Credits and Acknowledgements: Thank you coffee_and_ink for brainstorming the vid with me and the narrative beta, lierdumoa for listening to me rant and rant and rant some more about this vid and for beatwhoring beta for me, thank you boniblithe for giving me a supplementary beta of it, thank you karose for looking it over and chatting about Saiyuki with me loooooong into the morning and for reminding me of why I was making this along with louiselux, misstressrenet, and ciceqi who were all lovely and rambled about why they loved Saiyuki when I needed it most. Thank you absolut3destiny for introducing me to avi-synth and post processing without which this would have been a granulated mess. In addition, much thanks must be given to coffee_and_ink, ciceqi, and louiselux for hooking me up with some episodes ::blows kisses:: this vid literally couldn't have existed without you!


I Don't Know What I Can Save You From by Kings of Conscience

<sub>You called me after midnight
Must have been three years since we last spoke
I slowly tried to bring back
The image of your face from the memories so old
I tried so hard to follow
But didn't catch the half of what had gone wrong
Said "I don't know what I can save you from"
I don't know what I can save you from

I asked you to come over, and within half an hour
You were at my door
I had never really known you
But I realized that the one you were before
Had changed into somebody
for whom I wouldn't mind to put the kettle on
Still, I don't know what I can save you from
I don't know what I can save you from</sub>


Blarg: I'm calling this done because the thought of working on this any more than I already have is making me want to stop vidding. Frankly this could be improved, and I need to integrate the footage that louiselux was a total rocking babe to supplied me with, but at this point in time and with my other commitments, I don't have the time to work on this. Even more important, I desperately needed the space on my laptop to work on RL projects and my VVC auction vid.

This is, if anything, THE vid that I WILL remaster, if for nothing but to stop me from cringing in dismay.

[edit] alee_gothphyle made Gojyo icons from screencaps from my vid!

awwwwwww! ::hugs you:: I'm glad the vid worked for you! And it's never too late to join the Saiyuki love train. =) your fb brightened my day.

Well, it's good to know that the Saiyuki Love Train welcomes all stragglers -- I'd hate to think how busy those four would be if they had to fight off all the lagging, desperate fangirrls as well as those pesky youkkai assassins... heh.

Thank you again for the vid: I think I shall go and watch it again.

BTW, your icon? HA! :D

=D thanks! I made it from a quote I saw on some other icons, take if you like!
