Senshi On Springer

Making the video was quite an ordeal... If I remember the file timestamps correctly, I first started timing in mid-January 2000. Later, after borrowing Sailor Moon tapes from Scott, I got the first draft of the video done in late May. I went through 12 episodes of Springer in one night! I tried to get the titles in the lower left to match what was going on in the song, but one of the episodes was completely useless: "We're in our 70's and still sleeping around!" I then entered the video at a number of summer cons, fully expecting it to be rejected from at least one due to the amount of live-action content. The only thing I encountered was that Anime North said it couldn't take first place due to the live-action content. (They've added a new entry category for 2001, heh heh) After Otakon in August, there was pressure to get the video on the web, but work deadlines were looming, and I wanted to make some final edits. I had recently found some filters to improve video, and running them over the video clips took time. I eventually got the video on the web in late November. I used the filters because a good chunk of my source material was recorded in EP mode. I don't advocate using footage like this, but the filters helped considerably. At any rate, in the end Scott said the video turned out better than he imagined, so that was good.
