honestly... this was made mostly for myself 'cause who's ever gonna watch it haha but i think it's a nice way to "celebrate" this occasion. seeing my old edits makes me cringe, yes, but i'll never delete any of them from my channel 'cause as embarrassing as they may be, that's where i started from. and it's always satisfying to watch your own progress, isn't it :')
i had asked in a poll a couple of days ago how i should incorporate all those little "facts" i wrote before each edit, the winning option was "do a voice over" and I TRIED but i continuously forgot what i wanted to say and messed up, so in the end i just made those templates which were also a good way to include all the info about song, anime, etc. so now i don't have to do it in the description :D unfortunately it made the video even longer than it already was, but i didn't see any other solution. they took SOOO LONG to do though?? how do you people do them for every mep collection, this is beyond me
just to make it a bit easier to navigate through the video, here's some timestamps marking the beginning of each year (i counted from june, since i started editing at the end of june 2014). once a new year starts, the color of the templates also changes haha please notice my efforts

PS: i noticed a few typos, and some of the pictures look dark or blurry, but this took 2+ hours to render and i also have no intention to go and do the templates again tbh LOL and i'm sorry if some of the audio/video transitions between the parts aren't that smooth, but since as i mentioned my hard drive broke in april 2017 i lost all my files from the previous years and i had to get all these parts back by cutting them out of my own mep collections that i downloaded from youtube :/ it was an annoying process
ah, and i'm sad i couldn't include some things due to the songs now being blocked 'cause of copyright :(

...im (not) sorry, im having an otp moment ok
given that the two previous videos i did with this pairing were both some kind of vent, which i did because i was upset and therefore quite angsty, i decided it was about time i did something with a different vibe :)) i got this song in the spotify recommendations and immediately thought of them lol i had a lot of fun editing, even though i did struggle a bit at one point. im very satisfied about the coloring though!
lets just say i have a lot of time on my hands atm, since as you may know theyve suspended pretty much everything in italy, due to this virus outbreak, and all i can do is eat, sleep and edit cause university, the gym, cinemas, museums... everything is closed. hence the frequent uploads ¯_(ツ)_/¯
PS: special thanks to MintoCherry who gave me motivation to edit otp again with their comment on my previous video 💖

its been more than one year since i last uploaded a mep part by itself rather than in a collection, but ive worked so hard and for so long on this one that i just had to lol when i tell you i spent almost one hour just to make that flower jump like that..... plus all the masks i had to do............. bye
so i waited for the finished mep to be up, i did that poor excuse of an intro in five minutes with stuff i recycled from the part itself and here we are haha the very fact this part was finished in the end is kind of a miracle, since when i was almost done with it i had to send my laptop to repair and it stayed there almost three weeks 🤦🏻♀️
i always say this, but i still havent got over my problem with editing colorful stuff so this was A STRUGGLE. i was extremely inspired for this part though because when the signup was posted the moment i heard the lyrics i KNEW that i wanted to try joining and that i would use yuri on ice... the scene of viktor banging on yuuris door in one of the first episodes went perfectly with the chorus and if i hadnt asked for that part i would have regretted it for the rest of my life haha all considered i did have fun, even though as i said it took quite a while before i figured out how to match the colors without making everything look like a mess :)
lastly, id like to thank the leaders for letting me join the studio! dorkus seems like such a fun group to be in and im looking forward to all the future projects 💖
PS: the mep came out SO GOOD?? no words honestly, ill be replaying it everyday until september at the very least

third sk8 video in a row? yes sir
long story short, a couple of days ago this song came up in my playlist, its quite popular but i hadnt listened to it in a while, and i suddenly realized that its literally joes theme song?? so now everytime i see his face the song starts playing in my head and i absolutely had to make a video lol
it had started as a serious edit, but once i had the idea of synching with the beat that scene where cherry kicks him in the ass i laughed so hard that i had to sprinkle some comedy in and i think this made it so much better haha he acts all smooth and playboy-ish, but hes a meme especially when paired up with cherry 👏

