it’ll come up with the connection between two scenes that are placed right after each other, whether or not those scenes have anything to do with each other or not. This is lots of fun to play with. 🙂

The emotional Grave of Fireflies anime movie to Sting’s haunting song “Fragile”.

It took me 2 years to want to see this anime again after seeing it for the first time, it affected me so much. When I did watch it again, it was to create this video.

My intention was to make a music video that people, whether or not they had seen this anime, would not mind watching more than once. Please let me know if I succeeded.

I did manipulate the video to be consistently black and white. The anime movie has some duotone scenes, but the majority of the Ghibli film is in color.
