*NEW!* Title: "Let Me Save You" Anime: Kimagure Orange Road Format: MPEG Song: "I Want to Save You" by Something Corporate Length: 4:23 Size: 66 MB Debuted: 9/27/03 Awards: - Best Romance at AWA 9, Pro Contest Note: This video was made by both Meri and VegettoEX	As usual, the quickie description comes first: hardened, jaded girl hates boys, boy falls in love with tough girl, girl rejects boy, boy keeps trying and gets through to girl, girl eventually falls for boy... yeah love! In a way, this follows the main relationship in Kimagure Orange Road, but at the same time, we somewhat tinker with Madoka's character and motivations in our video, as you will read later on in the video description. This is one of our favorite collaborative videos to date. We had a lot of fun telling this story. We also enjoying using an anime that is (sadly) underused. If we can get people interested in KOR (and maybe even the band Something Corporate), then we think we've done our job. We hope you like this video, even if you haven't seen KOR!

*NEW!* Title: "Walkie Talkie: DDR Project 3, track 19" Anime: Kodomo no Omocha Format: MPEG Song: "Walkie Talkie" by King Kong and the D. Jungle Girls Length: 1:43 Size: 26 MB Debuted: 9/27/03 Note: This video debuted as part of the DDR3 Project at AWA 9	Here’s the quick description of this video: the song is called “Walkie Talkie.” Sana uses a walkie talkie in “Kodomo no Omocha.” And she dances a lot. It's a crazy, fun dance video! The majority of this video is Sana dancing and singing to the music. The main challenge was trying to get her to move TO the music. Needless to say, that required quite a bit of editing. Since this IS a video for the DDR Project, I wanted it to be a little flashy, but mostly dancy and just plain fun. There is also a little bit of lip syncing, but not too much. Watch out for the Akito bird, though! Also be on the look out for my small tribute to Ian Roberts (AbsoluteDestiny). :P For the full descrption of this video, click here
Title: "Deceptive Passions" Anime: Fushigi Yuugi Format: MPEG Song: "Pretty Girl (The Way)" by Sugarcult Length: 3:23 Size: 52 MB Debuted: 8/8/03 Awards: - Second place in Romance / Sentimental category at Otakon 2003 - Third Place at Shoujocon 2003	This is a story about the harsh sides of love. When you fall in love, is it by your own free will, or does it seem like some kind of outside force is pushing you into it? That’s more or less the story of this video (hence the title, “Deceptive Passions.” It took me FOREVER to think of a decent title…). The main plot of this video is that we see these two girls in a number of relationships, but are they really in love? Are the guys they’re involved with just using them? That’s the main point I wanted to get across. For the full descrption of this video, click here
Title: "Obligatory EVA Trailer" Anime: Neon Genesis Evangelion Format: MPEG Audio: "Tinfins" trailer from Sealab 2021 Length: 1:48 Size: 23 MB Debuted: 6/13/03 Awards: - Best Short Film / Trailer at PortConMaine 2003 - Grand Prize at AWA 9, Expo Contest Note: This video was made by both Meri and VegettoEX	Like many of our music video ideas, this one came to us when we least expected it. Mike and Meri had not made a trailer since "The Professional," made less than a year earlier, and hoped to make a new one at some point this year. Several ideas floated between the two for many months, and, as usual, nothing really clicked. Then, one lazy Sunday evening, Mike, Meri and Andrew "Deluxe" (Mike roommate and star of Meri's "All-Purpose DBZ Music Video") were enjoying some nice "Adult Swim" on Cartoon Network. One of the trio's favorite shows, "Sealab 2021," came on. It was an episode no one in the group had seen before: an "Entertainment Tonight"-type episode, hyping up the summer release of a movie starring the Sealab crew. At the end of the episode, a trailer for the fake movie "Tinfins" finally appeared. We were hooked by the first line: "would you put your brain in a robot body?" Not only was this a tribute to an older "Sealab 2021" episode from the first season, but Meri and Mike seemingly read each other's mind the instant the trailer began: this has to be done to "Evangelion."

