  Announcement Thread
  
  Radical Yue: "zomg. this vid kiks ur ass. watch it and leave an op"
  
  o3o
  
  New Full Moon AMV.
  
  Without the clock =O
  
  Feck yeah.
  
  Okay, the idea first started when i was at school and my buddy Jen brought her laptop. She put on some within temptation music and ended up playing that "Somewhere" song. So i started thinking.. hmm. Maybe i should remaster it! =O SO. After school, steal shell's hard drive, rip 300+ clips, get the song, open vegas... and blank. Normally i can edit spontaneously from whatever scenes i have.. but for some reason when i tried.. i just didnt know how to start. From then on i just started losing motivation =|. Afterward I was about to do something drastic. Delete all that 300+ clip footage that i spent hours getting, just because i lost motivation for one project. SO. I decided to browse through my song folder and find a new song for a full moon vid o3o
  
  So i looked through Pillar's folder and found the song Wherever The Wind Blows. Thought it was pretty, and started editing. Sadly the song is only pretty for so long, and began to lose even more interest in making a full moon video. So there i was again, clip folder highlighted, my finger so close to that delete button.. but i couldnt do it, cause full moon is a long series and its such a waste to get all of that footage and just delete it without using it. SO. I complained to shell and asked if she had any awsm songs. Low and behold she did. A somewhat overused song, but its pretty dangit. Screw the rules i have money. Well actually i dont, but yeah whatever. This time as soon as i started editing, my editing senses were all clicked and before i knew it i was dragging scenes onto the timeline. Surprisingly i didnt lose motivation, and i actually finished it. Feck Yeah.
  
  Okay, as for the video.. its sentimental, cutesy, angsty mitsuki smut pretty much. C'mon, Mitsuki needs some love. You know, the girl with those croissants in her hair. On a more serious note, the video pretty much revolves around her aspirations to become a singer and her pop-idol life. The 'Miracle' theme comes in considering shinigami giving her a chance to fulfill her dreams is a miracle. It also comes in on how the fact Mitsuki has influenced many lives of people she'd befriended throughout her career. And then the angsty mitsuki smut. Those who have seen the series will know. =| Yayyyy angst! o3o
  
  Now for the technicalities, if anyone actually cares. The footage came directly from dvds and the song was ripped directly from the official cd. This time i put up two encodes so i stop getting those "z0mg 1 lyk3 c4n't pl4y th1zz st00p1d mp4 U g3t st41ght 1's =OOOOOJLNLMDNG". So we've got your smexy mp4 for the quality nitpicky and your decent high-sized xvid for those who burn amvs to vcds/dvds/etc, or those who just cant play mp4s. Although the xvid quality is questionable, i think the mp4 turned out much better this time around. No aspect ratio issues, no overfiltering. Thanks bakadeshi for helping me sort out that odd widescreen issue o3o
  
  Anyways, in conclusion, if you plan on taking Yue's advice, be warned there are hardcore full moon spoilers, so if you havent seen the series and/or planning to, or have only started or are halfway through the series, etc etc, dont say i didn't warn you o3o
  
  Lyrics
  It's taken much too long
  To get it right
  Would it be so wrong
  To maybe find someone
  A miracle
  
  And all you really need
  Is everything you could never be
  And so you'd give it all
  For a miracle
  
  Is there a trace
  Inside her face
  Of a lonely miracle
  And so you wait
  And lie awake
  For a lonely miracle
  
  You never really know
  What it is
  Not until it goes
  And if it comes again
  It's a miracle
  
  But what you miss is love
  In everything below and up above
  And could she bring it all
  A miracle
  
  Is there a trace
  Inside her face
  Of a lonely miracle
  And so you wait
  And lie awake
  For a lonely miracle
  
  All you wanted was a (miracle)
  All you needed was a miracle
  A miracle
  And all you wanted was a (miracle)
  All you needed was a miracle
  A miracle
  
  It's taken so long to get it right
  Could it be so wrong
  To maybe find someone
  A miracle
  
  Is there a trace
  Inside her face
  Of a lonely miracle
  And so you wait
  And lie awake
  For a lonely miracle
  
  Is there a trace
  Inside her face
  Of a lonely miracle
  And so you wait
  And lie awake
  For a lonely miracle
  
  Enjoy o3o
