SO WHO ELSE BESIDES ME IS SHOCKED THAT I FINALLY MADE A FULL VIDEO, HUH?
I wanted to make something long and beautiful and meaningful the minute I heard this song. For those of you who don't know, I've developed a recent obsession with the latest young adult series known as The Hunger Games.
Long story short: it's about a fight to the death (at least the first book is) between children. The books are brilliant, fast-paced, and poignant, and address the issues of meaningless death. Many of the themes of The Hunger Games were on my mind as I edited this, and I tried to express that, both in the clips I chose and the song.
I tried to keep this both simple and yet still with an easygoing flow.
This is also meant in dedication of just a few things: 850 subs, Sammy, and Greaseh. xD I thought of all of you guys while editing this.
So anyway, please enjoy!

For those of you who haven't watched the anime, I apologize in advance for spoilers. But sometimes spoilers are good, because they prove that this is the most mindfucking magical girl anime to ever be created thus far.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica (also known as Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica) is one of the few things that's given me any inspiration at all, lately.
So I hope you all enjoy.

Well, you know me, always going for either the least or the most literal interpretation of something with no middle ground available. This year, I chose to apply the concept of Valentine's Day (a little belatedly, yes, I know) to not a person, but a place. Or a concept, really. Just Touhou, its entire broad universe of Gensokyo.
After all, there are different kinds of love, aren't there? Puppy love, passion, unrequited affection, familial bonds, love that changes over time. Generally speaking, however, the love you feel for a place is the strongest of all. Most of the time, that place is your home, but "home" is a relative term. Pardon my cheesiness, but "home is where the heart is," isn't it? Your true home may be a place you have never actually been to yet, but you'd know if it you saw it, I guarantee it. It's happened to me.
So here is your video, all nice and relatively long compared to the half-a-minute tidbits I've considered releasing in its place. Consider it tied with the little preview thing I uploaded awhile back, but with a completely different song.
Because laskjflaj, Dearly Beloved off the Birth By Sleep OST is the best arrange of it I've ever heard.
I think the storyline of this particular vid is pretty straightforward. It's an introduction for the average person on the world of Gensokyo. Gensokyo is many things, and consists of the following which make it simultaneously a place of wonder, tragedy, and amusement:
-vampires who long to explore the outside world
-a homicidal cherry tree
-a ghost-girl with a bigger appetite than the tree
-immortal feuds
-a goddess with some control issues
-a manipulator of boundaries with a love for causing chaos
-cat-girls, kappa, aliens, and Youkai Jesus
-trains that fall from the sky
-murder, suicide, intrigue, self-sacrifice, etc.
The best thing about the Touhou is that fans are encouraged to add to it as they please. For once, the canonical sense of the stories and the fandom versions are actually quite intertwined. And that, perhaps, is what makes it so enjoyable.
Hope you guys enjoy! Comments are welcome.

This is more of a...beta, than anything. xD I don't know, I made it tonight in a matter of hours, half paying attention to it and half not, and omfg, I loved working with some higher quality Touhou footage. In fact, if anyone wants Touhou clips to edit with, I'm considering uploading all my stuff to Megaupload and sharing my account with everyone. All these Touhou PVs are fanmade, but there's still some beautiful footage among it all, and I'd love to see more Touhou vids out there total.
Just PM me or IM me or whatever, yeah? : D
Anyway, this started out mostly as a Marisa AMV, because anyone who knows me knows that Marisa Kirisame is my favorite character from Touhou. Then I decided that I would focus on Marisa AND Reimu, as the protagonists...then I figured "Ah, hell, The Grimoire of Marisa focuses on a ton of characters anyway." So if I do continue this, it'll be about Marisa, Alice, Reimu, Okuu, Tenshi, Youmu, Yukari, CHEEEEEEEEEEN, Ran, Yuyuko, Flandre, Sakuya, etc.
This piano is possibly one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life. What, oh what, would I do without Touhou music?

Kay, so first and foremost I would like to recognize that because of Touhou's downright depressing lack of an anime (STILL. CURSE YOU, ZUN. D:), we both resorted to using a high number of Touhou fanmade-animations that would kill my brain to recall each and every individual one. I have no idea who made most of these, but we would both like to get across here and now that WE DID NOT MAKE ANY OF THEM.
Oh. And the Izaya animation I used in my part...I DID NOT MAKE THAT EITHER, THAT WAS DONE BY THIS BRILIANT PERSON:
Without further ado, I give you one collab we are both very proud of! As you can see, in addition to these Touhou animations, we also used one anime of our choice. Obviously I went with my latest obsession (Durarara!!) and Evi went with K-On.
And here's the result, proving to you that you can, in fact, mix anything up and get a good output if you know what you're doing.

Kay, so after recent examination, I've come to the realization that Durarara!! is the first anime I've wanted to watch so badly that I've actually made time for it, this occurring, of course, in the midst of a severe recession of free time.
I made this out of sheer admiration for the beautiful art and story (I'm only on episode nine so far, but nonetheless, I'm loving it), and the fact that I haven't really made a full-out Fray video till now.
...Well, it's still not full, but it'll do. I'd like to give credit to coggles101, whose beautiful Kingdom Hearts AMV did inspire me to use the same cut of the song, since I am too lazy for a five-plus minute video right now.
Check out DRRR if you can, guys.

