True the focus went off being directly about River (hence I had said it was only "mostly" about her), but it was an indirect focus on her, it was her past, her secret, her battle. How the crew suffered and fought for her. So in a way it was still about her.
Ah, I stand corrected :) All that being said, the space battle did totally rock with that music ;p

And could you recomend some good video editing software? Preferably on the affordable side, I have very little extra cash.
Thanks :)
Well, I use Windows Movie Maker, which is as basic as you can get, if you have Windows 2000 or better you have a version of it under "accessories". If you have XP with Service Pack 2, you have Movie Maker 2, which holds a couple of effects you can use as well ;)

Thanks MissKitten. 
I didn't know that. I neve bother with searching through all the accessories.
*edit*
I just checked everything I could find under accessories, and all programs. We don't appear to have it. I know we have XP but still no movie maker.

Excellent video! All the comments by the previous browncoats are spot on--you have awesome action sequences, and they are very well synchronized with the music. I watched it over and over again, it was so good.
My only quibble--and there are always quibbles, no matter how good something is! I know this because I am a writer and get and give feedback from a writing group--is along the lines of what Nuclearday was saying, but maybe slightly different. I feel a little disoriented at the end where River is shown in the bright daylight on Miranda, upset by the souls of the people who are not doing anything, just lying down. This comes at a point in the video after the battle to get to the surface to transmit the hologram, so it loses some continuity that way. Of course I have no idea how it would fit in musically to put it earlier in the video, but it seems to be a step backward for River, who has already kicked a$$ and shed a lot of her academy-induced neuroses, and is now back to "getting all helpless".
Just my 2c--this is an awesome video in spite of my dumb little quibble and I think you should seriously consider sending it to Gackt. Maybe they could get permission from Universal/Fox to use the footage and make it their video!

Thank you. Well the last sequence I wanted to have River crying for redemption (just as Gackt sings "redemption") as she feels guilt over how people has suffered in order to protect her, fight for her. The miranda sequence is the closest I got to a visualization of that. So it was more the visiual aspect I brought it in, not story-wise... lol

Well Gackt already have two official videos for this song. The music video and an adverticing for a game, which I can't remember the name of, but if I remember correctly it's kinda like Final Fantacy, only not exactly. But I thank you for the compliment ;)

I haven't watched the vid yet, I'm just making sure I don't lose this page for when I come to give some comments.
However, I love the song and I love River - how can it go wrong?
EDIT
Oh. My. God. That was awesome. Thanks for sharing that, misskitten.
