*Song: According To You
*Artist: Orianthi
*Clips: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.
*Story: Pretty straightforward: the people of her world never seem to appreciate Alice, but according to her Mad Hatter she's beautiful, incredible, and everything he ever wanted. It's not a surprise which world she decided to go back to in the end.
Would you believe me if I said I've been working on this for two years? YeaaaaahMENEITHER. I kept saying I would finish this, but after a point, I just kinda forgot about it. It was hard to me to get back into the swing of it after that.
Still, I'm pretty freaking proud of what I have here, so I thought I'd share. I hope you guys like it!

866-4-U-TREVOR (866-488-7386)
Artist: Idina Menzel
Story: The story starts off with Belle entering an abandoned castle, where Esmeralda has been waiting for her. They used to be lovers living in Paris, but after being persecuted by the government, the two of them run away and promise to meet again someday, where that can be free to love each other as they are. The two are reunited in the castle in the French countryside, finally able to love each other fully and freely from the restraints of society.

This is part of an MEP I'm hosting in honor of LGBT Pride Month, and what a perfect time to post this since New York has legalized gay marriage! Even though for some reason half of the final kiss didn't render (asajdsadfjaslkdfjalfj), I'm still proud of this, and proud to be part of the movement for gay rights. Please enjoy.
P.S. Homophobic comments will be deleted. The end.
Song: Don't Wanna Fall In Love
Artist: Wonderland [musical]
Story: I played around with a few concepts in this vid, since of course Beast wants to fall in love with somebody to break the curse. So, basically, Belle doesn't want to fall in love at all, while Beast doesn't want fall in love with HER (since she'd being so difficult and all! Besides, at the begining of the movie I think he's a bit too immature to really understand love anyway) Of course, it's funny how things can change...

She lives!? She lives!! And with at least ONE new video to share, imagine that?
I had a LOT of fun with this MEP part. There are some parts I'm iffy about, but there are also some part that I'm in LOVE with. But I'll let you all be the judge =)
Also, I think I may have a curse for falling for every pairing I vid. I seriously feel like writing some legit fanfic on these two, that's how adorable they are ♥
Anyway, please comment and enjoy! 8D
Now we've all graduated and are at different colleges, scattered across the country (and globe). We'll make new friends, make new homes, and eventually move on. But I hope you all wont forget the time we spent together the last couple of years. It's been an unforgettable experience for me, and even though life goes on, I hope you all will look back and smile sometimes.
Thank you for everything. I love you, I miss you, and I'll never forget you. You have all changed me "for the better" -- and, in my usual fashion, I'll draw from my book of musical references and say:
"So much of me is made from what I've learned from you
You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend..."
Who's Who ::

Song: Belle (Reprise)
Artist: Beauty & The Beast [Broadway Cast]
Clips: Alice in Wonderland [2010]
Because Belle = Alice in everything - expect for maybe accent, facial expressions, temper, social class and time period. They both are considered "odd" by their communities, and both long for something more exciting and meaningful then their dull, mudane lifestyles. And of, course, they were both proposed to by snobbish duds.
A very simply style in effects, but videos with classic Disney songs rarely need super-epic effects to be powerful, I've discovered. This was a very spawn-of-the-moment vid,
...well, it's kinda a full video, isn't it? Okay, seriously, I swear I'm working on the real deal full length video. Actually, I'm working on three. So expect those soon-ish.
(And of course I'm an Alice/Tarrant fan ;D)
Anyway, per usual - please comment, thumb (lolz) and enjoy!
This is what a lot boring day of packing for a move does...

Story: While Alice is growing up after her experience with the Rabbit Hole as a child, on the other side of Europe is Paris, Christine Daee, a dancer and opera singer in training, accidentally stumbles upon the other portal to Underland. Enchanted by the images she sees inside the looking-glass in her dressing room, she goes inside it, and finds herself in the strange world of "Wonderland". And in this world is a strange companion waiting there for her - athough she's not exactly who he expected...
Clips: The Phantom of the Opera; Alice in Wonderland (2010 film)

This was a fun MEP, with the idea of a girl crossing over into another "world", so I decided to roll with it. I think Christine would have quite a marvelous time in Underland, personally, since she's likely to believe in...*cough* anything... although I do wonder how well she had the Hatter would get along. Personally, I can see this couple working out to be quite cute :3
I am considering extending this MEP part into a longer video, but it all depends on how much time I have. Well, even if I don't, I hope you guys enjoy this little vid I worked up! I'm pretty happy with it :)
Please rate (...thumb?), comment, and enjoy!
P.S. I SWEAR the next video I make will be full length. I'm actually working on three different ones at the moment, but I'm excited to get each of them up!