Title: "These Girls Are Crazy - 2003 Remake" Anime: Cowboy Bebop Format: MPEG Song: "Boy Crazy" by New Found Glory Length: 3:31 Size: 55 MB Completed: 3/17/03	This is a re-edit of a music video I made in 2001. This video highlights the feminine wackiness that is Faye and Ed from Cowboy Bebop. While most Bebop character-based videos are serious (and that is by no means a bad thing), I wanted to take a lighthearted look at this anime's leading ladies, and how they drive Spike nuts. The first half of the video focuses on Faye (the "beautiful one"), while the second half switches to Ed (the "younger one"). Some parts in this video are a bit of a stretch, such as making it look like Faye thinks men are all about her. Then again... that's not much a stretch. OK, the Ed stuff was a lot harder, but that's part of the fun, making it look like Ed is all about using guys. Even so, I think the result is more or less fun.

Title: "Sweet Soul Brother" Anime: Kareshi Kanojo no Jijyo Format: MPEG Song: "Sweet Soul Brother" by Hideki Naganuma Length: 1:12 Size: 18 MB Debuted: 3/22/03 Note: This video is part of the Jet Set Radio AMV Project. Go download the whole thing!	This video is the first track in the "Jet Set Radio" Anime Music Video Project. Similar to other multi-editor projects, various songs in this megamix have been spliced together and transition from one another into different videos by different editors. This is why the video has such an abrupt end. So, with the name of the song in mind (being Sweet Soul Brother), I had to obviously pick something to go with the theme of being a babed out sweet soul brother daddy pimp kinda guy. My first inclination was to pick an anime with blantant ladies men in them, but I figured, meh, that would be too easy. I realized then that I had the first three DVDs of Kare Kano (or "His and Her Circumstances") lying around doing nothing, and I remembered the two main male characters of Arima and Asaba. Arima is more of the "perfect guy" who can do no wrong, and is oh-so-very clean ut and dreamy. The second male, Asaba, is much more of the self-absorbed, yes-I-know-I'm-sexy type of guy. The two made for a nice clash in this video. The only thing resembling a story in this video is Yukino Miyazawa swooning over Arima, and Asaba making an ass out of himself.

Title: "Redemption" Anime: Rurouni Kenshin Format: MPEG Song: "Angel" Main Title by Darling Violetta Length: 1:00 Size: 15 MB Debuted: 2/14/03 Note: This video was mine and VegettoEX's Katsucon submission.	Fans of "Rurouni Kenshin" will know how tortured of a soul Kenshin is. Back in his days as the "Hitokiri Battousai," he meticulously and effeciently murdered for his government, not thinking about the consequences for those he killed. When he killed the wrong person (Tomoe), he finally began to clearly see exactly what it is he was doing and causing in the world around him. With the coming of the Meiji Restoration, Kenshin gave up his ways, and completely abandoned his role as the "Hitokiri Battousai." Feeling such an incredible deal of remorse for those he killed in the past, Kenshin began to walk down the path of redemption; by saving others, he would atone for the deaths he had caused in his past.

Title: "Has Anyone Seen My Underwear?" Anime: Chobits Format: MPEG Song: "Has Anyone Seen My Underwear" by The Youth Ahead Length: 0:57 Size: 14 MB Completed: 1/10/02	Last year, I started watching the anime and reading the manga of "Chobits." I found it a light and cute and enjoyable show, and I definitely wanted to work with the anime somehow. One of the most memorable and amusing aspects of the series is Chii and the "pantsu" episode (or for that matter, all of the moderate fan service in general). I figured "hey, that could be a fun video, making fun of all the underwear jokes and fan service in Chobits. But that would only 30 seconds funny." 30 seconds funny? Hey, I've got a MiniVid idea on my hands! Story is... Chii's a dumb blonde robot with an apparent inability and/or desire to find and/or wear underwear. Simple, yes, but that's why this is a short video. That idea can only take me so far, ya know? The video starts off with Hideki finding the robot (known as a "Persocom" in the anime) in the trash, and once he brings this scantily clad lass home, he learns that she isn't wearing any panties! After this, Chii goes on her trek around town to find underwear. By the time she has underwear, she doesn't know what to do with them, and well... you'll have to watch the video to find out what happens in the end. :P For the full description of this video, click here.
