• Comments: An avid AMV consumer of several years, this is my first foray into the fine art of creating these delectible demonstrations of our dementias. Heartfelt thanks to the wonderful people who wrote the How-To Guides behind that little blue button over there in the sidebar. Many thanks also go out to the creators of the many awesome AMVs that inspired in me a sense of what "a good AMV" means.
  
  All right, enough slush. I made this AMV with Windows Movie Maker, because I am unemployed and spend all of my money on anime, not software. I'm sure we're all aware of how limited WMM is, so I won't waste time ranting. I only needed a handful of effects anyway. Maburaho amuses me, and it was handy late one evening when I was struck with a cocktail of inspiration, initiative, and insomnia. Add a generous helping of my twisted sense of humor and a week listening to Korn, and Wicked Women was born.
  
  My only significant hurdle during production came when I was done. Near as I can figure, trying to compile the sheer number of clips in the video completely swamped my processor (1.73GHz AMD Athalon, 1GB RAM) and put my system into a state of comatose shock that one would normally associate with watching all 28 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion in one sitting, immediately followed by Perfect Blue. I compensated by compiling the video footage into three sections and then stitching them all together. If anyone out there knows a less cumbersome solution, I would love to hear it.
  
  As its creator, I notice all of the dastardly details where the AMV didn't turn out exactly the way I wished. I will not mention them, and simply wait to see if I'm just obsessing overmuch.
  
  On with the show.