No, but really. This is a...trailer, of sorts. I think. I actually just started this a couple of hours ago, and I LIKE it. xD That's the surprising thing, I really like the way it turned out even if it's only forty seconds long.
So, yeah, trailerness. For both a possible video I'm considering doing (xD And if any of you who love me--ha, not many I'm sure, but still--would like to collab with me to some of the songs I'm considering at any time, just PM me and ask for details, because I'm so lazy these days that doubling up is a good way to get me to work on something) and an MEP I'm planning that I KNOW I'm doing.
Mwahahaha Yes, an MEP. You know who you are, those of you involved in this, and I love you all.
:D So this is actually a pretty bad trailer for the MEP since I still think that's just going to be 2D...oh, whatever, just use 3D if you want.

WTF OMG HOPE MADE A VID THAT'S LONGER THAN TWO MINUTES?! YES. YES, I DID. IT'S EVEN LONGER THAN THREE MINUTES. : D
And I would have finished this last night, but, uh, some complications came up. So this is a Valentine's Day present for you, but not too terribly late.
xD And it's most importantly a Valentine's present for my Justinnn, because his was actually on time and because I am still spazzing about getting him hooked on Fires of Hokkai.
Ironically, although this is for VDay, I don't have a whole lot of couples in this (just YukarixAdachi, RoxasxFlandre, JimxMarisa, and AlicexVentus, that I can think of off the top of my head). Most of it is based on a "comparison" between characters.
Because some characters in the things I already like are scary-similar to Touhou characters. xD Even my couples have similarities in this vid, hence why I sneakily put them in.
I'm back from Hell for good, and hope to be able to edit a lot more soon. This video really didn't take me too long in and of itself, so maybe this is a good sign of things to come.
Hope you all enjoy it!

xDD Anyway. Thought I'd start my new year off with some new crack. This is short, but I'm thinking about making a little bit of a longer vid with the same pairing later on.
So. Yep. Jim Hawkins/Marisa Kirisame. xD Do not ask me how this came about, for like all my other crack pairings, it was inexplicable and mysterious. Also, lol-worthy.
This is also my first time being unable to really use a singular source of animation, even multiple cutscenes or something, simply because ZUN is a sadist and enjoys Touhou having no anime. For those of you who don't know, the girl, Marisa, is one of the most popular characters from the bullet hell shooting series of games, the Touhou Project, which is tons of fandom fun but very irritating for people like me who can't draw fanart, would suck at the games (see the object of a bullet hell game from this nice little screenshot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PCByukari140.jpg ), and therefore have to rely on entirely fanmade animations.
So, without further ado, I give you this cutesy little blurb of a video with Jimmy being subjected to the pimpness that is Marisa. I did not make either of the two Touhou animations I used in this vid, and I give full credit to their wonderful artists, wherever they may be.
(You guys have no idea how many lame puns I could also insert. Just remember, in life there are some things you just can't avoid. For everything else, there's Master Spark. -shot- xD See? Totally snagged that off Photobucket.)

COMMENTARY;
So. I recently disappeared off the face of the earth.
A very select few of you know why, and most of those even I've told after-the-fact. Suffice it to say I am miserable, and there is only the slimmest chance of me escaping this private little hell of mine any time soon. Otherwise, expect me up to my normal haunting of the internet by January.
I'm here at my dad's, checking stuff on his internet, which I can only do most weekends, rarely ever actually during the week. As I said: HELL.
In any case, and on a much happier note, I'm ecstatic to have found, quite to my surprise, that I have over 700 subscribers. xD Took awhile, mostly because I seem to have a knack for irritating people.
I wanted to make something...um...well...huh. What do I call this? Well, I suppose all of you can probably guess that I just finished re-reading Deathly Hallows all the way through last night, in full for the first time since it came out over two years ago. I have come to the conclusion that Voldemort is a SPAZZ and I sort of love him. Except for the whole "killing Lily and James" thing. That'll take me some getting over. But honestly, stupid Wormtail was so much worse...xD Voldy just cracks me up.
And Riddle's no better! Not only is he quite attractive (both actors, mind you, from both Chamber of Secrets and Half-Blood Prince, though you can probably guess my preference here...:D), but he launches into little hissy fits of attention deprivation. It's amazing.
Whatever; the more important part is that again Misora sufficiently pissed me off with her lack of clips, so I used her stunning resemblance to Tifa. More than anything, this video just goes for constant action.
And I wanted to use the song, so...enjoy. Thank you, everyone who's subscribed to me, because it really means a lot to me!