Title: "Alone in the World" Anime: Trigun Format: MPEG Song: "I'm Just a Kid," by Simple Plan Length: 3:24 Size: 52 MB Debuted: 9/28/02 Awards: - Best Character Profile at AWA 8 - Best Drama/Sentimental at AnimeNext 2002 Note: This video was made by both Meri and VegettoEX	We didn't want to make a "Trigun" video with all the Gung-Ho guns, with lots of action, or with lots of comedy. There's more to "Trigun" than that; there's a very deep side to the character of Vash, something that we really wanted to bring out. The natural flow of the video shows Vash waking up, sitting around, and feeling sorry for himself. It seems like he has no friends, no-one to socialize with, and no-one wants to accept him. Vash finds himself thinking back to the "old times" up on the ship, with Rem and Knives; he's now the child he speaks of. He seems to have friends and is enjoying himself and his life... until the tragic day. Knives begins a rage of destruction, murdering his friends, and leaving him with no-one. The two grow up together, but Vash remains with no-one to turn to, no friends, no human compassion to be found. Vash is back to present day, still sulking to himself, questioning why his life has become what it is, constantly thinking back to the times of the tragedy. Rem still hasn't left his memory completely, but she fades in and out of it, almost as if to tell him that he needs to fill the void in his life with SOMETHING, to find SOMEONE to connect with...

Title: "Smoke: DDR Project 2, track 7" Anime: Rurouni Kenshin Format: MPEG Song: "Smoke," by Mr. Ed Jumps the Gun Length: 3:25 Size: 53 MB Debuted: 9/27/02 Note: This video debuted as part of the DDR2 Project at AWA 8 Note: This video was made by both Meri and VegettoEX	The main joke is... yes... Shishio. He's burned. He makes fire. SMOKE. Har har EL OH EL. Once you get past the cheesy concept, there's actually somewhat of a dramatic story build-up going on, too! The basic idea is more or less what you see in the TV series: Kenshin's enjoying life with his friends, but is called upon to battle against the forces of evil, must bid a temporary farewell and get going with the fight. The early parts of the video have Kenshin's initial meeting with Shishio (we threw him in earlier than what you see in the show to kinda make our own story), then we've got Kenshin having fun (IE - getting drunk) with his friends (and occasionally he dances on top of a ball with an umbrella). We get a drumroll of Kenshin saying good-bye to his friends, Shishio gathering his forces, and FLASH... the battle begins. Kenshin has some friends jump in along the way, but in the end, he must take care of things himself; he's the strongest one... For the full description of this video, click here.
Title: "Paranoia Rebirth" Anime: Ayashi no Ceres Format: MPEG Song: "A Place for My Head," by Linkin Park Length: 3:11 Size: 48.3 MB Debuted: 7/19/02 Awards: - Third Place at Shoujocon 2002	This video was created in the Spring of 2002 as my primary Shoujocon and Otakon music video contest submission. If you would like the quick 'n easy one sentence synopsis of this video, then all you need to know is that basically, this video tells a story of a young man coming to grips with a past life, and goes a little crazy in the process. Technically speaking, this video is very traditional and simple. This video is highly edit-intensive, but this was mostly for me to learn and practice making my timing a little more tight, and to keep the video visually interesting. This video won 3rd place at Shoujocon '02, and will appear at Otakon. To read the full description of this video (and I highly recommend you do, if you want to know what this video is all about), then click here.
