Bitter Almonds | Beastars AMV | Big Contest 2020 - 2nd place

My entry Big Contest 2020 - Making of: Poster: (made by Lampi) When I first found this song I wanted to save it for an eventual Banana Fish AMV, but after watching Beastars it just felt way too perfect. The upbeat but actually pretty dark vibes the songs gives is a perfect match for Beastars and I don’t even have to mention how well the lyrics fit. I really liked the way the anime itself used panels and I wanted to enforce that. The panels along with some handdrawings gave me enough energy to keep up with the fast paced song even where the scenes alone felt short. I paired this all up with a paint-ish theme. And then in the second half, well, let’s just say that I intentionally went against things I believe are right, just to force myself into doing something differently.
