CWC Music Video Holding Out For a Hero
| “ | Despite just meeting me, I told him I already “felt a connection with him. I feel like you're my hero. I have this vision of you rescuing me from my school on a horse. I want you to make a video just like that." At this point he was all in. | ” |

CWC Music Video Holding Out For a Hero is quite possibly one of Chris's most well-known videos, an elaborate (by Chris's standards) music video created for his then-sweetheart Ivy. It was uploaded to YouTube on 26 March 2009, and was reuploaded to Chris's IBAChandler account on 29 July 2009, despite his relationship with Ivy having ended months earlier. It is a music video, the most effort Chris has ever put into a video, where he covers (or rather wails over the music track) Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For a Hero".
Description
| I dedicate this Music Video to Ivy. :)
Also, in addition to if anyone messes up this relationship, if anyone messes with Ivy, Period, I Swear to God and Jesus that I will cease drawing my comics and efforts to recovering the Sonichu Site. As long as y'all just Back Off, everyone's cool. Song Credits: Playstation 3, Playstation Eye and EyeCreate are property of SCEA, 2009 |
