Tributes are fast paced, energetic, emotionally charged focuses on a particular character, series, or genre. Not to be confused with Canon, Tributes look more closely at the editing and clip choices to bring forth the action and adventure of your focus.

Before you watch too much of this, I implore you to go and watch the original version I made nearly 4 years ago: youtube.com/watch?v=bPn0TEhK5mA
I set my GMV Awards contestants a challenge of remaking an old video of theirs, and I felt like I should see for myself how difficult that would be.
Apart from the usual gripes of Sony crashes and clip problems...this was hard. I felt like I was throwing away so much from the original. But seeing it completed I feel very very happy.
Four years ago I was having a very creative time, while I can't say I really understand my own plot from the original, I have tried to translate it. I'm a very different editor now and it was extremely hard to find a way to push what I do with my editing now into something that reflected what I used to be like. And the outcome is totally worth the effort! I have learned something about editing emotionally today that I think I'd forgot - about making the right clip choices (not what effects are going there!) how to avoid things looking too plain by layer important scenes, how to use masking to manipulate the scenes in front of me. The most important aspect was rediscovering how to edit a full song and really enjoy it - no rushing to the end, and learning its okay to spend 3 hours nit picking at it.
This video is a precious baby of mine - it was back then and it is again now.• A P H R O D I T E •BosscenatorJessie2014-08-04 | Make me your one and O N L Y...
*breathes a sigh of relief* one down, many to go.
This is for Lacrymosai's Darkstyle contest, the deadline is Sunday and I wouldn't have managed the rest of the storyline in that short space of time to I rounded it off where it was.
This was meant to go on longer and I had more of a story written to it...but this is all you get since I have run out of time!!!!!!!
Thanks to Lacrymosai for the overlays I used and DestinyStellaNox for sending me some textures - I didn't find one to use but thank you anyway!
Thanks to Wiffle, Miri, and others who did the initial beta tests.
STORY:
I'd prefer if you watched first, read later.
Aphrodite was banished for falling in love with a Human. She outlived her man, and as punishment she went to earth and spent her days in a cavern away from everyone and everything. Some knew of her magic and went to find her; but magic always comes with a price.
Snow wanted love more than anything, so he sought out Aphrodite. She was delighted to help him, and granted his wish that his girlfriend would accept his proposal.
But as soon as the proposal had been accepted, Aphrodite felt like Snow was ungrateful. She became jealous of Serah, and sent her magic after her, seeking to kill her and take her place in the arms of Snow.
Snow instantly regretted his decision to seek out Aphrodite, as Serah melted into her and was lost forever. Aphrodite had yet to learn, that there's a fine line between love and hate.

10thea01 - Your works have greatly inspired me. You've improved a great deal in the last year and you have a beautiful and unique style.

Nominees: the below editors did not place nor had an honourable mention, but you should all take great pride in the fact you were nominated:
On the twelfth day of Vegas your Jessie gave to thee: A vid for a B.B.T!
So this video is like my first serious effects videos I was required to meet certain conditions for the BBT but I'm being secretive ;) so I won't say what I did have to do and didn't. Some of it I really like and some of it is really outside of my comfort zone but thats GOOD :D we gotta push ourselves to try new things! So its worth it all in the end!
My favourite part is the text over KH clips. Beaut.
Bear in mind I've literally only had vegas for 12 days and its been a rather //steep// learning curve so there may be mistakes or things that don't look the best, but I shall get there :D I hope you'll all help me out~
I did kinda get annoyed at the end and went for Yuna clips. Accidentally made it a bit sexual. There's definite side boob. Oh well.
ALSO WORKED OUT HOW TO USE SPECIAL FONT TYPE THINGY IN TITLES AHAHAHA