---
COMMENTARY;
Vid block's been going strong, with Wonderwall as the exception. Posted this up and I hereby dedicate it to GREASEH-WA because she and I have shared in a Harry Potter obsession for years now, most specifically the Marauders Era, and most recently, dear Severus Snape as well.
The Prince's Tale...;___; Re-read that last night.
Snapily is not exactly what I would say is one of my most fervent pairings...what I adore beyond all belief is the friendship aspect of it, pre-Snape's Worst Memory, but I do love the onesided unrequited portion as far as Snape's opinion goes.
I'm...not exactly sure what this video is. Um. Aerith has Lily's eyes. Really, she does. That's all I was thinking when I started this. Kairi is therefore young Lily (yeah, and I so made that black and white because she has the wrong eye color and her tie wasn't red and gold), and Aerith can be...well, I dunno.
Oh, also I was thinking that the fifth movie totally butchered Snape's Worst Memory into a ten-second-blur and didn't get the young-Marauder casting right at all, but ah well.
Make up your own plot, interpret it how you please! :D
...Please don't ask me about Half-Blood Prince clips, either. Search for 'em, you'll find them if you try hard enough. They don't really like my Vegas but at least they work, so I can't complain too much.

COMMENTARY;
Lmfao, too much Harry Potter for me. -snuggles the Half-Blood Prince movie-
Okay, but anyway, the birthday worm for Doylie is finally out, so I figure it's safe to upload this part. Though I'm certainly not entirely happy with it, even if the masking did kill me. x__x
xD I still say LyraxEdmund is just too cute. Lmfao. I want to see THEM fight in the train station in Prince Caspian, not Peter and those stupid bullies.
So anyway, we had to slip a hidden!Balthier in our parts somewhere, and as you can all see, mine is...xD;; Not so hidden. But I had fun finding a way to throw him in regardless, as well as the lovely Rinoa. No, I don't hate Rinoa, whatever any of you might have thought. .__. Just don't get me started on Xion. Or Cissnei. Alasdjfaosidfjaowiej.
Simple plot, basically follows up to the end of the first Narnia movie plus Lyra...xD And then some big huge fantasy world thing comes in, with a lot of my crappy masking involved.

COMMENTARY;
First and foremost, I would like to dedicate this to Momo, who awaited this so eagerly and gave me inspiration to continue when I otherwise felt like decapitating Joker and his oh-so-elusive hair.
This project has consumed me off and on for some time, has required experimentation with my Vegas Pro into the strange and unfamiliar world of real-people-masking. This world is sometimes an unpleasant place to be, but I feel it was well worth it in the end.
I gained inspiration from several of my favorite HousexWilsonxAmber videos in this. FPTRebirth's own One Love video was the obvious inspiration for me to use this wonderful song, so I thank her for being amazing.
This is indeed my entry for Scyppend's Phoenix Down round. I'm sincerely grateful for another shot at getting back into the competition, and wish the equally best of luck to everyone else in this particular round. (-cough-NONAANDSANNE-cough-)
Please watch in high quality to enjoy to the video to its fullest extent.
Note that this video places a severe spin on the events of the House season four finale, episodes fifteen and sixteen, also involving some ideas from the plot in season five's episodes twenty-two and twenty-three. Just know this:
1. House is hallucinating.
2. The concept is of self-loathing.
3. To follow this concept, characters such as Amber and the Joker play the leading role of House's subconscious.
The written plot was left purposely vague to fit the mood of the video. Whether or not you read the story, you should be able to keep these three things in mind with room to interpret your own ideas on the concept.

Dear Hope,
It's been a year since we've met,maybe slightly a bit longer.I remember I kept checking your account on your comments for the day we met,because I didn't want my present to be late.So,I started working on a video...and that didn't work out...and then another...and then another...And they didn't work out. xD But this one,I spent most of my time on.I worked straight-forward on it,without a block coming up and I'm really happy with the result.Hope,from the moment we met,I've never been ashamed to call you my twinneh.You've made me feel better when I was down,and sent my gut to the point where it was about to burst from laughing so much just by talking to you about things.We've shared loves and found that we actually came to love those things as much as the other twin did.We've sang sweeney todd songs that made people run away and ran after joker and jack while keeping johnny locked away for our own amusement XD Cheers to another year of friendship

