The Wonders At Your Feet - Fanlore

The Wonders At Your Feet is a Berserk action AMV that focuses on the violent and brutal aspects of the series. The AMV was uploaded to YouTube by fans in 2006.

Although there is a Berserk anime series, this vid was created solely with scenes from the Berserk manga. The creator used many different and highly sophisticated techniques to help achieve motion or a sense of motion, including pans & zooms, distortion effects, animation created by using multiple layers, and adding moving rain/blowing grit.^[1] In addition to that there are several fast cuts in some of the fight scenes that create the illusion of movement. The result is quite impressive.

Synopsis

The main character, Guts, escaped a cataclysmic event but he didn't escape unscathed; he lost an arm and an eye and he has been branded with a symbol that marks him as a demon sacrifice. Now everything dark and evil feels drawn to him and tries to kill him, which means he has to constantly fight for his life and he can't seek out the company of other humans because that would put them in danger. There are characters who ignore this and stick with him anyway, but the vid doesn't focus on them. All the death and violence surrounding Guts lead to the perception that he is the source of the evil that is plaguing the land. The woman at the beginning of the vid is an inquisitor who wants to stop him but she is blinded by her faith and can't believe in these dark forces. The vid shows the ugly reality she refuses to see.
