Notes: This is not a new vid. I made it between December 2010 and March 2011, in collaboration with my spouseechan. It was a Christmas present (ultimately belated) for my sister, whose favorite movie of all time is Tank Girl.
This was an incredibly difficult vid to make. I had just moved to Los Angeles and my laptop crashed. I had it fixed, but Final Cut no longer recognized my hardware and asked for the license key (which was in a box in Phoenix still). So I had to download the thirty day free trial of Premiere, a program which barely worked on my laptop. I started the vid there, but was struggling (partially with the slowness of the program, partially with the new workflow, but mostly with the realization that I wasn't a big fan of Tank Girl). Thankfully, echan came in and laid down the basic structure of the vid. Eventually the thirty day trial expired and I was able to get Final Cut up and running again, so I had to lay down an export of my Premiere project into Final Cut and then tweaked and poked at it until it was in final form.
The end result is not something I'm completely satisfied with (even though my sister adores it), so I held off on releasing it properly (it does show up on the 2011 Apocalypse West reel). However, with the launch of my new vidding website, I decided to just post the damn thing. Even if it's not my best vid, there's some good parts in it and I know that a lot of my friends love Tank Girl. So here you go!

I think it's awesome and you've done some very nice editing in there.
