Aayyy! Now this is one i didn't think i'd finish, but here we are!
I started this one on a whim on some night 2 years ago, i think. I've actually been wanting to edit with this song ever since i first heard it 5 years ago! I had even started a YGO edit with this song prior to this one, but both this one and that one went into complete purgatory. As for this one - for the longest time, i had set the ''sugar or spice'' clips with the text and the little zoom ins and outs, i had overlays, and eventually i added the flickers there. That was it. Every now and then i tried to come back to this edit to add something, but i somehow felt intimidated by the effects i had already added. I added some more little clips two years ago, and tried to remind myself in my markers that i don't need to focus so hard on whether or not it looks good - i can just create. Aaaand that's where this project stood, until just 2 days ago.
This is one of the projects that helped me conquer editing burnout! I won't push myself too hard for future projects, just in case - but this one actually felt like a lot of fun to edit. I still really enjoyed making all the MEP parts that i have so far this year, and participating in the MEPs i've joined, but at a certain point, theeeeyy really piled up and, together with what felt like never-ending uni assignments, i felt really tired ;w;
What really helped me is thinking outside of the box when making this, and not worrying much about whether or not this looks similar to my previous work or not! Just purely allowing myself to go ''hey what if i try this, or that? i don't think i've ever used this effect before- YO WHAT IS THAT-'' and so on c:
From there, i kinda completely vibed and let instinct carry me! I wanted to focus on a grainy, sugary sweet yet dark atmosphere. Text looking like it came from a magazine, monitor camera recording or analog VHS recording. Perhaps a recording that is severely damaged and offset.
And in terms of clips, i wanted to focus on Sebastian's devilish and scheming side!
In terms of the overall style, i would call this heavy typography-styled c: I had tons and tons of fun making the text, it felt sooo good to experiment and regain so much joy for playing around with typography!
Oh! i also tried a new program for this video to aid in the creation of the VHS look - NTSCQT by JargeZ on Github. It's a VHS simulation program and i love how heckin' accurately it depicts the colors and compression! Massive shoutout to SolarisFox for showing me and others this one c:
Oh and how could i forget? The main reason i even continued this Particular project, and not another one that i started this year, is BC OF SEASON 4 OF BLACK BUTLER, BABEEEYYY!! ;DDD XD GOD i feel so excited to eventually catch up in watching Black Butler enough to get to season 4, the artstyle and animation is just STUNNING UWU currently still in the process of reading the manga tho, so i'm like, all over the place in terms of plot progress!
I'm overall super proud of this whole result, and i'm glad i was able to make this! If i had to name one thing that could be improved - in retrospect, i'm not sure if quite this much flickering was necessary. But i still feel happy with this work ^^
Well then! That shall be all for now, i hope y'all enjoy this, and have a lovely day/night! 💖 c:

So first off, I wanna say that this is not a shipping edit. I just wanted to make a video simply including these two, bc I think theyre both cute XD But if you wanna imagine this as a shipping edit - sure, you do you XD
Ive had an idea like this for a while now, but Ive just not been sure what song to use - until a couple days ago. This song was stuck in my head, and after a bit, I was struck with editing ideas. I quickly decided to make a video about these two characters. My first intentions were to animate pictures, but **nervous laugh** that would not have worked out, at least not this quickly XD Simply bc - low motivation XD
I was squeaking when adding the clips - I was trying to go for every clip to be cute, and judging by how I was already happy with the video without any effects, I think I did well with that idea ^^
I put the clips together in Vegas, and then did everything else in AE :3
Again, it was a lot of fun - as per usual when I edit in AE.
I went for a similar style that I went with for my first Aki edit, bc if not the picture animating, I thought that this fit ^^
Im just a bit worried about whether or not the coloring is too bright XD
I also wasnt expecting the video to end where it did, when I copied and pasted it, so it loops, but here we are XD
I was worried about what the result will look like, bc in the output screen in Media Encoder, the video looked very strange and different from how its supposed to look, but thankfully, the end result looked nothing like that ^^
Another very nice thing is that this took around 4 minutes to render :3
Soooo then, I hope yall enjoy this edit ^^
And I also hope yall have a good day/night! cx

