Christmas Shoes kingdom hearts style by tummer37

Inventive, but not without it's flaws.

newest amv is an interesting one, and the best way to describe it would be to compare it to a Christmas play. There's the actors, in this case Sora, young Sora, and Kairi, and then the characters, in this case the people portrayed in the song. It's not exactly a dub, because there are characters assigned to certain parts, and it's not exactly an amv, because the characters are speaking.

It's interesting to see how the author relates the song to the story, he tries to portray Kairi as a poor, sad woman, and I think what he wanted to get across was that Kairi is in shambles without Sora. The older Sora is talking about shoes, and how he must get them for his mother, Kiari, who he thinks really needs them. After thinking about it for a while, I came to the conclusion that the shoes represent Riku, who Sora is after so that Kairi can be at rest again. Maybe I'm thinking too hard, but if I'm not, Tummer is a kick-ass editor.

Speaking technically now, there are a few problems in his amv. I found it to be a little repetitive, for he mostly used the same clip for one character when it was time for that character to speak, and because he did, it wasn't lip-synced as well as it could've been. However, I understand why he did this. Maybe it was to better establish that one character, for example, Sora, was actually a character in the song, which would otherwise be hard to understand

Tummer's amv had a great theme and story, and although it had a few problems here and there, one can try and overlook them to see the bigger picture.
