Notes:
There's not much to say about this video that you won't see when watching it (and I strongly recommend downloading the HQ file.) The intent behind this one is obvious: I wanted to make my own personal overview, something that includes all the aspects I love of this show, and there are many.
The action is pretty, and it seemed to work perfectly with the song even if I wasn't expecting it to. In fact I was sure the footage would need effects, but I almost didn't use any. I swear it wasn't my intention to have the implied slash in here, it's hard to pick scenes where they aren't in each other personal space (not that I complain.)
The song was clearly violated recut in more than one point, I needed the strong action upfront.
I had some technical issues I had never had before with this one (I'm still working on understanding how to fix them in the future), so you may spot a handful of sloppy frames in two scenes. I swear I lost 3 hours trying to fix them, but I think the project was corrupted and there was no way I could modify or hide them...so you know, I should have dumped the whole thing, and the only other possible solution was: 'FUCK YOU I'll post anyway' after hours of fiddling I managed to solve the issues, changed the video a bit, and reuploaded it. That means the Youtube version of it is the old one.
Lyrics:
Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away.
