Thank yous: To counteragent, giandujakiss, and laurashapiro (still not her fandom) for beta, and geekturnedvamp, nestra, and oyceter for cheerleading.

Feedback: I would love any feedback, positive or negative, but I may be slow in replying. Sorry!


Notes and additional thank yous
sockkpuppett is fond of saying that vidding is like trying to write a story entirely out of sentences you cut out of other stories. I think making your first vid is like trying to write a story entirely out of sentences you cut out of other stories--but first you need to learn the English language. And if you are unwise enough to plan a vid where you need to use After Effects, you will also need to learn some Greek.

So, for helping me learn a new language, I owe additional thanks to:

• astolat and giandujakiss for pushing me into vidding by making it look much, much easier than it is
  
• etothey and nestra for going over beats and measures with me. And then going over them again. And then going over them again.
  
• heresluck for going through half a dozen vids with me and trying to explain what made visual flow work
  
• Everybody who answered my confused technical questions
  
• sockkpuppett and feochadn for advice on how to make Premiere crash less often
  

Any grammatical errors or false cognates remaining are, of course, entirely my own.

Lyrics
Belly, "Low Red Moon" (edited)
so, what, you think this is usual?
strange moon
strange land
strange man

low red moon
how can you sleep like a baby?
sleep like a baby?
when you shine so different on another
you shine different on another

i look up and i see
the raising of an old hope
brave and tattered
a shining knight with shining eyes
he shines around me brightly

so now i say this is beautiful
i think you are strange

low red moon
how can you sleep like a baby?
sleep like a baby?
when you shine so different on another
you shine different on another

strange moon
strange land
strange ...

now i've got strong arms
strong arms for a skinny girl
and i say
he belongs to me
he belongs to me

he's a human bed of roses
