  Quick Description: An interesting ride through Rayearth dvd 5.
  Bouncy Lively AMV
  
  
  Story behind the video:
  
  I was recently given the Rayearth 5 dvd...
  by accident. My friend returned a couple of my dvds and this
  one was in the bag. (someone out there is missing a rayearth 5 now!)
  
  So ... being the insane individual that I am... I thought... hmm I
  should make an amv from an anime I have never seen, and wouldn't
  have any clue what the story is or what any of the spoilers are. So I
  ripped the dvd and cut a pile of clips and decided to go with the
  Boogie Nights cd to supply the audio. I must admit I was impressed
  with the amount of very interesting/eye catching footage. These four
  episodes were loaded with good clips. Although... I dunno if they are
  spoilers... haha I kind of assume they are as I saw there were a few
  surprises as I slid through the footage. I still have not watched the
  DVD... who needs dialogue? :P Though since I looked up the disc ... it
  is the final one of the season... so uhm... it is fairly likely that
  this video has some spoilers.
  
  
  Video content notes:
  -------------------
  1 - This video is dedicated to my love of the Rayearth series...
  whatever it's about... hehe.
  
  2 - There is a section later in the video that has much slower editing
  etc... this of course was intentional as the pace of the song allowed
  me to use some of the slower clips that are wonderfully animated.
  
  3 - I opted to end the video without syncing the final set of drums...
  it just didn't seem to fit well with the slow down I was going for. I
  think it works out fine.
  
  4 - I think when it comes down to it... this video is meant to be pure
  fun. I had a blast making it and coming up with weird things... the
  strange thing is that although it's flashy and bouncy... it does kind
  of follow a story... even in the end of the video... :P Most of the
  big spoilers are missing (or so I think) but I think it's still kind
  of obvious... "gee what's gonna happen next??"
  
  5 - The intro was quickly put together... using a song that isn't on
  the boogie nights soundtrack... Boogie Nights by Heatwave.
  
  6 - Sorry there is no actual dancing in the video... :P Just the little puffball
  jumping on occasion. =)
  
  Technical notes:
  ---------------
  1 - Fun with motion!
  
  2 - Fun with bouncing bunny thing on a green background! Thanks to
  premiere's RGB difference... since green screen doesn't do so well.
  
  3 - Fun with invert... and strobing etc etc.
  
  4 - There was probably something new that I learned while making this
  video...
  
  5 - So here's the update for #4... I MUST remember to deinterlace the footage
  before using motion within premiere... otherwise there is no chance that a
  deinterlace process will work correctly... always learning something new! :P
  
  6 - I went with a slightly lower vbr rate with this video... I am trying to cut back
  on the huge video sizes haha... I may experiment with a xvid/divx encode... if
  it doesn't destroy my counter like it has in the past...
  
  7 - I found the quality of the DVD to be kind of lacking... but it is an older anime,
  so it's no huge shock.
  
  ... if I think of anything else I will add it ...
  
  Enjoy the Video! =)
