• Comments: This video uses a song by Staind that as far as I can tell has never been used for an AMV on this site before. The theme it portrays is Squall's internal struggle with his emotional self-sufficiency, contrasting his relationships with Seifer and Rinoa. It particularly portrays the change in his attitude toward Rinoa--how he first views her as an annoyance and later comes to fall in love with her. The clips fit the song excellently, and I worked hard to perfect the synch with the music.
  
  Though only my third AMV, this is actually my 10th music video, and the second I've made using Sony Vegas. For this video, my new software enabled me to finally make the kind of video I've wanted to make for a while, complete with numerous effects such as overlays and strobe effects. The result was more than I could have hoped for.
  
  Any opinions would be highly welcome, as I hope to submit this to several contests. The lyrics to the song are below:

  Staind - "Cross to Bear"
  
  
  Twisting
  Turning
  Crashing
  Burning
  All this
  Just to
  Break me
  Down
  
  You dont know me
  You dont see me
  You dont own me cause I don't care
  But I'm still here
  Patiently waiting for you to disappear
  Is this my cross to bear
  
  Faceless
  Faking
  Pushing
  Taking
  All this
  Just to
  Bring me
  Down
  
  You dont know me
  You dont see me
  You dont own me cause I don't care
  But I'm still here
  Patiently waiting for you to disappear
  Is this my cross to bear
  
  You don't know me
  You don't own me 'cause I'm aware
  And I'm still here
  Patiently waiting for you to disappear
  Is this my cross to bear
  I'm still here
  Reluctantly waiting for you to interfere
  This is my cross to bear
