  Notice on Playability: The local version is an H264 encoded file at a larger resolution than the external linked version, wich is Xvid. The H.264 one is much cleaner and sharper at a similar filesize, I recommend you get this version if your PC can play it. The Xvid one is there only for those who cannot play H.264. To optain the codecs nessesary for H.264 (a faster CPU is needed for H.264 vs. Xvid), get the CCCP codec pack , or the VLC player .
  
  
  For those interested, the official release poster for the video can be viewed here.
  
  Comments:
  In a nutshell, This is a fast paced High energy Romance-comedy video about Kyon and Haruhi, done in the style of a typical MTV music video, incorporating footage from Episode 12 of Haruhi for the live performance parts of the video. It switches between live and story parts throughout the video.
  
  The idea for this video came to me when listining to the song on my mp3 player at work, when it just clicked that this would go well with Haruhi. I noticed the song had a similar tempo to Haruna's "God Knows", performed by Haruhi in episode 12. I had always wanted to take advantage of the awesome footage available in episode 12 to make a "Live" AMV with, and so I decided to go with it for this one.
  
  The hardest part of editing this video was probably doing the lipsynch during the live sections without interupting the fluid movement of the characters. Kyoto Animation's godlike animation skills actually made it quite dificult to lipsynch, but on the flip side, the scenes look dynamic and awesome ;p I ended up with a sortof compromise, you can see some areas thats a bit jirky, one of the reasons I decided to go with the shacky cam effect for the live sections, to hide this side effect some. I also timed the shackyness to the actuall movement of the characters (usually Haruhi) so its more like the camera is following her movement. Timming all the instruments to the sounds in the song was also time consuming, but worth it.
  
  I didn't go too crazy with the effects in this one, but there are some, mostly just noise, cut and fades, black and white, brightness/contrast manipulation, and a few carefully placed lensflares. There are also 3 places that have masks that arn't hard to notice ;p
  The scene at the end was made with 2 different shots to make it look like haruhi is outside Kyons room at the end of the video blushing. I took out alot of lipflap with photoshop, and a few freeze frames, but I left alot in because removing them took away from the energy of the video. Any you see still in there are in there because I wanted it to be. Ofcourse theres also the TV effect used for the "Live" sections of the video, which is custom made in photoshop and animated in premiere.
  
  
  Now that you have a slight behind the scenes of the video, I hope you enjoy actually watching it ^_^.
  Please do let me know your thoughts on the video, good or bad, by quick comment or opinion. Comments are always welcome and apreciated.
  
  Notice on Playability....Again.....for those "let me ask bakadeshi why I can't play the local file, even though the instructions are right here, but I don't feel like reading video comments" guys: The local version is an H264 encoded file at a larger resolution than the external linked version, wich is Xvid. The H.264 one is much cleaner and sharper at a similar filesize, I recommend you get this version if your PC can play it. The Xvid one is there only for those who cannot play H.264.
