Video Name: Words From a Distant Star
Anime: Voices of a Distant Star
Music: 1000 Words by Jade

Notes:

With the help of my wife (Sinaj) who just recently finished her first Video I decided to give it a try. This was my first video and she helped me with some of the timing of things but the idea, clips and placement of things was me. It was a unique challenge since I used the music from Final Fantasy X-2 by Jade "1000 Words". The version I was using has battle sounds in audio because it was ripped from a PS2. I know there are ways to edit that out but I haven't learned that part yet so decided to work with what I had. I tried to match what would of been sounds in the Anime to correspond with the sounds in the audio and hopefully did a decent job for a first run.

Let me know what you think and where I can improve upon please. Thank you.

My wife Sinaj helped me check my timing, she is better with music than I am. I have no musical talent and she is the Guitarist so that gives her a little edge I guess. At least thats what I tell myself, hehehe. I have to admit though she made it a bit easier since I watched her do her first one.

I wasn't sure what I was going to make so was just going through listening to music and trying to figure out which songs would fit what animes. I had some ideas but didn't want to do something that was done too much and when I listened to 1000 Words the anime Voices of a Distant Star seem to seem like it would fit perfectly. After looking at the lyrics for the songs I decided to try to tackle it. After going through it a lot more and from some comments I've learned there are a couple places where I could of trimmed the frames better. After doing a couple others and learning a bit more I'll probably go back over this one and redo it even better.

Thank you for the kind words, now I have to make an even better next one. ^_^
