It's been a couple of months since I've done a fanvid. And, the truth is I've been working on this one on and off for about a month or so. I once saw a vid that put together scenes from the film version and anime version of Honey and Clover. It was brilliantly done and the scenes flowed together so well. Being a huge fan of anything Honey and Clover I decided to try my hand at it.
I decided to use the Japanese film version, which kept some scenes and most of the storylines, but changed a bit of the characterizations; the Japanese drama version, which kept the storylines but made a lot of changes to the characters and scenes; and the Taiwanese drama version, which is closest in terms of characters, settings, and storylines, but is also the ones fans seem to dislike most. (Weird)
Anyway, I chose the song Life is Beautiful because I felt it really grasp the story of Honey and Clover - six ordinary art students just trying to figure out who they are, what they want, and who they love.
Title: Life is Beautiful
Song: Life is Beautiful by Vega 4
Disclaimer: I do not own the song or the clips used. I just edited the clips.
Details: WMV file. 58.76 MB. 5:21 minutes.
Theme: Just look at the friendships and love triangles within the story of Honey and Clover using clips from the Japanese film, Japanese tv drama, and the Taiwanese tv drama.
WARNING: Spoilers for the films and television series!
Vidder's Note: I think I said it all above, but there is one more thing: if you are wondering why more clips from the Tw-drama weren't used, it's simply because the quality of clips was lower for that drama (I converted the episodes from .mp4 to .avi) and thus they looked slightly off. Also, there are no subtitles for it, so I watched RAW and more or less watched for the Morita/Hagu stuff.
