• Comments: AMV #2 for me (#1 is on another profile if for some reason you're interested). Less focus on effects, more on lyrical sync. It's not the most original out there but at least this particular song has been only used one (1) other time while the anime looks like it has only thirteen (13). That should count for something right?
  
  Right. There's a little bit of lip sync and a few digital effects here and there; neither were the focus however. This is a Movie Maker (evil) video, there's nothing too great here. But at the same time I've seen far worse. So. What else. Lyrics, right.
  
  and death lay in my arms as colors fade
  from gold to gray
  
  gray now broken my foolishness displayed
  hands tight around her throat this violent loving embrace
  
  lying restful safe in my arms
  steady rhythm trust she'll come to no harm
  feel her tremble as the nightmare begins
  sleep the horror as the nightmare it ends
  
  I hear her whisper a sweet sound fanning the flames
  these thoughts consume me and leave me wallowing
  
  gray now broken my foolishness displayed
  hands tight around her throat this violent loving embrace
  my fingers tremble her lips move silently
  one last i love you crush my resolve again
  
  Good? Good. Did I mention that this is a Movie Maker (evil) video? That should equal bonus points for effort right there. Honestly it's as if the thing has an AI doing its utmost to piss you off. I'd go into more detail but it'd probably sound like one long and boring sob story. Just know that these problems more than doubled the time it took to make this AMV. Speaking of which, I believe I spent 3 or 4 weeks on it. But don't let that unimpressive amount of time discourage you. Or, let it. It's not like anyone reads these comments anyway.
  
  Programs used:
  
  Windows Movie Maker 5.1 (edited video, delayed completion to no end, ect.)
  Adobe Photoshop CS2 (designed title image, edited certain frames to rid some scenes of needless mouth movement)
  Abode Imageready CS2 (animated the above thanks to movie maker's failure to be able to)
  Adobe Illustrator CS2 (designed title image text; nothing more)
  STOIK Video Converter 2.1.1 (Converted final WMV to AVI format)
  VirtualDub 1.6.15 (removed subs where necessary, exported to AVI)
  
  And leave an opinion. Or something. Not that anyone will read this either.
