This proved to be much tougher to sync than I expected.  I knew the slowdown in the middle would require some effort, but I wasn't expecting to deal with a live drummer.  I had to adjust the sync several times during and after the creation of the stepcharts, as I continued to find parts that were a bit off.

During the first part of the song, there's a song cut right in the middle of the word "crosshair".  I'm particularly pleased with the way this cut came out; can't even tell it's there.

Video quality is not the greatest, but it's the best (and only) level of quality I could find.  I wanted to move around different parts of the video, showing them in a different order than they officially appear in, much like Konami did with the video for Move Your Feet.  To make them fit with the parts they now correspond to, I had to adjust the framerate on several of them (more fun with live bpm's).  VirtualDub can't combine videos that use different framerates (or so I've read), so the video remains in several pieces.
