[VD: An AMV featuring L from Death Note’s death to the sound of “You Give Love A Bad Name” by Bon Jovi. It shows L’s shocked face as lights flash and they sing, “shot to the heart” before cutting to Light’s reaction as they sing “and you’re to blame”, then focusing on Light’s eyes only as they sing “darling, you give love a bad name”. A high pitched eletric guitar sound plays as L drops the spoon he was holding in slow motion, then falls off his chair, also in slow motion. Then it makes distorted sounds before Light jumps to catch L’s fall, right as the singer says “an angel’s smile is what you sell”. It shows Light looking shocked at L, then L looking up dazedly at Light as they sing “you promise me heaven then put me through hell”. L’s flashbacks play out as they sing “chains of love got a hold on me, when passion’s a prison you can’t break free. Oh, you’re a loaded gun, yeah,” by that last part, it shows Rem’s death as well, then goes back to flashbacks. “Oh, there’s nowhere to run, no one can save me, the damage is done” as the entire screen turns out. It then fades back into L’s eyes as they sing “shot through the heart, and you’re to blame”, he looks shocked up at Light, who smirks, eyes glowing red, as they sing “you give love a bad name (bad name). I play my part and you play your game, you give love a bad name (bad name). Hey, you give love… A bad name,” by the end, L’s eyes close slowly, and the guitar fades out. End VD]
Was listening to this song while rereading Death Note and had the idea to make this. It was supposed to be crack but it ended up working seriously a lot better than expected, so… You can take it however you want, I guess
So I found out a little while back that Filmora has some pretty decent blue lightning/electricity SFX. And when listening to Caleb Hyles’ version of “Ultraluminary” the other day, I realized I could put something together for my Medieval-era mage character, Liam Gallagher. The style of music I typically picture for him is definitely more along the lines of Celtic rock/metal, but for some reason I just found this song fitting for how he loves to show off with his magic.
His magic is a very powerful type of blue plasma; it has the properties of neon, photons and electricity. It can most commonly replicate lightning, but can also create functioning semi-solid objects such as wings, weapons, shields etc. Liam is very proud of his power, and loves to put on dazzling light displays - both to impress an audience and to intimidate potential enemies. When he’s calmer or doesn’t have as much surplus energy to expel, his ‘performances’ appear more like the northern lights.
Caleb’s voice range in this song is also pretty similar to how I imagine Liam’s voice, except he’d have a strong Irish accent.
The background imagery comes from various videos - and a gif - of blue plasma globes (the links are listed in the Vimeo caption)
