HD + 60FPS Are your new best friends!! =D
FINALLY!!! My big celebratory animash for all you lovely loyal, new and old, friends/subscribers who've helped me surpass this 5,000 milestone here on Youtube! *Whoo-Whoooo!!!*
I've been editing for 6 years and never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined I'd have THIS many people following and loving my videos and sharing this love for these incredible animated movies xD
What a journey... and ya'll are so wonderful and I am so thankful for you guys and your support!! It means the world to me reading your comments (Even if it doesn't seem like I respond to everyone like I once was able to before) and seeing what an impact they've had on you. I just hope this particular project illustrates that appreciation enough, ahehe. THANK YOU AGAIN!! I LOVE YA!!!! ^_^
~~~~~~~
Now about this video:
Technically, I reached 5,000 subs back in April, on the 17th to be exact, but you know b-day gifts came first, and editing in general has been a struggle, so it got delayed to say the least.... BUT MY WORD WHERE DID THE MONTH OF MAY GO???
This was pretty much all done by the end of April, however I was not completely satisfied with that crazy cocaine-esque effects style I was creating from 1:35-1:52. I'm still not satisfied. I wanted to blow your minds with something cool and unique, but I'm sorry, I am sucked dry on inspiration right now. I've been tweaking and changing it on and off the past month....this is the best I could do. Its done. Hope you like it. *crosses-fingers*
The main object with this was to balance a raw vs high volume of effects style.....I don't know if I accomplished this or not. This song was played in the end credits of the movie, A Dogs Purpose. (Oh was that a heavy movie for dog lovers! *cries*) and sitting in the theater I knew I must go home and start editing a video to it. (Do you realize how many "Home" themed songs I've used over the years? Man I am a major home body, lol!) Youtube severely degraded the quality though; some of the movies don't even look like they're in HD :/
As for upcoming projects: There is a collab in the works! (Thats been in the works for months. You know who you are if you are reading this buddy! *winks* ;)
Some vent vids which are kinda the only thing I relate to doing these days to be honest...
Ah and I've also been sucked into a new fandom, a LIVE ACTION fandom, I've snubbed for years but have ultimately succumbed to being a hopeless fan for ever, muhahaha! I want to edit vids to it soon since it has been a comfort during this rather depressing year.....Oh gosh, I can't believe this time last year I was homesick in Scotland! I'd give anything to go back now.
*Sighs* Okay, believe it or not, I really don't have very much to say in this description. I'm kinda struggling to find words here.....But very few even read this far down, ha. So thank you all so much again, and I hope you like this video! *waves* ;)

![HTTYD~Bells Of Christmas *Special*
Ohh this video is to celebrate a momentous occasion.... Yes, for this magical time of year we call Christmas, but also my very 1st vid EVER made WITHOUT WLMM!! I never thought Id see the day! I FINALLY made a vid with Sony Vegas [12]!! Ahhh, Im soo excited; I already know what Im getting for Christmas, lol ;)
Footage: How To Train Your Dragon, Gift of the Night Fury, Riders of Berk [episode: 3]
Song: The Bells of Christmas by Loreena Mckennitt (From The Santa Clause movie soundtrack)
NOTE: Picture at the end is NOT mine! IDK whose it is; I found it online and thought it was too cute ;)
Sooooo, do you guys see any hope for me in Vegas? I mean its obvious a Vegas noob made this.(For those of you who do not know: noob is a term common in gaming given to new or inexperienced gamers. Or the kind you like to play against, lol ;) I missed some timings and probably overdoses on the lighting/glow effect in spots, but Im going to say this just once.....I ♥ it! :D It was so much fun playing with all the toys in Vegas; the possibilities are unlimited! Anything you imagine it can do (If you know how).
