• Comments: To be entranced was what I was aiming for when I started this project. The song just conveyed certain smoothness that I find very hypnotic. I certainly feel the strongest point of this video is the uniqueness it possesses. I’ve, seen more than 400 AMVs (I know some of you have seen thousands). So I have a good idea what has been done before. Prepare for something…different.
  
  Plot: There is a certain freedom when you are trying to express a mood, as opposed to a straightforward story. Nevertheless, the scheme is still easy to follow. I basically explored the relationship between Lafiel and Jinto. Thus the video possess a little bit of everything, action, romance, sentiment, and drama.
  
  There are spoilers, but judging from the number of Crest of the Stars videos. I would say if you haven’t seen it yet. Then it is not likely you will see it later. So, knowing a few plot twists won’t hurt.
  
  Effects: More than half of the video was edited in After Effects. The effects are extensive, in a way the video could be considered an effects show. Many of the effects are obvious, then there are those if you notice than I did it wrong. The effects, however, where not designed to stand-alone. I wanted then to be part of the video and not the video. Everything, just like the plot revolves around an indescribable chilled sensation, if that makes sense.
  
  Music: I really like 8mm. The group falls under the Trip-Hop category of Electronica. I know that may turn some of you off, but it is likely you have never heard of Trip-Hop before. So, why not give it a chance. You can always download a Linkin Park video later.
  
  Capture: Yes it is in WMV. Why? That is a long story. Quality wise it is easily as good as most divx/xvid encodes. WMV is not a bad codec, it just gets a bad reputation because most people who use it can’t edit (I can). This was not made in WMM.
  
  Lyrics:
  Don’t you give it up for me
  Don’t you open up your soul
  And drown in your misery
  We all know you don’t want help
  You want some company
  Don’t you give it up for me
  
  Just how long can you bleed?
  Just how long do you need?
  Just how long can you bleed?
  
  Don’t you give it up for me
  Bandage up your palms again
  No one can see the blood but you
  Won’t you get up of your knees?
  It’s time to run
  Don’t you give it up for me
  
  Chorus
  
  You can’t say
  Cuz you’re so afraid
  That all that you have
  Is all you deserve
  You’re so afraid
  All that you have
  Is all that you deserve
  
  Maybe it is…
  Baby
  It is
