Personal Choice Project - Anime Take Over!

Shiki's main stars


The Grand Revealing..~



The PCP was given to us and for a while I had a vague idea of what I wanted to achieve but I found difficulty making it fit into the guidelines. And finally, I've worked out how it's going to play out. This makes me a stupidly happy bunny. It's right in my comfort zone. It should play out in my favour. I'm so excited!

It's my Personal Choice!

As a hobby, I like to make MMV/AMV's (Anime/Manga Music Videos) it's something I picked up pretty quickly and it's something I never get bored over. I absolutely enthuse over throwing together scenes from my favourite anime's to create a cute montage, or an emotional roller coaster. It's like a giant puzzle and you decide the final image. I'm using this to my advantage!

I'll be using the horror anime Shiki, based upon Vampire's dominating over the Humans until they decide to strike back.

I'm hoping to achieve..

Shiki has a massive emotional message behind all the blood shed, which I really enjoyed. I managed to follow it throughout the entire series and it's impression on me is something I'm having trouble forgetting. The series as a whole has a lot of different aspects but the emotional hit was a big one for me.


My video is going to focus on the view of the vampires. They're portrayed as the bad guys, obviously because they're killing off the humans. But I think they're misjudged and I want to help get this opinion across with my short video.


I will be creating my own type using font struct and using it to piece together the video. Originally, I wanted to create something fancy but I think that combining two fonts will be more effective. I started creating a font, which you can see above, but I don't think it fits what I'm trying to achieve. I am going to create a more simple.. Basic type to use in my video then include a typical script font to highlight particular parts of my video.


The idea is to create a montage of scenes from Shiki, and overlay a soft piano tune while adding emotional speeches from the vampiric characters. The type will be used to subtitle the messages.

What's the Inspirations?

Inspiration wise, it's hard to say. I believe my typography skills are good enough to make the videos message effective to my audience, however Anime is not my strong point with editing. I do prefer moving image, but I always love a challenge. I'll leave a few of my AMV inspirations at the bottom of the post (as always) and below you will find my moodboard. Hopefully that lets you get a feel of the outcome of my project.



That's all you're getting so far! I'm not letting any sneaky previews out so far, I want to put them up after the videos up for a bit of extra detail. That's it for now so..

Watch this Space~! <3
