Song: "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield
Lyrics: azlyrics
Theme: Duck tribute
Spoilers: Yes
Review: This is a nice video, and the song chosen is really a great song for Duck.
There are some parts that are paired up with the lyrics quite nicely. One such place is when Duck is dancing Sleeping Beauty: "Sometimes my tries, are outside the lines." Immediately follows her dance with Rue, talking about not making mistakes, which Rue is quite adamant about for herself. (interestingly enough, she tells Duck not to worry about making mistakes in context...) But Duck is not like that, as the next clip exemplifies as she falls out of her bed (again). There are also some really nice flowing sequences when the chorus comes up. I like the use of Mytho with the lines "Reaching for something in the distance," as Duck reaches for the ideal of the Prince.
That said, I feel like the clips could have been used more effectively overall. For example, I really would have liked to see some incorporation of Princess Tutu dancing with the different heart shards/individuals needing help. I feel like that would have been a nice way to show Duck sharing the advice the song is giving her/using to describe her. Also, sometimes I felt like some clips were allowed to continue on for a while simply because they happened to be going already. Not 'exactly' filler, but close enough.
This video did not use very many 'effects.' That isn't necessarily a bad thing, and with the flow of the clips it still went rather smoothly. But I feel like there were more opportunities to make statements that weren't taken advantage of. Perhaps with more variety/better use of clips, as mentioned earlier, it would have been better with the few effects used.
I still rather like this video, and it has a nice connection with Duck. So while it's not amazingtastical, it's a nice thing to watch.
Overall Rating: 6/10
