this was actually a bit of a challenge. there's just a wide array of songs to select from. in addition to choosing eight songs for all the categories, i also included my favourite lyrics in each. and i also cut 'instant crush' quite short because i've been meaning to get this song unstuck in my head (':

(2 out of 2 scheduled videos bc I'll most likely be out with family today)
This is the part where I do a little almost end-of-the-year reflection but I think I'll save that for later. Sorry I haven't prepared anything special. It feels like I broke tradition but I just didn't have time to nor inspiration to edit anything extravagant :(

(also would be better to view at 720 bc converting from blu-ray to a readable file really destroyed the quality ;-;)
This video has been scheduled to go up by the time we leave to go on vacation - which basically means I'll be separated from my laptop for a whole month or so - this is just to somewhat maintain that spike in activity in my channel. I'm not here right now.
Anyways, prior to watching the movie, I've had no knowledge of what the plot was (aside from the very brief synopsis about the main character and his inability to hear piano music) so the entire premise was a surprise for me. Overall, I'd say the film was quite decent. I didn't feel like there was something missing at all. There were mixed reviews for this movie in general as well, both from those who have seen the anime and/or read the manga.
I think one of the only aspects that could've been improved upon was the romantic plot between the two characters. It honestly didn't seem romantic at all at first (not that I minded - I enjoyed the whole somewhat platonic-somewhat romantic-completely ambiguous relationship they had) but then again, two hours doesn't seem to be enough time to cover every single aspect of their blossoming relationship, so that's understandable.
But hey, if you haven't watched it, I would recommend you try it out. You may like it, you may not, though this is coming from someone who, again, didn't really watch the anime nor read the manga so good luck!

If you're an avid reader of descriptions, then wow you're in luck because this one is going to be lengthier than the usual since I have a lot of ground to cover. You don't have to read this, by the way. Most of it is just me rambling anyways but feel free to if you got some spare time in your hands.
First of all, thank you so much for 1000 subscribers! That was actually my goal for 2018 and I'm glad I was able to achieve it almost halfway through the year! That's insane really! I wanted to apologize for the not-so-sudden decline of RvB AMVs in general, too, knowing that a majority of my subscribers are RvB and Halo fans in general. I repeat this time and time again, but it's mostly due to lack of inspiration, or the song that I wanted to use has already been used several times.
The first video on this channel was actually uploaded three years ago. So in three years time, I was able to garner this much attention, which just boggles my mind. Especially since I'm not as active as I (sort of) used to be, this is still such an accomplishment and I still can't believe it. And although xvirtual wasn't my first YT channel, I'm most proud of its content (in comparison to my previous channel) mainly because of how far I've come in terms of editing style.
If you were expecting an action montage though, I'm sorry to disappoint. But I will have a more upbeat (but still angst-filled) AMV sometime soon (before I disappear for a bit since I'll be gone for the entirety of July and early August). There will be scheduled videos though so hopefully those go through.
This AMV also doubles as a birthday dedication to my brother (haha fitting, am I right?) whose birthday lands on the day that I scheduled this video. Lil bro, I know you know what my channel is so don't even hide. Honestly, you're going to be forever nine years old to me that I forget how old you actually are. I know you're somewhere in your mid-late teens now though, right? And I know you're going to keep nagging me to try out Halo because I watch RvB, but I swear I'll try it out when I actually have a better set up. Anyways, you're growing up now, and I know we don't always get along, and that I always push you around, and sometimes you're a little shit but you're still my little brother at the end of the day, and that's really all I could ask for.
I think that just about does it for the rambles. Once again, thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed this video!