Title: "The Professional" Trailer Anime: Cowboy Bebop Format: MPEG Audio: "Leon: The Professional" movie trailer Length: 2:28 Size: 34.5 MB Completed: 5/22/02 Note: This video was made by both Meri and VegettoEX	Created on the first weekend of our summer 2002 vacation, this Cowboy Bebop movie trailer was a joint creation made by Meri and Mike "VegettoEX" LaBrie. This is an action/comedy/drama (if that makes any sense) trailer, that is by far our best video work together yet. The basic premise: Leon (played by Spike) is a hitman who takes a young girl under his wing so that she can avenge her family's death. That's more or less it! We hope you like this thing, cuz we had tons of fun editing it. To read the full, long description of this video (and I really hope you do, cuz it's a fun read, hehe), please click here.
Title: "Liberation of Memories Past" Anime: Utena movie: Adolescence Mokushiroku Format: MPEG Song: "Castles in the Sky," by Ian van Dahl Length: 3:53 Size: 60 MB Completed: 3/6/02 Awards: - Best Drama / Romance Megacon 2002	This is by far, my most ambitious video to date. It's also my new favorite, next to "Again" and "Traces of Insanity." Here's the short summary of this video: It focuses on Utena's life, and how she has to deal with overcoming her past, and must venture off into her future, with the help of the mysterious girl, Anthy. Not only is this video the most intense edit-heavy video I've made so far, but it's also rather weird. I really hope you like it! I worked very hard on this (spent about 3 months on it), and I'm very proud of this it. This video appeared at Katsucon 8, and won "Best Drama/Romance" at the Megacon music video contest. To read the long, full description of this video, please click here.
Title: "When It's Only Me and the Music" Anime: Kimagure Orange Road movie Format: MPEG Song: "When It's Only Me," by Jem and the Holograms Length: 1:44 Size: 26 MB Completed: 11/13/01	I used the Kimagure Orange Road movie for this music video, and a song from an 80s cartoon show, Jem. Odd combination, eh? If you haven't seen KOR before, I really, really recommend it. It will be available on DVD in February, too! Anywho, the video is all about a girl named Hikaru who loves to dance and is trying out for a musical audition. Her best friend Madoka is also in the video, shown playing the piano, as she gives mental support for her friend. That's a rather simplified descrption of the video, so if you'd like to get more in-depth info on this video, click here.
Title: "Wind Outrunning Destiny: Haruka Tenoh" Anime: Sailor Moon S Format: MPEG Song: "The Wind," by Bassic Length: 2:32 Size: 31 MB Completed: 10/11/01	This video is a look into the character of Haruka Tenoh (known as "Amara" in the dub, or, Sailor Uranus), and how she is deeply affected by the destiny that awaits her, and the tough decisions she must face in life. This is a neat lil' character tribute, and I hope you enjoy it. I'm kinda surprised with the end result of this video, in that I didn't initially expect to go into detail over the complexities of the character. I just wanted it to be something fun to work on, at first, but it evolved into something in which, I hope, has a unique story. Oh well, I'll shut up now. If you enjoy Sailor Moon, then I hope you like this thing. To read the full description for this video, click here.
Title: "Carry On Dancing (Version 2.0)" Anime: Sailor Moon R movie Format: MPEG Song: "Carry On Dancing," by Savage Garden Length: 2:32 Size: 42 MB Completed: 9/28/01	Since this is a remake of a video found on the lower part of this page, there's not much to say about it. This is based on the Sailor Moon R movie, and tells the story of the central characters of Usagi, Fiore, and Mamoru. This version sports super high quality, and more solid and clean editing. This was one of my submissions for Nekocon '01.
Title: "Chick Magnet" Anime: Boys Be Format: MPEG Song: "Chick Magnet," by MXPX Length: 2:41 Size: 33 MB Completed: 9/15/01	Ever heard of the anime "Boys Be"? Didn't think so. -_- Well, it's a very fun, cute, and hormonal anime, that ended just last year in Japan. Here's the basic story of the video: it revolves around three horny high school boys, who spend their time checking out, hitting on, and trying to impress girls. They fail. LOTS of times. Hilarity ensues. After being rejected on numberous occasions, and making general asses out of themselves, the guys finally find romance in the end!!! Awww, how cute. To read my full description of this video, click here. Feel free to tell me what ya think of this video.
