  The long in-the-making Matrix vid I've had plugged on my profile for nearly a month now is finally here, and, aside from a few flaws, i, as a dignified and classy member of this great AMV making collective of ours, have no hesitations in politely expressing the hypothetical thesis statement that this vid owns you, your mom, your dad, your siblings, your small pets as well as your next door neighbors goat.
  
  Not that I'm bragging or anything :-D
  
  There's no story explanation necessary, as I just set out to kick ass as well and as coolly as possible. This COULD'VE been done in a few days, the amount of thought I've spent daydreaming about this AMV since June.....however, I quickly found out that with great power comes great responsibility.....and WORK.....
  
  For one, this is my first time editing across several different sources (Matrix DVD, Animatrix DVD, Reloaded DVD, and about 4 of the Revolutions trailers/commercials)....add in that this is my first time working with faster than middle-speed edits...add in that this is my first time using speech over music....and it collects up into one big pile of WHEW.....
  
  The flaws? Well, for one, Morpheus' first bit of speech just WOULDN'T stay in the time limit before the first chorus began, so I had to do something fairly cheap to make enough of it fit in to make sense.... Sorry 'bout that.... Also, there's two moments in there where the music skips....I'll spare you all the grueling tale of how Windows Movie Maker just couldn't handle the sheer amount of clips I had loaded in there and refused to save the video all in one shot, but in short, I'll just say, some splitting and splicing had to be done, and after a 2am struggle-session, I conceded defeat, and let them go. Hopefully they dont damage any of my scores any...::wink wink nudge nudge:;
  
  Also, some more hardened AMV makers will kinda scoff at the true "asskicking" part of the vid.....admittedly, "Euphoria" it ain't....it's just really simple quick cuts made from well-planned-out footage.....but, I think the action and the scenes chosen carry the video way past its simple elements....(hopefully)
  
  Anyways....here it is...my first true balls-to-the-wall action vid.....hope you all enjoy...especially Linkin Park fans.....you guys need more quality "not randomly put together in 2 hours" vids....:-D
  
  Local vid is WMV, the Direct Link, MPEG. Sorry, no AVI this time. You wanna face off against a 132MB upload, be my guest :p
  
  Anyone who leaves an op will get one in return.