I must thank my good friend WhispertheWolf for sharing the frosty border with me; I think that is extremely cool! I have one more Christmas project Im making for you all on my Vegas trial (If I get to finish it in time). Also as mentioned up top this is from the Disney Santa Clause movie with Tim Allen. Ohh gosh that is like a timeless comedy classic at Christmas time in our home....all three of them, Hehehe ;) Now that Ive gotten into all kinds of music since HTTYD I had to check it out this year and make it special. I think its quite magical (:
Im including the lyrics here since I had to look em up to make sure I was following it correctly. Have a Merry Christmas Everyone!! =)
In the silence of the night
When the snow lies soft and still
You can see a magic light
And hear the ring of Christmas bells
Though the night seems long and dark
It is the earth just gone to sleep
The stars that dot the sky above
Hold you in their precious keep
So close your eyes and come with me
The Christmas bells will lead you home.
Now with song we fill the night
While magic dances in the light
To wish you now and all the year
The joy that comes with Christmas cheer
Hear our voices fill the air
To drive the winters cold away
And so our hearts with all will share
The love that comes with Christmas Day
The love that comes with Christmas Day
The Christmas bells will bring you home!
I also wanted to dedicate this vid to my dog Genna (pronounced Jenna) who died tragically two years ago (2000-2010, year of HTTYD) today (Christmas Eve). I was going to make it more official and include a picture of her but I decided to make it more subtle down here since its so personal...only for loyal friends or people who care to read all my description. I still miss her very much; feels like it was 5:30 am THIS morning and I wish she could be with us in our new home. It troubles me more then death itself cause idk if Ill ever get to see her again in heaven. HTTYD~Bells Of Christmas *Special*](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fjLX02wfQ6A/mqdefault.jpg)


![Top 3 Animated Movies 2016 [TAG]
Alright, its up finally! Already Mid-January...geesh. I was tagged by the lovely thefanvideoer2 who started this tag and I just think its a wonderful idea that needs to become an annual thing now among all of us. So what are YOUR top 3 favorites??? ;)
2016 was a smorgasbord of incredibly GOOD animated movies which is one reason I REALLY enjoyed 2016. Since there was so many it was hard to show just 3 so I did a little runners up thing at the end but its just a one time thing, no one has to do it if they dont want too. I wanted to keep it under 5 mins so this wouldnt be unbearable long.
I was kinda waiting till I saw Sing before I uploaded this to give it a fair shot....Im glad I did, because it was very good IMO. Story + Heart = ♥ =D *giggles*
I Tag (I honestly didnt know who to tag cause some were already tagged and others just arent around anymore but your it again anyway......ONLY if you want to of course :)

Now I hope you watched my top 3 before reading any further because I wanted to explain WHY #1 was #1. *shoos off* Go watch!
Zootopia was a very close second, I LOVE IT, especially going to Scotland and all!! But Finding Dory is special in a different way. Finding Nemo came out when I was just 8 years old, and I thought it was the greatest, state-of-the-art animated movie at the time! I mean it was THE BOMB in 2003 and I lived it up in every way, and the story, the characters were on-going puns and it was just such a classic in my home growing up. (It was my favorite Pixar movie till 2015 with Inside Out).
Fast forward 13 years with Finding Dory, at 21 a lots changed. Oh Ill always be a kid-at-heart when it comes to animated movies, but as you get older you loose that original child-like wonder in how you view the world - not necessarily with just movies - that makes certain things memorable and meaningful at that age. Thats not entirely a bad thing, it just means you understand things you couldnt before. You know like, maybe those parts in a movie where the adults were all laughing and the kids are looking back quizzically? But you have a more critical understanding of the story and characters that makes movies, especially animated movies, harder to enjoy. (I hate to say it but its true).
I think Finding Nemo/Dory made me realize that more easily, but thank goodness Im an animation nerd and Finding Dory was such a positive sequel. It probably helps my expectations were exceedingly low, but even the story in itself I relate to more now than the 1st (I guess being an only child with doting parents like Dorys).
I cant honestly say I like one over the other since they were each at extremely different times in my life. The age-gap makes them so unique, for me personally, but I have the feeling Im not the only one who has that same connection.