"Carpe scrotum: seize life by the balls."
---
I'm back and sleep deprived! I needed a break, and tomorrow I'll try and update my profile to give a long, uncommon blog-like description of just WHERE, exactly, I was on this trip, and what happened.
And I come bearing you betas! I wasn't sure I ever wanted to show some to the public until they were finished, but...I have no self control.
Some of these will NOT be finished. READ THIS INFORMATION and I'll let you know which of them aren't really on the road to completion. Other than those few, I would love to hear you vote on all the others for which you would like to see finished the soonest. Know that I bask with a happy glow from each and every comment I receive, also, and would love to hear any personal favorites, thoughts, or recommendations from each and every one of you.
So, without further ado.
VIDEO 1: Decode - Paramore (WILL NOT BE COMPLETED)
Meet the original plans for RoboNami! ...It seems like this was done so long ago, but in all honesty, it wasn't. Just a few weeks before my actual Scyppend entry for Round IV, I think, that's all. Note the immense difference, huh? I had epic plans for it to be a huge NamiNear, and since I killed all the major Death Note villains in Rythmic Motion...eh.
VIDEO 2: Mouthwash - Kate Nash
An obvious desire for ZackxYuna. This file was done before the first, obviously on Movie Studios. I'm not sure if I'll finish it or not considering I now have clips in better quality, plus the style is hard to maintain.
VIDEO 3: Now or Never - Chemistry meets M-Flo
This was strictly to experiment with a new arrival of style, back in the Movie Studios days, and also came along as a possible alternative to a birthday present for Noezie-Noe. I would've thought up some plot as I went along, albeit, but it would still have included AkuRoku.
VIDEO 4: Viva la Vida - Coldplay (WNBC)
BEST VIDEO IDEA EVER I LOVE THE PAIRING OMG BUT I HATE YOU VEGAS. This one I love, love, love, love, in spite of how old it is. It came way before Mouthwash, it's so old, but I've had the idea for ages. Alas...Vegas ate my entire Golden Compass movie file and thus rendered the project as trash after the beta was saved, and I had to rerip the whole thing. I would love to finish it, but I'm not sure I could without starting entirely over. Still...maybe you can convince me to try. Also: Lyra totally owns Edmund at cricket.
VIDEO 5: Song name too long. Lazy.
Haha, and I'm back on the Disney streak! Plot seems somewhat self-explanatory to me just from this little beginning. Only...having known Ana back in her younger days, I think Jim would be more inclined to fret and sulk over the fact that she didn't remember him unlike Dimitri, not knowing she had amnesia the whole time. Silly Jimmy, that boy.
VIDEO 6: Heaven Forbid - The Fray
I have plans for Aerith at Princeton Plainsboro. Many plans, actually, that involve much havoc being wrought. Anyway, this is post-Amber-death involving sulky!WilsonxAerith, and her reparations to his friendship with House, as he is quite reluctant to forgive, and, well...House is House.
VIDEO 7: Not giving out.
SHORTLOL. Yes, well, if some miracle occurs in my busy summer, this will be my entry to Clover's contest, involving the now-infamous NamiNear, AND AlicexRoxas.
VIDEO 8: Wasteland - 10 Years
This started out half as a little urge in the back of my mind and half as a request video from someone with similar ideas. In other words: House vs. Joker, for srs.
VIDEO 9: Not giving out!
I thank Clover for the song inspiration in her contest advertisement! I find it amusing beyond words to put a House video to a conspicuously religious song. I enjoy conflict, have you noticed? Golden Compass and Narnia...next thing you know, I'll have House singing the gospel hymns. And he will promptly kill me. Aerith continues her reign of terror, this time as a sequel, yes, a SEQUEL, to JUMP IN THE STEP.
VIDEO 10: Into the Fire - Thirteen Senses
This one was the one I most debated on showing you. Some beta testers have already seen it, and know EXACTLY what it is about. I ask you all please not say. :D I want to know what the people who have no idea about it think, what image and feel they get from it, and if they can possibly read my mind.

So, um. I didn't want to come back from my break this soon. I still don't officially consider myself as back, persay, but...
I worried my friend, Vixen, and I entirely didn't mean to. It was a horrible misunderstanding and almost amusing in retrospect, but I still feel awful over the fact that I provoked that violent a case of worry.
You are still as brilliant and wonderful a friend as you have been from the very first, and I love you to pieces, my cyber sister. This video is dedicated to you, but because my brain seems to have died lately, plus I didn't want to waste more time in procrastinating since you deserved a present ASAP, I'm afraid I did not fashion it after one of your brilliant fanfictions. ...Everyone Bleeds took me like, two months, after all. So I didn't want you to think I wasn't sorry.
Instead, it's all a bundle of stories. Stories of all kinds, featuring characters of all sorts...Some of which are probably unfamiliar to you, but I hope you enjoy nonetheless.
To everyone else who has expressed their worry and care for me, I thank you sincerely. I still am not sure when I'll be officially returning--today, tomorrow, maybe months--but I love you all as well.
I know this song is already overused as the borderline depression signal of AMV's, but I just couldn't resist. Also, I'd like to give a shoutout to kheartsterra for a moment. In starting this video I had already intended to combine both versions of Shattered, but I watched her SasuSaku video shortly thereafter only to find it's been done many times before, and that she started it all. So, I pray you all know I was not trying to be an idea-stealer.
I really do hope this video reaches out in the way I'd planned. I've been on an extensive video block for a while now, and I can't seem to move past it easily. This video was the only one that began to flow almost quickly in pace, except that today Vegas was a total hoe and I had to take four hours to try and fix the issue: fixing the issue involving restarting my laptop improperly seven times, opening more Vegas windows than I can recall, facing the most horrible lag ever witnessed to mankind, only to find that I just had to rerender a new combined version of the songs.
So, um. .__. Please enjoy, for the very fact that I didn't smash my laptop into oblivion when I really, really wanted to.

xD Scott, I am sorry for stealing the title to your uber-awesome, eerily-similar series. I cannot determine which between the two is actually the happier midnight-roaming teenager-centric story, however. ...Persona might win, Scott. It just might. But Persona 3 doesn't have Dess, so it lacks something metallic and awesome.