I've always wanted to do an edit for the character that's making me want to buy FE Fates. So here is a not-so-seamless loop edit of the waifu Azura. I have this scheduled to upload on my birthday since I'll be away for that particular day - actually, for the whole week, now that I think about it (hopefully it goes through and doesn't ... accidentally publish it right now)
also, as you can probably tell, I got lazy (and I lost inspo) towards the end whoop
AND since I'm so close to 1000 subscribers, I also have something in store for that

Keep up the good work! Remember to take care of yourself though. Don't overwork yourself. Take well-deserved breaks! Stay hydrated! Eat well!
I'm honestly the worst when it comes to expressing my support for and motivating people. Hopefully this video sums it up haha
I was looking through my sketchbook and decided to compile some of the line art I've done over the last few years (with reference of course because let's be real I'm not exactly an artist lol) So, basically every drawing but the earth one (I got that off a clip art site, shout out!) has been hand-drawn by yours truly - scanning and re-tracing was the tedious part of it all, truth be told.
Special shout out to Amy (rxtrogression), Crystareo, and Iovis - good luck on your exams! You got this :D Also shout out to Emi for being such a hardworking, dedicated subber. Bless your soul ;-;

Okay so truth be told I actually haven't been editing as of late - mostly due to school but also because I've just been too focused on other things. In fact, I've been so distracted that I completely abandoned my "21 weeks to 21" edit series of sorts on Instagram. I may have also just completely abandoned instagram in general rip
So have this edit I did a while back (inspired by delosis's Until Dawn GMV)
I might also upload the short edits I did on IG here as well.

AND HERE WE ARE LITERALLY THREE DAYS LATER
Happy New Year Everyone! Here's to a better 2018 With that being said, I wanted to end the year with a little RvB tribute.
Yeah, I think I was supposed to be all sappy and whatnot but I literally just ... forgot what I was about to put here.
OH, right. also I have instagram now if you're interested. I can't guarantee that 100% of my uploads will be RVB (or consistent, for that matter) but yeah, I'll occasionally post an edit here and there every now and then

So, this video was supposed to be a birthday gift to Jeremy (and should've been done and uploaded on the 18th of October) but school got the best out of me so here we are two months later. Happy late birthday and Merry Christmas!
(also shout out to emi and iovis because they never slander me like jeremy does)
On that note, I'm slowly but surely getting back into editing, although I haven't really edited anything as intricately as this one since the end of summer (which was months ago) but I've been sort of playing around with the program again so hopefully I could upload some mini edits before I disappear after the holidays again.

I know I don't usually post videos on here unless they're AMVs but I feel like this is something that everyone needs to talk about, regardless of whether or not you're a fan of Shinee or even just Kpop in general.
I don't even know where to begin. When I heard about his passing I was just shocked. I just couldn't believe it. I honestly thought it was a hoax, but then the confirmation from SM just solidified the truth for me, and that was that. He's gone.
I actually used to listen to Shinee a lot when I was in middle school, especially since a friend of mine was also a huge fan at the time (I think she still is but I don't really know for sure since we don't really keep in contact anymore) and both of us bonded over them. One of my favourite songs from their first album (or at least one of their first albums) was Jonghyun's solo Hyeya, which is a Korean cover of the Spanish song Y Si Fuera Ella. The stage performance of Hyeya in one of their concert DVDs (which is also in this video) was even better. From the raw emotion seen through his facial expressions, to the stage props with the cuts to a music video and all of the blood, it was just perfect. I quickly fell in love with that performance and, to this day, it's still one of my favourites of all time.
Just hearing about someone suffering from depression all this time without anyone else knowing is just so tragic. I can only imagine how ... lonely it must have felt, how alone he truly was. How helpless he seemed. Music appeared to be his outlet, maybe even his cry for help. It's pretty apparent with several of the songs he had composed (for either himself or other artists). And it's just heartbreaking. We can't deny that there's still some stigma surrounding the discussion of mental health, especially within the entertainment industry, like being depressed, or anxious, etc. isn't real - even though, obviously, it is. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.
He may no longer be with us, nor be able to compose and write amazing, inspirational, and encouraging songs, nor perform on stage with his band members, but he'll never be forgotten. He's left that big of an impact on a lot of people out there, and I'm honestly so proud of how far he had made it, though I wish he was able to hold on a little longer.
정말 수고했어요 You've done well, Jonghyun. Thank you.

