Hey everyone ! I hope you’re all having a great day !
The sun’s currently hitting pretty hard in France and I’m melting at this very moment. Besides that, Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) season 2 has been out for about a month and a half and it’s still lit af. It's kind of frustrating to know there's only gonna be 12 episodes after all this time.
I first hesitated on singing this opening since I was rather done with the fact that Revo was using the same ‘magic’ formula for this opening as well. The song has a closer vibe to Guren no Yumiya (op1) than Jiyuu no Tsubasa (op2) because of the way the verse is built (the repetition of 1st and 5ths on the bass, strings and wind lines) … but hey … that’s what we like about Revo and it somehow went stuck in my head after a while … which led me to sing the song (also because I’m such a background vocals/choir trash that I couldn’t let the opportunity to sing this song go).
Arranging the instrumental was quite tricky due to the ton of instruments involved but it made me learn quite a lot about orchestral instrumentation and the use of this or that instrument.
On the visual side, I did not want to go with a fully animated video this time since it rather tends to take ages to make, and I didn’t want to spend weeks on visuals. I first thought of making a very simple video with just a SNK picture with lyrics and maybe some particles but I felt it would’ve been a bit too simple and I didn’t like that idea.
Earlier this month I got a GoPro Hero+ camera, so I thought I might as well use it for this video.
I got the idea to include a glowing red heart in my chest as a reference to the original video from the opening. That was the first time I used actual motion tracking and it was very interesting to edit. The overall video editing process took me around 24 hours to finalize.
Also I would like to thank Kumo, Aya, Kusa and Mochi for having helped me on the visual technical part.
I hope you guys will enjoy this video. See you !