AAAAAAAA I can hardly believe that another year has passed! OWO
To Katie:
Happy birthday, honey bun! ❤ I really, really hope that you have a fantastic day today, and that you enjoy this little gift x3
I wanted to surprise you with a video like this, because Im not sure if you would have expected a video with this media and song from me, but I remembered that you had sent me this song and I just knew that I had some inspiration for it, especially when you suggested just who the lines fit, like, the Mad Hatter line, for instance ^^
You are extremely wonderful, incredible person - Once again, I must say that I am absolutely blessed to have met you, and have known you for 3 years already! You have helped me feel better about myself and life in general, and I am honored that Ive made you feel similarly c:
Im also sure that you make other people, happy, as well! You give off a wonderful and very kind vibe, and youre super understanding!
I believe that we have both grown this past year, these past 3 years, weve learned new things, and I also believe that we will continue to grow as people!
You mean the world to me, and again, I wish you a really great day, with lots of gud stuff x3 I really hope that we will be together for years to come, and that our bond will continue to grow stronger ❤
I love you so much, honey! ❤
About the video!:
Oh howdy XD
I only started this yesterday XD
But heck, am I happy with the result! OWO Believe it or not, I got this done in only 3 hours!
The reason that I hadnt started making smth earlier was because of school, coming home late and whatnot, and simply not having as much inspiration to edit.
However, I recently got sick. So Ive been home for a little while now, and tbh? I feel like...this is life essentially giving me the chance to edit when I felt like I couldnt. I had to take this chance.
My first idea for a birthday edit for Sapphy was a Sonic edit with a WAR*HALL. It involved a style similar to, say, my Judai and Aki - VERY Nice edit, but, I scrapped this idea yesterday due to feeling like it wouldnt be good enough, or would be boring.
As I was making that edit, I was listening to this song here, and it was then, that it hit me, that I could try to make an edit with Batman media. Ive never edited with this media before, and perhaps, thats exactly the fact that helped me edit - the fact that this is something new.
The clips were all downloaded from YT, as I couldnt seem to find another download for the cutscenes, and I wanted to make this download process quick. Thankfully, it was, thanks to my internet being fast.
Then, when it came to editing, I was a little scared that I wouldnt like the result, but that thought quickly changed.
The coloring you see here, I made yesterday, while simply experimenting. It wasnt even made for this video - I had tested this thing out on FFXV clips. Its also heavily inspired by a coloring in one of seravhes edits!
Speaking of being inspired - the typography here is also heavily inspired by another one of seravhes edits.
This was also the first time I had tried out the Universe plugin in an actual edit. I seriously like this plugin! I mean, a VHS effect and a glitch effect without having to do extra work? Im sold XD
Anyways, editing this was super quick, as I had a lot of inspo. It was also very fun! Im surprised I could put this much effort into a project made this late, and this quickly.
Honestly, Im very happy with this whole result ^^
Im aaaalso super happy about the fact that this only took 5 minutes and 45 seconds to render! Even less than my previous edit took.
So then!
I hope yall enjoy the video :3
Im posting this when it isnt even the 22nd for me yet, but it is for her, so here we have this! XD

*slight flicker and color changing warning*
Woooo!
Im also proud of this one x3
So a while back I saw a buuuuncch of edits on insta (and yt!!) of Gojo in this episode of jjk, and, honestly these edits were in the back of my brain throughout most of the next day then XD I downloaded this ep specifically to edit these scenes too bc they are so COOL, and id already made a quick edit of him previously, but for this one!! i felt more inspired and I wanted to give it another shot :3
So I suppose this is my addition to those edits ^^
I instantly vibed with this song after hearing it in one of the edits I watched, and I really wanted to use it too x3
My very first idea with this was to make something of an infinite looping comfort edit for myself! Wasnt sure if I would post it, but Im feeling happy enough with it to do so :3 This video also loops as a whole, video and audio-wise X3 The colors dont really match by the time it loops, but oh well!
I threw this together during some of my free time and it was really fun to make x3 It was a smooth process in general, and I really got into the flow of it ^^
I wanted to add this many loops to hopefully maintain my level of effort throughout the video, and that worked! And to make the loops a bit more interesting I changed smth up in each of them, mostly colors, and some other little things.
I nearly felt too lazy to do the slides near the end of the loop, but i managed to do them!
Woohoo I used different fonts this time around :o
Also a part of making this was me going ooooh right i had this idea!! and oooh what if i do this??? *does it* OOOOH! XD
...ah I forgot to do most flashes and blurs owo oh well owo
I guess I also kind of intentionally made this more like the edits that you see on insta, bc why not ^^
To make a note, no, i did not make this at 5 in the morning owo
This only took about 28 minutes to render which is great, considering that, most of my render times now are at least 40 minutes for effect heavy videos ^^ Then again, most of this is a pre-rendered loop, but yea ^^
I feel like these edits made me like Gojo even more and now im in a bit of a troublesome situation where I still dont entirely want to continue watching jjk, but at the same time i do bc of Gojo, i- XD
But yes! I really hope that yall enjoy this, and also have a very good day/night ^w^
