I am extremely proud of this one. After my new buddy Caz sent me this song I just knew I had to vid it, and honestly I'm surprised I was able to finish this one so fast. It turned out exactly how I wanted it too, although I did want to have some form of effects pattern going on throughout, but because of a few clips near the beginning if I had added the pattern then the shots would've been ruined; thankfully I was able to use that pattern for quite a bit of the ending however so I'm happy for that.
I decided to use the literal sense of the lyrics instead of the true romantic meaning behind them, hence more sexual tension than pure love. Now, with something like MH it's EXTREMELY difficult to create sexual tension, but I think I fared ok in the end.

Story: Alex is a serial killer, pure and simple. He finds the people he's really sexually attracted too, hunts them down and in the end he kills them. When he finds Jay though, he finds that he's a little different. There's still the urge to kill, but for Jay the lust is stronger
than the others and he becomes obsessed, Jay falling for him as well even though he knows he's sick. After they spend a few times together however, Alex can't help himself and Jay joins the others before him.

Grim, I know, but the masks were so fun to make even though a few gave me some trouble.

Fun Facts: 1) I've been meaning to use the 'ghost' Brian shot for quite some time but couldn't think of where to use it until now; it was because of that effect that I got the idea to create 'ghost selves' of Seth and Tim as well for the video. 2) Jay is the man in the tunnel at the beginning of the video as well as the end, with little hints that Alex will murder him spread
throughout; with the final shot one can assume that Alex brought him home afterwards, for
sentimental (sick) reasons. 3) If you look closely, the 'blood' in the final shot does move a
little. 4) After noticing a masking mistake on the 'live inside you' line, I went back to fix it,
only to change the effect of Alex's entire body sans the wall behind him to just his head as it is in the video. I nearly went with the body shot because the head shot looked way too creepy, but seeing as the video is supposed to be creepy and sick I kept it instead. 5) It took around 7 additional hours just to render the video, not to mention go back and fix effects here and there many, many, MANY times and ending in 3 uploads.
