WIP Amnesty #1

[niko]

I've been poking around my hard drive for things that merit being posted for wip_amnesty  week, and while I've got a ton of WIPs that will never go anywhere, most of them are more sort of stream-of-conscious overviews than actual attempts at fic, so there's not much in a postable state this time around.

I did come across a couple things, though.  
 

First up: About 90 seconds of Ken-centric Weiss Kreuz music video, set to "Losing My Religion".  It's been sitting on my hard drive for *SIX* years.  I feel so old.  :(

This was my first (and only) attempt at vidding, so it was never going to be all that great, but I still like the concept and think it could make a good vid.  There are a lot of bits in the song that just speak to Ken's arc for me - the loss of innocence ('losing my religion') and the way he latches onto Aya ('trying to keep up with you') while Aya's always slightly ahead of him on the curve.

I wanted the second verse to segue into Gluhen - there are some really obvious clips to pull in there - but I was afraid that the shift in character designs would make it unworkable and I didn't have a backup plan to fill the rest of the video if that didn't work, so I kept putting it off.  (If the proof-of-concept had worked out, I also would have gotten a clean rip of the videos to get rid of the fansubs that clutter up the current vid.  ^_^ )

I never want to believe that my WIPs are really dead, even when I forget they exist (for a while).

Personally, I don't think the shift in character design would have made the video unworkable - or at least not unviewable as I would not have been doing any of the work - but I do now how such uncertainties can drown a project :x

I enjoyed this clip though. I was, oddly enough, wondering just the other day why, in all my time, I had yet to see a Ken video made with that song XD The Verbrechen und Strafe sequence seemed to work particularly well.
