  Video Idea:
  There's not much to say about how the idea for this video came about. I saw the trailer for "Art School Confidential" on TV at some point last year. At the time, I was watching "Honey and Clover," so that anime was on my mind. Putting the anime to the trailer seemed like a perfect match. What sold me on making it was casting Hagu as "the beautiful beatnik art chick." It just was too good to be true!
  
  Execution:
  After months of not really doing not much at all in terms of video editing, I finally decided to sit down and start researching scenes for the trailer. I waited until I had a new computer at my disposal before tackling the editing. I spent a few hours over the course of 1 month working on the video. The video was made using Adobe Premiere 6.5, Adobe After Effects 6.5, and Photoshop CS (mostly for covering up lip-flaps, the title, etc.)
  
  The Cast:
  The cast is admittedly pretty random with the exception of about 4 characters:
  
  - Shuuji = The Teacher
  - Takemoto = The Virgin
  - Ayu = The Nympho Slut
  - Hagu = Beatnik Art Chick
  ("Peter Lucas" = The Director of "Bad Santa" :P)
  
  Characters such as Morita and Mayama are kinda used randomly to fill in the various roles of other students that fill in the rest of the trailer. It was a lot of fun matching the characters to the main cast, though!
  
  Final Thoughts:
  I really wanted to get my jollies out and edit a new video. Making this trailer was a nice way to make something new, play with my new computer, and just have fun. I hope you enjoy this silly little video!
