This project officially began January 11, 2008.
Originally I was just going to make a fanmix, but that had been done too many times. I love AMVs and I always wanted to try making some. This is just what I needed to finally get off my lazy ass and do it. ^^;;
Why Yuugiou? Even if I am slow sometimes to admit it, I owe every creative fiber in my body to Yuugiou. Only in middle school at the time it was the first anime I ever really got in to. My love for writing came from fan fiction and role playing back in the day.
On song choice: A good song can tell a story just as well as the written word. As an author I love that concept. I see it as a challenge to get the AMV to fit as closely as possible with artist's original meaning behind the song. This is because I'm tired of seeing Seto tributes to "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" that song is made to make fun of people like Kaiba or "It's My Life" set to clips of Atemu, the spirit never had his own life, he always shared an identity with Yuugi, therefore it possibly couldn't have been his life. I want the song to be true to the character / pairing and that's that.
I really hope you all enjoy this project half as much as I do.
