I began this video about a year ago with the concept for the climax roughly completed long before the rest of the video. Later on closer to the contest deadline I got most of it finished in a single weekend before getting some reactions to it and tightening other aspects of it up to submit to AWA for the premiere.
This was the first time I've used a bluray anime source to make an AMV, since everything else I've always used DVD sources. I couldn't figure out how to get rid of some of the apparent visual issues at some points (though it looks better in my far less uncompressed version).
I'm very curious about your reactions to several things, such as the screen cuts, and the pinwheel recap effect I implemented near the ending (which was conceived by a friend of mine, and then put together by myself). Please feel free to leave comments/criticisms/opinions and such.
