• Comments: well, this is the first good-looking vid I produced. The first two (Bebop Fury and AATDFTWW) were ok but no one likes LP-AMVs and the other one was just... weird. So hopefully, this is more successful.
  
  Ok, this AMV took me two days to do. Even still, those were the two longest days of my life. School wasn't even that long. But since the footage was previously captured into a suitable format it saved me a LOT of time. After finishing it in Premiere, my cousins actually came by and I had them look at it (along with my mom, brother, and sister). Of course, they all liked it. w00t! Now, all I had to do was compress.
  
  Sadly, today, when I was compressing, I asked some people on what I should use to compress it with. I got two smart answers (thanks Pwolf for mentioning XviD, so simple yet i wouldn't have thought of it) but the rest were slow. So, went wth XviD. It took me a while because somehow everytime i finished compressing only the audio would play but the video was black. It took me an hour to realize that "Wtf? I'm using DivX not XviD. That's why!" Well, did compressing, and got it to a good 69.4MB, which is fairly okay.
  
  Now for the video stuff.
  
  Well, the video is completely from the anime Spiral-Suiri No Kizuna (but you knew that already because it says it in the green text). I chose the song "Ordinary People" by John Legend as a request, from my brother, who had that song in his head all day. So, I tried to find a central aspect of it and used Eyes on the piano. It was kind of a stupid trick, seeing how if I couldn't find any good thing to add to a part, I'd just add a part with the piano in it.
  
  THe lip synch isn't really seen much in here. Actually, it only is seen 2 or 3 times (all done by Rio, the little girl). Its something I want to work on later so I put it as a tech-detail. Well, I think that's all I got to say about this.
  
  Enjoy ^ ^;
