YOU ARE LOVED [AnimeNext 2009 Winner - Best Sentimental]

Описание: *PLEASE READ! Important!*
YouTube messed up my video sync a little. It comes out looking kind of jumpy and choppy. It's also slightly off-sync at some parts. I tried many formats for uploading, but YouTube doesn't like me very much. Please download my video from the link below to view it properly. (Using the HQ option for some reason seems to help the jumpiness slightly, so please press HQ if you can't download.)

ABOUT THE AMV

This AMV is inspired by the story of Ryan Patrick Halligan (link below).

You Are Loved will always be a special video to me because for the first time for me, the primary inspiration to make this video came from a person's real-life experience rather than the usual "This anime kind of fits this song" or "This song suits this anime!" There are a lot of feelings behind it.

Date Completed: March 7, 2009
Time Spent Editing Final Draft: Span of two months, About 50-60 hours
Time Spent Pre-processing ~ About 30 hours
Programs Used for Editing: Sony Vegas 6.0, Photoshop 6.0
Other Programs: DVD Decrypter, Exact Audio Copy, DGIndex, AviSynth, VirtualDubMod, Zarx264GUI, BeSweet GUI