Alright enough deep stuff that hurt my brain, but since this is all about movies, I think I forgot to mention in my last vid that I FINALLY saw Star Wars Rogue One, New Years Day in IMAX. I couldnt take it any longer when I heard Carrie Fisher passed away. (Im still saddened by that whole loss) But OMG THE MOVIE WAS SO GOOD!! I knew it would be but man the visual effects, story and characters was so DEEP! OH and all those SW easter eggs killed me too; I would have never predicted that bittersweet ending. And I mean, BITTER, all bitter with a smidgen of sweetness on the very final scene. (You guys that seen it know what Im talking about right?!?) Oh that was like the cherry on top of a DARK chocolate sundae, ahehe. And I mean dark, it was a hard movie to watch but really good in a great way, ya know? (You probably dont, lol!)
Now that Ive seen Rogue One and Sing I can say farewell to 2016 since they were the last two films on my rather long watch list, LAST year. (;

![Mσαиα ✿ нαωαιιαи Rσℓℓєя ¢σαѕтєя Rι∂є (ℓιℓσ & ѕтιт¢н)
As you can guess, I am super super, SUPER excited to see Moana this November! *Whoo- Whoo!!* (I know, I say that on nearly every new animated movie that comes out each year dont I?) What can I say? Animation is my forte. It give me LIFE!
And since the Lilo &Stitch soundtrack is probably going to be everyones first choice in making vids with Moana I wanted to get a song in from it right away, ahehe. SOMEONE, already used the song I was originally planning on using - Im lookin at you ACMusicVids. And you did a marvelous job with it too!! *winks* Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1UJ1LsmfP0
Soooo, I am just totally blown away by the beauty/animation/visual effects of this movie so far. *LOOK AT THAT WATER!! Look at her hair and the wind, dust, lava, EVERYTHING! (There was one shot, at 0:29, I thought was real for a second the first time I watched it!) Ya know, I bet the animators just cried when they 1st heard the plans for this movie and the amount of sleepless nights theyd be working on all those properties......theyre probably still crying - tears of joy - at how drop-dead gorgeous the outcome looks now. Ohh my and Moana herself has such fire and determination I love her and her story is so intriguing to me!
I cant help but laugh at how Disney went from the snowy mountains of Arendelle in Frozen to a tropical ocean paradise with Moana for their next Princess movie. Such an extreme climate change. Speaking of music, I have equally been on edge awaiting its soundtrack too! (*whispers* Mark Manacia!)
............
About this vid: Now, I definitely didnt do the greatest of jobs on this project, especially with the VOs, but I really didnt want to take pains with it. This song was just too happy for me working on last week. Though its KINDA cute, I think with the kids singing and the amount of little kids in Moana so far. I also like how it allowed me to have a literal connection with the water because its almost like the ocean is a character in itself in Moan. At least in my opinion... just thought Id point that out.
Anywho, since Im on animation. I cant believe the volume of em this year: KFP3, Zootopia, Finding Dory, Secrete Life of Pets, Storks, and theres a bunch more still like Angry Birds or Kubo; these were just the movies I have seen so far. ( I wanted to see Ice Age 5 but never got to ;(.
I did in fact see Storks last night with a friend and we just thought it was hilariously adorable! Im sure well end up seeing Trolls and Sing as well, along with Moana. Why is there so many this year? My wallet can only hold so much! (And this doesnt even include Live Action.) This year is definitely the most Ive been to the movies. *I LOVE IT!*
PS: Wow, this is my 150 vid. I didnt realize. I feel like I should have celebrated or done something more elaborate....oh well. My loss.

![[TAG] My Top 5+ Favorite Videos!
Guess who came back from Scotland in one piece?! Did ya miss me? I missed you guys! *warm hugs all around* Yeah, I came back on the 21st but I was completely wiped out. Took me a week to adjust and days more to go through pics/vids, and stuff you would not believe. Yes, I am also working on a vid about my trip I wanted to upload first but its not quite ready yet. Dont worry youll get to see and read all about it soon but for now lets stick to the tag:
So I got tagged by 3 people while I was gone to make this. Its more like my Top 16 favorites *cough* I thought it be a nice little thing to upload on my birthday. *Tadaaa!*
Im terrible at these tags because I can never narrow them down. I have a connection with each vid...some good, some bad, most a bit of both....and my favorites jump around. Honestly my favorite vid will be whatever project Im working on and by the time it makes it to YT I am so done with it. Though, my good friends should have not been surprised by #1; its my favorite song EVER (Phil Collins version I mean. And I got dibs for that song with HTTYD Trilogy!) Feels like I did one of these before, in my Vidders Tag, but that was 2 YEARS AGO! Hard to believe. Ive made more vids since then, but some favs never change....