Yeah ... I held off this video for waaaay too long just cause I ran out of inspiration. Also, this is the one of the only times I've actually ever dabbled with non-animated clips, which is a good change of pace I guess.
On another note, I wanted to dedicate this to Crystareo. Heyo, bud. I know you're going through a lot but trust me when I say that I got your back no matter what. I just don't know how to express things in words, maybe because I feel like saying "I understand" or "I got you" is just ... not enough I suppose? So hopefully this video kind of encompasses what I'm trying to convey. I'm not even entirely sure if these are groups that you stan, so sorry in advance if they're not ;-; I wanted to incorporate a little bit of VIXX as well but their MV's aren't as angsty oof. I'll make it up to you one day!
Anywho, I should still be on hiatus because of school. I just thought this would be a good break since I haven't edited in literally months - last thing I edited was the KnK AMV, and that was last August and I needed a little bit of practice so I'm sorry if this isn't the best. Hopefully the sentiment overshadows that at least haha
Oh, one last thing - if I'm a member of a studio of yours, I'm sorry if I've been quite inactive. I literally can't find the time to interact with people as I have other responsibilties to tend to that sort of get in the way of me attempting to socialize. I try to make use of what little free time I have by working on personal projects (editing and other irl stuff) to ease my mind a little bit.
Yeah. I seem to ramble a lot when I'm waiting for videos to upload. y i k e s

A full-length AMV normally means I'm going to disappear off the face of the earth for who knows how long until I come back in the winter time because of school - so, this is a little farewell before my activity level on YouTube drops (but I'll still be participating in studio MEPs!)
Where do I even start with this video? Honestly, it took me about a day and a half (including the hours in between where I would procrastinate and mess around in Discord for a while) which probably answers why the effects and transitions are a mess (trademark) So this is, by far, the fastest edit I have ever done. Ever. Of all time.
Speaking of that reference, I should have a Red vs. Blue video some time (and by some time I mean in a few months) in the future to celebrate 700+ subscribers. I seriously can't take you all enough! :D
ALSO just going to quickly plug the artist of the song. You should definitely listen to Day6 because their songs always make me emo haha If you did enjoy the song, you'll absolutely love their music. I can guarantee they don't disappoint! I wasn't sure if I should've just put the English translation in closed captioning or just put it in the video - but I may attempt both if I don't get lazy with cc.
TIME FOR QUICK SHOUT OUTS (subject to change)
Shout out to the bro Alannis who had to endure listening to my reactions when I first watched this movie. Also please don't judge me for not using an English song (jk I know you wouldn't) You're finally getting the well-deserved two weeks of a break before school starts again. I hope we at least get to hang out for a bit during that time yo. Love you bro :D
Shout to Emi for leaving me on her own Discord server :feelsbadman: COME BACK PLEASE I CAN'T MANAGE A SERVER WITHOUT YOU DAFUQ Anyways, thanks for the shenanigans! I wanted to dedicate this to you too since you seem to be a closet weeb but not-so-closet cause everyone kind of knows already rip. I figured you would enjoy this one at least :)
Will eventually add a thumbnail later if I don't forget

First off, I wanted to say thank you for 600+ subscribers. Holy smokes! I'm so sorry my uploading hasn't been (and probably never will be to be quite honest) consistent. I was supposed to upload a more upbeat video which I tried to finish last night but I just ran out of inspiration.
So, that leads me to the second point which is this video. I had this video among my files for a while now. Maybe since around March. This was actually more of a vent video because well, sometimes life is just unfair, you know? I will avoid going into detail since I would prefer that part of my life to be kept away from the public. I'm just not the type of person who opens up about that at all haha.
But honestly, rewatching the video a few months later, I have you guys to thank for - for making this horrible world bearable, for never failing to make me smile, and for always providing such good feedback and actual constructive criticsm. And of course the usual fan theories which I love reading!
I also wanted to say thank you to the members of Schnee Dust Studios (and people from SiAADS in general) for maybe unknowingly always brightening my mood. I always get a kick out talking to you guys, whether it would be on the group chat or on the voice channel. It's never a dull moment when you guys are around. I know I don't show it often or maybe at all but I appreciate every single one of you. I sincerely mean it. Even when I'm in such a bad place and you're unaware of it, it's nice to have people like you all to be there regardless :)
Once again, thank you all! I'm slightly straying away from the usual sort of action-packed montage videos. But I hope you still enjoy the video! :D

