Description: Finally, I complete this video after working, on the video, off and on since mid December of 2005. The reason is, I haven’t had that much time to work on AMVs and when I did have time I didn’t feel like editing, but I sat down and said that I need to finish it and did just that. I heard this song about a year ago. I heard the song, Seven Years by Saosin and then started searching for other music by them. I found this song online and it was a demo song at the time. I had originally thought of using Cowboy Bebop for this song, but I never put that idea into action and I ended up making a Bebop video using a Sevendust song instead. I didn’t really think of editing a video to this song for a while after that, until I saw they had a new EP out which included the official version of this song. The song on the Album sounds a little bit different than the demo, mainly around the 1:18 mark for the interlude section. I still love the song, the official version sounds better than the demo version, mainly because it is a cleaner recording. I decided that I want to use this version, of the song, in an AMV. The question, I had, now was which Anime would fit the song. I decided to use s-CRY-ed while I was watching the box set. I knew the idea wouldn’t be straight spot on the lyrics, but it would fit very similarly and I didn’t need to match lyric for lyric to get my point across. The anime fits well with this song, even without much spot on lyric timings. I started editing this video with the intention to focus on Kazuma, while loosely following Kanami’s relationship to him. I wanted to keep the action theme pretty prevalent as well as adding some drama and serious sections. This video turned out well, and I have accomplished what I wanted to with it. I loved editing the video and I love the series. This is probably one of the few enjoyable videos I have made, that I actually like to watch.
