Vid Rec: Cloud Strife | What I've Done

This is going to be a very biased recommendation. I approached (secretlytodream) on Tumblr for a vid commission, having seen her gorgeous Marvel vids especially the Steve/Bucky ones. She agreed despite not having created an anime/video game vid before, which I thought was brave of her.

What ensued were my attempts to explain the very complicated nature of the FFVII Compilation Verse and specifically how it all related to Cloud Strife: the vid is a character study of Cloud entwined with the history of the three most important people to him and who shaped him into the man he is in FFVII: Advent Children. The collaboration involved a lot of back and forth with me trying not to sound like a demanding fangirl and (secretlytodream) patiently trying to fit it all into a vid with her expertise. She did an outstanding job on the vid and I urge you all to go see it if you're an FFVII fan^_^

This was recced over on the stuckyanonymous comm on DW: "Google translates the title of this vid (and the title of the song) freely as "We do not live without each other". But the the literal translation is more like "We do not live, friend without friend".

A gorgeous Steve/Bucky vid set to a melancholy Russian song, English subtitles are available, incorporating all three movies with superb editing. The lyrics along with the colours really evoke the sense of a great love story/tragedy.

Highly recommended!
