  The inspiration for this one is pretty simple: I stumbled upon an mp3 file of Blink 182's Adam's Song while going through my music collection last April looking for study music and thought, "Hmm, this kind of sounds like the first few episodes of Yu Yu Hakusho."
  
  The process of making it, however, was not so simple. Man, did I learn a lot from this project! It ended up being more complicated than I thought it would be when I first started out, but I picked up so much stuff in the 100+ hours I worked on it (a good amount of that time spent experimenting with effects, working on frame-by-frame stuff in Photoshop, and tweaking clips a frame or two so that they fit the audio better.)
  
  This is definitely my best video out there and I can honestly and happily say that I ended this project as a MUCH better AMV creator than when I started it.
  
  Enjoy! :)
  
  Oh, special thanks goes to:
  
  Ann, Carl, Danielle, and Dov for looking over the beta version.
  
  The AMV creators out there (too many to list) who make wonderful and inspirational works.
  
  And finally, Uncle Dan, Zach, G, Justin, H, Jodi, Akesha, Dan, Dan (yes, there are 2 of them), Tim, Andy, Stan, Julia, Joyce, Brian, Nick, Steve, Kevin, Jordan, Adam, Evan, Scott, Marshall, and Paul just because. :)
