CITY OF HEROES - Safe Within You (A Bella/Zach Tribute)

- #58 - This one was a very special commission. Imagine my surprise when I got asked to do a tribute video... for Mercedes Lackey, and her characters Belladonna Aura and Zach Marlowe.
We chatted extensively about what she wanted, hammered out a script based on the storyline she'd given me, and then she cut me loose. "Make me cry," she said. Well, I think she did.
The end of Bella and Zach's story was forced upon Mercedes by the closure of CITY OF HEROES, a game near and dear to both our hearts. For two creative spirits, this was a heartbreaking event for us both. Still, out of sorrow comes something of meaning. I am privileged and grateful that I was able to make this for her, thus preserving a story that might otherwise have been lost.
The music, as chosen by Mercedes, is VNV Nation's "Illusion."
Like my other videos, this one is tagged as Samuraiko Productions, for those who follow my work. Enjoy!

Im crying im smiling and its a shame we will never get stories like these again....i want our 2. home back
Samuraiko has given me the best gift...I didn't know anything about demorecording back in the day, and all I had were a few lousy screenshots of Zach when his player had to leave the game to tend to his young family. Thanks to her magic, now I have a capsule of some of those amazing moments Bella and Zach shared. I can never thank her enough for that, or for this wonderful video.
Every time I see one of these videos, I start crying again. So many stories forcibly ended... so many that never get to be told...
There's a part of me that gets so tired of crying, but that's what some good memories are for. Thanks, Mercedes and Samuriko for another good cry.
I'm glad I saw this but it made my eyes leak again.
Excellent yet again.
now where did I put those tissues
Thank you. I was afraid that there would be no more of your videos... I hope you have some footage you can still use for a few more. You're the best!
Oh, and I cried, too. ;)
Beautifully done...and with my favorite band in the world providing the soundtrack. Exquisite...
I'm so sad to see every one and everything go. I'll miss these videos too. This was beautiful.
I do follow your work and watched (probably Liked) all your youtube vids. I remember first surfing into your Avatar - CoH Style first. Love all your vids. Thank you for this.
Definitely brought the tears back. You never know what something means to you till it's gone. : (
This video is awesome and makes me sad
That was wonderful. Simply wonderful.
That was just beautiful. Dammit, it's dusty in here.
This would be very interesting/cool to see which 'celebs' played the game. It's cool that you got to do a tribute for Lackey. Always awesome work Samuraiko, as always. Keep flying.
Cool video. I miss this game already.
It's not over yet, people! No giving up!
Beautiful as ever, Samuraiko. Wish I could have gotten you to do one of my girl and the sweetheart she finally got to marry in October before the close. God speed, CoXers.
VNV Nation was an excellen choice.
Damn sand...
I'm smiling though.
You always do good work.
Wow!
very well done Samuraiko, so any thoughts on what is next? How about doing real book video's? err Video's for real books?
Wow...
You know how to make people cry Girl *2 thumbs up nice vid*
Goodbye, old friends. See you in other worlds!
Fantastic and sad all at once. I hope they find a new place to be happy... Far from ncsoft's control.

It's all in the video description. :)
u playing any other games Samuraiko?
Yes, I currently play Rift and occasionally LotRO.
I kinda also see this as representing city of heroes itself. sad :(
Well all of your Coh videos are now a tribute, COH is gone forever like Tabula Rasa.
