  I wanted to do a video with a singer on screen for the entire run of the vid, singing and moving around. I had done several comedies and thought to try a romance again, so I thought about Mahoromatic. A lot of that anime was a romance, especially towards then end.
  
  I started looking through it for good scenes, and kept finding these wonderful mad reaction shots of Mahoro, so I thought maybe to make them arguing or something.
  
  Then, one night I stumbled across a rerun of "Married with Children" and that idea solidified, and I realized it would be a comedy.
  
  So now I needed a song with man & woman arguing...... Sean Morey's "Lovers Duet" jumped right up, screaming and waving it's arms.
  
  The background TV screen went reasonably well, but the foreground singers - they were a true bear! SO MUCH masking, a ton of photoshop work, color balancing to keep their hair, clothing, skin tones and whatnot all looking consistent enough.
  
  I only regret that I have no idea who the female singer is. All attempts failed including emailing Sean Morey via his website. Then again, for all I know it is Sean Morey himself doing a female voice!
  
  Everyone I have shown it to laughs - and even at the correct places!
  
  Enjoy.
