I actually got the idea for this video when I was listening to a dutch radio station via the Windows Vista sidebar. I instantly fell in love with the song “Viva la vida”. It didn’t take long to match it up to Maou;) A lot of elements are basically there in the lyrics to finetune a fanvideo to.

The concept of the video is made of three components “good & evil”, “angst”, “character profile”. I’m re-telling the story of Maou and emphasizing the relationship between Naruse and Naoto. This amplifies the “angst” content, so I bet it makes great fandom inspiration. Since Coldplay hints towards a religious theme in their song, I’ve used this key element to try and create some depth to Naruse when it comes to the video itself. It has a beautiful etherical sound, which I love.
Parts to look out for:
- Start tapping your finger to the beat at 1:40m and continue doing that for at least 10 seconds. You will start to notice some magic.
- Best lyric match: Revolutionaries wait for my head on a silver plate, just a puppet on a lonely string….
- At around 3 minutes it’s just “Godly”. I love to use natural camera movements to emphasize something.
If you’re going to use the lyric subtitles, please watch the video *raw* first. If all went well you’d be encouraged to hear slightly different things through the imagery of the video.
Please enjoy, comment and share~!