Ahhhh, I hit the 500 subscriber mark! First of all, I wanted to thank every single one of you. Honestly, all the encouraging comments and feedback you all take the time to leave keeps me going. Even when I'm at my lowest of points, where I'm devoid of inspiration, I'm somehow still able to find a sliver of motivation to finish a video or compile a collection of MEP parts because of you all! I couldn't thank you enough.
And second of all, thank you for the comments (and messages) during my hiatus. I want to say the conflict has been resolved but I think the problem itself is also on hiatus (if that makes any sense). Nonetheless, here I am again! Ish. Just ... struggling with inspiration as per usual.
I wanted to do the usual Red vs. Blue tribute to highlight such milestones (as I've been doing) but I also wanted to incorporate FX into my usual raw tributes. I think I started this project before the third part of the Locus, Felix, Siris trilogy so I was unable to finish immediately because of the lack of clips. So, this is the best I could come up with afterwards. It's rather short but I hope you all enjoy it still!
As you can probably already tell, I worked waaaay too hard on the typography. Oops.
I also decided to give third party plugins another chance which definitely helped speed up the transitioning process, in contrast to before when I would keyframe every single shake and zoom, etc. War flashbacks ooh boi. I might stick with it, I may not. Depends on if SVP decides to act up like before.
Here I go with the rambling again. Scroll back up and watch the video! Once again, thank you. You're all so awesome.
P.S. Are you guys hyped for season 15 next week?! (Because I AM)

It should almost be about a week since I declared hiatus status. I had all of this planned and spaced out accordingly. Good job me for being on top of things (for once)
This is just a collection of MEP parts I consider my personal favourites (hosted by individual people, not including studios - that is going to be a different collection!), meaning not all the MEP parts I've done will be included. But as per usual, you can check out the full MEP's I've taken part in in the playlists section of my channel!
This is going to be an extensive list of information so here we go! I tend to keep things as detailed as possible so that all your potential content-related questions can be answered just by looking at the description box and scrolling through this sea of links to find what you're looking for (as opposed to waiting for a response from yours truly, or none at all because sometimes I don't receive notifications for your comments)
It's also March 4th (the only date where it's also a sentence, to quote John Green)!

This is what I was able to come up with when Avery (xretrograde, formerly blve) wasn't around for who-knows-how-long. Maybe even too long, for that matter. So, this is for you, Avery!
Avery, if you're reading this, I just wanted to say that I'm thankful that you feel safe trusting us with personal struggles, and that, I too, was in your position at one point. It resonates so hard in fact, I wish I could run across the other provinces to where you are, and give you a massive hug. (Ha, get it? One of the lyrics in the song reflects that perfectly) Because you deserve it, honestly. You deserve to be appreciated and loved for everything that you've done for us thus far. Sorry if we stress you out sometimes. That's really not what we intend to do (Except for the puns. Those are inescapable I apologize). This sounds so cliche but I know you can overcome all these hardships. Even if it doesn't happen instantaneously, you can and you will conquer anything! I believe it! (I was about to make a pun here but I'll spare you this time)
I'm typically not the kind of person who gushes out her feelings like this, but it just needed to be said. We do appreciate you for all your efforts! And this is quite fitting, considering it's almost been a year since we all officially got together as a studio (in conjunction to the birth of Schnee Dust Studios). So, on that note, thank you!
Why does video editing make me so emotional? Ha, we'll never know.
On a different note, this is the second (supposedly the third but I had to take the first one down due to copyright issues) RWBY video on this channel! I find editing with RWBY so challenging sometimes, just because I feel like I'll never measure up to all the other RWBY editors out there. But here's to a successful attempt, I guess!

