• Comments: For some reason almost everytime I finish making an AMV for a series, Right after I end up thinking of about 3 other songs that could work eith it as well. That's exactly what happend with Air.
  
  I was listining to all my old cds I used to listen to when I was little and Michelle Branch's song was one of those. I automatically thought of Air. I started planning, and the next mourning I was making a new AMV after "Feathers of Innocence" was done compressing. I finished this AMV about three days later.
  
  The AMV is about A Mother who loses her daughter basically. If you have seen Air then you about what happens at the end.
  
  Explaining the AMV in steps of sorts:
  
  I started this AMV off with the "goal" scene to sort of paint a picture of what was to come, or to show the current situation. I kept Misuzu saying "goal" because I felt it helped a little. At that current moment in the song no lyrics had started, so I felt it needed something.
  
  The parts after that detail Haruko, and her feelings and relationship with Misuzu. I tried to show how much see loved Misuzu, the way she was and way she tried to be with her "daughter".
  
  The rest I don't want to spoil, as it should be self explanitory while watching it.
  
  Technical Information:
  
  Transitions used were extreme, I used alot of additive and cross fades.... star wipes and zoom feel to extreme to me for a video like this. There were some points were I cropped the footage ever so slightly, just to get rid of the scrolling Japanese text at the bottom that were played during its TV broadcast. I did Use RAW footage, so the rest of the video was left alone.
  
  For the scenes about 2:43 to 2:39 into the AMV, I added a white layer over the footage that I made in Adobe Photoshop 7.0. I took still pictures and added white around the image I wanted visible.
  
  For the scenes were Haruko is leaning back against a wall 2:26 in, I added a sort sunshine ray to block out a logo.
  
  And last but not least, I tried to match everything up with the lyrics, like most AMV makers out there. I think I did okay.
  
  Lyrics to "Goodyre to You" By Michelle Branch
  
  Of all the things I've believed in
  I just want to get it over with
  Tears form behind my eyes
  But I do not cry
  Counting the days that pass me by
  
  I've been searching deep down in my soul
  Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
  It feels like I'm starting all over again
  The last three years were just pretend
  And I said,
  
  [Chorus:]
  Goodbye to you
  Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
  You were the one I loved
  The one thing that I tried to hold on to
  The one thing that I tried to hold on to
  
  I still get lost in your eyes
  And it seems that I can't live a day without you
  Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
  To a place where I am blinded by the light
  But it's not right
  
  [Chorus]
  
  And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
  I want what's yours and I want what's mine
  I want you
  But I'm not giving in this time
  
  [Chorus x2]
  
  And when the stars fall
  I will lie awake
  You're my shooting star
