Comments: While technically not anime, this was the first music video I ever created.

This was created in a single weekend in the spring of 1999 using Adobe Premiere 5.0. It was premiered at Botcon '99 in St. Paul, MN...but not on the big screen. I played it full-screen on my PowerBook in the hall and people would gather around. As it played, new people would wander up and I'd have to have a repeat showing. I think I was there for over an hour playing the same video over and over.

There's a ton of stuff I'd fix in this if I did it over. ...like using footage without the "WB 56" logo in the corner for starters. Also, some clips I used were choppy since I recorded them with virtual memory on and others seemed to have strange contrast. (I've learned from my mistakes.) Still, I was pleased with the way it came out and the general organization of clips (some are very appropriate for the lyrics, others are just filler.)

Maybe someday I'll re-do it with footage from DVDs and include Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise, and Armada clips too. We'll see...
