Invitation to do an AMV with famous Romantic Chinese Song

The song in question is "The Moon Represents My Heart" by Teresa Teng, which I have in mp3 format (duration 3:30; for a taster, You-Tube has several versions, but by different singers). I don't even speak Chinese but can connect to the translated lyrics and overall mood of the song. I think it offers something radically different from most love songs in English. The translated lyrics are:

You ask me how deep my love for you is,
How much I really love you…
My affection is real.
My love is real.
The moon represents my heart.

You ask me how deep my love for you is,
How much I really love you…
My affection does not waver,
My love will not change.
The moon represents my heart.

* Just one soft kiss
is enough to move my heart.
A period of time when our affection was deep,
Has made me miss you until now.

* You ask me how deep my love for you is,
How much I really love you.

* ** Go think about it.
Go and have a look [at the moon],
The moon represents my heart.

Repeat *

Repeat **

Thus, I think it would be great if someone can create an appropriate AMV to go with the song. As far as I know, there isn't an AMV here with a Chinese song - so this could be a first!

So why am I being a lazy fool and not making the AMV myself? Firstly, as anyone who has seen my only AMV will attest, my technical skills leave a lot to be desired. Secondly, I don't have access to much anime and most importantly, I am completely swamped with work for the foreseeable future (full-time employment is a real killer!).

Therefore, I would like to give this song to someone with the capability to use it effectively. I am willing to discuss ideas as to what to include in the video. An initial idea is just to match some soft, romantic footage to the song, maybe from Howl's Moving Castle? Or perhaps a more harrowing AMV where the lyrics pertain to a recently deceased lover spiritually singing to her still-alive beloved?

Forgot to include this in last post:

So anyone up for it?

I would love to! This might really fit if I can ever figure out how to rip my Petshop of Horrors DVD~ You don't mind gore and tragedy and possibly implied boyslove coming from this, right?

Either way, I'd love a copy of the song. It sounds gorgeous.