This video has been unlisted for who knows how long. Maybe too long. I just have so many feelings about the Dark Era arc and these two in particular.
I also did this for Odazai Week! (which I believe begins by the time I've published this video) I will have this queued since this covers the "death" prompt which isn't until the 6th day of the week.

Reuploaded because I'm an idiot who shouldn't blindly tamper with the video manager. HD is still your best friend though!
Here is the link to Vimeo if the video is unavailable on mobile (this is starting to become a reoccurring dilemma and I apologize in advance):
The quality isn't as good in Vimeo as it is on Youtube so I do recommend you wait until you have access to a desktop to view the video!
This may or may not be a sign to stop procrastinating and actually do finals revisions. I honestly have no idea what I even had for my description last time but check out FFXV if you can!

AU where Yang has both arms. Jk. Is this even an AMV? Who knows.
This is a Bumblebee/Bumbleby (not entirely sure which spelling is correct) Secret Santa gift for Tumblr user geoffsarmtattoos! (Chris, if you're reading this, scroll back up and watch the entirety of the video for the message at the end :D) I hope you enjoy!
In case you didn't know, this was heavily-inspired by the indie game Emily Is Away (of course, a little bit modernized) which you should definitely give a shot if you haven't tried it yet! (Although prepare for a boatload of feels) This is also the first time I've done something of this style. And who knows? Maybe I might consider making more of these in the future? (Possibly a prequel? Ha. ha)
Merry Christmas everyone!
And if you don't celebrate Christmas then happy holidays! :)

P.S. Rewatching this now several days after it was uploaded - I just realized the dialogue is so cheesy oh god /cringe/

Merry Christmas Eve! Or happy holidays if you don't celebrate Christmas! Have a somewhat early Christmas present from me to you! (And possibly one more for RWBY lovers tomorrow if I am able to finish it at all)
This is for all of you who have patiently-waited. I sincerely hope this is satisfactory. Filled with angst as per usual. I just realized that this video explores more of the freelancers' perspectives if anything because more freelancer love!
If this was too angsty for you, I recommend you wait for a few more days (hopefully before the new year) for a more light-hearted one.
Well, the video is now processing so I guess that's my queue to disappear for a while. Enjoy the video! Happy holidays once again!

This video project has been on hold since last March - mainly because there were some parts of the song where I couldn't find the appropriate clips. But I have FINALLY found the missing puzzle pieces and here is what I was able to yield.
It's been a while since I made a full-length tribute, so here you go! I hope you enjoy!

First of all, I wanted to say thank you so much for 200 subscribers! Wow, to think it felt like I just reached 100 not too long ago. Every view count, every comment, every like, and every subscription truly means so much, and I won't be able to thank you all enough for the support!
I kind of wanted to do something special every time I hit a milestone but I have no idea what to prepare. A Q&A perhaps? If this seems interesting? Or song recommendations for future projects? If you have any ideas, please let me know in the comments! :)
This was inspired by a Tumblr post of a Borderlands AU with these characters - thus why the little "character introduction." So, shout out to Tumblr user the-meta!
Another quick notice, since school is about to start again, I still have quite a few videos in store that I have yet to release (and video projects that I have yet to actually complete, most of them being long overdue) so be on the lookout for those in the near future maybe.
Once again, thank you all so much! I hope you enjoyed the video!

This is a reupload from my previous account - which explains why the watermark is different (that's my previous Tumblr user/URL actually - fun fact)
I haven't been working on some projects as of late (oh noes) because I've been too distracted with work and Pokemon Go. And also, my internet has been incredibly slow. Lame excuses but hey it's the summer time! Might as well enjoy the amazing weather before winter takes its toll again.
Have some more angst-filled York and Carolina while you're at it, since there's not enough to go around.
But I am in the midst of finishing two or three videos so be on the lookout for those as well :)

I was planning on uploading this a few weeks earlier but I decided to do it today because it's my birthday! :D Also, this was heavily-inspired by the Locus tribute I did previously. And I wanted to try out masking styles! (which obviously failed but you know, at least I tried)

