• Comments: I started making this AMV around 11th February, so it makes it 2 weeks of work. I must say I really worked on it... It was 3-6 hours per day, whenever I had free time to spare. I had the idea in my mind from long time ago, when I started editing. I just wanted to wait until I get a little better =)
  Shuffle! was the first serious anime I watched, and pretty much responsible that I got into them... Even the first AMV I downloaded was Shuffle! AMV XD.
  Song, however, really isn't my type of music, but lyrics somehow match with Asa/Rin circumstances, so I picked it.
  So, in this video I tried to focus mainly on story that's revolving in the anime. It had to be spoily, because (everyone who watched Shuffle! has to agree with me) the interesting stuff between Rin and Asa happens in episode 18 and after.
  Also, I did much lyric sync (especially in the begining), as well as regular sync (scenes are synced more with singer's voice than the beat, cuz music is quite in comparison to vocal). The amount of effects I used is minimal, only masks, a couple of time... So that's the reason I didn't check the "effects" category. You may also notice lip movements in some scenes. That, of course, isn't lipsync, it's because I wanted to make characters less static.
  Note: 3rd chorus isn't so fluid as 2nd, cuz I wanted to put story ahead of anything else.
  
  Storyline(short description):
  (if you're having problems catching up with story, read this, but there are spoilers...)
  First part of the AMV tells about those happy times, like a typical Romance video, in anime it would be until 22 ep (although there a lot of dramatic stuff happening in eps 19-21). From 1:24 I darkened things a little bit. Asa has that illness, and she would eventually die, unless she uses magic. But she refuses to...(why? why is she even sick? go watch the anime, or read it on the net XD)
  
  Lyrics:
  I really miss you, a song that I gotta say
  
  The things we did, the things we said
  Keep comin' back to me and make me smile again
  You showed me how to face the truth
  Everything that's good in me I owe to you
  
  Though the distance that's between us
  Now may seem to be too far
  It will never separate us
  Deep inside, I know you are
  
  Chorus:
  Never gone, never far
  In my heart is where you are
  Always close, everyday
  Every step along the way
  Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
  I know you would be forever in my life (yeah)
  Never gone
  
  No, no, no, no
  
  I walk along these empty streets
  There is not a second you're not here with me
  The love you gave, the grace you've shown
  Will always give me strength and be my cornerstone
  
  (Somehow) somehow you found a way
  To see the best I have in me
  As long as time goes on
  I swear to you that you will be
  
  Chorus:
  Never gone, never far
  In my heart is where you are
  Always close (always close), everyday (everyday yeah)
  Every step along the way
  Even though for now we've got to say goodbye
  I know you would be forever in my life (in my life, yeah)
  
  Never gone (gone from me)
  If there's one thing I believe (I believe)
  I will see you somewhere down the road again
  (I will see you somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere)
  
  (Never gone) Never gone, never far
  In my heart is where you are
  Always close (always close, always close), everyday (everyday, everyday)
  Every step along the way
  Even though for now we've got to say goodbye (yeah, yeah)
  I know you would be forever in my life
  
  Never gone, never far
  In my heart is where you are (in my heart is where you are)
  Always close (always close), everyday (everyday)
  Every step along the way
  
  Never gone, never far
  In my heart is where you are
  
  I hope you enjoy it
  =)
