PS you don't have to follow the unwritten rules of internet courtesy when you're talking 
to me so don't worry about any of that bullshit :) Just real life courtesy is nice. Not 
like "ok I better come up with a constructive 30-word first-message to Juub005 stating 
why I am messaging him and what I want to do because he is a sociopath who hates 
conversation". I'm not that kind of person who will be like GRAR I'M TOO IMPORTANT FOR YOU

---GRAPHICS INFORMATION
The music video comes from THE BEST OF DONNA SUMMER: The DVD Collection. It's a budget 
collection, but that's because they only put 5 music videos on it. That's a damn shame 
because in order to get the Summer videos I want I have to order a DVD that was only made 
for like the Brazilian market. Smartripper, VirtualDubMPEG2 (NOT VirtualDubMod which for 
some reason does not have a Sound menu like the other VirtualDubs do), and Stepmania 3.9 
rc2a were used to get the video, cut it and set it up in the simfile, respectively. You 
need the DivX 5.2.1 codec to be able to see the music video.
THE MUSIC VIDEO WILL NOT PLAY IN DWI. Sorry guys :( If anyone wants to see the video in 
DWI (though it seems the only reason one would run DWI is because of a weaker machine) 
contact me and I'll try to learn how!

For DWI players, there are standard-size (256 x 80, 640 x 480) images. For Stepmania 
players, the images are bigger and therefore of better quality; these larger images 
apparently won't work in DWI. The .sm file is coded so that it will use the larger images.

For the banner and background, I took images and modified them and put nice-looking text 
in them using Photoshop 5.5. For the banner, I used a section of a very nice photo 
taken by Ben Hammersley.
His photo is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hammersley/57318784/ 
For the background, I used a really vibrant, colo(u)rful photo taken by a guy who goes by 
Todd K. His photo is here: 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/latitudes/56883345/in/set-72057594067864215/ It's pretty 
amazing considering it's just some place in Wisconsin. 
I have to admit that the text I added in the background just makes the whole thing really 
cheesy but come on, it's really happy! and isn't the song that way? 

Also, it was kinda difficult deciding when to fade from video to background at the end and 
even whether to fade or to just have a spontaneous change. I decided to fade right at the 
last step so that you could see the whole background before it started going to the score 
screen.

The fonts I used were
-Ballpark Weiner (for "Love's About to Change My Heart"), which you can find on dafont.com 
-Nominal (for "Donna Summer"), which you can find on www.aenigmafonts.com
Yes, the Donna Summer logo was the same as the one in LAST DANCE. I might upload it in a 
logo form that everyone can use like the guys at nDDRo do.

---MUSIC INFORMATION
"Love's About to Change My Heart" originally appeared on Donna Summer's 1989 album 
"Another Place & Time." It reappeared on the massive compilation GOLD in 2005, which is 
a compilation that you see for other artists (just like 20th Century Masters, etc...). 
Donna Summer probably has the best tempo-changers in all popular music. Seriously.
Now this song definitely reminds me of Whitney Houston's dance hits, or just of Whitney 
Houston period. It's still trademark Donna Summer, though; I mean, just look at how long 
she holds her voice at the end! And it's fun.

Donna Summer is the queen of disco. Yes, I said "is." Disco is still alive. But don't go 
fooling yourself into thinking that this song is disco because it's not! This is pop or 
dance, but not disco, which has a distinctively different sound. Donna has tried out 
disco, ballads, gospel, strange songs with sort-of-but-not-really-African-sounding beats, 
working with Vangelis, modern dance, singing for a Disney movie... Her single "I Got Your 
Love" went to #1, I believe, on the Billboard Club Dance chart very recently. :)

The way the song is cut is that it makes a big jump from the tempo change to the later 
part of a song, so I basically removed the "middle." Unlike as in "LAST DANCE," I did not 
cut the slow part. Everything got cut in Cakewalk Home Studio 2002 but using information 
obtained, again, from the Stepmania editor...

