It wasn't too difficult to pick a song either--I've been dying to use this song by the awesome Christian rock band, Thousand Foot Krutch. Naruto was the only anime I'd seen that had the right amount of action that I thought this song needed. The video centers around Naruto and Sasuke, and their friendship/rivalry. I ended up putting a lot more work into this project than I'd planned to at first. What ended up taking a lot of time was removing credits from some of the opening scenes I used--I ended up painting them out frame-by-frame in Photoshop, which was a huge pain... But thankfully, I had raws for most of the episodes, so I didn't have to worry about subtitles too much. I also used Photoshop for some more fun stuff, like for tinting some eyes and removing backgrounds. Lyrics: If you're like us, calling all riders Roll up beside us, no place to hide us All freedom fighters, let's unite us Switch on your nitrous and? let's? go... Destination for navigation Man up ya stations, feel the sensation Surround invasion with communication Move quick, we might avoid contamination Down, here comes the sound Everyone pound your feet to this Phenomenon Now, let's make it loud Let's show ?em all how you move to this Phenomenon Roll, open your soul Maybe lose control inside of this Phenomenon Just let yourself go And let everyone know you move to this Phenomenon Don't let these spiders crawl up beside us They want to bite us, inject the virus Raise up your lighters, praise to the Righteous We need You to guide us Get prepared to go! Can't take it anymore, shake until we move the floor What are we waiting for? Let's? go? I'm tired of being ordinary, don't care if there's people staring I'll rely on Your strength to carry me on I'm not invisible like you Next time things get a little messed up I'll shine, but I'll never be see-through I'm fine just trying to wake the rest up You move to this Phenomenon You move to this Phenomenon --------------------------------------- Technical stuff: LOCAL link Video Codec: XviD (DivX compatible) **DOWNLOAD ONE OF THESE CODECS IF YOU CAN'T SEE THE VIDEO** Audio Codec: Lame mp3 --------------------------------------- DIRECT link: Requires VLC Media Player to play.
