  About life:
  
  Believe it or not, but right now Im actually fishing. Yes, fishing. I might be the first editor in the world who does something amv related while fishing. How awesome is that ? I will help you. It's not awesome at all. It's retarded. Im in the middle of nowhere, its freaking cold, its 7.32 am and Im fishing for last 2 hours. Guess what ? How many fishes I catched ? Null. Zero. Nothing. WTH. I tried diffrent worms, corn ... nothing.
  So I pulled out a pen and a notebook to write this thing.
  
  
  Edit: Finally, catched something. At least it will be enough for 1 person dinner. Im so manly, tehee ~~
  
  About AMV in general:
  
  I was looking for a song that would fit Spice and Wolf anime, but I ended up like you see. While browsing through my music folders - Celtic Women album catched my eye.
  It's been couple of months since last time I heard it, so yeah. Let's play . And it hit me. The idea. It happens sometimes, all editors know this feeling. The feeling of "owww, ahhhh, ooo". In other words. I have to do this thing even if it will be boring as hell and even if I will be the only one who will understand the concept behind it.
  
  It's pretty simple if you stop for a sec and think.
  
  Chaos Head anime [plus] The Voice = Let's make an AMV about a boy who's head is in chaos because he hears voices !
  
  Brilliant.
  
  I wanted to start the whole vid. fantasy like. Like in Disney Movies. But instead of a mouse with a huge head and retarded laughter I used a sexy women. But with time, everything gets more dramatic and main protagonist is getting more and more psycho. The boy is in pain, everyone hates him, his alone in the dark o.O.
  
  That's how I saw it. When I started I wasnt sure what Im aiming for. Horror ? Not really, so I went with drama. Drama of a person who is ill. Cos he is. His head is in chaos.
  
  And he killed someone. His head is in more chaos.
  
  So, like .... the title ?
  
  The Voice: SD = in other words The Voice: schizotypal disorder.
  
  Copy/paste from wiki:
  
  "A personality disorder that is characterized by a need for social isolation, odd behavior and thinking, and often unconventional beliefs.
  A pervasive pattern of social and interpersonal deficits marked by acute discomfort with, and reduced capacity for, close relationships as well as by cognitive or perceptual distortions and eccentricities of behavior, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts,
  as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
  
  - Ideas of reference (excluding delusions of reference)
  
  - Odd beliefs or magical thinking that influences behavior and is inconsistent with subcultural norms (e.g., superstitiousness, bizarre fantasies or preoccupations)
  
  - Unusual perceptual experiences, including bodily illusions
  
  - Odd thinking and speech (e.g., vague, circumstantial, metaphorical, overelaborate, or stereotyped)
  
  - Suspiciousness or paranoid ideation
  
  - Inappropriate or constricted affect
  
  - Behavior or appearance that is odd, eccentric, or peculiar
  
  - Lack of close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives
  
  - Social anxiety that tends to be associated with paranoid fears rather than negative judgments about self"
  
  Technical side:
  
  Its pretty simple I guess. Only the beginning was kind of tricky. Had to alter the audio not bo bore the shiet out of the viewers since it starts kind of slow.
  A few masks and some lip-synch. Tried my best with it. Second time I play around trying to do something that is called lip-synch. I believe it turned pretty good. At least its watchable. Other than that? Simple editing I guess. I concentreted on choosing clips to make the best of the lyrics and the atmosphere of chaos in the boys head.
  
  Lyrics:
  
  I hear your voice on the wind
  And I hear you call out my name
  
  "Listen, my child," you say to me
  "I am the voice of your history
  Be not afraid, come follow me
  Answer my call, and I'll set you free"
  
  I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain
  I am the voice of your hunger and pain
  I am the voice that always is calling you
  I am the voice, I will remain
  
  I am the voice in the fields when the summer's gone
  The dance of the leaves when the autumn winds blow
  Ne'er do I sleep thoughout all the cold winter long
  I am the force that in springtime will grow
  
  I am the voice of the past that will always be
  Filled with my sorrow and blood in my fields
  I am the voice of the future, bring me your peace
  Bring me your peace, and my wounds, they will heal
  
  I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain
  I am the voice of your hunger and pain
  I am the voice that always is calling you
  I am the voice
  
  I am the voice of the past that will always be
  I am the voice of your hunger and pain
  I am the voice of the future
  I am the voice, I am the voice
  I am the voice, I am the voice
