Anime: Howl's Moving Castle
Music: English Drive/Opening Credits (The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill But Came Down A Mountain OST)
Artist: Stephen Endelman
Description:
During November, violetskies hosted a Bentovid server editing challenge called Shabu Showdown. The aim of this challenge was over a four week period, there would be a theme each week which participants would create a video around. Additionally we had bingo cards containing certain video editing elements we also needed to incorporate into our videos to try and attain bingo, or Shabu (additionally we could watch other participants videos and claim secondary bingo squares, getting the coveted Shabu Shabu). This is one of the videos I made for this challenge. I didn't upload these videos initially as I made them quite hastily and for the first time in my life I didn't consider them "done". However I have come to the conclusion that realistically I'm never going to try and finish them, as I've mentally moved on, so I'm uploading them now.
This video was made for round 1, where the theme was around different schools of magic. I chose the "golem" school of magic and thought it would be fun to make an AMV specifically about the castle from Howl's Moving Castle. I had chosen the anime first, so I did a bit of a scramble to find fitting music. Eventually I decided on this song from The Englishman OST as I really love it, and it's something that I'd considered wanting to edit with before but never had any idea of what would suit it (also, there's a veeeery tenuous Welsh connection between these sources so that makes happy).
I had no idea what to title this, so I went with a spoof of a title of another AMV I've seen.
