Editor's Comments:

Well, here it is. The most time-consuming AMV I've made, and the last one I'll ever make. I purposely tried to make my last video be my best one.

I really wanted to make a non-typical Full Metal Alchemist AMV that did the series justice, so I thought one of the most interesting ways to do that would be to make an alternate storyline (a video that doesn't follow the actual plot of the series). By re-designing some scenes and changing the events, I could show the overused FMA scenes in a new and different way. Naturally, this involved a lot of compositing, masking, and frame-by-frame work, so I decided to learn how to use Adobe AfterEffects to make things a lot faster and easier.