Story: Kinda an alternate storyline for Quasimodo and Esmeralda. I played with the idea of not only Quasimodo's infatuation, but the thought of Esmeralda falling in love with HIM, and discovering that her fairy-tale knight in shining armour wasn't exactly who she was expecting him to be...
Clips: Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney)
MEP Group: When You Wish Disney Studios
This was a fun one to make. Quasimodo doesn't get many pure-fluff vids, and he sure needs more of them! And this couple? Okay, as much as I love Esme/Phoebus, THIS is my OTP. It has been since I was ten. Doesn't the guy deserve a happy ending for once? (Disregard the sequel, plz k tnks.)
Also, YAYZ for slowly-but-surely figuring out audio stuff in Vegas! 8D
Plz comment and enjoy, guys!
The story is fairly simple; Meg and Mulan are in love with each other, but one day Mulan's father catches them together. Furious, he forbids Mulan to ever see Meg again. When Mulan tries to fight back, he calls her a disgrace to the family for falling in love with another woman. Hurt and confused, Mulan untimatly decides that she can't deny her love for Meg, even if her own father considers it wrong - and she runs away.
*~* Drop In The Ocean: Very sweet and simple, but I rather like it. The song fits Beast/Belle so well; they've been my favorite Disney couple for a long time, and I thought this tender and melancholy song was a perfect representation for their relationship.
*~* Everything You Want: This is actually my favorite MEP part to date. The texture I used works remarkably well, and I think I used the effects in a pretty great way. Also: Aladdin/Tiana is my new favorite crossover couple. That balcony scene works so well when they're together. Expect more videos of them in the future.
The story is: Tiana is engaged to Naveen, who in pretty much every respect is the perfect man. She's fooled herself into thinking she loves him, but it slowly dawns on her that, though he may be perfect, Naveen just isn't perfect for her. At her engagement party, Tiana stands on her balcony, confused and unsure of what to do, and begins to cry. But someone is around to hear her cry - her long time friend Aladdin, who is secretly in love with her. He shows up, much to Tiana's surprise, and tries to tease her into a smile. But Tiana just rolls her eyes and tells him to get lost - and so he does (and gives her a good scare in the process). But then he offers her the chance to run away from the world for a while, for once acting totally sincere and giving Tiana the chance to see him in a new light - and Tiana is very tempted to take that chance...
*~* Somebody Told Me: Crack vid much? XD But hell, it was fun to make! But GOD those flashes. I am not going to try to synch so many flashes to beats in a very, very long time. D: But this vid is so cracky, I like it. I especially like the very end xD
Basically, the Beast is in love with Kiara, who is in love with the Beast's ex, Belle [shuttup, Disney supports beastiality as far as I'm concerned]. When Kiara doesn't show up one night, Cogworth is forced to tell him the truth (poor guy), and of course, the Beast is furious. He bolts to Kiara's room (where she and Belle are...?....I'll let you fill in the gaps to your liking) and demands for Kiara to explain herself. But Belle and Kiara aren't the type to take shit from anyone, and just ends up giving the Beast a hard time. Obviously, the Beast has to re-think the way he's handling girls xD
*~* Blame It On The Pop: I LOVE THIIIS. IT WAS SO MUCH FUUUUUN. 8D
So for this MEP, we're trying to use every feature Disney film made [discluding sequels]. Each part is divided with different 'sets' of films to use - and since The Lion King and Hunchback of Notre Dame are my favorite Disney films of all time, of course I leaped for that set. Pocahontas and A Goofy Movie were also included. I've never used A Goofy Movie before, and athough I probablt wont use it again in the future, it was fun to use :3
Song: La Monture
From: Notre Dame de Paris
This is just something I decided to try the other day for fun. I didn't expect anything of it, but I was suprised by how much I liked my own singing of this song. It has a lot of problems, especially since the song is veeery low for me, but you know what? Six months ago, when I thought about trying to sing this song, I laughed. The fact that this actually came out half-decent makes me pretty happy. I like the second verse in particular - I think I have much better control in that section.
And about the lyrics...I love the French version of this song, but I can't sing in French to save my life, so I tried the original English translation. I didn't like it very much, but a while ago I wrote my own English translation of the song, and I decided to give that a try. Those words you hear are my own translation, yes.
It's not perfect, especially since translating is usually a bitch for me to do, and this song in particular is a helluva hard song to translate since every word has to rhyme. But apart from a sentence or word here or there, I actually really like this translation. I think it captures the sense of vengance and desperation that was conveyed in the original a bit better then the London translation.
My lyrics:
Upon your steed our Sun God moves
Such grace, such poise, such virtue
A knight that made my heart swoon
A man with something to prove
Or perhaps this is all a ruse
You're just a beast on the lose
Going where your heat takes you
Is there a heart in that armor?
My heart is fair, my heart is true
Give me your wounds, I'll heal you
I'll do whatever I must do
But if you want me to love you
If you want me to love you
You must hang Esmeralda
Those childish dreams that I made
Begin to expand and fade
I'll trade them all for your touch
I'm not as pure as a dove
Teach me your cruel ways of love
Until I feel too much
Your proclamations are for fools
You loving words are so crude
You will regret your lust for shrews
I'll be your next misfortune
Use your passion to cut me through
Come here and take me, you brute
What else do I have left to lose?
But if you want me to love you
If you want me to love you
You must hang Esmeralda
You must hang the Zingara

