Here Without You - Sirius/Hermione

Note: Second Place in acciovids' April/May 2008 Challenge! [Read First Please!] Alright! I finally finished the video! Yay! (Although, as you'll see in the credits, it was actually completed around a week ago, but technical difficulties - a.k.a. Sony Vegas and my computer absolutely hated me - kept me from being able to render it completely. This one still had to be rendered in parts and then combined as one vid in WMM.) Thanks so very much to everyone who offered suggestions on how to fix that problem! And now, here's the video that, not only am I very proud of, but that is also a major experimentation for me, with its effects, genre, pairing, everything. Oh, and the video is complete with its full storyline, just like I promised on the preview. ~~ Storyline: Alright, basically, the storyline can be told through the lyrics of the song, but here's a bit of a run-down of it, regardless. In short, Sirius and Hermione are in a relationship. The time-frame is mainly dealing with OotP, and Sirius is "here" (at Grimmauld Place) "without" Hermione throughout the main course of the year. She's constantly on his mind (in his thoughts, in his dreams, etc.), but they're physically separated by "all the miles" and distance. As such, the majority of the video is told mainly in Sirius's point of view, save for near the end. "And when the last one falls" is in regards to Sirius's death beyond the Veil, and from then on, the video is mainly from Hermione's point of view. Especially in regards to the last time that the chorus of the song plays: -How it's hard to accept that Sirius is gone -How she's constantly thinking/dreaming about him -How, whenever she's in Grimmauld Place herself (like, around DH time?), she's "without" Sirius But, since I like good endings, the end of the video - "And tonight, girl, it's only you and me" - has a sense of that we'll-be-together-again feeling for both Sirius and Hermione. ~~ Music: "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down Programs: Windows Movie Maker, Sony Vegas 6.0 & 8.0 Link to first image: http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d61...

But I liked it! Enjoy! ~Megan
