| Rather than picking a song with lyrics that fit Loki's story, I wanted to use a beautiful but epic song that helps tell the story visually. What better song to pick than Sigur Rós' "Sæglópur"? A soaring yet sad Nordic song to accompany a Norse god's journey in the Marvel universe of Thor. I also chose this song because the title means "lost at sea", which I felt described Loki's life in the movie. He caused his own ruin by going too far and getting lost in the sea of his emotions and ambitions. The lost prince of Asgard who drowned under the burden of being the son of Odin... I wanted to include all of Loki's scenes, and I tried to put in as many different clips as I could. This is only the second time I've used dialogue in a (music) fan video, but I wanted to use them because I didn't have lyrics from the song to use. I just focused on using the music to amplify the emotions of each video clip. Each clip of dialogue should help to tell Loki's story of the relationship with his family - how Thor overshadows Loki and desiring Odin's love - and the motivations behind his actions. Phew, this is the longest fan video I've ever edited, and I hope I successfully tell Loki's story in it. I did choose to portray Loki more as the misled anti-hero rather than a straight-out villain. I wonder how he'll be in The Avengers. I can't wait to see him in that! YouTube made this video a lot darker than the original file!
