  About the editing process:
  
  Ok this was ment as an birthday AMV for my gf Lisa,
  so I wanted to make it emotional and slow since she
  like such kind of AMV's.
  In the verses I used textsynched and lipsynched scenes
  and showed the timing (guitar) with some white strings.
  I also made some soft black bars with cookie cutter to
  let the video look more like a dream or a memory.
  
  But from 0:51 - 1:00 I had an weird problem, the lipsynch
  mask began to blink after rendering. I don't know why, I
  tried everything, made a new mask used another scene, pulled
  the whole video a few minutes farther but nothing worked,
  the blinking shit doesn't disapeared so I had to add
  TVSimulator and Filmgrain to let it look like the blinking
  was intent. Damn shit, normally it should be clean, anyways
  I hope you don't think I'm a noob who just wanted more fx.
  
  Then I came to the chorus, I tried much stuff out to let it
  look kinda intense but it was mostly too intense and destroyed
  the flow so I just decited to make some extra borders with
  newsprint and an warm gradient map. I timed everything and
  I think thats ok for the chorus, I don't wanted to make too
  much.
  
  In the second verse I made the same like in the first verse,
  this time without this blinking problem I had in the first verse
  with one mask. At 1:46 is a little failure with one white line,
  I made a screenshot at a point where a line was an added it to
  the lipsync and the line showed up twice but I'm too lazy to
  make a new mask, change that and render it again for 50 minutes.
  
  Then in the second chorus I made the same like in the first one.
  
  In the following bridgepart I decited to add no effects and just
  time the scenes on the beat. Ok I used cookie cutter for the
  same size of blackbars in all clips 'cause some of them had
  different aspect ratio but it's not really noticeable. And it
  was intend that I used different kind of scenes, funny momemts,
  sad moments and romantic moments in the same part 'cause I wanted
  to show how fast feelings can change.
  
  Then the third chorus came, I made the same like in the other two.
  
  Then I made the end, yeah I cutted the song but not because of
  lazyness. The song has normally 50 more seconds of distortion parts,
  e-guitars and a little solo. But this would made the whole video
  look to wild and with too fast so I decited to cut this out.
  
  In the outro I used a little scene where the guy wantet to leave her
  but she wanted him back and he stoped. I made it in slowmow so it
  fits in the whole outro, I let the textscroll came out behind the scene
  and made a cookie cutter in the text so it doesn't show up below the
  scene.
  
  Rendering: Man I never had so much problems with Vegas in an AMV before,
  I timed everything with audiopeaks and ears in vegas and checked it
  in Vegas and everything was perfect. Then I rendered it (50 minutes)
  and checked the video and about the middlpart there was a little Music/Visual
  delay wich was bigger near the end, about 1 - 2 seconds and I didn't know
  why. I checked Vegas again and there it was still perfect. So I cut out a
  bit of the visuals in the time where the delay came, in Vegas it looked off
  time there but the video was better but still not perfect. I cutted more
  and after the sixth save it was good... after 4 hours of rendering, damn
  you Vegas. So I hope you forgive me some tiny timing failures, Vegas was a
  bitch in this AMV.
  
  lol I don't think anyone read this, lol.
  Anyways thanks for watching^^

  Song Lyrics:
  
  Thank you for being such a friend to me
  Oh I pray a friend for life,
  And have I ever told you how much you mean to me?
  Oh you mean so much to me...
  Thinking all the time how to tell you what I feel,
  Contemplating phrases (beachte die ausdrücke)
  ....I'm gazing at eternity (ich starre in die ewigkeit),
  I am floating in serenity (gelassenheit)...
  
  And I am so lost for words
  And I am so overwhelmed (überlastet)
  
  Please don't leave just yet
  Can you stay a moment please
  We can dance together
  We can dance forever
  
  Under your stars tonight
  We'll live and breathe this dream
  
  So close your eyes, but don't dream too deep
  And please pass me some memories
  And when I fall you're underneath
  1000 broken hearts, carried by 1000 broken wings
