Notes:
This is the very first Music Video I ever created. I've worked with Adobe Premiere in the past before, using it to create the footage for the AnimeDog interviews, so I had a basic understanding of how to edit footage together.

My friend Mike Hayes had won a computer from a Video Game Conference. A really impressive machine. He came to me with the idea for this video. The two of us, and another friend of ours, Al Boyce, all got involved.

Originally, I had no idea how this video was ever going to work, but I didn't care, I just wanted to make a music video. We used Dazzle which was capturing everything at 320X240, which is why the video looks so lossy and pretty bad when you enlarge it.

Anyways, it was a lot of fun making this video, I loved the Gummi Bears theme song. The response to this video was 'You're going to hell'. To which the three of us grinned from ear to ear and just nodded our heads. A few of our friends were big time Gundam fanatics, they off course just shook their heads.

At the premiere at the Rutgers University anime club, I was nervous, first time a video I created would be shown to a bunch of people. They all laughed and smiled, it was then I had positive thoughts about it.

At Otakon 2002, Hayes, Al, and myself were able to see the first viewing of the overflow. The crowd enjoyed it, I feared the worst and there was an applause. I can see why we didn't make the Otakon cut, there were other good videos out there, and the quality was alot better than ours.

Friends of ours saw the second viewing of the Overflow tape and they proceeded to say that it got a good ovation too. I'm glad people enjoyed the video. Eventually I'll get back to it, and make a cleaner, better version of it.
