King RedeemI returned to defend my Iron Chef title at AX this year, but Tasha pulled out all the stops and created an AMAZING video, defeating me!!!! It took the judges a lot of deliberation to decide the winner, and in the end it was very, very close. I am so proud of the videos Tasha and I were able to pump out.
Also a special shout-out to Rider and Maboroshi for creating one of most ambitious intro AMVs EVER with a super creative twist. DAMN YOU JOEEE.

Then I remembered years back in Anime Boston 2016, there was this weird but vibey Space Dandy AMV with this Dan Deacon song. The edit and the song stuck with me after all these years... Midnight Gospel seemed like a great fit visually for the song so I decided to try something offbeat for Pro with a psychedelic-type video.
It came out pretty different than the stuff I typically edit... but I had a lot of fun messing with some new effects I hadn't touched before. I went back and tweaked some stuff after the deadline... wanted to give it a bit more love for the final release since it was rushed at spots. Hope you enjoy watching. Stay safe and healthy... love ya'll.

Originally, i came up with the cheeky title so i figured some fun lyric sync would make for a silly video. But in the end, the sentiment got to me, i think it shows in the editing. Sorry about the poor source quality, Croc Hunter footage is hard to come by. i miss steve :(

The theme this year was "Celebration of the Gods" so I threw together a bizarre potpourri of sources to make a video in my usual mishmash style. Tried to make it a fun and charming ride

Rider and Tasha are both my dear friends so I was able to throw in some of their favorite things... I figured it would help ease their anxiety for the competition and make them particularly happy. First and foremost, this video is for them
It's pretty unconventional for an Iron Editor intro but I hope you enjoy

I really wanted to attempt another comedy, this time more ambitious. This month last year I released "Just Do It" and it's kind of crazy to see how far I've come in a single year. Honestly, I just try to learn something new with every video.
Many of the ideas in this video are inspired from some of my favorite comedy editors, including Drewaconclusion, Maboroshi Studio, Mycathatesyou, and shorisquared. I hope you're subscribed to them all already!!!!
I love Ninja Sex Party SO DESPERATELY, it was an absolute joy to edit this. I really hope you enjoy it too.

Originally made for Maboroshi's "F-Bombs for Charity" MEP at AWA 2016.
The Hit is my all-time favorite song from TWRP. I knew nothing could top Lazerhorse's official video, but I felt the CALL to sync Dan's sultry tones to one of my favorite anime from last year.
This video was originally slated for Level Up 2016 with Shin as my mentor. I had this combo floating around in my head for a long time. Shin encouraged me to give it a shot, so with his support I finally started. I took inspiration from Lazerhorse's FANTASTIC vid to use pixels as the effects theme.
Unfortunately, it took a lot longer to pull everything together, so I had to miss my target deadline. But I knew AWA Pro was on the horizon, so I buckled down to get it done for their contest. THEN IT WON???
I'm just a huge TWRP and NSP fanboy, this was a labor of love and I hope it puts a smile on your face.
ALSO my new CREDITS take inspiration from editor feedback on my ending 8)

In my head, there were two sources that could work with the trailer audio. One was Akira, the other was Paranoia Agent. Ultimately, I went with the source that I felt deserved a little more love.
I was pretty blown away to win best trailer at AWA this year. It was my first time competing and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process. The trailer category was VERY strong this year and I loved many of the mash-ups. GO WATCH THEM they're fabulous
