東方 Piano/Ambient ~ And then there were... [Schwarzwald]

"...none. A lonely vampire, along with an empty Scarlet Mansion." Man, it's already that time of the year. I can't believe how fast October went by. I don't know about you folks, but I totally didn't see the month come or end. Pretty crazy how time works sometimes, I'll say. ...Either that, or my notion is time is horrid. So anyway. I really wanted to do something special for this Halloween, even if I'm not exactly enthusiastic about this event anymore. It's probably a mix of many things, if I had to guess. I don't upload on a daily schedule anymore, both the theme and the circle happen to be favourites of mine... All sorts of different feelings simply gave me the needed burst to do something and do it right. I can proudly say that this the video that I've put the most effort into yet, so I'm definitely satisfied. My biggest goal with this project was to explain a story through the pictures. I mostly inspired myself based on how Shujiki used to do things, although saying that I did just like how he did would be a vast overestimation. I have no idea if my idea even came out right or not, but at least I tried to make something, I suppose. It follows the story of Flandre, who becomes free from her room after the door suddenly unlocks itself. Overjoyed, she bursts out of her prison and flies around the entire mansion, rediscovering every corners as humanly possible. Hours pass, and a thought suddenly crosses the young vampire's mind; "Where is everyone?" She assumed that they were off to the shrine for a party or special occasion, and thus held that thought away. However, soon hours became days, and days became weeks. The mansion was still empty. Loneliness invaded the young vampire's mind, who wanted contact with someone. "What's the point of being free if there is no one to greet you?" she thought. The hope that everyone will come back still was fresh into her heart, although despair was still closely following. Once weeks became months, her mind shattered. She went back to the basement, where loneliness was only but usual, and sank into a deep, eternal sleep... That's about the gist of it. I've put a decent amount of time into the idea, but it's definitely nothing to be taken seriously as a whole. It was simply something to go along such a gloomy track, and I do hope that it did its duty. Anyhow, with that being said, I wish you all a Happy Halloween, with many candies or any snacks for those who don't fancy such sugary substances! Take care, ladies and gentlemen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pictures used : bon - http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1060760 ichiba youichi - http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2137346 tamae (pixiv40276) - http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1357134 toutenkou - http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2046112 http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2521518 Circle : Schwarzwald Original theme : Crimson Belvedere Album : per speculum in aenigmate
