Bonus title: A Crack In Time go BRRR!

This one took some weeks, but i got it done :D
I started making this in the midst of replaying R&C: ACIT and this was my favorite song on one of those days. I started getting ideas that would be just pure appreciation for the look of the game and the gameplay, and something that would focus on Ratchet, too (also bc this is my favorite game of all time ^^) ^^ And so, i decided to use this song. Deciding what some of the clips should be took a little bit of trial and error. At first i used a scene of Ratchet getting out of his ship for the first clip, the ''rider'' one, but i realized that something there just doesn't fit.
I did immediately know that i wanted to use the zoni and gold bolt collecting cutscenes for the ''feeling like a demon'' part ^^
Speaking of that, in the first gold bolt clip, it's strange how Ratchet is all jaggy, even though i didn't change my internal resolution settings, and everything besides that was still at 1440p like it should be. It was somehow only that one area too, as the next scene i faded into, doesn't have that issue ^^''
But in any case! I wanted the focus in this edit to be on gameplay, the flow of it, and the timing of it to the beat using velocity ^^ And so, i wanted to keep the effects rather simple! I don't feel as if the effects themselves are really creative here, but i think the effect with the ''rider/buster'' text came out pretty cool.
Some of this footage i recorded before i got this idea, and other clips i recorded specifically for this edit.
I pretty much set the clips, set the velocity, and then left this project be for a while before adding some rsmb later, and then finally sitting back down eventually to make the effects, and those took about 2 and a half hours to do owo But still, editing this was fun, and i got into it once i finally sat down to do so again :3

Usually if i record gameplay for edits, i found that a nice way to make it look, nice, is to just rotate the camera like at one of those game expos XDD
And i was actually nearly running into the wall as i rotated the camera in that last clip, behind where it fades to black- XD

There isn't anything i dislike about this edit. i rendered this four times to ensure that i fixed anything i didn't really like, possibly :o i'm happy with the result ^w^
I suppose that is all i wanted to say! I really hope that y'all enjoy this and have a very good day/night uwu