[/Idioticblabber]
Okay, time for some new blabber. Dudes, I recently got 600 subs. While I was preoccupied and busy and hectic as ever with school and sicknesses (Note: I get sick chronically, normally when everyone else is healthy. I guarantee you all I will be the one to escape whatever swine flu comes around, but I am immediately thereafter hit with a migraine from hell.)
Anyway. Six-hundred. 600. That's like, 100x6, isn't it? Just checking my math. Okay, it's even more incredibly awesome to me because, hell, when I started out finally making vids on my channel, I never even thought I would get one-hundred.
I thank you guys so much for not even tolerating my crack, but enjoying it (most of you, anyway).
So, I've had like, a billion other video ideas as a dedication, but it's too hard to edit right now so close to exams. This thing, on the other hand, was whipped up in about an hour or two. Excuse the mistakes. ...:3 I kinda like it though. But that might be because it combines the best of two obsessions. Yay. (I would've done Persona 4, I swear, but the trailer for P3 was just more epic.)
So I am sorry it's not good enough to live up to your greatness, but I hope it makes you giggle! I'll get out some actual AMV's in the near future, hopefully with the arrival of my summer. In the meantime, enjoy! Comment, share, etc.--so long as you know I love you all!
There are some, however, that I would like to thank for recent assistance:

COMMENTS;
Hey, listen up! This is your icy clique-leader Shay-la speaking, and everyone knows that as I am the boss, you all NEED to listen.
...Okay, well, maybe I'm not totally the boss this time. Tally-wa, Zane-la, and I are making up the new bubbly triumvirate for this studio group thing, so you all better listen to them too.
We will be starting a studio soon in tribute to the excellent series of books by Scott Westerfeld, Uglies/Pretties/Specials/Extras, and we're going to need lots of members as you might imagine. But we haven't gotten everything up just yet, so I went on and released this neat little sneak peak to give you all a hint of what's coming.
Get ready for auditions, 'cause they'll come up soon. Don't worry; you'll have lots of time to figure things out for an entry, and we don't want to rush greatness after all. But it better be good. We better be impressed. We hope for some Special Circumstances, some Smokies to catch, and overall, proof of just how bubbly and/or icy you are.
We'll let you know when auditions are first going to be scheduled, so get ready to THINK, bubbleheads! But I suppose we better go on and let you know who's who already so you don't get too confused.
In no particular order, we have our triumvirate all set up as follows:
As you can see, without an actual movie made of Uglies just yet, we are using pre-existing video game characters from Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy in place. Here's yet another cast list to give you some ideas of what's already planned out for when auditions come around:
Not all characters have been totally planned out. We leave certain things up to your imagination, with such characters as Fausto, Croy, Ryde, Astrix, Maddy, Aya, Frizz, and other NAMED characters. Please don't go around using made-up characters, because that defeats the purpose of a limited, elite studio. It's totally sad-making.

o__O What the hell. My computer uploaded the beta of this originally instead of the whole thing. Stupid laptop.
LOL. COMPARED TO MY SCYPPEND ENTRY? I KIND OF SHUDDER AT THIS.
At the same time, I like it. I'm still experimenting with Pro and everything.
Okay, so I know the due-date for Disney Remixed isn't till the thirtieth, but now that I FINALLY got both movies, I just wanted to finish something ASAP, so this is just /barely/ over the one minute time minimum, with a bunch of crack and plot-skipping thrown in.
I was originally going to make this much bigger and grander but...I think this pairing has grown on me so much that I'm going to make you all a much longer video with a different song later on. xD When I'm not pressed for time and deadlines and everything.
Kay, so, love you all.

...-dies- xD I've come such a long way even from this sort of chroma keying, not to mention having recently gotten Vegas Pro thanks to Nona the Great.
Some of you might recognize this video from awhile back, so let me say it again...
This video is House/Naminé FRIENDSHIP. FRIEND. SHIP.
It was and is dedicated to Hazamalay-la, only YT claimed it awhile back and is a whore for doing so. It was so difficult to dispute then and I was so upset that I took it down, and the epic story that I had written on Deviantart.
xD The lame version is this:
Nami is House's latest patient, only she finds herself to be terminally ill and is at once frightened and angry and sad and House is determined to at least find out what the ailment is and they spend lots of time together and get to know one another and House can tell she's getting worse and then she dies. D:
And House does the autopsy at the end since he never did find out what was wrong with her...
xD I swear my written, thought-out story was far, far better. Oh, just use your imagination as you watch along.
For those of you who don't like this sort of thing? Go away. Don't watch. Click the little X in the corner of your window because I DON'T GIVE A CARE. I made this in like, a day and a half when I was really worried about Haz, okay? Bugger off, lamers.
xD And you can thank Doylie and Nono for reminding me that I should finally get off my lazy butt and resize this thing and put it into a better quality to reupload.

