Goodnight (Kanda x Allen AMV)

Sunday, January 10, 2010

I've probably used up half of my life span creating this Anime Music Video. I don't know what's so fascinating about wasting precious time on my terminally unresponsive Windows Movie Maker which, might I add, enjoys giving me some not-so-pleasant surprises but I suppose the song 'Goodnight' by The Birthday Massacre was simply too addictive that I HAD to make a music video out of it. Does that make sense? No? I thought so.



This seemingly short 4 minutes AMV took up... (yes I counted so screw you) approximately 12 hours of my life. Why, you might ask? Because Windows Movie Maker is an emotionally unstable program, that's why! I mean, come on' just let me publish my short music video will ya?

BUT NOOOO... WMM, a stubborn fella he is, disobeyed orders and clashed with my downloaded codec. This incompatibility issue not only impelled me to dedicate 6 hours of my already shortened life span to troubleshooting but also forced me to REMOVE ALL my downloaded WMM effects.

So there ya have it, my effect-less AMV which I spent 12 hours on with nothing but transitional flashes of Kanda and Allen. Curses, Windows Movie Maker! Thou shalt remove you someday!

Aside of my habitual rambling...I've found a new synthrock/Gothic Rock band to obsess over - The Birthday Massacre.



GOODNIGHT

First place on a classroom wall.
Every turn of the face can help to break the fall from a domestic disgrace.
Every rumor displaced is lost and found.

A lack of discipline.
One hand to cut the other.
So unprofessional,
You're not a friend,
You're just a lover.

Nothing exceptional.
This is correctional.

Mirror on the wall.
Frame the picture.
Reflect this kiss to wish us all goodnight.

First day in a victim's chair.
Every surface replaced can help to keep you fair for a corrected gaze.
Every feature displayed will match your crowd.

A loss of innocence.
One hand to wash the other.
Be a perfectionist.
You're nothing if
You're just another.

Something material.
This isn't personal.

Mirror on the wall.
Frame the picture.
Reflect this kiss to wish us all goodnight.

We're all dancing to the same sad song.
And we're not sleeping, but it won't take long.

Illicit conviction.
Confessions incomplete.
Correction.
Submissive restriction.
Instructions will repeat.
Direction.

Mirror on the wall.
Frame the picture.
Reflect this kiss to wish us all goodnight.
