  Animecon 2006, the Netherlands! That's where this was for. Most important and most argued rule: The 3 Minute rule. To keep it legal, it wasn't allowed to be longer then 3 minutes. As you might notice, I've used up the full 3 minutes, whilst I prefer doing them a bit shorter, but sadly, the song didn't really lend for that, cutting on it's own was hard enough. (I had to cut of the most wonderfull part of the song, sadly. It just didn't fit.)
  I worked about a month on this one (I work sloooow >.>) and finished it even about 2 weeks before the deadline, which is rather new for me! (I usually finish it last minute :))
  But then I forgot about it, untill I checked the con's forum, and got reminded... the deadline was the next day.
  I had it finished yes, but hadn't fully exported and encoded it in the right properties, so I had to work all day, and put it in the postbin about 10 minutes before it got emptied.
  (Gooood, I /hate/ encoding >___> how was I supposed to know that NSTC compliable 720X480 ment it has a max bitrate of 3800Kbps? D:)
  But overall I enjoyed making it, and I see it as a major imporvement of my last vid.
  Sadly, recently my comp crashed, leaving only one export that I can use. It's completely the same, and has perfect quality, but it has no intro or outro, and since I am to lazy to add those, the logo in the corner will do. (There's no difference between the preview version and the final, except that small and almost not visible overlay.)
  All done in Premiere Pro, and encoded in DivX with VirtualDubMod.
  First time using only original material. (DVDs, CDs, etc.)
  Phew, doesn't it look professional with a lot of text? :3
  
  
  
  //Results from the Con:
  2nd out of the crowd's ratings
  7th out of the jury (Which consisted of the contenders themselves)
  and 5th overall.
  That means I beat JCD, Warheart, Niotex, RellikNL, and PaulK when it comes to the crowd's rating 8) (I don't agree with the rating though, PaulK's was awesome if you ask me, and should've scored way higher. But the judging of the con is a different, and too long, and too opinion-based story ;)) and sadly in the end only overall counted :)

  Look through me because I am transparent
  Her to know me but why even know yourself
  I'm beginning to need all that I can't have
  I'm succeeding to speak like I'm fucking mad
  
  Looking at the autumn shade
  You am I and I am great
  Looking at the autumn shade, oh yeah

  Oh....
  
  I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did making it :) And bring on those opinions!
  Some extra thanks to Kiek for mental support :3
