• Comments: This was my first music video! Yay! ^_^
  WARNING! The source for this was 320x240, but Windows Movie Maker was being sputzy and if I had actually exported it to 320x240, the picture would have been fuzzy and bad. So, if you want to see it at a crisp quality, just stop watching the 640x480 version at 100% and drop it down to 50% viewing. Thanks! ^_^
  
  I chose the song because it was:
  a) Not Linkin Park
  b) Not hard rock
  c) Not too long
  
  That, and I liked the song and could actually apply something to it. :p
  I picked Vandread and King of Bandit Jing because by themselves I wasn't sure I could make a full video that fit to this song. I just smashed them both together and they seemed to fit pretty well.
  
  My biggest problem with making the video, however, was lack of resources.
  I imported all of my video at a whopping 320x240 with Dazzle!
  I edited all of my video with the stupendously versatile (and TOTALLY stable) Windows Movie Maker 2.0!!
  As you can see, I was a little limited with what I could do, and WMM2.0 really liked to crash a lot on me because, as far as I can tell, it's an inefficient program that acts as a RAM black hole.
  Once I finished the video, I tried exporting it and WMM2.0 refused to save it to video, so I had to spend the rest of the day trying to get the video to actually export (sadly the only way I managed this was to isolate the malfunctioning part, export it to high-quality video, and then insert the compacted clips into an older saved version of the project).
  
  Anyway, I've rambled long enough. Enjoy my first video, and hopefully there will be more to come! ^_^
  
  Please leave some feedback if you have the time! Thank you!
