My second Weiss Kreuz project, made back in May 2003. This vid is my blatant Ken/Omi shipping vid, made largely from the desire to show off Gluhen to a few reluctant fellow fangirls who had been turned off by the character designs. Ken/Omi is my favorite pairing in Weiss, and despite their not meeting again until the tenth episode of Gluhen, this video came together a lot better than I expected when I started it. Additional footage was pulled from the television series (Kapitel) and the OAVs.

The song used in this video is “Return (Coming Home)”, by the Cruxshadows. I’d been listening to it a lot at the time while working on a fanfic that loosely paralleled the concept of this video and it felt like a perfect fit.

Major Gluhen spoilers here, folks. Also, for those of you who have seen this vid before, it’s been completely remastered with clean dvd footage and improved sound. A couple of the scenes may be slightly different, as this is the version I entered in the Yaoi-Con 2003 AMV Contest.

http://flightfromdeath.com – Narrated by Gabriel Byrne (Usual Suspects, Vanity Fair, Miller’s Crossing), this seven-time Best Documentary award-winning film (Silver Lake Film Festival, Beverly Hills Film Festival) is the most comprehensive and mind-blowing investigation of humankind’s relationship with death ever captured on film. Hailed by many viewers as a “life-transformational film,” Flight from Death uncovers death anxiety as a possible root cause of many of our behaviors on a psychological, spiritual, and cultural level.

Following the work of the late cultural anthropologist, Ernest Becker, and his Pulitzer Prize-winning book Denial of Death, this documentary explores the ongoing research of a group of social psychologists that may forever change the way we look at ourselves and the world. Over the last twenty-five years, this team of researchers has conducted over 300 laboratory studies, which substantiate Becker’s claim that death anxiety is a primary motivator of human behavior, specifically aggression and violence.

Flight from Death features an all-star cast of scholars, authors, philosophers, and researchers including Sam Keen, Robert Jay Lifton, Irvin Yalom, and Sheldon Solomon culminating in a film that is “not only thought-provoking but also entertaining and put together with a lot of class” (Eric Campos, Film Threat). Three years in the making and beautifully photographed in eight different countries, Flight from Death is “a stimulating, ultimately life-affirming film, filled with big ideas and revelatory footage” (Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times).
