• Comments: This was my first try at using Video Game footage in an AMV, and I think I did pretty well. All the FF7/8/X vids I captured myself, and the Kingdom Hearts ones I was forced to download as no way of extracting the files could be found, so please excuse any less-than-perfect quality.
  
  Software used in the creation of this video: PsxMC, TMPGenc, Virtual Dub, AMVapp, Adobe Premiere, and the FFX .rar extraction program.
  
  Notes on song choice: It took me a long time to find a song that really fit all the games I wanted to incorporate into this video, but when I heard "Key of the Twilight" for the first time I realized how well it fit both Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. The lyrics are as follows...
  
  Key of the Twilight
  
  Come with me in the twilight of a summer night for a while
  tell me of a story never ever told in the past
  Take me back to the land
  where my yearnings where born
  the key to open the door is in your hand
  now fly me there
  
  Fanatics find their heaven in never-ending storming wind
  auguries of destruction be a lullaby for rebirth
  Consolations, be there
  in my dreamland to come
  the key to open the door is in your hand
  now take me there
  
  I believe in fantasies invisible to me
  in the land of misery i'm searchin' for the sign
  to the door of mystery and dignity
  i'm wandering down the secret sun
  
  come with me in the twilight of a summer night for a while
  tell me of a story never ever told in the past
  take me back to the land
  where my yearnings were born
  the key to open the door is in your hand
  now take me there
  to the land of twilight
  
  Other notes: I've never had as much trouble with an AMV as I have with this one. It just seemed to create problem after problem, and took me weeks to iron out. Once I finally fixed all the avs script problems, re-ripped all the FF7 and 8 FMVs, and had to re-encode several of the Kingdom Hearts vids, the video in its entirety was completed in 7 hours. (One sleepless night, to be exact.)
  
  This video was shown at the AnimeBoston 2004 AMV 101 panel as an example of my work. I guess you could say that's where it premiered. ^^
  
  I hope you enjoy this video, please leave me an opinion telling me what you think. ^_^