#5) Hiccup-Shattered https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPvvYFebFaI
This is a favorite in terms of editing. Its one of the few that came out about how I imagined and so Im kinda proud of it. (There I said it!)
#4) Elsa-Who You Are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTpuwaWexhg
This is actually my favorite Frozen vid out of the 6 Ive made/uploaded. I love this song and how it fit Elsa and since it was a gift I tried to make the editing perfect! Its not of course but I really like how it turned out.
#3) HTTYD Universe-Marvel Mock Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwACKzPCbpE
A 5.5 min mock trailer. ITS ABOUT AS LONG AS THIS FREAKIN TAG. Yeah, I am proud of this one, enough said.
#2) Heather-Jolene https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=H_o2CKIk0LE
Now out of all 138 of my vids, this baby has become my MOST POPULAR vid, and what Im most well known for apparently. (A friend of mine found it on the Dragons Wiki. WHAT?!) Its the favorite in my family (mother especially), an ongoing classic pun with one of my friends, and for me, I love Heather and Dolly Parton. It was so fun making. So instant win!
Honorable Mentions
Animash-Take a Look Through My Eyes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixD49M9TVIg
So many of my favorites here and with my FAVORITE ARTIST! Its special to me because of the time in college. However I think I did a messy job editing it so it didnt make the top.
HTTYD-This is Our Land https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSCOv29I0KA
Oh this was my 1st instrumental I ever made! Plus this score is SO EPIC! I seriously want to do a remake of it with HTTYD2.
Riders of Berk-Fan Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgbXeaKEWaI
My friend, SerimonVids asked me to do this. I was so honored and he was so helpful and patient and forgiving. He gave me no restrictions on terms of creativity and I made it waay to long for a trailer, lol! It was a challenge though and Im glad I did it.
Star Wars- Heroes Will Rise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXa_yi4rro8
My first Star Wars vid! And it was for a very special friend too who loves the fandom as much as I do (;
Spirit || HTTYD-Utopia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEnwthUKe4o
Another gift for another very special friend. Love this song and these movies with it but think the vid turned out too dark (as in lighting/contrast).
Hiccup-Somebody to Die For https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBc757APAh8
One of my favorite Hiccup & Toothless vids I edited. The song in their sacrifice makes it I think.
Blood Brothers (Brotherhood/#NoogaStrong Tribute) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6erp7m5tP0
I definitely have a strong connection with this vid. The shooting that happened in my area was a great shock, and the brotherhood relationship is very emotional to me for some reason. And its also a country song, which is personal to my growing up and Luke Bryon is my favorite, ahe.
HTTYD-Sink or Swim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJdRVW3Z4bQ
Oh now this is a remake of the very first HTTYD vid I ever made. Very special and significant to me. (And the song is cool!)
HTTYD 1&2-Hiccups Comeback https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO3QnMUh_lQ
I love heavy, intense, editing with fast-paced, action songs. *period*
HTTYD2-Hero in Your Heart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6e0Geromkc
This used to be one of my top favs but I guess the newness of HTTYD2 wore off. But I still adore this TSFH song!
Animash-Try Everything https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66QiDx4bT64
AbsoLUTly riding high with this song from Zootopia and my trip to Scotland. This vid highlights my enthusiasm very accurately, ahehe!
HTTYD-Youll Be In My Heart- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7n-EULFMDw
I think people have heard enough times that they already know why this is #1. (; [TAG] My Top 5+ Favorite Videos!](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hT4azA-YuUQ/mqdefault.jpg)

Hi guys! Nothing special here; just a little MEP part for Katanna’s Dog MEP. (̶l̶i̶e̶s)
Meet April everyone!!
She’s:
A Labrador mixed, with love. (IDK what exactly)
Going on 3 years old this April.
Blonde with caramel highlights.
Golden brown eyes.
