Raggedstar - Arashi No Yoru Ni - My Funny Friend And Me


Early B-day prezzie for BAkos of Youtube.

This is a practice AMV to test out Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for Windows Vista (as you can tell from some of the effects I've never used. Woo, effect abuse!!). Until I'm forced to leave 2.1 on XP, then I'll continue to use it. Doing AMVs on a laptop is awkward and although it was an angel through most of the eding process, it really messed with me during saving. Blarg. The timing was messed because WMM shifted the timing by about a second (which is HUGE in editing terms), so I had to shift the audio file. This resulted in some timing mishaps, but nothing too deadly.

Anyways, my first (and only? Hard to find good songs with this anime) AMV to the adorable anime movie, Arashi No Yoru Ni (also called On A Stormy Night, or just Stormy Night). I got it for my birthday on DVD. It's a story about a wolf (Gav/Gabu) and a goat (Mei) that become friends, and run away to a far away forest where they can be away from their species (naturally the goat herd got pissed at Mei and the wolf pack got EXTREMELY pissed at Gabu with their friendships).

This song works extremely well and it practically made itself. This song is from The Emporer's New Groove about Kuzco and Pacha's unusual "against all odds" friendship, so why not apply it to a wolf and a goat's? The AMV is aimed at Mei telling the story.

Oh, and I think this may be AMV #30, and on April 29, it should be my 2 year mark for AMV making.