In other words...
"YOU BETTER BE HOME BEFORE DARK OR ROBONAMI WILL FIND YOU AND GET YOUUUUUU."
Sanne, ily. xD
EDIT: I'm sorry, YouTube decided to mess with my mind. Of the three different betas I uploaded on private while this was in the making, low quality WAS always the better option to see all the static at the beginning. Now that the whole video is done, however, YouTube decided high quality is just as good. xD You may watch in high quality if it doth please you.
Actually, I worked on this video so long and so efficiently that I truly did see static around my peripheral vision one night. It was trippy, yo, but it gave me a headache. xD I had to lie down for a bit.
This video spawned, most likely, from too much Persona. More than that, I had something else entirely planned for this round of Scyppend, the plan of which I have told some of you...in any case, the April 25th deadline seemed too much for this other project of mine. I did not want to rush it and thus slaughter the quality of its worth even further.
Thus, having already made forty-five seconds or so of this other project, I immediately thereupon gave it up and worked on this instead. U N Owen is officially the most epic of video game songs I have ever heard and having obsessed over various other remixes of this song for months now, I heard this remix one night and was struck through the Muses by inspiration.
xD I think I succesfully managed to combine Nami, Aigis, and the great Flandre herself somehow in this version.
I have to agree with Haz and a few others here--I think this really did turn out to be something great. It makes me feel good, knowing I can effectively change my style (xD I don't think I have a style to call just my own, actually...) in such a short amount of time. This is probably the fastest (timing-wise) video I've done since Rhythmic Motion.
Oh Nami, first you inspire NamiNear and now your own RoboNami existence? You silly girl.
;D Enjoy, everyone. I really, really hope to make it through to the next round of this incredible contest and am glad to feel that I have performed to the best of my ability.

COMMENTS;
Hi there, sillies! This movie is NOT out yet! No. Not even in theaters. Please don't eat me if you can't find it after watching this...xD
I just checked, though, and, well, IMDB I love you. Everyone, it says it's being released April 24th. Yes, this year. Let's dance! Because it looks effing AMAZING.
I mean, I thought Robert Downey Jr. did a good job in Iron Man, but then I saw this original trailer and was like..."Hot damn! The man is gold!" And let's not forget the lovely Jamie Foxx, aye? He's the central focus of the movie in the way that I have put Demyx here. You can't have the trailer look so appealing without one or the other.
In any case, I'm so glad that the majority of you seem to have taken a liking to this already. I wanted to get some attention for the movie, really, and the temptation to make a trailer parody with the movie was just too overwhelming. As soon as I found out from Noezie that she and Evi officially had other trailers in store, I decided I might as well cast my dice into Noezie's idea of a Trailer Triumvirate.
YES, I'M JULIUS EFFING CAESAR, HELL YEAHZ!
...Noooo...I'm not on crack...-clears throat-
xD Pfff. I don't want to be killed by any Marcus Brutus anyway. No thank you, leave me out, I'd sooner be Macduff. Or Malcolm.
Alas, I digress. I should post a cast list now, right?
---
CAST;
Axel - Steve Lopez, angsty journalist looking for inspiration.
Demyx - Nathaniel Ayers, all-too-optimistic street performer with a bit of a problem.
Larxene - (name not listed), the woman behind pigheaded male journalists with the full-time job of keeping him in line.
Xigbar - (Hope is not entirely sure about this so she's picking the most likely character name off IMDB) David, a helpful source of insight to Nathaniel's ways and yet unable to help him by himself.

Hello darling.
Don't touch that dial."

FAQ; (xD Yeah, like anyone's actually asked. Pfff.)
Q: WHAT THE HELL, HER BIRTHDAY WAS JANUARY 12TH.
A: I FAIL?
Q: Who's Noezie-wa?
A: A goddess in human form. She can be found for you to make sacrificial offerings of subscription at: www.youtube.com/user/KaitousWish1292
Q: What's up with all this damn masking? Does this even have a point?
A: Um. I had to enter a crossover contest. And I like crack. And it's a big channel-surfing blur of all the things media can account for, such as love, corruption, evil, entertainment, etc. ...So no, it probably doesn't have much of a point, but the plot's neat, right?
Q: Wait, what? I thought you had Vegas Movie Studios, not Pro! HOW did you mask at all?! TELL ME OR YOU DIE.
A: I have answered this in private comments many a time but never actually got around to putting in a video. I think. Um, I use a combination of chroma keying and cookie cutter that is masochistic and painful, so I'm a little dizzy right now. I would like to think I've improved considerably since I last showed my penchant for starting this style with The Call. I have tried to download Vegas Pro, but my laptop won't use the codec right, I think because of Vista. So I make do with what I have. xD This is why I appreciate comments on my masking when I don't have the real deal.
Q: What's the anim--
A: PERSONAAAAAAAAA. And it's not an anime, dearies. I mean, yes, Persona Trinity Soul is an anime, but it sucks hardcore. Persona 4 (and the bits of 3 I did add in at the end at a last decision) is the amazing, awe-inspiring game of a lifetime for the PS2. Call me blasphemous, but...um, I think I like it better than KH. Shoot me if you will. I'm just telling you, please, oh gods, play it first before you call me crazy. Look up the whole big Wiki page on Persona 4. It's gotta be my favorite out of all of them by far.

xD NOEZIE-NOE, YOU BEAT ME TO IT. But then, I guess, I am just a notorious procrastinator. D: I would've been done sooner, I swear, but any song at all poses so much more difficult than little trailers, and this was a full-length of three minutes and thirty seconds.
I know you haven't played Persona, but I wanted to give you something crackish. And with AkuRoku. And stuff. So, I really hope you like it, and if you don't, I will make you anything else in the world you so desire. :3

