$Tears are from the heart (NYAF 2009 Best Drama AMV) Anime: Clannad Song: Her Diamonds by Rob Thomas (C) Warner Music Group (WMG) This AMV can be downloaded from: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=170851 This is a amv that I made for AWAs 2009 Expo competition and New York Anime Festivals 2009 AMV competition. It took me almost 4 months of planning, storyboarding, and editing; and I actually managed to complete it an entire week before AWAs deadline. And although I say this about most of my amvs, I really think that this is my best one yet. This amv is also full of many different firsts for me. This is my first amv that uses DVD quality footage, my first to use audio that I purchased from iTunes, my first to be primarily edited with Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Pro 9.0, my first to use a mask/ cookie cutter effect/ tool (although, it is completely unnoticeable), my first one to be completed an entire week before its deadline, and my first AMV to win a AMV contest {New York Anime Festival (NYAF) 2009 Best Drama AMV}. Anyway, I really hope everyone enjoys this. I love how this song fits Clannad so nicely. Not exactly perfect, but it is still a very good fit. The part of this amv that I completed first was actually the middle {2:37-3:48}. And then, I built and molded the rest of the amv around it. When I first heard the lyric where Rob Thomas says She will be all right, just not tonight, I immediately knew that I wanted to make a Clannad amv where Nagisa dies at that moment. Also, I intentionally timed the words light and night to specific moments of the series that reflect those words. And just like those two words, I felt that the happy but melancholic feel of Clannad was a great contrast to the sad but uplifting feeling of the song. At first, I wanted to revolve this amv around Nagisas and Ushios tears (mother and daughter), but halfway through, I decided that I would not focus too strongly on tears untill the very end of the amv. And thats when I realized that Ushio would be a great focal point for the end of the movie. So I intentionally timed her saying No more at 3:53. I want to leave my audience with the feeling that Tomoya (the father/ husband) is talking about not only his daughters tears or diamonds on the floor, but also his own. I wanted to add the scene from the series where Ushio tells her father about her grandmothers rule that the only place you can cry in in your fathers arms, but the length of the song restricted me from doing so. And also, Im really glad that I found the quote that i decided to use as the ending of the video. Tears are words that the heart cant express David Harkins Primary Program Used: SONY Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Pro 9.0 (For editing and rendering) Secondary Program Used: ADOBE After Effects CS4 (For ending quote and title fade in) Song Lyrics Oh what the hell she says I just cant win for losing And she lays back down Man theres so many times I dont know what Im doin Like I dont know now By the light of the moon She rubs her eyes Says its funny how the night Can make you blind I can just imagine And I dont know what Im supposed to do But if she feels bad then I do too So I let her be And she says oooh I cant take no more Her tears like diamonds on the floor And her diamonds bring me down Cuz I cant help her now Shes down in it She tried her best and now she cant win its Hard to see them on the ground Her diamonds falling down She sits down and stares into the distance And it takes all night And I know I could break her concentration But it dont feel right By the light of the moon She rubs her eyes Sits down on the bed and starts to cry And theres something less about her And I dont know what Im supposed to do So I sit down and I cry two But dont let her see And she says oooh I cant take no more Her tears like diamonds on the floor And her diamonds bring me down Cuz I cant help her now Shes down in it She tried her best and now she cant win its Hard to see them on the ground Her diamonds falling down She shuts out the night And tries to close her eyes If she can find daylight Then shell be all right Shell be all right Just not tonight And she says oooh I cant take no more Her tears like diamonds on the floor And her diamonds bring me down Cuz I cant help her now Shes down in it She tried her best and now she cant win its Hard to see them on the ground Her diamonds falling down$