And the cutest curled up tail I never saw on a Lab before!
♦ Yep, that’s my doggy, my buddy, my best friend! My whole world since April 7th of 2013. Our neighbors sent a text with a pic of this lost little 6-7 week old pup next to a fire hydrant....all alone. I didn’t even know if we’d keep her; I wasnt even sure myself if I wanted to. Ive had 3 dogs in my lifetime + several cats so I knew all the responsibility that went along with that cute face of a new, soon to be BIG dog. Ultimately, it would be my choice to take her on or give her away since she would be MY responsibility. Let me tell you, that was the best choice I ever made in my life to keep her.
You know after seeing movies like How To Train Your Dragon, illustrating a bond between a man and an animal it makes a person long to know what that feels like. I know without a shadow of a doubt it’s a real relationship; not fiction, because Ive seen it, but I hadnt personally experienced that magical feeling of connection before. Nor was I necessarily seeking it because I have a firm belief such a relationship is not something you *knowingly* seek out to make happen. It seems to more or less unexpectedly choose you, by God’s grand design of things I like to believe. And to be sure I wasnt expecting it out of that chubby little pup; about to take away hours of precious sleep and time for weeks from me!
I can’t say it was “love” at first sight, or friends from the start because it wasnt; it happened gradually. Night after night house training, basic training, watching, feeding; acts working together and time spent together eventually blossomed into such a bond for me and April. But that’s what love is you know....a sacrifice, from your own time/wants/needs; a labor of love. I ♥ all my pets and I could easily fall head over heals for more because I have the heart of an animal lover, but not in the same way as I do April. She’s special. IDK how or when; all I know is I woke up one morning and realized how important that dog had become to me in my life. I make her happy, and she in turn makes me happy. April is the one thing on this earth that never, EVER fails in making genuinely happy in life, making me laugh, and smile ever time I see her. I thought all along she needed me, but it turns out, I needed her even more. http://33.media.tumblr.com/fbdfafbca9920056791c7460789a4c41/tumblr_nbh9drTIl91s7vpl4o4_250.gif
I had been reading a book a certain friend gave to me on how to make you animal happy, but I don’t need a book to tell me April is happy. She was BORN happy! That line, “You shine even on a rainy day” fits her description to a tee, and my inspiration in making this. I swear she is the most optimistic, carefree, happy-go-lucky, playful, people-loving pooch I have had the pleasure in watching grow up. (̶u̶n̶l̶i̶k̶e ̶h̶e̶r ̶o̶w̶n̶e̶r) SHE IS SO MUCH FUN!! Aprils even made up games to get me to play with her! Oh and as you can see she has OCD for lights. I mean ANYTHING that reflects anywhere she will see it, stare at it, and try to catch it till she falls over. So funny. (I’m sure you noticed in the vid.) Its hard to take pics or record her because my phone reflects sometimes, and she knows it, and will paw at me. Thats what she was doing at 0:04 btw. (I was aiming to get her to shake my hand, lol! Which she knows and did at 0:13.) Oh and she likes to “talk” too. Yes that was the VO (̶a̶n̶d ̶m̶e.) She speaks to me all the time like that. (Deep voice, no?) It kills me every time, ahehe!
AND SHES SO SMART!! The easiest dog I’ve ever trained...in fact the first. She is so willing to do what you ask from her and learning; a heart of gold that dog! I taught her a number of tricks + hand signals that first year. Part of why I love her, she puts her heart in everything!
Aww, I could go on and on about her but I’ll stop boring you. Everybody thinks they got the best dog in the world, but I know I got the greatest dog....and ya wanna know why? Because she’s my dog....same way your dog is, well, YOUR dog! :)
♦About this vid:
Well, YT once again has degraded my quality. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM YT?! *sighs* I made it real effective-y, and spent hours on that halo. Went all out in the pic ratios and text since it was an MEP part too. OH and I learned something new! How to animate text + virtually anything else. Here ya go Katanna!! :)

Well, I did it. A showcase of almost every project I did in class from each class during my 1st year studying ART/ANIMATION! (Now after seeing my work you understand what I meant about surviving).
