Notes
I got the idea for this vid around the time I finished my first vid, about ten months ago. Basically, I wanted to tell William's story and the moment he definitively becomes a young man.
On my first attempt to vid this, some six months ago, I found myself intimidated by the instrumental music. I instinctively tend to vid to the lyrics, which can be a strength, but it also has limited me a number of times. It wasn't until I had the pleasure of betaing ladymajavader's Powrót that I saw how an instrumental piece could be used to its full potential. Powrót served as an invaluable inspiration and creative tool for me during the process of completing this vid.
