Comments: This is my fourth video, and third Love Hina video.
Let's face it, there's a ton of Love Hina videos out there, but I hadn't seen one devoted exclusively to Shinobu. I was looking for a song to do a serious Naru/Keitaro video when I listened to "In the Middle" and realized it work well for a Shinobu video.
I did the beginning and then stopped, with other videos and final exams taking priority. Then, I went back to this video, and unlike my other Love Hina videos, I used the DVD's (or at least the two my friend had bought and the Volume 3 I bought exclusively to finish the video).

I have to say I think it worked out pretty well. I used Virtual Dub and Adobe Premiere to create it. This is also the first time I used overlays, twice to cover up some mouth movements.
While some people have a severe dislike to mouth movements, I did leave them in several places because I felt they illustrated the point the scene and the song lyrics were trying to make, if that makes sense.

Finally, this video is now available for download. Enjoy.
