• Comments: -My first video using DVD footage. This was also my first try at Lip Sync. I had decided to use Windows movieMaker instead of Adobe Premeire, for editing , mainly because Windows MovieMaker was easier to use and that I wasn't planning on using any real speacial effects for the video; I used Adobe Premeire for creating the clips. The only real problem I had was that around the 1:36 time mark i had run out of good fight scenes to use, but other than that there weren't any other serious problems.
  **Spoilers**
  This vid is all about Soujiro, the Tenken. He is one of my favorite characters in the Rurouni Kenshin series. His swordsmanship main techinique is the Shukuchi which is shown alot throughout the video. The Shukuchi is a style that is faster than any other style in the series. Throughout Soujiro's life he had only one philisophy of "the strong must live and the weak must die" he learned all of this from his master Shi Shi O. Soujiro never understood why the weak people live. When Soujiro was a child he was abused by his family, or his supposed family as his real parents weren't around. They would beat him and when he would cry or get angry they would beat him even more, but if he smiled they would leave him alone after a while. In the end soujiro killed them all as they were just about to kill him. Soujiro killed them with a single short sword that Shi Shi O gave him. In result Soujiro is one of the strongest swordman out there; with his Shukuchi and he has no emotions which makes it impoosible ofr other people to read his moves.
  - This is where my video starts; I picked this song to present it as though Soujiro is the one saying it. that is one of the main resons I used lip sync. when Soujiro fought Kenshin, he learned what he believed in may not be all true. And throughout the video Soujiro became confused on who was right Himself or Kenshin, who says that the weak people should be able to live.

  Here's the Lyrics for the song "Crawling In The Dark" by Hoobastank
  
  I will dedicate
  And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth
  Of how my story's ending
  And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
  And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing
  Show me what it's for
  Make me understand it
  I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
  Is there something more than what i've been handed?
  I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
  Help me carry on
  Assure me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes
  To navigate the darkness
  Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
  Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?
  Show me what it's for
  Make me understand it
  I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
  Is there something more than what i've been handed?
  I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
  So when and how will I know?
  How much further do I have to go?
  How much longer until I finally know?
  Because I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
  In front of me
  Show me what it's for
  Make me understand it
  I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
  Is there something more than what i've been handed?
  I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
