aka, We came alive at the moment we met...

Wow, it's been a long time since I uploaded anything HTTYD! But this week, I gobbled up my Internet data allowance and downloaded the Blu-Ray Hi-Def version of the main movie and Gift of the Night Fury -- and had to crank out a vid celebrating this new quality! I've always admired the crisp videos coming out of some of you folks in the Circle, and now I can have it, too! (Yay.) So I ended up making this instead of something else I'm supposed to be doing (HTTYD does that to people, LOL). I heard this song while searching for collab music for a vid by HTTYD2014 and me, and it just struck me as Hiccup and Toothless to a tee! Bam, I love that power. So here, y'ar. I hope the timings are still good. I'm sort of especially proud of the ending clip. I discovered a new layering technique that enabled two vids to each appear clearer even though they are overlaid.

And thumbnail perfection! (for once!)

Totally random, but I had to cap the automatic suggested tag by YT while I was writing this: inhonoredglory.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/not-true.jpg

The song is "Still Worth Fighting For" by "My Darkest Days" (how appropriate). The lyrics are below:

So hard to let go
And I still hear the sound
Of your voice singin' in my head
I can't surrender
'Cause the rope's slowly coming apart
But hangin' by a thread

It's gone on
For too long
And this is it

So take a look into my eyes one last time
So we never forget
The way we were before
When we came alive at the moment we met
This is still worth fighting
Still worth fighting for

A glass that's half empty
Won't wash away the mistakes
It only makes a mess
It's worth defending
A tiny glimpse of what it would take
To make us better yet

It's gone on
For too long
And this is it

So take a look into my eyes one last time
So we never forget
The way we were before
When we came alive at the moment we met
This is still worth fighting for

A love that wants to live
I'll give you all I've got to give
So let's try one last time
So we never forget
This is still worth fighting
Still worth fighting for

Now that we know just who we are
Now that we've finally come this far
I'm ready for one more battle scar
'Cause this is still worth fighting for

A love that wants to live
I'll give you all I've got to give
So let's try one last time
So we never forget
This is still worth fighting for
(I'm ready for one more battle scar)
This is still worth fighting for
(I'm ready for one more battle scar)
This is still worth fighting
We're still worth fighting for
