CAROLS cutted scene...
 

If you saw the making-off and noticed there was a scene where ayu was on a swing... well, what do you think of it?? I was speechless when i saw it... :thud i think it's a beautiful scene, but it was cutted off from the final ver. of the video because of the bad weather... i'd love a new version of the pv... i mean, i like it very much, but i'm pretty sure that those who think it's a boring pv would love it if the pv contained that scene... :yes

I don't have any screenshots of that scene... sorry... :(

Yeah, I remember looking at that footage, and I loved it a lot! I mean, I really liked the Carols video the way it was, but the swing scene was really beautiful too.

it wasnt cut off because of the rain..cuz that really doesnt have anythign to do with it....i guess it didnt fit with the rest of the video..

i also think that the swinging scene is beautiful and should be placed inside the PV

=/ I think her costume was really nice and the leaves blowing down would have made a great effect. Maybe it didn't turn out as the director wanted and therefore cut it out. But it would have made a beautiful scene. = =

Ayu's hair kept flying in her face in that scene.

it messed up her hair

I thouht it was a waste to not have put that scene in =/

I don't know why they cut it out. It was so beautiful...:(

totally agreed !

yeah it was a waste

well... i just want that scene is the only pvs... just like when ayu stands in the dearest acoustic pv... she should do some acoustic pv with carols n the theme is the cut off scene... if we force to the main pv i think it isnt connected... while most of carols setting is in the night n that scene is like in the evening ^^

Pity it wasn't included, I thought it was beautiful too...

I thought it was really pretty but I think they had to cut it out because of the bad weather. Something to note is that the shadow of the camera tower also appears when it is going around Ayu! But I thought it was really pretty and they should have included in (in colour!) but yar, it was kind of wasted.

I wish the would have filmed the whole PV on the swing or part of it with the swing and the rest outside at other places.The wind blowing Ayu's hair in her face would have had a nice touch.

ayu's hair wsa so messy that they had to cut it out :D

aw...why did they cut it ><" it was so pretty!

It wasn't that noticable her hair was in her face...oh well..

Yeah I liked the swing scene bit as well, pity they cut it.

I think if you look closer, you'll see a shadow towards the right which is casted by the camera arm they used to roate the camera around.

i do like the swing scene.. maybe they didnt use it because.. i donno it was bad weather and that they didnt capture ayu that good.
but it would've been good if they added it there..

I liked that scene. :grumpy

There was a thread about this topic already.

^ You're right... and not only one... there are like 3 or 4 threads about this already!! O_O;;

Sorry about that... :(

again? anyway, itwould a bit over broad for me, even though the scene itself looked nice, and it might not flow toghter at all.

Besides it makes "the making of..." video more interesting.

all those threads, and this is the first i saw about it? 0_o;;

but yeah, i liked that scene, how the leaves were blowing and all, but it probably doesn't fit with the pv that well. all that spinning around her kinda made me dizzy too, haha!

blah I stopped reading...okay I think they should make an acoustic version like they did to dearest but this time have her singing in the swing the whole time instead of standing...Must be aching eh?

Ayumi Hamasaki
CAROLS ~ Acoustic Version

I guess you could say that the Hammond b-3 mix kinda was an acoustic version. It would have been really cool if they used it somehow with the swing footage, especially if they slowed the film down somewhat to match the mood of the song!

that scene was really nice honestly
it was a shame to cut it

Anyone have pictures of the swing scene?

CAROLS was so painfully dull it would have been better to have included that scene just to add a bit of variety to the damn video...

But at least it did included in the making-offs..... we still be able to catch a glimpse out of it..... It's not just windy, but poor ayu has to endure the chill too!

i think it's a waste not to put that scene, it's so beautiful, and what's wrong with ayu's hair being messed up? i think it's natural, and the camera-effects in the scene is so great, i mean, it's a very good scene, too bad it wasn't included, but THANK GOD it was inserted in the Making of CAROLS scene...

I want pictures/video. Can anyone take screenshots or upload this for those who didn't see?

i like it a lot too!

too bad they didn't include it

i actually find it very amazing that they build that big swing and rolling axis camera...i never knew u can film like that before

That might be the reason why they cut it. It's like oh we found gold! Look at this great material for "making of,,," footage. It gave you something out of the ordinary for a change, didn't it?

they removed maybe they think it'll make ppl go dizzy @_@
but i love that scene ...the contrast between black(stage) and white(swing)
it was a great idea

Love Appears I can upload it for you

Did anybody noticed that when the camera was almost upside-down, we can see one person on the right side of the screen (somebody's legs) :] Hehe

It's an okay scene, it's pretty but I like the video just fine without it. But if they did do a CAROLS accustic (sp) they should do it all on a swing.

i no wht ur talkin about when i got the cd and dvd i saw the making... i wondered about that too...

i no me 2... so i guess thats y the swing was in the cover of CAROLs single
