  Yes, NGE is overused... I know... but I don't care...
  
  Info
  -----
  It was planned to be a dark, fast-paced and horroristic video.
  
  There is a story. It's mostly about Shinji and Asuka, and their darker selves. I don't
  want to write it down here, if you're going to watch this, you will find out (I hope...).
  
  There are a lot of motion, camera movements and other stuff in the vid, in symbol of the
  "constant motion", that everything is changing (like Asuka and Shinji's relationship),
  everything is in motion.
  
  Technical side
  -----------------
  Well, it was 3 months of work to finish this vid. I've never worked this much in any vids than this... The effort is about 120% :)
  Avisynth filtering (especially cleaning up the footage...), x264 encoding in Megui, most parts of AE, they were all new to me, so it was a lot of time to found out how to do something...
  I know the song feels too long for some people, but I can't and didn't want to cut out more from it, so the originally 6:55 long song ended up at 4:29...
  
  
  Programs used: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects & Photoshop, Besweet, Megui, Avisynth, Virtualdub
  
  Thanks to the beta testers for telling me the mistakes and bugs and for the advices:

  Lyrics:
  
  "Tunnel vision at blinding speed
  Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me
  Void of any uncertainty
  Throughout my very soul
  
  Lost illusions of mind control
  Resisting all hope of letting go
  Racing impulse of dark desire
  Drives me through the night
  
  I try to shut it down
  It leaves me in the dust
  No matter what I've found
  I can never get enough
  
  Frantic actions of insanity
  Impulsive laced profanity
  Long for elusive serenity
  Way out of my control
  
  Traveling through both space and time
  (Out of body, out of mind)
  Out of control
  My wheels in constant motion
  
  Spinning round and round it goes
  (I can't let up, I can't let go)
  Can't stop this flame from burning
  Forever more
  Into the night
  Blistering
  
  Focus here, focus there
  Cannot see the light
  (Falling down through the night)
  Sprawling everywhere
  
  Searching left, searching right
  (Panic setting in, I can no longer fight)
  When will this end?
  
  Accelerate, dislocate
  (Set to crash and burn, haven't got time to waste)
  Not planning to return
  
  Aggravate, agitate
  (When will I ever learn?)
  There's no way out of here
  Nowhere to turn
  
  Obsessive yearning
  Compulsive burning
  Still never learning
  Insane random thoughts
  Of neat disorder
  
  Scattered wasteland surrounding me
  Tattered memories of what used to be
  Apocalyptic mind debris
  Until we meet again
  
  Traveling through both space and time
  (Out of body, out of mind)
  Out of control
  My wheels in constant motion
  
  Spinning round and round it goes
  (I can't let up, I can't let go)
  Can't stop this flame from burning
  Forever more
  Into the night
  Blistering
  
  Traveling through both space and time
  (Out of body, out of mind)
  Out of control
  My wheels in constant motion
  
  Spinning round and round it goes
  (I can't let up, I can't let go)
  Can't stop this flame from burning
  Can't stop the wheels from turning
  
  Traveling through both space and time
  (You get yours, and I got mine)
  Out of control
  My wheels in constant motion
  
  Spinning round and round it goes
  (I can't let up, I can't let go)
  Can't stop this flame from burning
  Forever more
  Into the night
  Blistering"