not available, see Version 2 Title: "These Girls Are Crazy (Spike's Valuable Life Lessons)" Anime: Cowboy Bebop Format: MPEG Song: "Boy Crazy," by New Found Glory Length: 3:30 Size: MPEG- 44 MB Completed: 8/22/01	Since the only Cowboy Bebop music videos I've ever seen have been serious, I knew I wanted to make a fun one! It's a story narrated by Spike, all about the crazy women in his life. If you're familiar with the series, who know who they are. If you haven't seen Bebop, check this out anyway. Originally, I wanted this vid to be just about my fave gal in the series, Ed. But, it turned into something more than that. Anyway, I really love how this one turned out. To read my extended description of this video, click here. Enjoy! This video was one of my submissions for Nekocon '01.
Title: "Again" Anime: Fushigi Yuugi Format: MPEG Song: "Again," by Lenny Kravitz Length: 3:43 Size: 46 MB Completed: 5/21/01 Awards: - Second Place at Shoujocon 2001	Here is my final version of "Again". It won second place at Shoujocon, and will be shown at Otakon 2001. This video is all about the love triangle between Miaka, Tamahome, and Hotohori from "Fushigi Yuugi." In the end, she ends up with one guy...and it sucks to be the rejected one! This is probably my favorite music video that I've made. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! What's been modified: the entire instumental portion is now an action sequence, and what used to be in the instrumental part is now at the end. There are also some other minor modifications.
Title: "Come With Me (Version 2.0)" Anime: various Format: RealVideo Song: "Come With Me," by Puff Daddy Length: 5:02 Size: 13 MB Completed: 3/5/01	This is a remake of a video I made during over winter break in 1998. The first version was made using 2 VCRs, but for this version, I re-made it using the computer. The concept of this video is nutty violence! One would think I was a very angry little girl considering the amount of violence in this video. Basically, I wanted to make a really action-packed video that I myself would enjoy watching, and would feel good enough to show my friends. If I remember correctly, I think I even had a few hints of timing in this one, and my first few instances of actual dramatic moments, in terms of lyric-matching. This video contains scenes from Dragonball Z, Ranma 1/2, Fushigi Yuugi, Sailor Moon, Slayers, Magic Knight Rayearth, and Tenchi Muyo.
not available, see Version 2 Title: "Carry On Dancing" Anime: Sailor Moon R movie Format: RealVideo Song: "Carry On Dancing," by Savage Garden Length: 3:46 Size: 12.2 MB Completed: Early '01	This is a somewhat serious Sailor Moon video based on the lovely Sailor Moon R movie. My idea was to try to tell the story of the movie in under 4 minutes, hehe. The quality is astounding, even in the low-quality version. It's probably due to the fact that I used DVD clips. ^_^ I loved this video. It just flows very well, and I'm pleased with the final result! Thanks, VegettoEX, for letting me use your DVD.
Title: "Faded" Anime: Sailor Moon Stars Format: MPEG Song: "Faded," by Soul Decision Length: 1:15 Size: 19 MB Completed: 1/8/01	This was my very first Sailor Moon music video. :) I always disliked Mamoru. Thought he was a stupid pansy. So when Seiya came along in Sailor Stars and swept Usagi off her feet, I just couldn't get enough of it! I then made a quickie music video to the awkward relationship between Usagi and Seiya. The video basically revolves around Seiya's attempts to make Usagi his. There's really only one part in the video that I love: the music scene in the beginning of the Three Lights playing, and the trio moving to the music. I thought that was very spiffy editing/timing on my part. Ahh, how easily amused I was! Sadly, Sailor Stars fansubs were used in the creation of this video. Due to the bad video quality, and abundance of subtitles to work around, I didn't have much footage to work with. Therefore, I had to cut the song down to 1:15. :P
