This is the same song that was used in SH027, but this was the video it was originally assigned to. This was an idea down near the bottom of the to-do list at the time, but it got pulled up as a result of the capturecardpocalypse mentioned earlier. Depending on perspective, it can be a good thing to do neat little videos like this one that don't have much in the way of ambition; at this point, it was kind of a force due to a lack of other ideas. Between SH033 and demo 3, there's a fair amount that can be contested on the logic of "well, maybe not making AMVs would have been an acceptable option", but I didn't see it that way at the time, and these videos turned out getting made.

As alluded to on SH020, this was the first occasion on which I did anything that could be meaningfully described as "effects" in a SH video, and it still wouldn't be recognized by the modern AMV community as such. And even though I had the pieces in place -- Virtual Dub process, rough-drafting established -- I still wasted a lot of time rendering through whole episodes on an antediluvian machine....AND still hadn't caught the problem that fucked up SH017 and would cause significant picture damage to a lot of demo 2. The root cause of the problem in question does not make a whole lot of sense, but I should have learned by now that expecting Dazzle to make a whole lot of sense as an editing environment was not a winning proposition.
