• Comments: Wow! Another new music video! This one features several different anime movies and anime series. I was inspired to make this video after I got back from Yunnan, China. While I was there, I went to see the performance, "Impression: Lijiang." Because the music left a deep impression on me, I decided to create an anime music video that uses one of the songs performed during the performance. That song is "My Ancestor is The Naxi" (The Naxi are a minority group in Yunnan). So, as a souvenir, I bought the "Impression: Lijiang" CD and used the song from the CD to make my video.
  
  I spent more than a week working on this video trying to match the music with the clips. However, it was extremely difficult because the music used ancient Chinese instruments with lots of drum beats. But I was determined to make this video work despite it being so difficult. After lots of trimming, editing and re-editing, reorganizing, splitting, etc. I finally managed to finish it. As I looked at the result, I took a deep breath of relief, I somehow managed to finally make the video work even though it wasn't as close as I had hoped. Anyways, enjoy and provide any feedback or suggestions you may have. ^_^
