• Comments: WARNING! AGTUNG! BEEP! BEEP!BIG FLASHING RED LIGHTS! Not a happy video.
  
  It would be a misnomer to say that this video was “fun” to make. This video was more of an all-consuming passion; it had entered my mind and I could not shake it from there. Even now, the vestiges of it still linger inside of me. This is a story of Sara and the pain she experiences; a pain that is far to familiar too many women in the world over. Edit: In other words, this AMV is about the horrors of rape and is not a happy video.
  
  As for effects, I have used many very subtle ones throughout Lost Innocence. Two examples are when Sara cuts her hair and at the end when she sits holding the lock of hair she just cut off. In the first example, I ramped the footage (also known as Key Frame Remapping) to make it even more dramatic, and in the second I added a glow to her hair in the transition for the same effect. In addition I added some more major effects, but those should stand out on their own. I try to use effects only to add something to the piece, trying not to over use them.
  
  As for sync, I use a spider’s web of beat, mood, internal and lyrical. People seem to like to read the lyrics, so I have included them below.
  
  I can’t even begin to tell you how much time I put into this, as I said it was an obsession, a passion, and time is something that gets lost in that.
  
  Please leave an opinion, whether you like or hate the piece, or at least a quick comment.
  
  BTW, this NOT a fight or special effects video. Therefore, it is not a pure action sync (beat) video, if that is all you like than just stay away.
  
  Thanks,
  JH
  
  Trouble
  Oh trouble set me free
  I have seen your face
  And it’s too much for me
  
  Trouble
  Oh trouble can’t you see
  You’re eating my heart away
  And there’s nothing much left of me
  
  I’ve drunk your wine
  You have made your world mine
  So won’t you be fair
  So won’t you be fair
  
  I don’t want no more of you
  So won’t you be kind to me
  Just let me go where
  I’ll have to go there
  
  Trouble
  Oh trouble move away
  I have seen your face
  And it’s too much for me today
  
  Trouble
  Oh trouble can’t you see
  You have made me a wreck
  Now won’t you leave me in my misery
  
  I’ve seen your eyes
  And I can see death’s disguise
  Hangin’ on me
  Hangin’ on me
  
  I’m beat, I’m torn
  Shattered and tossed and worn
  Too shocking to see
  Too shocking to see
  
  Trouble
  Oh trouble move from me
  I have paid my debt
  Now won’t you leave me in my misery
  
  Trouble
  Oh trouble please be kind
  I don’t want to fight
  And I haven’t got a lot of time