JADEN LEE, AIDEN OWEN, YOU TWO COULDN'T ESCAPE FOREVER. xD
xD Holy. Bloody. Hades. Grease is the ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD who will entirely understand all the backstory behind this. Shad, you might get references, but sorry, you are not 1337 enough to grasp the whole concept.
Nah, this isn't a beta. xD Or anything other than the product of my boredom staying home from school with bloody gums (-__-).
For those of you wondering (Ha! Not many!), this isn't some freaky NamixMisoraxMinato thing going on. xD It's my crackfilled brain using the characters to represent others again. All except Nami, who is still just...Nami. I have a valid excuse this time: these two characters are me and Greaseh's own creations. And we're just now getting to write a story involving them interacting together and...well. That's all you need to know.
I used Misora and Minato (Jade's a girl, Aiden's a guy, please get that through your heads) simply for their appearances, not so much their personalities.
xD I was not expecting Misora's hotel room to look like Minato's dorm lounge though. Wow. Stroke of luck.
So yeah. No more info for you.

Um. Pardon me. I have to sniffle. Because in keeping with Doylie's entry for So You Think You Can Vid, it seems that TsengxAerith has a tendency to make most vids turn out EXACTLY how you want them to.
This hasn't happened to me with a vid in a very long time. I am thrilled when I say I think this is my best entry to the Scyppend competition thus far. I am proud, for once, and I am exquisitely happy that I am done well in time of the new deadline.

Times are rough again. Most of you probably do not care, because, well, I am but one of many people with problems. Still, between a busy Christmas and family drama and losing friends, I haven't felt like myself in awhile.
.__. Also, I'm sick. Always happens on a break from school.
Anyway, this is a belated Christmas and early New Year's thing. I was going to do something else for Christmas but I didn't have a chance, because I then was whisked away to spend Christmas with my dad and didn't have proper internet most of the time. I will finish my original Christmas video though and upload it on New Year's Eve.
This is also dedicated to Hazzlie. We're growing up as friends, and getting to know each other a little better.

I love love love love love love love this movie. That being said, yes, I know it's a romantic comedy, yes I know that usually reeks of predictability. But it was cute, and there are a lot of points in it at which I could especially relate to, say, Maya, and so that is why I chose Definitely, Maybe.
Grrr. I hate the new and decidedly retarded YouTube widescreen. I really do, but I have conformed to it because it hurts my OCD in unspeakable ways otherwise. There are a few technical mistakes in this video, but I actually rather like the overall effect.
This is for all of you, because, nehhhh~, I bet you all thought I wouldn't do a sub-dedication in quite a while since I did one for 300. xD But I'm always happy to get more subs, because when I started out I thought I wouldn't get any whatsoever, and thus this is once again dedicated to all of you.
So, um. Keep being awesome. I hope you like this video in spite of a few little glitches because I find it gooey and amusing and cute all at once.
Also, I think I have violated some sort of code here. Is it even legal to make Cloud suddenly black?

...The masking on this was better than my Night World video. D: How sad is that?
Um, very.
Anyway. I'm entering this in the hopes of making it past round one! Which...I probably will not succeed in, but I am at least giving it a shot. xD I cut the song because my attention span was fading and I only had to make this over one minute. Perhaps I'm failing myself by not simply adding an older video that I'm happier with, but there is the little fact that most of my favorite videos have footage that isn't allowed.
THIS IS THE FIRST OFFICIAL RIKUxASHE VID ON YOUTUBE. HA. I WIN. Not that anyone else was competing, but what do I care? This pairing's been plaguing me for months. And it's all. Greaseh's. Fault.
The idea of this video is slightly based on Night World this time, though I did indeed warp it into my own plot. I mentioned the soulmate principle in my last vid, didn't I? Well. On with the story.

STORY;
Ashe has been wondering for her sanity lately. She's been so tired lately, and anxious, without any reason for it. And it seems that every time she closes her eyes, a strange young girl named Naminé is there to talk to her, when she herself would rather avoid conversation.
Naminé is a harbringer of fate and destiny; her words are not spoken by choice of her own but merely passed along as messages from some greater fate. She has taken a liking upon Ashe and decides to tell her in advance, that things may go smoothly, of what is in store for her. That is, the soulmate principle, an unbreakable bond between two individuals binding them as one. Once soulmates are united, they will never be whole again without one another.
It has rather the opposite effect. Ashe, ever the rebel, sneers at such an idea, and then becomes worried. Surely it is just a story. Such things don't happen in real life. People are never destined to be together; things just merely play out and break apart, as in an endless cycle. But then why is it that every so often in the corners of her mind, she feels a shiver, a spark, and just beyond her line of sight is the face of a boy she's never met before?
She refuses to abide by predetermined fate. Naminé is the anxious one now, knowing that when people fail to comply, tragedy strikes. Fate will do anything to maintain the upper hand.
Time passes. She comes across Rasler, who is kind, and good, and cares for her deeply. And against all her expectations, he asks her to marry him. Something warns her in the back of her mind, but she has grown to love him for his own sake. She accepts.
The wedding day arrives, and the country couldn't be any happier. In the midst of the celebration, however, she glimpses a young man watching. She is stricken with something like familiarity and something rather like lightning. All of reality floats away in place of an indescribable place where they are simply staring, looking at each other as though they have known one another for all their lives.
Ashe slowly but surely remembers she isn't supposed to like this. Rasler looks at her, wondering what has caught her eye, and snaps her back to reality. Riku has no more idea than she of what has just taken place. But then, he's never been one to follow any set destiny either.
No sooner has the wedding taken place than the following day, unexpected war arrives to Dalmasca, bringing whispered promises of ruin and destruction. Rasler rides off into battle--and is killed. Ashe can no longer hear him on the other line. She is heartbroken, and shocked, and utterly miserable. It doesn't help that the strange silver-haired boy is still on her mind.
Naminé watches from afar. Something like this was bound to happen.
Sure enough, the ruin arrives. Riku, bitter to the end that there are still things beyond his control, flies to see Ashe once more while she remains grief-stricken on her airship, as though futilely hoping Rasler will start speaking to her once again though all there is to hear currently is static.
The bond strikes between them again. Neither of them want this. They don't need this...
Some things are too hard to fight.

