• Comments: -=ATTENTION: I am in the process of changing the amv file. The current AMV has the Divx logo which I forgot to remove. Please ignore it for the time being.=-
  
  This is my third and best AMV. I must have spent 18-20 hours creating this one. This is also the first video I've done where I matched up a scene to every line in the song, so keep that in mind.
  
  I created it in WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER 2.0
  
  The whole video is about Hyuuga Neji. It maps out his big fight in the Naruto anime vs the Spider henchman. It explores Neji's past as well as present.
  
  Here are the lyrics for the song "Away" by Breaking Benjamin
  
  Cold am I
  I'm beside myself
  Because there's no one else
  Have I grown
  So blind
  Only god could save you
  If you knew your way to the light
  So fly away
  And leave it behind
  Just stay awake
  There's nowhere to hide
  
  I see you
  Cause you won't get out of my way
  I hear you
  Cause you won't quit screaming my name
  I feel you
  Cause you won't stop touching my skin
  I need you
  There coming to take you away
  
  Frail and dry
  I could lose it all
  But I cannot recall
  It all wrong
  Don't cry
  Clear away this hate
  And we can start to make it alright
  So fly away
  And leave it behind
  Return someday
  With red in your eyes
  
  I see you
  Cause you won't get out of my way
  I hear you
  Cause you won't quit screaming my name
  I feel you
  Cause you won't stop touching my skin
  I need you
  There coming to take you away
  
  I see you
  Cause you won't get out of my way
  I hear you
  Cause you won't quit screaming my name
  I feel you
  Cause you won't stop touching my skin
  I need you
  There coming to take you away
  
  Like I said each line is matched with a scene in the AMV. Here are my creation notes for each line:
  
  Cold am I: Neji looks away as if he is being cold to someone or arrogant. It also shows him hitting Rock Lee and Naruto.
  
  I'm beside myself: Shows Neji looking "beside himself" (you know the saying "I'm beside myself!"?)
  
  Because there's no one else: Shows Neji and Hinata standing together. Even though they are family, Hinata is looking away. She is scared of Neji, therefore "there is no one else" for Neji.
  
  Have I grown?: Shows Neji looking up as if asking a question and growing at the same time.
  
  So blind (so blind...): Neji being covered by a giant spider. He becomes blind when it is on top of him.
  
  Only God could save you: I know referring to Naruto as god is a little much, but he does "save" Neji from the darkness, as Neji puts it in the episode, so I though Naruto was the perfect choice of a person that saved Neji.
  
  If you knew your way to the light: Shows Neji looking upwards at the light on his back with Naruto standing over him.
  
  So fly away: Shows bird flying away.
  
  And leave it behind: Shows bird leaving Neji's old self behind.
  
  Just stay awake: Shows Neji closing his eyes.
  
  There's no where to hide: Shows Neji looking all bad ass as if he's saying to the evil spider guy, "There's no where to hide"
  
  I see you: Neji going into Byakugan which enables him to see everything.
  
  Cause you won't get out of my way: Neji getting the webs "out of his way"
  
  I hear you: Neji lowering into his attack stance as if he is listening.
  
  Cause you won't quite screaming my name: Screen pans out as Neji readies his attack. I know this doesn't match the lyrics, but it was kind of hard to keep the video linear and find a scene that would match that line. So I made the clip sync with the audio.
  
  I feel you: Neji "feeling" the enemy with his attack o_0
  
  Cause you won't stop touching my skin: Neji finishing his attack. "Not stopping"
  
  I need you: Neji looking alarmed, "needing" someone.
  
  They're coming to take you away: Enemy dissapears as if he was "taken away"
  
  Frail and dry: Neji looking all beat down.
  
  I could lose it all: Neji "losing it all" as he is attacked and defeated by Naruto in their previous fight.
  
  But I cannot recall: Neji looking up at the sky questioningly like he couldn't recall something.
  
  It's all wrong: Neji thinking about the instance when his father's seal of hatred was activated and thinking that it was "all wrong" for that to have happened.
  
  Don't cry: Neji little standing over dead father, crying.
  
  Clear away this hate: Shows Neji and his uncle (who's in the head family and who he hates) looking at eachother in a hateful way.
  
  And we can start to make it all right: Shows Neji's uncle explaining the death of his father and how it wasn't to protect the head family, like Neji originally thought. Neji's uncle is trying to make it all right between them.
  
  So fly away: Another bird flying away.
  
  And leave it behind: Bird leaving it's feather behind.
  
  Return someday: Neji standing up "returning" to the fight.
  
  With red in your eyes: Shows Neji with an angry look in his eyes.
  
  X2 Chorus. All the lines have very similar video clips to the first chorus, so I'm sure you can guess what the clips I chose meant.
  
  OK, that was my explanation. I hope you enjoyed it = )