This whole thing isn't great, but I had fun doing it. This was more about practicing the voice for a certian character then just showing off my chops - I really wanted her hatred and vindiciveness to be apparent through my characterization, and I think I did that. Fleur-de-Lis is also my favorite character in the show (next to Quasimodo, of course), and a highly underrated and misunderstood one in my opinion. I aint not Julie Zenatti, but I hope I did Fleur some justice :)

Song: Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
Artist:Ke$ha
Pairing: Quasimodo/Ariel
Story: Ariel and Quasimodo have been in love with each other for a long time, but Quasimodo gets upset when he sees Ariel dancing with a handsome young man on the streets one day. The two fight about it, both being particularly harsh, ending with hurt feelings for both. Ariel, furious as Quasimodo, then bluntly states that Prince Erik as proposed to her...and that she accepted.
Quasimodo, shocked, clings to the belief that it's all just a lie that Ariel made up in her spite, but he is crushed when he's proved wrong. Prince Erik and Ariel do indeed marry, and Quasimodo attents, silently crying in the shadows, the love of his life now gone forever.
Ariel is overwhealmed by the jovility of her marrige, but when she wakes up the next morning, she realizes that she has made a terrible, terrible mistake. True, Prince Erik is handsome and dashing, but Quasimodo was the kindest, bravest man Ariel had ever known - and the love of her life. She had tossed him aside out of temper and vanity, and is now left with nothing in her loveless marrige, the love in her life all gone and wasted thanks to her.
She then tries to find Quasimodo, but is told that his body was found in front of Notre Dame, having killed himself the night before as she and Erik were wed. What was supposed to be the greatest moment of her life instead became her worst nightmare. Now, she is trapped, overcome, and all alone.

*Final part! Well, it just took me a year to get this project finished xD But in the end, I hope I opened some doors for people to love this fantastic musical, and perhaps french musical theatre in general (there's a few great ones here on YT).

