  Wow, where to begin.
  
  Simply put, this AMV was created to redeem myself. I had ealier made another AMV and, although I believed it was pretty damn good, received poor responses. So, I sat myself down - motivated - to make another AMV. And this was what I created.
  
  I first tried to set out making an AMV that had tons of cool graphics flying everywhere. However, I soon realized that I didn't have the program nor the money (Adobe After Effects... sigh...) to do so. So I said, "screw it." There are plenty of great AMVs out there that are awesome without all the bells and whistles. All I had was my trusty outdated Adobe Premiere and some really really nice Naruto Footage and I was all set =)
  
  Next, picking the song. This was tough, because the song really dictates what the video is actually going to be about! In the end, I decided to go with Sum 41's (great band by the way) "Hell Song." The song sounds gritty, the lyrics are awesome, and the solo guitar at time 1:44 is just magnificint.
  
  Here are the brief lyrics:
  
  Everybody’s got their problems
  Everybody says the same things to you
  It’s just a matter how you solve them
  And knowing how to change the things you’ve been through
  
  I fear I’ve come to realize
  How fast life can be compromised
  Stand back to see what’s going on
  I can’t believe this happened to you, this happened to you
  
  It’s just a problem that we’re faced with
  Am I not the only one that hates to standby
  Complication’s headed first in this line
  With all these pictures running through my mind
  
  Knowing endless consequences
  I feel so useless in this
  Can’t patch that back and as for me, I can’t believe

  As you can tell, the lyrics really match up with the storyline that "Naruto" presents. For example, "Everybody’s got their problems/ Everybody says the same things to you." Sound awfully familiar? It should! Naruto is constantly being fed with bullsh!t stories from various opponents (ex. Neji and Gara) about their past and their (ahem) problems, but Naruto just shrugs it off and says (or usually screams at his opponents ;p), "Who cares?! I have em too!" Thats where the lines "It’s just a matter how you solve them/And knowing how to change the things you’ve been through" comes in. Naruto once said, "if you don't try, don't try at all." Ahh, wise words from the next hokage :)

  So, to cut short, here is my video "Problems." My first post and hopefully more to come. Cheers!
  Opinions and criticisms are always appreciated!
