Thanks go out to candre23 for recommending this amazing classic AMV for the column.
Apart from the source quality, which is obviously at least a 2nd generation VHS copy, this video is abolutely amazing for 2001. I remember, I first saw this video in 2002, completely at random.
The use of layers in the video is way ahead of its time, with lots of movement and effects that no only add to the video's unique style, but also completely cover up subtitles. I have yet to see such a unique way to get rid of subtitles in any other video to this day. Mostly I just see black bars, which can detract from the quality of the video (See my first video, "Luna in Love" and you'll see what I mean...
) where as this has actually enhanced the videos enjoyability.And of course, the song is a cover of a Britney Spears song, but it's a totally rockin' version, and I actually really dig it.
