I swear I don't want this {Bokurano AMV/MMV}

Spoilers, naturally.

My (technically) first Bokurano video, and man, was it a challenge! I first heard the song at Anime Central back in May during the AMV contest, and I fell in love with it. When I started listening to it, I realized it fit Ushiro and Machi extremely well, especially the last lyrical section. Despite the fact that I don't entirely ship the couple as much as I used to, I decided to make the video.

Which resulted in a lot of photoshop work. A lot. This is the most technical video I've made, I think, with less of an emphasis on effects and more of an emphasis on timing and tone. I want to do more Bokurano videos in the future, but probably ones that focus on more characters, or at least ones that are with couples I ship more (which is hard, because they are obscure).

At the link below is a very very long version of commentary for the video and for my choices, perhaps me waxing philosophical and getting too artsy. Regardless, I encourage you to look over it if you are confused by any choices of scenes or are interested. If you do, please read it AFTER THE VIDEO.

Most fanart used in this video was from pixiv.net or the NaruBoku BBS. A quick google will take you to either. Some was created by friends and therefore cannot be easily located. I drew nothing myself.

Programs:

Vegas Movie Studio Premium 9.0
GIMP 2.0
Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0

I disclaim all video and audio in this video. I edited this purely for entertainment sake and am not receiving any profit from its creation. The anime and audio in it belong to their original creators.

Thank you so much for this! There was really need for JunxYouko on Youtube. I love this pairing and you did a great job on this vid. I demand MORE XD

@NekotsuChan Thanks so much for the comment! Since I don't quite ship it much anymore, I likely won't do much JunxYouko...but I PROMISE more Bokurano in the future!

Nice video. It's hard to find good Bokurano AMVs. :) Thanks for making this.

[DragonNinja8]

@riddlepanda Thank you very much. :) I'm glad someone watched it, besides the people I linked it to. Bokurano's a small fandom, but I'm proud to make any contributions I can.

@DragonNinja8

I hope you make more, you seem to have a good grasp of the series.

Bokurano is one of my favorite anime/manga series, I hope to make a tribute of my own soon too.

The more I watch this video the more I enjoy it. :) It's so bittersweet.

[DragonNinja8]

@riddlepanda I probably will, once I get more inspirations. I have a few ideas, but this one took so much photoshop that I'd rather not look at the program for a long time. XD

I'd love to watch anything you make, Bokurano needs more tributes! It's probably my favorite anything. :)

I'm glad you like it! I designed it to be multi-layered, so I was hoping people would like more after viewing more than once. Good to see that prediction's not falling flat.
