• Comments: OK, OK...first of all, this one is different....just warning you straight out. Not typical. FYI it is an AMV...gotta get past the few seconds in the beginning, and it starts out a little slow. Picks up at the chorus!
  
  I actually had a plan, a storyline mapped in my head, and decided to approach this AMV in a very unusual way.
  
  Yes, I know there are subtitles, I did that on purpose. If you can actually read subtitles and watch at the same time - the subtitles play a role in the AMV's storyline. If you hate subtitles, there are not that many, I do crop them out ya know.
  
  This is my first STORY AMV! My first attempt at something sentimental, romantic, and almost character profilish for the two characters.
  
  The AMV will make more sense to fans of the show, but if you haven't seen it....here's the story:
  
  Inoue Orihime decided to become a prisoner of the enemy in order to save her friends and her secret love. She is given twelve hours to say goodbye and can only say goodbye to ONE person, and that one person can not realize that she is saying goodbye. After some thinking, she decides to say goodbye to Ichigo, the boy she secretly loves. Ichigo was injured in a fight with the enemy, and is sleeping when Orihime pays him a visit to say goodbye.
  
  Ichigo learns that Orihime is gone, and decides to go save her. Upon reuniting with her, in order to save her, Ichigo must use a new power that Orihime does not know about. This new poser frightens Inoue, as it reminds her of her past...
  
  Afraid for her love, Inoue finally says something very important to Ichigo...getting over her fear of his new power. Finally they are reunited (some past memories here too), and the GUY GETS THE GIRL! (at least in my AMV he does....in reality she never tells him, and he's clueless).
  
  If you are a Bleach fan----- I don't necessarily like this pairing, it just fit in my head for the AMV. I wanted to do an AMV to Say for a long time now-----when the song FIRST came out....and finally one day it just clicked. Viola.
  
  I worked really hard on sync in this vid----seriously...blinking on the drum beat, walking to the beat...etc. Hopefully it shows. I only attempted lip sync in one part, right after the first chorus where Ichigo says, "shadows in your head." Other parts are mere "lip flap" and ended there, so please be nice about that----it's not supposed to match. Edited in WMM.
  
  And the end bit...well I just love that scene...and thought it lightened it up at the end.
  
  And finally many THANKS to:
  Everyone who helped me beta-----you all had some major awesome viewpoints, and I realized that my beta idea and the viewpoints were on totallly different pages for where I wanted this AMV to go...so I do intend on creating this AMV again in a more "traditional" manner....because again, those who helped me beta you had awesome suggestions. It wasn't that I was ignoring you, rather I think we had different end products in mind! However, let me point out that it was my fault for not being clear enough with you all about my beta, and....not following up with you all! I ended up in a time crunch and couldn't get back to anyone.
  
  THANKS!!!! THANKS!!!! and THANKS!!!----you all gave me a piece of your vaulable time, and it is not without thanks! Thanks for helping with the beta!!!! :D
  
  (and on a side note: FYI- I do buy anime!!! I own only two movies....this part of the series is not out yet, and I like to buy dubs when possible as I'm blind, and it's so nice to be able to watch my anime without contacts or glasses needed. This is still on the "how is best to purchase this series list"-----I'm very guilty of buying those condensed box sets....as I rarely buy series by single DVDs anymore...I've had way too many of them dropped mid series, and box sets take up less room). Anyone who has been around long enough, and buys anime knows what I'm talking about. The fansub is Dattebayo.
