• Comments: Total honesty: I could not be more dissapointed with this videos technichal aspect if I tried.
  
  For more than two weeks I have tried to render this video, and each time I have gotten a new set of rendering problems. Everythings smooth right up until the end, and then the picture gets dodgy, jumpy, locks up, goes green SOMETHING, but never, not ever did I get a decent render for this video. This cut is no exception.
  
  For the tech aspects this is my first attempt using the AMV app to work directly with DVD rips. Special thanks out to Kalium for directing me to it and giving me one or more guide pointers. AMV app gave me some new experiences. Plus: No more Divx crashes, Minus: virtual memory lock-ups.
  
  This video has the same hitch as did "My thousand year life" in that everything is just about exactly the way I want it untill you come to the very end when My [explative] machine decided to gum up, in some way or another a perfectly good storyboard.
  
  You know what? So be it.
  
  I'm sorry, I wish it were perfect, I'd sell my right pinky to get it done right, but I've just had it.
  
  Here's the video. It was originally planned to be the first in a pair (Hence project Gemini). I still may make the second video, and I'll still try to get a good render, but for now, well I hope you enjoy what I could manage to render the way I want it.
  
  If you liked this, go out and get "Utena in the fold" by Gline and "Trippin' on Utena" by Jessmaster. Both of which I considder my core inspiration for assembling this AMV.
  
  Don't let my rantings stop you, I still think it's a good video even with it's flaws. If you know how to fix the bugs in it, lemme know.
