![]() ![]() ![]() We are already making something "new" by combining the video and audio, so to take things out of context and tell that brand-new story really is the whole point! Our goal as creative editors is to tell the story we want to tell, though, and we ultimately (to quote Tim Gunn) had to just make it work. I remembered Fullmetal Alchemist entirely wrong, and we therefore had no footage to show Lust being killed. That proved a little more difficult than I thought. What would the point of the video actually be, though…? One morning en route the train station, I had the brilliant idea: Spike would kill them all…! The whore was the most difficult to cast - we did not want to go with Faye, since the other characters were all from different universes, so who would it be? What notable female characters could work in this context? We eventually settled upon Lust from the first Fullmetal Alchemist due to it also being in 4:3, and her demeanor fitting in well with the rest of the cast. We ended up going with Alucard from the Hellsing TV series (as opposed to Ultimate in its 16:9 format) since he definitely has a gun at all times, and he seemed like he might work well clashing up with Spike. Choosing a notable character to act as the thief who holds up the main character at gunpoint was a tough one. We wanted to stick with shows in a 4:3 format to avoid cropping, so any more recent stuff was pretty out of the question. Wolfwood from Trigun was the second easiest to cast, literally being a preacher with baggage, conflict, greed, and internal torture. It was painfully obvious to us (as you will read later on) that Spike from Cowboy Bebop would make the perfect main character - Spike always works well with other series, and the old west vibe of the song fits in a little too well with the aesthetic of the show. We agreed that it should be a multi-source video with a well-defined cast of characters: (1) the main character who comes across these "wicked" folks, (2) the whore, (3) the thief, and (4) the preacher. It didn't take much convincing from Meri before I agreed to it.