*Song: Change My Name
*Artist: Trading Yesterday
*Clips: The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney); The Little Mermaid
*Story: An "alternate ending" to the Hunchback movie, if you will. Inspired by the ending of the German musical counterpart of the Disney film, called Der Glockner Von Notre Dame. Check it out, it's awsome.
The night of the battle of Notre Dame, Quasimodo saved Esmeralda from the stake, but he was still too late. Esmeralda is now dead (for real), and though Frollo is gone and Quasimodo is free, he cannot be happy. He mourns Esmeralda's death and continues to hide up in the bell tower. Many times he hears Esmeralda's voice ringing out through the church, and Quasimodo grows hopeful until she realizes it's just his desperate and traumatized imagination.
After many months, Quasimodo has driven himself to the edge of madness with his grief. He can't take hiding up in the bell tower anymore, but he's still very much afraid to venture into the real world without his dear friend beside him. But Esmeralda wouldn't have wanted him to be upset and hide for the rest of his life, Quasimodo realizes. He decides to take a chance and venture into the city, and not have Esmeralda's hopes and kindness towards him be in vain.
On the day Quasimodo goes out, he sees a young girl dancing in the street. She looks and dances nothing like Esmeralda did, but Quasimodo is drawn to the innocent and kind smile on her face. Unexpectedly, the woman (Ariel) notices him as well. At first Quasimodo is very shy, but Ariel just smiles at him playfully, drawing him out of his shell. He asks her why she isn't replused by his uglness, but she simply taps her throat, and Quasimodo realizes that she cannot speak. They are both outcasts.
Things go well with the two of them, until one day Quasimodo gets angry at himself for "forgetting" about Esmeralda in his happiness, and accidentaly takes his frusterations out on Ariel. She runs out of the belltower crying, and Quasimodo feels terrible. He spends many hours mulling over his emotions for both Esmeralda and Ariel - he's afraid that if he loves Ariel, it would be like betraying Esmeralda. But he finally comes to terms with the fact that Esmeralda only would have wanted Quasimodo to be happy, and he finally realizes his true feelings for Ariel.
*ENDING - SPOILERS!*
But once again he is too late. Phoebus comes and tells Quasimodo that he saw Ariel dive into the water, and even though he went in after her, she didn't re-surface.
Quasimodo is distraught, guilty and worried that what he told her might have caused her to kill herself. But Ariel returns, and they both finally admit their love for each other (Ariel has somehow regained her powers of speach). For the first time in a long time, Quasimodo is happy, with love in his heart and the spirit of Esmeralda evermore by his side.
*Notes: None.
Woooow. First full-length video in...um...ever. And I've been working on this one for a mighty long time. I'm pretty happy with my "storytelling" in this, and even though some of the manips are TERRIBLE, I'm pretty damn pleased with how this turned out. I hope you all like it!
I'm thinking of making a "sister video" to this one, with the same story but in Ariel's point of view, since she only arrives halfway through this video. This video is more about Quasimodo's character development then their romance. What do you guys think?
Oh, and I'm in love with this couple. Like wut :3 I should stop pairing up Quasimodo with the girls, but let's be honest here - does the man get nearly enough crossover love? No, my dearies, he does not.
Anyway, please rate, comment and enjoy!

Pretty simple video. Not my best work, but I haven't been very inspired to make videos of late, so when I got this burst of creativity this after (thank God for vacation), I decided to just go with it!
Please rate, comment and enjoy!
What we've got here is a cover of the song "God Help The Outcasts" from my favorite Disney film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. This is the absolute first time I've decided to post a solo of mine on YouTube. I'm usually very, very embarrased about singing solo and sharing my voice with other people; I had a solo in the musical this year, and I could barely get my three lines out! So why am I deciding to sing solo for you all?
Well, first of all, I tried to cover this song a year ago for a Hunchback singing contest, but was waaaay too humiliated by my voice. I just couldn't convice myself that I can sing halfway decently. In reality, I loooove to sing, but I never thought I had a good voice.
But I made a promise to myself this year - that I would stop putting myself down all the time, and have more confidence in myself. And the thing I'm the hardest on myself about is my singing. I've decided that if I hope to be a part of musical theatre in college, I have to stop being so embarrased by my singing and not be afraid to put myself out there, even if I'm not that great. This video if the first step in that direction.
Also, I simply love this song. It is the song of my childhood. As someone often outcasted myself, this song spoke to me in ways that no other song can. Since I have just a strong personal attachment to this song, I thought I would do best with it. I've wanted to cover this song for a long time, and I'm glad I finally did.
I must ask you all to be gentle in your critizisms. I have never taken a voice lesson in my life, and I realize that my voice is nothing compaired to most people on YouTube. I covered this song to help boost confidence in myself and most importantly, to have fun. I'm defenatly not going to be the next Patti LuPone, and I'm not trying to be.
I do hope some people actually enjoy this!
Video: Reacreate A Scene: ~ LITTLE L O T T E ♥ {Dimitri&Odette}
Song/Audio: "Little Lotte" [2004 Movie Version]
Artist/Film: The Phantom Of The Opera [2004 Film]
Pairing: Dimitri/Odette
Clips: Anastasia; The Swan Princess
This is the first time I've EVER tried dubbing in Disney films. When I first heard about AppleDown's "Recreate a Scene" contest, I was at first like "naaah", since, as you see, I suck at dubbing. But this idea popped into my head, so I decided to give it a shot.
Obviously not my best work, but there are a few things I'm proud of. I like a lot of the lip-synch (even if it was totally unintentional! XD). And really, in the end, the only reason I decided to share this is because of the manips. For someone who can't mask, I think I did a pretty good job on them ^^
Unfortunatly, my Swan Princess clips are MAJORLY messed up, and I have no idea how to fix them. I spent the majority of the day trying to render the video with the clips totally right, but in the end I gave up, so a few of the clips are a little sketchy. I apoligize. I have a feeling that I wont be making any Odette vids for a while...
About the audio itself - it's the scene in the Phantom of the Opera were Raoul and Christine reunite for the first time in years after Christine's premiere at the Opera that night. Little Lotte is a poem they both knew as kids, and were the "Angel of Music" reference came from (and those who know Phantom should know who her "Angel really is). Odette is pitch perfect for Christine, but I had some problems with Dimitri as Raoul. However, I couldn't really think of anyone else who could fit the part =/
Oh whatever. I hope you can enjoy it anyway. Please comment and rate as well!
Song: Sans Elle (Without Her)
A very special thanks to Calypsogodness, who offered to translate the dialogue!
Please understand that I am not fluent in French, so these subtitles are not perfect. I created these videos for other people who don't speak French to get a basic idea of the plot. If you're fluent in French and think that I'm completely off the mark with the subtitles, let me know, and I might redo the video. But please understand that I did the best I could.
But I hope more English speakers will become interested in this great musical by learning more details about the plot. Again, please don't assume this is a perfect translation (the French lyrics are simply better on their own) , but I put a lot of work into these videos, and I hope people will like them.
Song: White Horse
Artist: Taylor Swift
Pairing: Esmeralda/Beast (human) x Belle
Story: [Not Shown] Esmeralda is in love with Adam (the human form of the Beast), and often sneaks away to his castle to spend time with him. Although he is a prince and she is a gypsy, Esmeralda cannot help but grow affectionate towards him, and he admits to her one night that he feels the same way about her. Confused, Esmeralda hurries home, aware how innapropriate it would be for her to love a prince.
But love overwhealms her, and Esmeralda goes to the castle the next day toconfess her love to Adam, and hears festive music outside the door to the great hall. Esmeralda hurries to the door to find Adam in the arms of a beautiful princess and his new bride, Belle. Esmeralda, heartbroken, watches Adam and Belle dance happily together while she sorrowfully lingers on her memories of the times they were together and the future that could have been. Why he chose Belle and not her, she'll never know; she dissapears from his life forever thereafter.

