The third video of my How to Train Your Dragon music video series. The softer side of this one really appeals to me. If you've not seen HTTYD, I highly recommend you do. It is such an inspiring piece of animation. The selfless friendship between Hiccup and Toothless will never grow old.

❝ hope is the only thing stronger than fear –– ❞
a star wars/hunger games crossover (hit the jump for the full story and vimeo link)
created for the AU/Crossover Wonderland Contest https://youtu.be/AUYIr4Kjf_I

a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
Tucked away in a system far on the Outer Rim lies a planet in which dwells the nation of Panem. Its citizens, channeled only by news fed by the Capitol, never know the extent of the galactic rebellion far outside its borders, or even the terrors wrought by the Empire. The Capitol has its own problems, keeping its twelve districts in check and its people in bondage.
Luke Skywalker, hero of the Rebellion, finds himself drawn, by fate, by chance, by the Force… to the planet. There he meets Katniss Everdeen and discovers the horror of the Hunger Games. Something inside him tells Luke that change is going to happen here, that a new hope will rise from the victims of the Games itself to defeat the Capitol. Saddled with destiny, he volunteers as tribute and joins Katniss in the 74th Hunger Games. She intrigues him, with her fire, her sadness, her tenacity. She wants no part of his mystic idealism but in the end he breaks her shell with a few shared blows in the training arena.
Love is not what either tribute bargained for. But in the Games they confront their feelings. Katniss learns to smile again and Luke almost forgets the vision he had long before, about destiny, about fate. She finds comfort and hope in his arms.
And then it happens. A gang of violent tributes rush in to attack Katniss. Luke defends her, and his love for her, his hatred of the system that had drained her of so much life forge in him a darkness that ends with the slaying of the remaining tributes by Lukes hand. Katniss is shocked. It is then that Lukes vision becomes clear. It was not him who was to change Panem, but her. She is the hope, the hero, of this rebellion. He has to leave; she begs him not to. But love cannot change the fact that he fears his own hand, that he is still not the Jedi that is impervious to the dark side. And he will not trust her life to what he is capable of.
❝ about the vid
First off, thanks to Catty and Michelle of the TACWC for making this awesome crossover contest! Theres only one other video on YT featuring these two (that Ive found).
A personal breakthrough… my first major masking/Adobe After Effects extravaganza!! My sis and I made it together, and we had an absolute ball creating such a fine-tooth story out of our clips. They were a beast to work with sometimes (that kiss *shakes fist*), but completely worth it for the moments of squee when we got some clips or VOs to snap together perfectly. And we got to vid Katniss at long last! Theres so many cool parallels between her and Luke, both of them heroes of their rebellions. Making this vid gave us a heap of sudden shippy feels. *heart eyes*
