Hello everyone! It has been a while since my last post. Numerous factors from illness to hard drive failure have kept me away all summer. I am feeling much better and working on getting my footage back with the help of some other kind editors. However, I will be going on another hiatus, though this one of different because it’s official, won’t last as long as the unintentional one I just took, and will include the rest of the MEP parts I hadn’t posted yet as I work on remaking the videos I was making previously. This will include a Soukoku video, my You Pick I Vids, as well as a few more anime tributes. For the rest of the year, I hope to focus mostly on longer videos so I won’t join as many MEPs. I appreciate everyone for sticking with me. I even gained subscribers will I was away and am almost at 1k. I have special videos planned for 700-900 subs I still hope to post.
As for this video, the theme was characters with mental illness so I picked Dazai with a focus on suicidal ideation. I actually had a video planned out for September, as it’s Suicide Prevention Month, but this will have to do for this year. I made this part back in March, I think. I’ve looked forward to posting it. The masking was fun and sad and I want to do more effects like that, as I’ve been watching videos with different background colors. Anyway, this is showcasing Dazai’s life I the ADA in comparison to the Mafia, the potential for happiness, but being unable to feel it for long, and past Mafia ‘spirits’ haunting him: Oda’s death and Ango’s betrayal.

This is my entry for the second round of Beta Wars. I was very happy with the song I was given this round, and enjoyed editing most of this, although the inspiration died a little toward the end and I wished the audio sample was twenty seconds shorter. I want to apologize again for the ridiculously long time it took me to finish this.
Here’s the link to my beta battle:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJAcTxycCQs
I tried to incorporate the story of Hiyori losing her memories toward the end of the video, around when Nora shows up, but I’m not sure how well I did that, especially for those who haven’t seen the show. I hope it makes sense regardless, as it’s mostly their relationship and the things that separate them. They do have a few moments together in the video, though I wanted to focus mostly on distance and inaccessibility, referring to the title of the song. They are a ‘mystery’ to each other. /fails at being clever.
I got to try something new with text this time! Inspired by Kawrill.

Just a preview of one of the projects Im working on, since itll take a while to finish. I did miss my clown girl. :)
This project is fun, but nerve-wracking because its dubstep, but its been fun so far.
Enjoy! The final product may be a different, but let me know what you think so far!")

Its like I told you, honey.
For Week Four of Livs Inspiration Challenge. I wanted an excuse to edit with this overused song and she gave to me. Everyone go participate if you can!
Livs challenge:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDw5s2IWA3s
I think I forgot how much work it is to edit a full length video! It was so much work, but Im proud of the result and excited to share with everyone.
This is mostly from Rins point of view, though there is a POV change in the last chorus. I gravitate toward Rin for some reason, although I think my personality is more similar to Harus. This song was Rins song, and I wasnt expecting Haru to steal it at the end, but he does.
I focused hard on matching the pronouns, so I hope the storyline is easy to follow. I wanted to focus on Rins perception of his relationship with Haru, as friends, rivals, swimmers . . . The first part is angsty and angry, with Rin brooding over his win the first time he raced Haru after getting back to Japan. It wasnt what he expected and he wants something else out of his future victory, a sense of pride and satisfaction that he feels he deserves that Haru is keeping from him.
The second verse was what made me edit almost the entire song I wanted to show something different in what is otherwise a sad, angsty song. Rin being an egotistical jerk. He looks back on his time his former team as a disgrace, a joke. He was just settling for hanging out with them because he had nothing better to do, didnt know any better. And now, back from Australia and finding his match in a new swim team, Rin has found where he belongs. And he looks down on Haru for wasting his potential.
NOTES:
I figure there might be some protest of the lets go get high line. I wanted to include it, and I feel like its not too much to think Rin might see that as something recreational. I wanted the scene to come across as sweet, like hes inviting Haru back into his life. I do not mean for it to be interpreted as bad or out of character for Rin.
Please, no comments about using a girl song or something. I did actually want to use a male cover, but none of them sounded right to me or had that mocking, double-sided, or angsty sound I wanted. I went with this one, and am glad for it. I also dont think songs sung by women should be limited to female characters.
Have I mentioned how much I love these two? This show? I was avoiding it for the longest time, no even trying too hard, and then Tasha posted her wonderful Harin/Rin video, and I gave in and watched the first episode and fell in love.

My entry for round 1 of the TwerkTourney hosted by DiamantTiger and Zeldaawesome.
Im so glad this is done. Its been a long and exhausting process filled with frustration and loss of sleep. But its done. Its my first video with K. Its four minutes long- my longest video to date. And Im super happy with it. :)
Thank you to MissDoonaQueen, irishdancerduckyX2, and littlemissfiretruckx for betaing this repeatedly and for keeping me going well beyond the point where I realized just how long four minutes takes to edit. Another thanks for littlemissfiretruckx for fangirling over K with me and helping me with episodes. And irishdancerduckyX2 for convincing me to watch K. xD
For this round, we were told to show off with no other theme/rule in terms of the video other than to pick a song out of a list for our group. I picked this song, and a remix of it, which was considerably harder to edit than the original probably would have been, but Im pretty happy I was able to pull it off. Not exactly what Im showing off here, but I think I was focusing mainly on timing and atmosphere with this video. Lyric-following, too, of course, but that might be hard to tell if you havent seen the show.
This is supposed to be a general tribute to the show as a whole, so I purposefully mixed things up in terms of clips. There is some structure, with Kuroh and Shiro in the first verse, Fushimi and Yata in the second verse, and theres a Mikoto and Munakata section as well- but overall, the storyline is supposed to be a little muddled. I feel like this song called for that, especially toward the end. I tried to use the same overall scene to give it a more comprehensive feel, which was surprisingly hard to do, so hopefully it works. What I was trying to convey overall is a lack of connection or understanding between the characters, either about a certain action, or their relationship as a whole.
If you havent seen this show- watch it! OMGNSFJNEUFNHD go watch it! xD
I think its safe to say I probably wont be doing another long video like this again for a while, because exhaustion. This was just my tribute to this show and my self-introduction to the fandom, I suppose. So Im not going away or anything; Im just tired after working on this, though my program didnt give me near as much trouble as my 500 subs video did, so thats a plus. I also wanted to say thank you for the huge amount of support you have shown for the 500 subs video. I really appreciate it, and your amazing comments really brightened my day and made editing that video worthwhile. Thank you for all the support you have given me.
If you read all this, you get a virtual cookie. I hope you enjoy the video! Comments are much appreciated. Good luck to those in my group for the tourney, Group 13!
Info is at beginning of video, but please feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
