• Comments: OK. This is my first AMV, so be kind. :)
  
  I learned about anime music videos by accident while looking for something else online. I had just gotten some video editing software (Pinnacle Studio 8) and was beginning to learn how to use it for home movie stuff. I stumbled upon a funny AMV somewhere online and I thought it was a cool idea (being a long-time anime fan). I didn't find AMV.org until after I had started and spent hours on my first project.
  
  Anyway, the music choice isn't the most original and the anime is used a lot on AMV, so I don't expect huge points for originality. However, I haven't seen (so far) anyone do one quite like this. Almost all the footage came from one episode. That's right, I only had about 30 minutes of total footage to work with. I have more, but chose to focus on this one sub-plot.
  
  Some of the video/audio timings in this one are great, but the moving lips still bother me. Having such a limited scope made it practically impossible to eliminate all the lip movements throughout. I tried to cut them where I could. Also, there are some parts that I'm still not quite happy with, but if I waited until it was perfect nobody would ever see it. This video spoils one episode a little, but otherwise is not a spoiler for the series.
  
  Please, if you watch this one, leave me feedback so I know how I can improve. I want to get better and I need your feedback to do it. Thanks, and enjoy.
