Hi hi everybody! It's been quite a long time since i last posted on here.
Apologies, but i've realized that i simply won't be able to post extremely often for the time being. Things are quite busy for me and it comes down to whether or not i have the time or motivation to make/post something. I will be posting when i want to.
I have one more edit in my drafts that i could make public quite soon too, maybe even later today.

Anywho! I want to wish you all a (late) happy new year!
I hope this year will be able to bring some peace and clarity to us. Perhaps things might start to slowly improve this year.
Personally i have some ideas i'd like to work on later this year, quite excited about those ^^ Some of them will likely be coming in summer, when i have more time ;3
At the moment i'm just trying to get through things.

My idea for this edit started i think a day after, or the same day i first found this song. I quickly started to like it! So another Cryoshell song that was an immediate ''yES'' to me :D
My first thought was that this song could fit Xiao! The lyrics remind me a lot of him. But then i figured, what exactly could the ''we're closer to the truth'' lyric mean for Xiao? And then i thought... Albedo! That could fit Albedo. And since i love both of these two, i wanted to make an edit including both of them :3
I wanted to try something a liiiittle bit different with this edit. I wanted to focus on the clip selection and the lyrics, and the flow between these things ^^ I tried to make the clips fit the lyrics more as opposed to just thinking of the flow between clips.
This edit has a mini-story to it, which i shall add at the bottom of this description!
I chose to make the effects quite simple.
Ooooh but but! I did try some new things too, such aaaas, making an animation in Blender for this edit! :D I attempted to make a brain- XD a rotating brain owo Had some trouble with the brush settings so i couldn't get any rougher lines on it, but for a first attempt it could be okay!
I used AE for some text effects.

I've actually had an effect idea like 0:09 (the twixtored zoom in on Xiao) for quite some time now, but now i finally found a project that i wanna use it in!

I'm very happy that I got Xiao too~
Currently i'm taking a break from Genshin, and i'll briefly come back to get some more primos and maybe, possibly get Kazuha, and then i'll definitely just, take a break. I'm already starting to move onto other things i wanna do ^^ Genshin is fun, but i'm quite tired of it now ^^''

Welp, i don't wanna tire myself out with writing, so that will be all ^^
I hope y'all enjoy this, and i hope you all have a good and safe day/night!

Story:
Xiao and Albedo are struggling due to loneliness and not being able to find the truth (of the world), respectively, and they continue to search for what they yearn for in their respective regions - their homes. Whether their searches will bring them doom or clarity is unknown, but despite it all, they choose to stand tall against the moonlight, and brave the blizzard's frost.
