• Comments: My 15th Completed Video
  Programs used: Adobe Premiere 6, Photoshop, Adobe After Effects 6.5 (trial version)
  
  This video is about different anime characters who have lost someone important to them, and bring them back to life in their minds. To have this concept come across, I wanted to have different effects that contrast between the "real world", and the fantasy world that the characters imagine, in which their loved one still exists.
  
  This took me about six months to make. I actually started it in August of last year, but I took a couple of breaks inbetween to work on some of my other videos. I spent most of that time working on the effects and looking for scenes of guys with their eyes closed. ;)
  
  I downloaded a one-month trial version of After Effects so that I could do feathered masks, but I tried to use it as little as possible because Premiere is a lot less annoying to use than After Effects... So I just used it during the last month of editing.
  
  Special thanks to dwchang, Bakadeshi, and JCD for being such awesome beta testers for this video. ;)
  
  Lyrics:
  Make this moment last forever and a day
  Watching you drive by
  Not letting you drive away
  Can you see me trying to wave you down tonight
  'Cause I need to see you one more time
  
  You'll be there in my mind
  In my dreams you can hide
  And every night I'm gonna bring you back to life
  There in my mind
  An angel bathed in light
  Telling me everything's gonna be alright
  If I can just fall asleep tonight
  
  Lonely is the feeling I can't comprehend
  So I'm skipping to the last page to see how this will end
  Can you see me trying to wave you down tonight
  'Cause I need to see you one more time
  
  You'll be there in my mind
  In my dreams you can hide
  And every night I'm gonna bring you back to life
  There in my mind
  An angel bathed in light
  Telling me everything's gonna be alright
  
  Have you ever felt so helpless
  When the walls built to protect us
  Suddenly are gone
  And you hate everything that's breathing
  The life you're used to cheating
  Has finally caught on
  
  You'll be there in my mind
  In my dreams you can hide
  And every night I'm gonna bring you back to life
  There in my mind
  Standing just to my right
  Telling me everything's gonna be alright
  Yeah, everything’s gonna be alright
  Oh, I know everything’s gonna be alright
  If I can just fall asleep