I'm pretty happy with this. Life would be so much easier if MY VEGAS COULD MASK (thus why the clip of Adam and Esme together is so TERRIBLE), but I'm proud of this as a whole. I especially like the ending and the texture - I pretty much have no idea where to find the amazing textures all these editors have!
Love this song, and I'm really starting to love this couple. I'm hoping to make more videos of them in the future.
Anyway, please comment, rate, and enjoy1
Song: Aimer
Artist: Romeo et Juliette (French Musical)
This MEP revolves around canon couples, and was supposed to be a Valentine's Day MEP (but didn't get finished in time). "Aimer" means literally "To Love" in French; that should tell you enough about this video! xD
For those interested, the English translation to the song can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v_d5HZ0iAY

Song: Love Song Requiem
Artist: Trading Yesterday
Clips: Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney)
MEP Group: When You Wish Disney Studios
A pretty simple video, but I still like it. No amazing affects or anything, but I tried to work with the coloring, which I haven't focused on in my videos before. I'm more happy with the beginning than the end.
This song always reminds me of Quasimodo (in both the book and Disney movie), so I was very happy to have a part in this MEP supporting the Quasimodo/Esmeralda/Phoebus love triangle. It's such a heartbreakingly beautiful song, and it fits Quasimodo's story perfectly.
Please rate, comment, and enjoy =3
*Song: Your Love Is My Drug
*Artist: Ke$ha
*Clips: Notre Dame de Paris (musical, Italian)
*Story: Esmeralda is acting like a love-sick crackhead - but about the RIGHT man this time around ;D
*Notes: Lola Ponce is Esmeralda, Matteo Setti as Gringoire
My excuse for this? Ke$ha music, as much as I hate that kind of music, is freaking addicting. I know her songs have been all over YouTube, and I try to avoid using overused songs in my vids - but gosh darn it, Ke$ha brainwashed me!
I absolutly love this couple. I don't in the novel, or even in the original musical adaptation; just in the Italian production of Notre Dame de Paris. This is largely due to the actors. Lola and Matteo have such irresistable chemistry on stage, I fell in love with them together very quickly. They are so remarkably cute together when they interact, and I wanted to capture their flirtatious natures with this perky video!
The video is a bit more a tribute of the characters these specific actors created, but I'm really starting to grow on the idea of Gringoire/Esme as a pairing in general. Of course, Esmeralda isn't in love with Gringoire, but I reckon if she did fall obsessively in love with him instead of Phoebus, there would be a loooot of trouble saved in the long run. (Why can't Esmeralda ever choose the RIGHT man to obsess over - that is, EVERY OTHER MAN BUT PHOEBUS?)
Sorry for the short length, but as sad as it is, shots of these two together are very scarce. I'm also sorry if this video is too perky for such a tragic musical xD Again, if you don't know what Notre Dame de Paris is, I recommend you look it up right here on YouTube - they do have the entire show with subtitles (unfortunatly, only the French version, not the Italian, but the French is magnificent in its own way).
Edit: Agh, I think the texture I chose was too harsh. And it still bugs me that I can't render in HD with my Vegas ;_;
Song: Avoir Une Fille (To Have A Girl)
*This one was triiiicky. I apoligize if there are more small errors in here then usual*

