  I wanted to use this song, because I really liked the disco version (as opposed to the original, slower one). And I thought it would be perfect for Takada, because I think Takada and Britney are both princesses.
  
  For the beginning, I tried to recreate the effects in the DISCO version of the music video - everything at the beginning was tinted green, with many flashes (camera flashes), high contrast (a lot of black in the picture), and the camera moved as if it were showing the scene from one of the paparazzi. I think it turned out decently, whether one likes the style of the original or not.
  
  Hmm, I would link to the clip of it on YouTube but I don't think it's available in my country and it's not coming up on the search engines. :/
  
  And thanks to Ermac and AbsoluteDestiny -

  I was so surprised that it came out first pass at less than 20 megs! (the audio made it 22megs) But really great! >3<
  
  Feedback much appreciated! :D (as detailed as possible, please)
  
  Cheers!
  
  EDIT: Wow, it won the SMASH AMV contest in August 2009! :0 Glad people enjoyed it! ^w^ (or at least one person, anyway)
