  This is an entry I originally made for Anime Weekend Atlanta's Professional Awards contest back in 2015. I really wanted to work on this song and I really wanted to have something new to submit for that year's competition so I set out the night of the deadline to make what I'd call version 1 of this video. I got off work and then 5 hours later I had what amounted to an interesting retelling of one of the pivotal parts of the film.
  
  
  While watching the video on my new 4k TV I had forgotten that frame interpolation was enabled and I really dug the way the source looked both at 4k (grant it, up-scaled) and interpolated to 60fps. It was at that point I decided I wanted to spend the time to remake this video with a properly up-scaled and interpolated version of the source. I made a few test encodes but never actually sat down to do a proper edit. And thus the video sat unreleased on the back burner.
  
  
  Fast forward 6 or so years. I now own a copy of the movie in 4K. I take a rip of it. Grab a newer AVS script designed to frame interpolate, tweak it a bit, and pop out a 25 min clip of the segments I needed to make this video.
  
  
  Then started the painstaking task of taking every clip from the original video, finding the new clip in the new source, figuring out what speed trickery I used and what order I played the clips in, and get it all on the timeline. Considering I went from a 23.97 fps version to this new 60fps version there was a bit of tweaking to the clips I needed to do. I've also seen the video enough times that I've kinda remembered the clip order and have thought it to be the same as the movie but alas it was not.
  
  
  After finally getting the video back to where it was (not including the higher res or framerate) I then went through and made further tweaks to timing, tightening transitions, and replacing some clips for others that I felt fit better. Despite the original video being what I'd consider pretty good for only 5 hours of editing time it wasn't quite up to snuff with what I'd want to put out today.
  
  
  Thus brings us to the final version we have here. This truly is a completely new version of the original I never publically released back in the day. I hope you will enjoy this look into what drives us all to push on and achieve what we set our minds to.