I've been so busy lately, I haven't had much time to focus on full length projects, so I have been dedicating my focus to making MEP parts for When You Wish Disney Studios (which is amazing, by the way!) I thought I'd show you guys my recent MEP parts all in one video. I also have a preview of my next full length video, which I'm very excited to have time to work on again!
MEP Parts:
"A Good Night (I Gotta Feeling)" MEP
- I really really like my MEP part for this. It's short, but it was so fun to make. I love the texture as well - I'll probably be doing again!
"Far Away" MEP
- Quasimodo/Anya is a very hard couple to pull off, but I enjoyed the challenge, and overall, I'm very happy with how it turned out. It might be my favorite MEP part I've made so far. It was also my first time attempting to do a crossover kiss (kinda), and it actually looks pretty legit! I'm happy =3
"(Tango) Princesse" MEP
- This was my first time hosting an MEP for WYWDS. I am EXTREMELY happy both with the turn out off MEP-ers (not many people are as crazy French music fans and I am!) and the final result. Check out the finished MEP here

Man! I Feel Like A Woman MEP
Character: Esmeralda
I'm glad I did this part mostly because I experimented with Vegas and learned a lot by doing it. I really got the hand of the TV effect for this one, and I played a lot with the transitions and cookie cutters. I tend to be very conservative with my video making, but I decided to let myself go all out for this one, and I'm pretty happy with the result. I love the end in particular.
Miss Independent MEP
Character: Chel
- I am VERY happy with this MEP part. It's probably my favorite out of all I made so far. There are one or two bits I'm not in love with, but I really love the whole thing. I was able to let myself experiment more without going too over the top, and the end result was very nice. I did a good job considering I never used El Dorado clips before =3 It was also my first time experimenting with the chroma keyer.
Preview of my next full-length video:
Disenchanted Lullaby : Quasimodo&Ariel
I don't want to give too much of the plot away right now, but the basic set up is an alternate ending to the Hunchback movie, where Esmeralda actually dies in the end. The musical Der Glockner Von Notre Dame (and adaptation of the original movie) ends with Esmeralda's death, and it got me to thinking how Quasimodo would learn to cope in the Disneyverse rather then in the original novel. Thus, this video was born!
Of what I have, there isn't any crossover yet. I'm still showing Quasimodo coping with Esmeralda's death at this point of the video. After her death, he can still hear her singing in the cathedrale - at least he thinks he can, until he realizes that all he was hearing was a long lost memory.
I'm really excited to see how this will turn out when I pop Ariel in. It's a hard crossover, but I think I'm officially in love with it, in a weird way. I'm also planning on making a sister video of the same story, only in Ariel's point of view, since this first video mostly revovles around Quasi.
Sorry for the long talk XD Anyway, tell me what you think!

Artist: Hunchback of Notre Dame
Clips: The Little Mermaid
I decided to make another Everyone MEP part. I haven't been remarkably inspired to make AMVs of late, so I thought I'd ease my way back into production with some MEP parts and short vids.
This one is not really effect-sparkly, and I like it that way. This is not a song that's supported by dazzling effects - it's a very strong song on its own. As well as one of my favorites. I thought it went well with Ariel because, like Quasimodo, she yearns to live "her day in the sun", even if everyone keeps telling her its not possible. But Ariel, like Quasimodo, eventually proves them wrong.
I hope you enjoy this little video, and please rate and comment!
