• Comments: This was one done during some downtime, just because we watched an anime. Speaking for myself, I've always liked TMBG, and this song in my years growing up with a camcorder (and later with AMVs) just needed it.
  Because we used just one episode of one series, the footage got a little dicey. Follow the course of the show, or play it out and make it look original? We went original and tried to not look like the footage was spreading thin (although it felt that way near the end.) The bridge was a flash of inspiration. Running out of ideas, the debate that sparked this sequence played out like this:
  
  Editor 1: "If we use anymore of the camcorder shots, we won't have anything for the last chorus. We should scrap this."
  Editor 2: "No way! We can do this! Let's just use a shot of another episode."
  Editor 1: "There's nothing in those that won't feel out of place. Why don't we just set it aside for now?"
  Editor 2: "But we're so close! Can't we finish this last one before we stop for a while?"
  Editor 1: "..."
  Editor 2: "What?"
  Editor 1: "That... gives me an idea."
