• Comments: I finally found a way to provide an online link to my music video......
  
  This is my Second Music Video, after watching the whole Kenshin OVA series I was dieing to show my appreciation for the it with my own music video in tribute to their work. Originally i was going to use "Come One Down" by Bush, but just before a began to work on the project MachineHead out of the blew came on my computer and immediately the song seemed to gell so much better. Pieces of the video started to assemble in my head. Instead of forcing the video to the music. Unfortunately I wanted to finish watching the series before i bagan to work on it. So I spent the whole summer watching episode after episode, but on the same hand it gave me more then enough time to think of various ways to design the music video. After the series I was finally able to watch Seisouhen (for anyone who doesn't know it's the second set of Kenshin OVAs). I wanted to use seisouhen in my vid from the start, which was the main reason why I waited so long to make it.
  
  
  For anyone who hasn't seen Kenshin Siesouhen OVAs do not read below.

  Things I tried to do in my vid....
  
  Immediately I said to myself i didn't want the music video to be a summed up story of the whole series, this meant that i wanted to wander about the OVAs and pick out parts i thought would best suit each section of the song as opposed to following the direction kenshin's story had gone. However i still wanted to maintain the different phases of his life, childhood, young adult, and adult, the events that happened in each phase was up to me on how i wanted to order them.
  
  The next thing i agreed upon was that since Seisouhen was fairly new, i didn't wanted to leave any spoilers, so i made sure i was very careful as not too.
  
  Nevertheless i wanted to depict this video as a remesence of Kenshin's life and not of the show itself, which is why I begin and end with the same clip and fade out with kenshin as a child to remind us where it all began.
  
  My main focus was to make the video fast when the song was fast and slow when the song was slow. And you'll also notice that timing is very important to me.
  
  I chose to splice in clips of Tomoe's fiance dieing after each punch by Enishi to re-enforce the history between the past and the present.
  
  I extremely appologize for the subtitle "Tomoe" that snuck it's way into the production. I had noticed it as quickly as most of you have, the problem was I have WinXP and Adobe Premiere doesn't co-operate with it completely. This created a problem because i have a bad habit of not saving every 2 minutes, so one time the program crashed and i wasn't able to go back and change it for technical purposes. I don't need to go into details.

  Other then that all I ask is for a rating after you've watched it even if you think it's crap.
