  This video is about Vash the Stampede, the "legendary gunman wanted for $$60 Billion, able to get out of the worst situations possible". It's about all those bad situations he has to try to put up with. I wanted this video to be pure action, with a lot of tight timing and action syncing. Most of the time spent on this video was doing or fixing all of the timing and action sync. I also did some lip syncing, which I'm not very experienced with, so I decided might as well start getting some experience now. ^_^
  
  Technical notes in the video...
  2:30 - Frame by frame editing. That wasn't originally Vash who was jumping out of the window. I exported the frames in low resolution, so that's why this one scene is not as sharp as the others.
  The picture at the end with the credits - I drew this. That's why it looks a little disoriented. ;)
  
  Song lyrics:
  What's the difference of never knowing at all,
  When every step I take is always too small?
  Maybe it's just something I can't admit, but lately
  I feel like I don't give a sh*t.
  
  Motivation, such an aggravation.
  Accusations, don't know how to take them.
  Inspiration's getting hard to fake it.
  Concentration's never hard to break it.
  Situation, never what you want it to be.
  
  What's the point of never making mistakes?
  Self-indulgence is such a hard habit to break.
  It's all just a waste of time in the end.
  I don't care so why should I even pretend?
  
  Motivation, such an aggravation,
  Accusations, don't know how to take them,
  Inspiration's getting hard to fake it,
  Concentration's never hard to break it,
  Situation, never what you want it to be.
  
  Nothing's new (everything's the same),
  It keeps on dragging me down (it's getting kind of lame),
  I'm falling further behind (there's nothing to explain),
  No matter what you say, nothing's gonna change my mind.
  
  Can't pretend on doubt until the end.
  It seems like leaving friends has become
  This year's trend, and though I can't pretend
  It's not the same, but who's to blame
  For all those stupid things I never said?

  Never what you want it to be.
  Never what you want it to be.
