Main Round 1: Team Tachibana Makoto/Yamazaki Sousuke

TITLE: "Liminal Spaces"
SERIES: Free!
SHIP: Tachibana Makoto/Yamazaki Sousuke
RATING: T
CHARACTERS: Makoto Tachibana, Sousuke Yamazaki, Innkeeper (brief, OC), Children (brief, OC)
SIDE PAIRINGS: NONE.
MAJOR TAGS: Minor Original Character Death (implied), Flashes (image and text, mild)
ADDITIONAL TAGS: Angst/Hurt, Injury (minor, very brief), Alternate Universe, Parallel Timeline, Space and Time, Post-Apocalypse, Dystopia, Rot and Decay (of buildings and nature), Media: Fan Video

SUMMARY: Sousuke, a lone vagabond, traverses across his dying world with only a picture and re-occuring visions as his leads. Faced with the harsh environment of what his world has now become, he pushes on as he feels a magnetic pull toward an unknown location.

WORK COUNT: Running Time - 2 mins, 40 secs (2:40)
SCRIPT: [script] and [image list]
NOTES:
• Definition: liminal (n.) - threshold; the place of transition; “in-between” spaces

1. Sousuke and Makoto start off in two different worlds (one that was wrecked by a calamity, while the other avoided it), yet a space exists in which the two planes intersect (hence where the title comes from).

2. Makoto is "ahead" of Sousuke in the timeline because Sousuke's dreams are a re-cap of Makoto's journey and where he has been. Sousuke uses that as his lead.

3. The polaroid picture of the safe house solidifies Sousuke's hunches that there's more to his dreams than he thought as he has a physical proof that something bigger is in the works.

4. Makoto's journey begins when he dreams of a world similar to his, but a catastrophe hit. The dreams, more like nightmares or an ominous prophecy, became too frequent that it disrupted his daily life and he set off to look for answers.

5. We wanted to construct this piece by looking at duality not only contrasting characterstics, but how their entire worlds are different, how social construct and situation shaped their personalities and experiences with society and environment (one is nurturing, the other is hostile).

holy shit i love the idea behind liminal spaces and i seriously got chills watching this, esp at the 2 min mark where it transitions and ahhhhhhhhhhh it is so good you guys did such an incredible job *___*

the music really sets the tone of the entire video and the art is also really nice, i especially love the contrast b/t the two worlds, how dull and monotone sousuke's is, which was a great contrast to when makoto's color one showed up it was such a nice shift esp w/ the swelling of the music it was just, such a good moment

also i'm super curious what video editing program you guys used, and do you plan on making this work remixable b/c i kind of want to play in this au sandbox you guys have made ;v;
