• Comments: This is a very short retelling of episode 2 of His and Her Circumstances. Made mainly because the idea was there and wouldn't leave me alone. ...So, after three months of editing, this became my first AMV made with Magix Movie Edit Pro 11.
  
  Story:
  (Much of the story goes by pretty fast. I'm currently writing up a detailed story-line for this, but it's taking longer than anticipated. I'll have the story-line up as soon as possible, but I'm a little busy... Be paitent until then...)
  
  AMV Background:
  As much as I wanted to stop making instrumental AMV's (hence why it's under RPS and not Cruel Irony), the song/anime combination, to me, were meant for each other and the idea wouldn't leave until I made it into an AMV. ...Go figure.
  
  I consider this a small victory in improving my editing skill. I'm not 100% pleased on how this turned out... then I think that it could've been worse if it was made with that software. (You know what I talking about, right?)
  
  Editing:
  I must admit, I'm still new to editing in Magix and most of the stuff that I did in this was experimenting (okay, putzing) around with cropping, resizing and transparency.
  
  Problems:
  0:14-0:27.5 -- I just didn't like this part. Possibly because I edited the beginning first, then the ending, while the middle came last. Not that I didn't think through the story/timeline or anything like that, it just that I didn't know how to present that part in the first place and it was put off until that was the only thing left that I had to do.
  
  Then, there was visual quality of Kare Kano. It was like trying to clean a dusty window from the opposite side. (Bad metaphor. :|) ...But I did what I could.
  
  
  As always, opinions and quick comments are appreciated. And positive comments and/or constructive criticism boosts my confidence in editing. (You have no idea how frustrating and grueling this was for me trying to put my past two AMV's to shame... Okay, maybe you do.)
