    OK, that’s pushing it. But, seriously, I’m proud as hell of this one. This song was my first choice for this vid, but for a moment, I went through all my music, see if there was something a bit more fun or ass-kicking I could set the almighty classic to. I mean, I already did a dramatic vid, do I really wanna do two in a row? But each and every time, I kept thinking of this Staind song. So, for the sake of posterity, being able to say “Well, I tried”, I started editing to it. VERY quickly it all started to come together. I think my brain knew how epic the song could be way before even I did, and almost possessed, I had finished the vid in 5 hours total. I even ended up editing the song a little to fit my needs. My only regret is that quite a bit of the third quarter of the film (after Tetsuo dons the red cape) got glossed over so I could make that third chorus fit the film’s grand finale. And yet, I think it works like a voodoo charm. Yes, I promise to ease back some on the “Fade To White” next few vids.

    Also, technical stuff: I know, the bitrate is pretty low on this one. Mostly a result of me panicking after finishing the vid, and going "Holy crap! 6 minutes?!", and trying to get it to convert to as low a filesize as I could to save bandwidth. It still looks good, except for some "skippy" moments during closeups, but they dont hurt the video as a whole much, but in case anyone was wondering why its there, thats why.

    (UPDATE [10-3-03]: All allusions toward being God should not be taken literally. In hindsight, this vid isnt THAT good :-) )

    Anyone who leaves an op will get one in return.
