Romantic Confessions is the story of Keitaro and Naru's love for each other, taking place of the series that is Love Hina. I won't get into much detail into the plot or the specifics, as they should speak for themselves in the video. Also, I used the acoustic version of this song as I felt it had more of an intimate feel to it that would help to better set the mood for the video. However I will take a minute to talk about the making of the video.
---------------------------------------------------
Romantic Confessions: The Making Of...
I've wanted to make a serious, romantic video, to Love Hina for some time now. My orriginal idea was to use Possome Kingdom by The Toadies, back in 2006. I ended up scrapping the plan and to a lesser extent I made a Love Hina video Not What You Think back in December of 2006. The story wasn't the story I wanted to tell however, I more or less made it on a whim, and even threw in a plot twist at the end of the video. However I still wanted to tell this story. So after my recent SoulTaker AMV project became corrupted and was lost, I decided now was a good as time as any.
The back story behind this video can best be described as an AMV endurance test. 12:00AM, Friday, October 17, 2008 it began. I started ripping the video footage. As I was ripping the DVD's to my computer I was sorting threw it deciding what scenes may be the most useful to me in my project. I hadn't watched Love Hina in at least two years at this point so I wasn't quite as familiar with the footage anymore. Once the footage was ripped I spent four hours story boarding. This means figuring out which clips will be going where in the video, matching things up to lyrics, figuring out what order the clips should go in to best tell my story. Once this was complete I quickly setup a rough draft in Adobe Premiere. Nothing special, just droping the general clips into the general area I wanted them based off the story board. This was to give me an idea of the flow of the video, so I could make sure it worked out before I stated editing. I had to make a few changes but then I could get to work. By this point it was about 06:00 - 07:00AM. I got to work editing, taking breaks here in there. I had to re-work a few ideas more then once to get them to look right. Long story short, I spent the entire day editing. I finished editing about 8:00PM Friday. I took the occasional break in between to rest my mind, grab some food, ext. I then sent a beta out to a few other AMV editors to see what they though. By this point I was so tired that I no longer had any concept of good or bad. I hadn't been to sleep for over 32 hours, I had been editing for 18 hours with only the occasional break. Once they all gave it the ok it was time to compress it and get it online... however Virtual Dubb decides it wants to wig out on me. No matter what I did the audio and video were out of synch. After spending a good hour playing around with it I managed to get the problem fixed... I have know idea what the problem was.. however I'm sure it was user error due to my current zombie like state. Because of the delays, as of writing this it is 2:30AM Saturday, October 18, 2008. This means, upon completion of this video, I spent over 20 hours sitting at the computer without leaving, and over 36 without sleep. Again, this hole project can be best described as an AMV endurance test.

Lyrics:
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now...
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you....
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
Just hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment here with you
