I first had an idea for this AMV in 2011. Back then i was planning to edit it to the same song i used in 'On My Own' (Globus - Orchard of Mines). Both storys are part of the same book and similar in tone. However, i was never really convinced of using the same song on both Videos. In 2016 I saw a Trailer for 'Rogue One' and considered using that trailers song for this AMV, even though the actual Anime 'Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory' was still two years away. In Fall of 2018 i was determined to edit this very AMV as the concept worked quite well with the now released Anime. However, i restricted myself to not edit it before finishing 'Darkest Hour'. This was for two reasons: Firstly, i didn't want to edit four AMVs to FMP in a row. Secondly, i already knew that this AMV would be called 'Zero Hour' and i didn't want it to take from 'Darkest Hour', which i consider a more ambitious project. So i did just that and halted production until May 2020. After releasing 'Darkest Hour' i went to edit this one right away and finished most of it within a week. However, with the AMV mostly done in May i didn't like the idea to release it too close to 'Darkest Hour', again to not undermine it. I wanted to have some breathing space between the two. So i decided to release 'Into the Blue' and 'AnT' in between and have 'Zero Hour' for Christmas. Still, I had a blast editing this AMV. Maybe even more so than most of my other AMVs from 2020. And i got some good beta feedback from Zest and JCD. This is my first and likely only Christmas AMV release. Full Metal Panic! is a franchise very dear to me and Teletha Testarossa my favorite character from it. For the release date I chose December 24th as this is also the Birthday of Tessa, the main character in this AMV. The name 'Zero Hour' is also the name of the first episode of 'Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory' and describes the start of the events that lead to the fall of the PMC Mithril. Which is what you see in this AMV so i decided to reuse that name. Anyway, I don't think I will edit another Full Metal Panic! AMV in the near (or distant) future. The franchise seems to be winding down and my current expectations for more Anime are low. Though, if FMP Anime ever returns, so will I. 2020 was also my first year where i didn't edit a main AMV to a song with english lyrics. However, my next AMV will make good on that. It's already well in progress and should be released much sooner than you think. So long. ------------------------------­---------- SOFTWARE USED: Vegas Pro 14 Photoshop CS6 VirtualDub Avisynth Handbrake