*Please Note: This is not a professional reel or anything! It is just a record of what I did because I am a sentimental fool and its what I do. Most of this stuff probably shouldnt see the light of day....it sucks. To confess, I am trying to get over my fear of showing my work to the public. (Honestly posting online is easier than the years’ worth of public critiques I went through. At least I dont have to see or listen to you laugh at me here.)
Im only proud of maybe 4-6 things. 3D is more my strong suit and I am specifically majoring in Effects Animation. The way the SVAD program is setup though, the first 1-2 years is heavily 2D/Art focused. (Next year Ill get into much more 3D work; Im so relieved!)
I am curious as to if any of the fellow animation students who Ive heard from that follow me recognize some of this stuff and the Anim principles!! But if ANYONE has questions, please feel free to ask! :)
Now to break this down:
● 2D Art/Design:
This class was the 1st of what I call my weird classes. We did a lot of strange assignments in class, but the core of it was to learn craftsmanship and draw/think non-representational. You can tell what my state of mind was by the Metaphor project at this point.)
● Intro to 3D - This class was the introductory class into the 3D software: Maya! The main program used in the industry. (It makes Vegas look like Mother-Goose in learning.) Ahh, I loved this class! It was my only none drawing class that semester. My escape! None of it is in order. Everything I modeled/textured. (Except the Build Kit, that was given assets.) Oh and ya might have to pause the vid for the still life stuff...I was going with the music ya know.
● Principles of Animation 1: This class was by far the make you or break you course. And for someone who struggles at drawing - ITS DEATH!! (P6 with Dopey, crushed my soul!! OMG, I wish I could tell that story if the description would allow.) Needless to say, I did many, many, many, MANY resubmits in this class. Our year was the first to go completely digital so all animation was drawn on Wacom Cintiqs in TV Paint Pro 11 which is a digital drawing software. (Thank Thor too cause I could not have done this on standard paper flipping like old school. *bows*)
This class does open your eyes and allows you 1st hand to appreciate the 2D anim movies and wonder how they ever came to be. Seriously. To make one good drawing is one thing: But to do it over and over, and OVER yet staying consistent in volume/character is mad skills! (Reminder: 24fps = 24 drawings a second. My hand hurt)
Now these ARE in order. The P1, P2 stands for the Project # not principle. The Principles are in italics. There are officially 12 Principles in Animation but at my school, our Disney professor added a couple, so we had 14 Principles to learn.
● Drawing 1:
Just a basic College drawing course. Nothing special. I took it before at my previous college but they still made me do it again here. I know why....
● Principles of Animation 2: A continuation of what we learned last semester, only building on our skills. We [the class] spent the last month of the semester working together to make a 2D short film. We succeed! Our professor also squeezed in some 3D work, which made me happy, so we did 3D versions of several of our 2D projects.
● 3D Art/Design:
Now this was Pt2 of my weird classes, instead of drawing, we had to physically build it. I hated this class. It gave me so much anxiety; I never knew what to expect walking into it each week. There were 5 projects total but I only showed 2 here because: The other was my practicum final with the Moana vid, the others I can’t remember, lol!
● Drawing in Motion:
This class was the most helpful drawing class Ive taken. It wasnt easy (Though It may look it). The idea is to capture life/movement in the gesture, using energy, rhythm, and FORCE. (Yes, Star Wars puns were heavily used.) Surprisingly we had to memorize a lot of anatomy because my teacher believes knowing what/where the muscles are helps you draw them. He is right, I am not at that level of ability to do so pleasingly. For the final we had to make a humanoid character + skeleton + muscular system for them.
● The final class is my Effects Animation class!! This was a small Senior course but I am technically a Junior so I could take it early. I am so grateful to cause it was my favorite class so far! It was broken down into: Cloth, Rigid Bodies, Destruction, Particles, Hair, and Fluids. None of this shown was in any order btw. I can see myself doing this for a living though...particularly elemental or cloth effects.
Anywho, thats the story of my life during the past year. *falls face down in the mud* The Good, The Bad, and the Super Ugly (My 1st Year Art/Animation)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iKHsZBVHxoo/mqdefault.jpg)
