“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”
– Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist
I went through two other drafts for this round, but neither of them really clicked with me. One of them was a long story video, but I’m really burnt out from my TPC vid, and I didn’t want to overdo it and put SO MUCH effort into a project I wasn’t all that fond of in the first place. So I decided to go with a less complicated video, something that wouldn’t take a lot of energy.
I settled with a pretty simple tribute video for Noctis. “Dawn” is like… one of the main themes in FFXV, as Noct sacrifices himself to bring back the dawn. It’s his “punishment”—he’s the one who will bring back the light and save everyone, but only at the cost of his own life. So I tried to follow his story line while keeping the given quote in mind.
Special thanks go to my friend Hayley for giving me this idea, and to ZombieFluff for the HD
