The world's much-needed Harvest Moon version of the ever-popular IOSYS flash animation "魔理沙は大変なものを盗んでいきました" (Marisa Ha Taihen Na Mono Wo Nusunde Ikimashita), better known as "Marisa Stole the Precious Thing"... or in this case, JAMIE Stole the Precious MELODY! The title and completely awesome parody interpretation idea was sparked by Nakayliahenry, and when she had to take on all her other spiffy project ideas instead, I knew I had to steal it and get it done. =D Although I've been working on this sporadically for several days before, I've done absolutely nothing for the past four days or so but eat, sleep, bathroom, and stealing precious things. We're talkin' as many as TWELVE hours a day! THAT'S HALF MY LIFE! xD But I really, REALLY wanted to do it, obviously, and so here it is. =P Once again, I don't have Flash, so forgive the lack of some important specific effects and motions, because I did the whole thing entirely on Paint and Windows Movie Maker (yeah, I know, talk about amateur, right? xD). I tried my best to match the original in both scenes and transitions as closely as possible. Oh, and the FONTS, too! Anything I attempted to do with title overlay looks lame, but the ones formatted separately on a program called Printmaster -- like the numbers and "can't be alive" -- look pretty authentic, right? ^^ (Not to mention that the story behind this whole thing actually makes sense if you think about it -- the Goddess really CAN'T be alive without you! =O) And I've gotta say, those "country folk" took me forever and I think they turned out really cute despite their two-and-a-half-second spotlight, so PLEEEASE take the time to pause on the flag people, please...? x3 Oh yeah, in case it's unreadable, the title on the book throughout the video is "HM:MM Ultimate Cheat Guide" -- just so the ending doesn't sound too stupidly random. And the off-original dance near the middle is the "Danjo" -- if you don't know it, look it up, because a song about seating arrangements can enrich your life. xD There are a million more notes I wanna make, but I suppose I'll restrain myself to let you all find them yourselves...
