Notes: This vid was as much a gift fromabsolutedestiny as it was a gift for him. I'd long wanted to do a vid for Jigoku set to this song and I even had some of it laid down in Final Cut, but I knew it would be very difficult and I wasn't sure there would be an audience for it, so I put it aside. Then absolutedestiny posted his Dear Festividder letter. At that point, I was damn near convinced that I was going to get assigned him, given that I'd offered so many of the fandoms he requested, so I started in on the Jigoku vid again.
I ended up getting assigned someone else (as you do), but I still did the Jigoku vid as a treat because it might be the only time I ever had to make it and because I was so damned delighted that there was someone else out there who even knew the film existed. The vid... well, it morphed into a different vid than I had originally set out to make. Partially because I was trying to match some of the request, but also because I was a different vidder than I was back when I started contemplating this vid. Honestly, I think it's better for it.
I first ran into Jigoku in 2007 when I bought it on DVD on a whim, completely unaware of what it was. I watched it and my mind was blown. Sure, it was the first film with concentrated amounts of gore in it, but that was beside the point. It was also a fascinating, trippy descent into Hell with more layers than parfait. It took me a year to properly review it on Classic-Horror.com and that review remains my longest to date.
I kind of love trippy films about damnation. Just get me going on Mario Bava's Lisa and the Devil sometime.
Is there a point to this? Yes. You really need to go see Jigoku. It's on DVD from the Criterion Collection and it's awesome, if not for the squeamish.
Also, thanks to my betas,echan , ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
diannelamerc , and lizbetann for encouragement and notes. And thanks so, so much to absolutedestiny, without whom this vid would never have been completed.
