Firstly, let me give you some intro and info on this...

Back in 2004 I happened to chance across this animation (http://gprime.net/flash.php/elvislivesinflash) made by this chap (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com) (whom some of you might already know), and I joined his forum site!

There I came across this Flash loop (http://albinoblacksheep.com/flash/popeyes.php) and I immediately was mesmerised by the dance, even though it seemed dorky. I was quite active in their forum (http://albinoblacksheep.com/forum/) so I helped other "fans" of the loop track down the original video, and it turned out it is from a commercial for the Popeyes food chain, which is now owned by Koreans.

Tracking down the video further, I encountered a Korean actress' site, and saw several "screen test" videos for the commercial, all showing her dancing and acting like a dork.
I downloaded all those videos, four or five in total.

One dull day with nothing better to do, I decided to play around with Windows Movie Maker 2, so I got these videos and Happatai's Yatta song (extracted from Irrational Exuberance (http://albinoblacksheep.com/flash/yatta.php) at that time) together on the Collection area.
I proceeded to use the Automovie feature to generate a music video, and it turned out quite cool to watch!
That video was originally linked from that site (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com).

So, this time, I decide to place it here, hopefully for your enjoyment.

*blink blink*

first, it says you made the video for ABS.
second, i don't see what you changed from the original.
third, you say it's copyrighted by you, even though you don't own the copyrights to the video or the music in the back.
fourth, *blink blink*

not meaning to be harsh.. but.. what were you thinking? :P

Yes, the copyrights are sort of my mistake that time.
This movie was actually "made" by Windows Movie Maker's Automovie feature. It told me to write the copyright there.
I thought it would be nice to bring it out of the dust again, in this other site.
That albinoblacksheep.com notice was requested by Sners "AB", because there were intellectual property issues with "Elvis Lives In Flash" (from what I gather, someone on NewGrounds stole his work).
To re-edit that video again will cost me time and will make my laptop overheat. It is hard to find that time when semesters are just 13 quick weeks of sheer assignment workloads (yes, I am a student). Not much of a social life. Not even much of a chance to talk to a girl (NO, NOT the one in the video of course) who has been looking at me longingly. I feel like crying now :sad2:. Wish she'll :huglove: me soon.
I was not thinking anything, I was just amazed at how Movie Maker did that video, matching it to the music.
The original were actually five individual videos with the same "Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes" soundtrack in Korean. Windows Movie Maker did a really fine job of joining these together.
