• Comments: This is a re-edit of a music video I made in 2001. For the original video's description, check it out here:

  This video highlights the feminine wackiness that is Faye and Ed from Cowboy Bebop. While most Bebop character-based videos are serious (and that is by no means a bad thing), I wanted to take a lighthearted look at this anime's leading ladies, and how they drive Spike nuts.
  
  The first half of the video focuses on Faye (the "beautiful one"), while the second half switches to Ed (the "younger one"). Some parts in this video are a bit of a stretch, such as making it look like Faye thinks men are all about her. Then again... that's not much a stretch. OK, the Ed stuff was a lot harder, but that's part of the fun, making it look like Ed is all about using guys. Even so, I think the result is more or less fun.
  
  So, why did I decide to re-make this video? Well, the original was the first video I made with my new DVD player and computer. That said, the original's video and editing are a bit less than stellar. Now that I rip DVD footage for all my videos, I wanted to re-edit the video with ripped footage from the regular TV series DVD, and the special Best Session DVD with ultra sexy video quality. I hope the improved video quality shows in this new version. :) I also wanted to re-make the is video so I could improve the editing and make it tighter, as well as replace scenes that didn't really work in the original, add cheesy extras, and fix the horrendous lip synching in the first version.
  
  ** Here's what's different in this version: **
  - Different scene for Spike's first lip sync.
  - Silly Faye "dance" scene at :05. Why? I dunno, for my own amusement, I guess. Although I don't know why the screen gets all messed up at that part.
  - Drumroll at :33
  - Gun shot ay :55
  - Faye's timed face twitches at 1:07
  - Slightly different scene changes at 1:11
  - Totally re-timed section from 1:14-1:25
  - Computer hacking "pop-up windows" at 1:29
  - Dancing Ed smilies at 1:32
  - Spike images-masked and lip synching on Ed's computer screen at 1:35
  - Ed scene-addition at 2:34
  - One of the biggest changes in the video is the section from 2:43-2:53. This entire section is completely different from the original, and is just about the only serious part of this video. It kinda says "Faye realizes what kind of woman she is. She's one of 'those' kinds of girls."
  - Correct slide transition direction at 3:13
  - Scene change at 3:17
  - Image-masking to cover all unnecessary lip-flapping
  - Tighter editing throughout video
  
  And, if you care to read along, here are the song's lyrics:
  
  Some girls are crazy
  Just listen to what I have to say about it
  You've gotta watch out for the beautiful ones
  They'll twist your head right off your neck
  And laugh about it with their friends
  That's just one night for them
  
  They target you with their eyes
  And move with their lips
  And it pulls you in
  She shuts you down with her voice again
  And now are you listening?
  
  This song goes out to girls
  That we haven't met just yet
  This song is for stupid girls
  Who think that every boy is all about them
  
  These girls are crazy
  Just listen to what I have to say about it
  You've gotta watch out for the younger ones
  They'll tightly wrap you around their fingers
  And brag to all their friends
  It's nothing but a game to them
  
  They target you with their eyes
  And move with their lips
  And it pulls you in
  She shuts you down with her voice again
  And now are you listening?
  
  This song goes out to girls
  That we haven't met just yet
  This song is for stupid girls
  Who think that every boy is all about them
  
  You think you're on top of the world
  When all the eyes are on you
  Just wait until your heart breaks
  And you'll know how I felt when I wrote...
  
  Hope you enjoy the new, cleaner version of this video! I think the improvements were well worth it. Enjoy!