this is possibly the fastest raw video ive done in my life?? i was working on something else entirely and this song came to mind out of the blue, i thought about it for a bit and then realized how fitting it would be for this pairing. i had all the scenes already set up in my mind, and all i had to do was place them in sv. so that part of the editing process went by at the speed of light, then i kinda slowed down while doing the pan/crop, effects, etc. but honestly there was no struggle at all. i guess this was one of those blessed moments where inspiration truly hits haha
the idea of the video is: hiyori kept his feelings for ikuya hidden throughout all the years theyve known each other, and when haru suddenly comes back into ikuyas life hiyori is jealous and hurt. he tries to confess, but hes rejected. so he regrets not speaking up sooner, wondering if things would have turned out differently in that case, but now its too late cause ikuya has been taken away from him ¯_(ツ)_/¯
i sure loved making this look like some angsty love triangle lol i mean, IT KINDA IS. but hiyori and ikuya belong to each other, i just like hurting myself sometimes

you could basically call this a cure for the other sk8 the infinity video i posted last friday haha that one went hard with the angst and pain (like we arent experiencing enough in the anime itself already), this one takes the complete opposite direction! i tried to go for a lighthearted happy mood, but also emotional at the same time? this song popped into my head randomly about two weeks ago, the original plan wasnt using it with sk8 but here we are. and i regret nothing, because it fits their young love/crush dynamic so nicely 🥺 to the point that i got so invested that after i was done with the scene selection yesterday i ended up rewatching the video like 10 times before going to bed and smiling to myself lol i hadnt felt this happy while editing a video since 2016 probably
maybe someone watched my stream two days ago where i was cutting clips from every single episode in preparation to this video, i hope all that hard work payed off 💕
PS: one day ill also do a video about cherry and joe because those two 100% fall into my favorite shipping trope and i love them (plus i have a song in mind)

ahhhhhh i cant believe this is finally finished ohmygod
i was starting to believe that this video was cursed lol so, i started this on january 8th or something along those lines, cause i finished playing danganronpa v3 on january 2nd and i REALLY wanted to edit with it. ive been listening to this song a lot lately and i thought the lyrics would be a good match for ouma, with all the mind games thing LOL talking about ouma btw, he was kinda getting on my nerves for the majority of the game but then idk what happened? basically hes probably the drv3 character i love the most now, or at least one of them (other ones being maki and keebo, but also gonta, korekiyo, kaito, rantarou, ahHH I BASICALLY LIKE EVERYONE IN THIS GAME). at first it was meant to be some lazy fast edit, as you can see from the beginning that is basically black backgrounds + typography, but since i was being really fast somehow (i think i edited the first 15 seconds in two days) and i was enjoying the process i progressively started putting more effort into the project and began animating, messing with particular, creating sceneries, etc.
as you can see, many parts are inspired by the game itself, the main one being the nonstop debate bit with the truth bullet which im actually really happy about and that took three hundred years because i had to go look at videos of trials on yt and re-create all the stuff on-screen XD but it was a lot of fun!
i had a lot of ideas for the video tbh, so that wasnt really an issue, even though at some point i had about 5 seconds left and got kinda stuck so i took a 3 days break and didnt work on it at all. after that, my AE started acting up SO BADLY, maybe you even saw the stupid video i posted the other day where i was complaining about it, but editing was seriously impossible :/ in fact i had to tone down everything a bit for some parts and not go for what i was originally planning just because adding even more stuff to the project would have meant actual death for my computer :( and still, look at the rendering time :) https://prnt.sc/i2mynh this is overall the longest non-raw video that i have ever edited, so i guess i was not used to having this many layers and obviously it was too much to handle for my laptop as well
anyway, id like to thank everyone who gave me suggestions about how to deal with all these technical issues, it did help a bit in the end so without those i would have probably taken another week to finish / dropped the project XD