I'm so pleased with this. I was hugely inspired to edit this song because of HJAZisRikku's fabulous FF10 Tribute with the same song. Hers is amazing, I recommend going to her channel and watching it!
I've wanted to do this for about a week but only this afternoon did I find the time. I think this was a good release of some negative energy from a rubbish day~Grow A Pear!! [MEP]BosscenatorJessie2014-06-18 | Hehe finally finished! I hope you all had funn, this is adorable :D
I'll b hosting more MEPs from now on yay and keep an eye out for ORI's 2014 REBOOT Auditions :D
Old members your places will be there for you but I need you to do something for me - message me and confirm your place in New ORI. I won't put you on the member list unless you do this for me. I want to know that ORI will be worth your time and efforts. Please.
Old ORI was dying in a way - members didn't really want to use WMM anymore, or were too busy, so I as leader decided we should give ourselves a fighting chance and try again in a new way.
New ORI will be: - A place where people strive to be challenge - primarily GMV but there will be opportunities to use other media - you may use any program you wish as long as you are willing to develop your skills and learn new things with the help of the leadership team, who will be decided based on auditions.
ORI always will have a vision but that vision is changing.
So I decided to study Ashe as a character for my innocence theme.
All of Ashe's innocent side is tied to Rasler. I feel like the most important part of her character development is getting over him and discarding the stones as it is his memory and ties to simpler times before the war that keep her from doing what she must do to reclaim her future. She hangs onto the past and him too much and the Gods use that against her and make her see him over and over, and it is in letting go of her innocence and moving on that she claims her throne.Reminiscence.BosscenatorJessie2014-03-29 | Best enjoyed through headphones and in HD, fullscreen. :D
"Memories warm you up from the inside, but they also tear you apart..."
Why is this canon?
Yuna reflects on the journey. On her feelings, her companion's feelings and memories associated with the road they've walked.
"Memories are nice, but thats all they are,"
Yuna could never forget.
The beta title for this was "Memories" but I felt that was too generic and vague. Reminiscence is a better work...it describes more of the act of collecting experiences and memories together.
rem•i•nis•cence (ˌrɛm əˈnɪs əns)
n. 1. the act or process of recalling the past. 2. a mental impression retained and revived. 3. Often, reminiscences. a recollection narrated. 4. something that recalls something else.
This is what Final Fantasy X is - a reminiscence. Tidus starts this in the very beginning of the game and we discover the events we play through up till Zanarkand are him remembering and retelling the tales. Memories are the focus of this video - but in the form of reminiscing.
• • •
Personal Notes:
Please watch all the way through ;-; I know its long but there's a voiceover at the end that really brings it all together, you know?
AHHHHH seriously, screw this video....I think maybe of the 20 or so hours I've worked on this I've spent most of them angry at movie maker!!!!!! There were 20 renders associated with this. Because of glitches. Still, I think after all that the effort was worth it.

Enjoy coz its fucking awesome guys
The vision behind this project is that lots of studios are doing effects themed projects and it was our turn! Yes, WMM and iMovie can edit effects too :)
Why do I believe this video is canon? Well there are many reasons. For a start it adheres to the romance of Tidus and Yuna, his struggle to support her after he's thrown from his cushy Zanarkand world into a cruel one, and her difficulty travelling a final journey to that same city. Somehow in the face of all that adversity, romance blossoms and Yuna is given an opportunity to change the old ways. I used the metaphor of dancing throughout. Yuna's dance always signified death, something they are journeying to stop happening so horrifically at the hands of an ancient entity. My video is canon because it describes that journey with some of the potent and definite messages the game shows; death, destruction, hope, and love.

yeah this turned out pretty cute. I feel adorbsy feels coming from this.
So this was originally a vent. hurr durr I've had an extraordinary amount of feelings in the last few weeks. Pertaining mostly to certain members of the human race.
But then I decided not to take anyone's bullshit anymore. I grew a pair, made a smaller (actual) vent, and turned this into a sorta video. Its kinda a "roar" video. GET THE PUN. ITS PUNNY. If you don't get the pun then gtfo :)
I think thats all.I really dont care :)BosscenatorJessie2013-10-22 | just a little message to someone! :D
okay sometimes Jessie needs a vent too don't judge me okay I really don't vent very often/ever sometimes it just happens and it can be superbitch, my inner bitch is not easily tamed she's kinda wild and likes to just say whatever the fuck she feels like saying.

This took too long! Oh well. Its here! Thanks Jem and Vergil for taking those remaining parts :)Gold // Yuna&TidusBosscenatorJessie2013-09-27 | HWHAT JESSIE EDITED WITH EFFECTS
no seriously this took me maybe an hour and a half? Two hours at the most?
I love the fact that wmm effect editing means once you've set up and create a layer the layer is then re-useable several times. Without rendering or recreating - just replace the clips. Same with a working effect pattern, the way to create certain effects is to combine a multitude of premade effects into the desired pattern. And then you can just apply it again in the same order for the same effect.
yeah that might seem like a cheat but it comes out the same way as if I re-edited it, in fact it probably comes out far more consistant.
This is an mep part. The full link will follow when its up :DThe Doctor & River Song // let me fallBosscenatorJessie2013-09-21 | I finally vented all my feels about this couple. Just so many of them.

