• Comments: A love story featuring high school students Noboru (way-depressed male) and Mikako (the lovely female). One has made the decision to fight a war in outer space, against creatures who are aggressive, yet they have similar emotions to humans. As time goes on, will the love between these two fade away? Or will their memories carry them toward the future...
  
  Yup, that's the gist of the story behind Ballad For Two. This project is the reason I haven't really made anything new these last couple of months, as editing spanned across multiple upon multiple sessions. :P The anime/music combination seemed too good to pass up, so I became addicted to the editing aspect of it. I'll admit the song itself is probably overused, sounds stupid (to put it bluntly), it's mostly for female fans who saw City of Angels, etc., but it didn't really mattered when I came up with this vid. Effects include flashes, fades, brightness tweaks, rapid action stills, film noise, even more rapid action stills + fades, and some other stuff.. No surprise here I guess, I just wanted to keep things interesting and exciting when the scenes called for it. ;) I think this video demonstrates my knack for syncing lots of beats.. Perhaps when it isn't even needed, which I regret doing sometimes. Anywho, grab some snacks, sit back, and enjoy the ride. :)
  
  Thanks to all of the beta testers whom, to most, I incessantly nagged over and over: Dcdeveloperx, SSJVegita0609, Xnod, TrunksOtaku, Koop, SnhKnives, Metro, Aqua, Kalium, Kham, Requiett, Rob Kenchu, and MoonlightSoldier.