By the way, if you think the fadeout is fast, this fadeout is just about the same length 
as is the fadeout in BOYS (&GIRL MIX) from TM6. It seems to fit precisely the amount of 
time between when you hit the last step of a set and when the score screen comes up. I 
would like to thank SHOH, then, for setting a good fadeout length from which I could 
learn :)

OH, and each line of lyrics purposely shows up .04 seconds before it's actually sung. Why? 
Well, on karaoke machines, you see the words before they are supposed to be sung so that 
you actually know what they are before you start singing; you'll more likely remember the 
notes than the lyrics even if you HAVE seen them once before. As ironically indicated by 
the readme for my simfile "take a ****," the lyrics really are there for karaoke purposes, 
and if you don't believe so, you need to loosen up and start singing ;)

---STEP INFORMATION
//SINGLE//
LIGHT (1) - No, this isn't a statement saying why Beginner shouldn't be a mandatory 
chart. It's probably a light 1 instead of a beginner 1, though, and I think the main 
distinguishment is that the placement of steps is more diverse. There is ~definitely~ 
enough repetition here for this to be as easy as a 1-footer should be, and damn that max 
combo is low at otso-otso. Really, this is a song that's so happy and fun it deserves to 
be as easy as possible; for some reason I just couldn't imagine a 3-footer being as 
enjoyable on this level. There is a rather long freeze for a 1-footer, though, but it'd 
still be as fun to fall off that freeze during Donna's long vocal part. This chart makes 
me want to be a beginner again :)
STANDARD (4) - In creating a 4-footer I had to make sure I kept the max combo low. 
HEAVY (6) - Hello! This is DDR the way it should be, and I say that with confidence. I'd 
felt that as of late I hadn't been stepping things as well as I could, but once I stepped 
this I knew that this should be my judged entry. I didn't try to be innovative; I just 
kept it simple, making it as DDR-like as possible; simple spins that DO require that you 
spin but that aren't difficult, making this really nice and fun. By "spins" I don't mean 
360 spins but simple rotations of the body. 
Now if we recall our Maniac/Heavy 6-footers and not the Trick/Another/Standard ones, we 
know that 6-footers often have 1 tricky part in them that is unusually hard for the set. 
That's in this chart; I'm not going to tell you where it's at because it'll be fairly 
obvious once you've played it. But understand that that sort of pattern CAN be there in a 
6-footer. My favorite pattern in this chart is the two measures starting with "How can I 
KNOOOOw???"
//DOUBLE//
Enjoy :)

---JUUB INFORMATION
Contests I've entered: 
1) DDRei Tournamix 4; "Lunar Beach"; bad file, when I was new to making files.
2) DDROSC3; "Radio Radio"; 4th place in Bracket 4, just missing the finals. Thanks a lot, 
voting public :P.
3) DDRei Tournamix 6 (Final); "LAST DANCE"; 29th of 58 in semifinals; 7th of ~70 in 
Bracket 2; absolutely the most effort I have ever put into a file, because of the sync 
and cutting difficulties. And it was all worth it because I enjoy the finished product 
that much.
4) nDDRo -The King of Iron Feet Tournament-; "Rock The Boat"; 2nd in initial round; 3rd 
(last) in final round with only my vote; A file inspired by DDR Club Mix that I really 
like but that the public didn't get too excited about.
5) DDROSC4; "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)"; 2nd in Bracket 1; 6th in 
finals; Breaking my trend of LRLR contest entries, I do pretty well with a rather simple 
(though intricate in what I had to do to make the file) and slow disco file. 
6) DDRExtreme.co.uk ChristmasMix 2; "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"; 7th of 18; 
Continuing my trend of contest entries that repeat an exclamation three times, I do okay 
with this mostly soft but jazzy Gloria Estefan rendition of a classic. It's a 12th-note 
file and I did some odd things with it.
7) nDDRo -Di Gi Jared Invitational-; "take a ****"; 3rd in initial round; 2nd in final 
round; I censored the title of this song so it wouldn't be considered a joke entry. The 
fastest job I've ever done on a file, it did amazingly well (I had like no time due to 
college apps). I did so well with this file that lrxevan told someone to "go take a ****" 
during an Internet fight! I'm still wondering how he guessed that I did the file. (This 
was a competition in which the entries' creators were kept secret until the end.)