not available Title: "Adolescence Apocolypse " Anime: Utena movie: Adolescence Mokushiroku Format: RealVideo Song: "Can I Have This Kiss Forever" by Enrique Iglesias and whitney Houston Length: 3:56 Size: 4.4 MB Completed: 7/25/00	Head on the heels of my Utena TV series is my first music video based on the Utena Movie: Adolescence Mokushiroku (hence the title of my video, "Adolscence Apocolypse"). At this time in my life, my obsession with all things Utena was at its highest. I just couldn't get enough of this show! So I decided to make a quickie music video using movie footage to a sappy popular love song of the day. I think I seriously whipped this thing up in 2-3 hours, because this thing is extremely unimpressive. Like most newbie Utena movie AMVs, this fits the standard very well. Story's about Utena and Anthy... use the roses dance scene, use the big car finale, open with a very "Bachelorette" feel. Blah! So boring, it's just like all the other Utena videos! As you can see, I don't like this one very much, and I don't even remember making it in the first place... :P
Title: "Simply Irresistable- Women of Anime" Anime: various Format: RealVideo Song: "Simple Irresistable," by Robert Palmer Length: 4:10 Size: 6.8 MB Completed: 7/00	I made this music video using the 2-VCR method, which is something I hadn't done since 1998. This was one of two submissions for the first ver Shoujocon music video contest back in 2000. However, they did not accept this video because "even though it's about girls, it doesn't use all shoujo anime." Whatever. Hey, at least I can say due to this video, they had to change the rules! Muwahaha, so evil. Anywho, I made this video oh a whim during my summer vacation of 2000. I had made another video and sent it to Shoujocon ("The Animal Song" to Utena), but I didn't feel too confident about it, so I made this "tribute to anime girls" in addition to my other submission. I figured, hey, this is a girls' convention, why not show girl power? But I guess this video wasn't girly enough for the con. :P As a tribute video, this one doesn't have much of a point to it. It shows cool shows of various girls from a few series, looking hot/powerful/etc. That's more or less. Had I more time, I think this might have turned out decently, because I think this is an overall cute video. However, due to deadlines and bad source footage, this one is kinda ugly. That, and I made it using the two-VCR method.
Title: "Space Cowboy" Anime: Gundam Wing Format: RealVideo Song: *"Space Cowboy," by NSYNC Length: 4:00 Size: 6.7 MB Completed: 3/31/00**	Whoa, amazing, my first non-DBZ music video since 1998! Cool! Too bad this one is ultra-cheesy. :P At this point in my life, I was heavily into Gundam Wing (which amuses me to no end because now I think that series is complete garbage). In my original description for this video, I wrote: "After being obsessed with the show for merely 3 weeks, I figured it was time to make a music vid for it. And this is the PERFECT song for GW, too! It's so...spacey! This vid is more or less an excuse for random mecha violence. =)" God, I can't believe I was such a fan-girl newbie even nearly 3 years ago!!! How much a body changes.... Like the above description says, this really is a random action video, with a few bits of silly timing and lip syncing attempts in it. However, I did have some cute lyric matching going on, such as: * "Just strap on a suit and get inside" / Quatre looks longingly at his Gundam * "cuz up in outer space there's no gravity to fall" / Wu fei floating in anti-gravity in a ship somewhere So yeah, that's about it. Another random hunk of junk made by me as a youngun. :D
not available Title: "Nasty Boys: The Men of Anime" Anime: various Format: RealVideo Song: "Nasty Boys," by Janet Jackson Length: 4:08 Size: 6.7 MB Completed: Summer '98	This was my second attempt at making a music video, using the 2-VCR method. And, this is also my first music video to have something resembling a story. It's mostly self-indulgent fun, since the video featured, at the time, some of my main leading men of anime blowing junk up and looking hot. I plan on remaking this video some day, hopefully, since I always liked it, and is stupid good fun. Oh yeah, it's also my first try at lip syncing. Scary! The jokes in the video are all based off the lyrics in the song. Janet Jackson singing about nasty men, and the bad things they do. I tried to fit scenes that would match what she was singing about. I think I might have done this, but other times, I just got lazy and added scenes of random guys instead. Anywho, this video features my favorite "bad boys" of anime, like a LOT of Vegeta, some Ranma 1/2 guys, the men from Fushigi Yuugi, Sailor Moon villians, and more!
