• Comments: Here it is^^
  
  First of all, this is my second AnimeMusicVideo, and it is been my most effort one, within the other made with my fiancè. I can't talk a lot about how I got the idea, sadly mine it is not a very original concept, but I have the opinion that the originality is not the thing that make great a video ;P So.. I actually started to do this video as a gift for my boyfriend, michele, and my general work time is been huge, something like 6/7 months. Anyway, I actually didn't worked all that time, there are been months where I didn't touch premiere. And here it is my software usage: I used Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects for this video, that makes it my first attempt to this program. Anyway I want to make clear one thing that is important to me, I actually am an anti-effects creator, I don't like to overwhelm a video of digital effects, those are not the things that add beautifulness to a video, the most important thing is how to use them, so in this I'm against the effects. It is been also for this that my effort is been along this amount of time, more than my busy life, I really thought a lot about this creation. Being a gift for my boyfriend, and adding my maniac sense of perfection, I remastered and re-edited a lot of parts of the video, working on them days, I wanted the video to be perfect and I reached the result. I always started a lot of works, without even reach half of them, in this project the thing were not going that different, I actually thought to give up a lot of times, buy I kept my effort on. I tried to synch all well, but the most important thing of the video is not the synch, and you all will notice that, I didn't focuse my attention to the beats, the drums and things like that, my idea was different and I kept that without lose my plan, the thing that took from me the most effort was the lyric synch. There is a huge work behind that, I searched very accurately the clips, choosing them no matter how much time I would have used to search them, it is also for this that I reached a so long edit time, this video is been rewatched thousands of time. The video, anyway, talk obvisiously about a love story, this time between Naruto and Sakura, I didn't do what many other videos that I seen have done, I actually didn't took clips from a particular time of the anime, but I personally created my personal story using a huge footage from all the serie, here you will see Naruto, with his deep love for Sakura, and with his demon inside himself, in a deep conflict within him.. And this terrible, impossible love. So there is a kinda dramatic factor in this video, but don't worry, nothing that will give problems to you for the lunch.^^ In the video, appears only this two characters, and noone more, this is also a particular thing that kept my nervs near the explosion, and I used also for this After Effects, that helped me to reach this result. Another big make of effort is been the lip synch, making it with extremee effort, you will see it trought more or less the 50% of the video. This because of my story plan, you'll can take a look at that ;) The lip synch actually had a strong relation with every clip and many times I am been able to create a good connection with After Effects, I remember to you all that I used these two programs actually with a usage of effects that is been worth a lot of effort, I didn't overwhelmed anything, because I would hate it. I sincerely made this video with the heart, and I'm a girl, this could be noticed ^_^ When I finished the video, I also discovered that is been terrible do the presentation and the credits, as I wanted also them to be perfects, I used a part of the fourth ending of the anime and I had to quit all the kanjis (subtitles) here, but I'm pretty proud of the result. So, these are my generals comments on the video, the rest is up to you ;D
  
  The compression is been another pain, I actually found in fron of me a great wall, I had to compress a real amv for the first time.. For this I needed the help of my boyfriend but now I'm mastering it. There are not much comments that I can write on this page, and I think all of you will be absolutely euphoric for this xP Anyway^^ As I said before the lyric synch work is been huge and it is the soul of the video, so I will pleasurily put here the lyrics of the song ;P Enjoy and tell me what you think of my work please!^_^
  
  **ENGLISH LYRICS**
  
  I'm not a perfect person
  There's many things I wish I didn't do
  
  But I continue learning
  I never meant to do those things to you
  And so I have to say before I go
  That I just want you to know
  
  I've found a reason for me
  To change who I used to be
  A reason to start over new
  And the reason is you
  
  I'm sorry that I hurt you
  It's something I must live with everyday
  And all the pain I put you through
  I wish that I could take it all away
  And be the one who catches all your tears
  Thats why I need you to hear
  
  I've found a reason for me
  To change who I used to be
  A reason to start over new
  And the reason is You [x4]
  
  I'm not a perfect person
  I never meant to do those things to you
  And so I have to say before I go
  That I just want you to know
  
  I've found a reason for me
  To change who I used to be
  A reason to start over new
  And the reason is you
  
  I've found a reason to show
  A side of me you didn't know
  A reason for all that I do
  And the reason is you
  
  
  **SPANISH LYRICS**
  
  No soy una persona perfecta
  Hay muchas cosas que me gustaría no hacer
  Pero continúo aprendiendo
  Nunca pretendí hacerte esas cosas
  Y así tengo que decir antes de irme
  Que solo quiero que lo sepas
  
  He encontrado un motivo para mí
  Para cambiar quien solía ser
  Un motivo para empezar de nuevo
  y el motivo eres tú
  
  Siento haberte hecho daño
  Es algo con lo que debo vivir todos los días
  Y todo el dolor por el que te he hecho pasar
  Desearía poder hacerlo desaparecer
  Y ser el que tome todas tus lágrimas
  Por eso necesito que oigas
  
  He encontrado un motivo para mí
  Para cambiar quien solía ser
  Un motivo para empezar de nuevo
  y el motivo eres tú [x4]
  
  No soy una persona perfecta
  Nunca pretendí hacerte esas cosas
  Y así tengo que decir antes de irme
  Que solo quiero que lo sepas
  
  He encontrado un motivo para mí
  Para cambiar quien solía ser
  Un motivo para empezar de nuevo
  y el motivo eres tú
  
  He encontrado un motivo para mostrar
  una parte de mí que no conocía
  Un motivo para todo lo que hago
  Y el motivo eres tú
  
  
  Thanks to :
