  Well, I've been wanting to edit to this song for a while and now I've finally been given an excuse to do so. Also, I thought I would try out some new techniques for use in future videos.
  The main techniques I thought I'd try out was the Pan/Crop motions and the Digital Media visual effects. The Pan/Crop is pretty self explanatory, but the DM effects were only a theory until they actually worked.
  To create the effect, I just use the Media Generator in Vegas to create a loading bar type texture and then used the effect, Deform, to compress it. Then I used the Vegas Preview Device to capture a snapshot, and then voila; Stick it in the track, add cookie cutter + keyframes and you have what you see in the video.
  Oh, and for this video, I tried out compositing for the first time.
  
  STORY (actually has one, how rare of me):
  The story is essentially the fact that Renji and Kei have been dating and during a "cooling-off" period post break-up, Renji is reading a file left by Kei, detailing her frustration with Renji's insensitivity and mishaps. From that point, he attempts to persuade her otherwise, and that showcases throughout the video has a bunch of failed attempts, finally ending with a nostalgic vision of their past feelings, only to suddenly come back to a point before Renji was in shambles and when Kei was...playing basketball.
  
  P.S. The naming of the video was just an attempt at a witty play on words involving the common affidavit of letters: P.S., meaning post-script. This entails something added on to the end of the main event. For this video, the main event was the break-up of Kei's and Renji's budding relationship. The following events and Kei's sentiments on the reason of the event happening Post break-up in a culmination of texts she left in a file. Clever, no?
