The Demigod's Trial | Proteus' Audition

(I tried so haaard and get so faaaar etc...)

Despite having more time than usual cause I'm on vacation I could not finish this ;(... I never realized how difficult it is to make this type of video (I did try to audition with COTH but gave up halfway lol) There are so many things you have to consider! the story you have in mind maybe can't go with the footage you have, the time of the dialogues has to go with the images, the clips have to go with the music... Practically I almost died doing this, but I'm still satisfied cause this was the hardest video for me to make.

Here are some info on the story for those who are interested:
Sinbad has been dead for some time now, but Protues can't accept this and keeps having visions of him.

Proteus and Sinbad are brothers, Proteus is 21 while Sinbad is 35.
In the village they are the only sons of Nemesis the Goddess of Revenge and Retribution (I like Nemesis a lot!!, she's like the Goddess of karma basically). Considering the age gap it was Sinbad who raised Proteus, so they are each other family, for this reason they care less about their parents than other demigods. They still invoke Nemesis and do sacrifices for her but they consider her an entity too much above everything and everyone, so they don't even hope she could be the motherly type.
They don't care about their mortal fathers either cause they have no idea who they are.

They dream they could leave the village and see the world outside, and they resent Zeus and the other gods who decided to imprison them inside the village for no apparent reason. Their biggest hope is some justice for the people of the village.

It is very unlikely that they could be chosen by the gods cause they are too hostile towards them.
Proteus had a good reputation inside the village but after his brother's death people could see him talking by himself all the time and they started to consider him a madman.

Personality: kind-hearted, strong-willed, pragmatic, at times cheeky

Backgrounds footage:

Movies used: Sinbad the legend of the seven seas, Helcules, Mulan, The Road to Eldorado, Atlantis, Pocahontas, The Prince of Egypt

The picture of Nemesis in the thumbnail is from the comic Murena, I added the sword and the wings :3

Spero in tutta sincerità che il fatto che l'audizione sia incompleta non ti pregiudichi di passare, perché onestamente, soprattutto per via della creatività e dell'originalità della storia che hai profilato, credo che questa sia la mia audizione preferita...