I wanted to get this out for Halloween...xD Ha, we see how that went, don't we?
I have not worked so hard on a video since Mirror Face. Not only that, but this is a LONG video, and it's not a Disney song, and it did require patience and hard work. x__x I want to fall over dead, I'm so happy it's done!
This is based, yet again, on a book, and this time, I'm hoping to get a good deal of attention for said book. Books. Eh, it's a series. The series being Night World, a compilation of stories by the wonderful L. J. Smith.
Do not mention Twilight here. I am past my limits for spazzing over Twilight; I was past them months ago. Twilight has become a big load of commercialized SUCKFEST now, so I choose Night World. Not least of all because all these books, save for the last story which has yet to be written, were published about twenty years before Twilight was even conceived.
To give you a better idea of what Night World is, the back of the first book, which includes three of the original nine stories, says this:
"Vampires, werewolves, witches, shapeshifters--they live among us without our knowledge. Night World is their secret society, a secret society with very strict rules. And falling in love breaks all the laws of the Night World."
I went in order with these three stories. When the next book comes out, I might make another Night World vid for the next three stories.
...xD God, I hope it doesn't take so much energy out of me the next time.
Know one thing I obsess over in the Night World universe--the soulmate principle. Soulmates are bound to one another through fate and destiny, with a bond that cannot be broken. Some soulmates experience dizzying sweetness upon their recognition of one another. For others, the intense emotions are too much.
There were a lot of characters I would rather have replaced with others, but all in all, I am damn proud of this. I mean, I'd have loved being able to use Matt from Death Note as James or Elena of the Turks for Mary-Lynette...
Anyway, on with the info!
---
xD There's so much to put here! I can't tell you all of it without exceeding text limits, so I'll set up a deviantart link to go in-depth with each character and in the meantime I'll give you the back-of-the-book summary for each story, as well as the entire cast list and references to soulmates.
"In 'Secret Vampire,' Poppy thought the summer would last forever. Then she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Now Poppy's only hope for survival is James, her friend and secret love. A vampire in the Night World, James can make Poppy immortal. But first they both must risk everything to go against the laws of Night World."
"Fugitives from Night World, three vampire sisters leave their isolated home to live among humans in 'Daughters of Darkness.' Their brother Ash is sent to bring the girls back, but he falls in love with their beautiful friend."
"Two witch cousins fight over their high school crush. It's a battle between black magic and white magic in 'Spellbinder.'"
A note on 'Spellbinder': The description doesn't do it justice, in my opinion. It's really more in-depth than some Sabrina the Teenaged Witch rerun. It involves not only that, but the accidental ressurection of a murderous ghost, and tells the tale of how vampires and witches originally came to be.

Please note that, yes, I was rather inspired by SPAZZLINGS' idea of video representation of a book. Her video of the book Redeeming Love is ah-may-zeeng. Go watch it.

Hope - n., the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best
Hope - The girl, up until recently, who almost became hopeless.
Um. I haven't been at my best lately. Those who know me may have seen a decreased interest from me within conversations, aloof behavior so to speak. For this I am sorry. I won't bore you with the details of my personal life, but rest assured that things are getting better.
I have always tried to tell Grease, Haz, and Shad what is wrong, though. So they probably know, and I'm glad I've had them with me while I've been so upset.
This video is dedicated not so much to a person but as my personal reenactment for a book. Looking for Alaska, by John Green to be more precise.
For a first novel, this book is eloquent, heartbreaking, and inspiring.
I decided against using text for this because it would have taken so much time and taken something away from the video for me personally. Also it leaves the video easier to understand for those of you too lazy to read my comments here.
I did cry during parts of this novel. But then, I sometimes cry quite easily. It's up to you if you decide to read it.
But I would recommend it strongly. I shan't give away any plot details, but those of you watching the video knowing I tried to represent key scenes of the novel should understand easily enough.
The back of the book describes it as such:
BEFORE: Miles "Pudge" Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole existence has been one big nonevent, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the "Great Perhaps" (François Rabelais, poet) even more. He heads off to the sometimes crazy, possibly unstable, and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed-up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young, who is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart.
AFTER: Nothing is ever the same.
