Please watch in HD if you can! ^w^

Behold, the project that I dubbed ''the 30 fps project that looks it's in 60 fps'' XD
Okay, but on a more serious note!
This began when I wanted to download some raw/hd footage of DMC4, buuut it ended up taking nearly an entire day to download. I needed to leave my laptop on for a night to let it finish asdkjas-
And then the next day, I figured that if it took that long, I should put the clips to use, and so, this happened. It's not like this idea was forced tho - I was looking through my playlist of songs/stuff I plan on editing with, and I found this. As I was listening, I thought it would be cool to make a DMC4 edit with this song.
My idea was a bit all over the place and nothing specific, but whatever I had in mind at first - the result turned out to be much better ^^
I didn't want to bother with 60 fps so I went with 30 fps ^^
Apparently I was also so excited that I ended up placing down nearly every new clip I saw in the cutscenes XD
And I was able to do like 93% of this video in one day, too! The only things I had to do today were finish up the effects on the clips from 0:08-0:11 ^^ (The text there was also done yesterday, and so was the outro ^^)
I also hope that the lyrics are correct bc I took them from a site with color coded lyrics, but on a color coded lyrics video here on YT, some words were different ^^'' Although, it seemed that I could find more than one source with the lyrics and translation that I used here, which is good ^^
Another thing I would like to say is that this took 11 minutes and 11 seconds to render originally which is pretty amazing XD However, after watching the result a couple times, I decided to fix a tiny thing in this video, since it took such a short time to render. I decided to add Twixtor to the b&w clip of Nero that appears near the end, where the first ''Mic'' comes in. It moved a little too fast in the original clip, like it just ''sprang'' into existence, even if I tried to slow it down ^^'' So that's where I took out AE, and after putting that little clip back into Vegas and copying the effects back onto it, I realized that the Twixtor was much needed! It looks so much smoother and better this way ^^ Also, fixing this made me realize that I made a little mistake in the outro - I left the word ''song'' unbolded while the rest of the words were bolded, so I fixed it, so that all four words there, at the beginning of the paragraphs, would be simply italic ^^
I also tried out some liiittle new things here and there in this edit, like brief new shakes, adding a glowing ''double shadow'', more brief rotations, a new way of making muffled audio, and trying to tie the effects in more with the sound effects that I add ^^
I want to also say that towards the end of making this, I realized something about how I was editing. This kind of feeling began in my last two projects (one of which I'm still yet to post) - I didn't feel worried about what I was making, or worrying about adding anything ''new'' or ''pretty'' - I was simply making whatever unconsciously came to me, and what felt right ^^ That's when I realized that it could be best to keep it this way and try to not let insecurity get to me, bc I believe that it could be in the moments of unconsciousness that you're able to create something pretty anyways. A little poetic there, I suppose ^^
But that can depend from person to person, I suppose! This is personally just the case for me, it seems ^^
Suppose you can also call that ''getting into the zone of doing things''
So yeah! All and all I wanna say that I'm very happy with this edit and there's nothing I dislike about it!
Making this was very fun, and I really hope that y'all enjoy this edit as much as I enjoyed making it :3