Exam month has concluded, which means Red vs. Blue videos are now back in session. I still have multiple project ideas so be on the lookout for those. This video was done in less than three days, mainly because I haven't done video edits in a while, yikes
Also, I check the tags every time someone reblogs this on Tumblr. (Nonetheless, every reblog and like is greatly appreciated and contributes to the motivation for more videos in the future! So thank you!) Here are a few of my favourites:
dumbspacemarines - "this made me ship locus and wash fuck me" imladris-soldier - *legit cries about Locus forever* lieutenant-private-pahomo - "this is lowkey lolix and i s o b" jtech21 - "someone who hasn't seen rvb explain what you think this is or it overall is about" (about to do this to my friends now actually)

First of all, thank you for 100 subscribers! Secondly, this is that video I was referring to when I said I had a special for this milestone.
Inspired by a majority of the comments on the previous Felix video who say that "FELIX MUST BE HOT UNDER THAT HELMET," which I think is 110% true.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I MADE THIS BUT YOU KNOW, ENJOY I SUPPOSE. And thank you once again for 100 subscribers. You all rock!

P.S. I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE USED THE SAME CLIP TWICE SHHHH (but none of you seem to have noticed, excellent!)

*Please be warned, this video contains quite a few bright flashes.
Guess who's back?( Momentarily, that is)
So I owe everyone an explanation in regards to the lack of activity in this channel, eh? Well, first of all, I had to part ways with my computer after it broke down literally after I uploaded the previous video LAST YEAR. Also, my main excuse is University - it keeps me on my toes to the point where I sometimes struggle finding time to actually eat and sleep ;-;
Although I do lurk around here everyday, since Youtube is my number one source of entertainment, video editing is a different struggle. Trust me, I have a long list of video ideas - some of which I had to cross off the list since looking for songs for Red vs. Blue that haven't been used proves to be incredibly difficult. However, I also have several video ideas outside of RvB, too! BUT I just never have the time to execute them at all. I will do the BEST I can to find time to video edit!
But then again, I'm all for the whole "quality over quantity" idea - so if you want better content, it will take a considerable amount of time. In the meantime, since I'm currently on a one week break from all of my education-related responsibilities, let's all pretend that I never even left. Enjoy the video!
- Frankie
P.S. There's a little surprise if you watch the video all the way through ;)
P.S.S. This is the first time in about a year that I was able to edit - with my computer going bye bye and all. Not too bad, right? This project began as a tribute to Felix and Locus, but then it eventually expanded and now spans across the different characters such as Sharkface, Aiden Price, and even Donald Doyle.
P.S.S.S. If you read the entirety of this description box, sorry you had to go through it. But have a cookie :D

[AMV]xvirtual2015-05-23 | "when you feel entitled to a sense of control and you make decisions that you think are your own"
I have so many conflicted feelings about this character. But I know for sure that he's definitely one of my favourite Red vs. Blue villains. Of all time.

If you were wondering why Equozo has the same video on their channel, it's because they may or may not have uploaded this one from my previous channel (which I accidentally deleted whilst managing Google+, along with the rest of the videos in that account) Yikes. Although, based on how they also blatanly copied the description in the original upload word for word, it's safe to say that they had stolen the video. What can we do though, eh?
I originally finished and uploaded on February 2nd, 2014!
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
I finally finished catching up with Red Vs. Blue and it was incredibly epic! All the plotlines introduced in the beginning of the series all connected and made sense by the end of it. (Although season twelve is on the works so we'll see what happens next!) It inspired me to do a little video compilation on it. I've been thinking of doing one for a long time, I just haven't gotten to it. But here it is! :)
This is the first machinima-based series and probably the longest video I have ever done. (kind of proud of it, all that jazz) I tried to include all the characters in there, but I might have missed one or two... or maybe a lot, who knows. If you're into science fiction, comedy, machinima, an overload of feels, amazing storylines/plotlines, Halo or any combination of those, then you should definitely watch Red Vs. Blue. You won't regret it.
