Description: So there isn't much, or for that mater any, back story to this video. I was sitting at home on a Friday night, bored, going threw various songs I have and I came accost this one. For reason unknown to me I decided I would go ahead and make a video to it. After all it was a short, fun, song that I figured I could make a quick video to. So I grabbed some pre-made video clips (about four old backup CD-Rs of Gohan vs Cell clips a friend ripped for me years ago) and went to work.
I didn't plan on making anything too serious and was really just interested in the chorus, so when I got to the first verse of the song I was stuck.
I thought about it awhile and I remembered that awhile back while watching a Metallica Music Video DVD with my buddy James awhile back that I really liked the way the pulled off the video. Almost the entire video was just the footage shrunken down and off to the corner with various text shaking next to it. So the first verse is my little ploy of that. By this time I had been editing for about... five or six hours and was starting to get tired and unmotivated, it was one in the morning by this point. So generally I kinda flew threw the second chorus without much effort and I'm sure it shows.
I wake up Saturday about 10am, and get back to work. For the second verse I have much planned. So I decided to watch some various music videos for inspiration. Watched a little MTV.com, watched some various wrestling Promos, watched a few AMVs. After awhile I came across MeriC and VegettoEX's "I Walk Alone." In there video at about 0:03:47 or so they have a sequence of effects that I really liked. I bunch of resized clips flying around the screen feathered off. I've wanted to do something like that since the first time I watched the video because I thought it was such a great idea on there part however I never found a good place to use it. Also it seemed to fit in perfectly with what I did for the second verse. However the problem here was that I'm still using the old Adobe Premiere 6.0. So after a few image masks and a bunch of hours later I manage to produce something very similar to what they did in theory.... however in execution it just wasn't working. So at this point I removed verse two all together.
Verse 2, take two. So now that I successfully waisted a good few hours trying to reproduce that I'm still stuck with nothing. What did I do? Removed about 14 video tracks, removed a few effects I added to the background, and added some text (because after all it had to match the first verse.) I went from having feathered down clips flying around all over a messy and busy background to having 1 clip at a time flying over text over a far less messy background.
There isn't much story to the rest of the video. I spent the rest of the day editing. About 7PM I finished editing. I just kept going tell I hit the end.
However about the end. EVERY Gohan vs Cell video, and in fact most Gohan tribute videos, end with the same old scene of Gohan blowing cell into little pieces with the Father/Son Kamehameha and then falling to the ground all tried, broken, and happy. Because of this reason I specificity did NOT want to end my video this way. So in turn I didn't.
And here we are.