Thank you Messi for requesting this song, I had no clues on my other requests and in the end I think this turned out okay :) I needed a kick to make me want to edit again. I hope you like this!
More focus on beats and clips this time than learning new things: there were a lot of experiments that I didn't use in the end but overall through the tears of this video really not wanting to be made, I think I achieved some kind of flow.

coz chocobos○ Carnival Of Memories ○ (GMV Awards 2013 BASIC Winner)BosscenatorJessie2013-07-31 | I literally spent like 15 hours on this baby.
I learnt about 3 new tricks with movie maker while making this so I'm pretty pleased with myself - considering I wasn't keen on the song assigned and I was hesitant to edit with Kingdom Hearts.
Program: WMM 6.0 ♥ Wish Tournament: Request 2 - BlackIronButterfly - Carnival of Rust ♥ The request I chose was from BlackIronButterfly (Caitlin!) and I'm kinda glad she chose this for me. I could really throw myself into it for once. I think I'd be gutted if I get knocked out or lose now! I'm in the water category. So its all about the flow, emotions and creativity.
I hope you all enjoy this.
Counted them - not including glitched/failed renders it was 25 renders to get all the effects correctly in place, voiceovers/text overlays added and colour.
I was a bit hesistant to edit them at first but I was DYING to edit this song so here we are! Ashe and Rasler have a touching relation because she is NOT willing to let him go, unlike many FF storylines where the character moves on.• // D I S P L A C E • || The Origin StudioBosscenatorJessie2013-04-02 | "Simplicity in Software; Vision in Editing"

• • • • S T O R Y • • • • Listen to my story.
My name is Yuna and I live on the isle of Besaid.
I've spent my whole life waiting. For that special someone.
Please listen. This is the last time I can tell my tale.
I live on the island of Besaid. In a world where Sin could attack us at any moment. I have spent my life waiting. For that special someone.
I didn't want to be a summoner. But I see everyone around me. Having someone to live for. I have no parents, no childhood friends. There is Wakka, Lulu and Kimahri but I feel that they sometimes feel more obligated to care for me than actually wanting to, sometimes.
So I changed my mind. I began the summoner's training with a heavy heart. They tried to stop me. but they gave up, and they became my guardians.
What do I have to live for?
Him.
He washed up on the island. At first, we thought he was dead. To our surprise life sprang back into him and he began to splutter up water. A storm at sea must have washed him up here, on our little island.
I just...he was just so beautiful.
We were leaving that day, and I asked him to come with us. He must have had somewhere to go back to, that was my reasoning. Secretly I just wanted him near. I wanted us to laugh and cry together. We visited the temples. Each time he would come and talk to me and I felt like he must feel something.
Honestly I don't think he knew what would happen if I finished this journey, sometimes he would say things like "Let's go to Zanarkand" and "You're the best Summoner out there!" And maybe he just wanted Sin to be gone. Everyone does, I wouldn't blame him if that was the reason behind it but as we get further north I get more and more reluctant to go.
I thought he loved me. I loved him.
The woods is where I discovered the truth. He didn't love me. He just wanted to help me, he thought that all I wanted was to journey and defeat sin.
I thought I had finally found something worth living for. Instead I shall just continue, and I shall bring peace so he can carry on his life happy.
I ran away from the camp that day. I didn't want to face any of them and I continued alone. I used all my strength, all my aeons to protect me and I made it to Zanarkand by myself. I accepted that I would die. I left him something.
"Tidus, I know you'll find me on the way back to the Calm Lands, but Sin draws near and I feel his power. He feels mine. I'm sorry. I have to do this. I know I will cry because it will hurt but I have to do this. I'm an orphan, Tidus, I have no parents, no one who cares for me. No one to live for. At least this way, other people will live because of me. I'm sorry. I wish we could have had that something beautiful."
Yuna fought with all her strength and Sin was destroyed. As she burned and Yuna cried, Tidus felt all the guilt, regret and pain that she had felt through this journey.
She never wanted to do this. Just a lonely girl, who needed a purpose. He could have been that purpose. To this day, Tidus visits the Calm Lands every year on that day. He looks back thinking that he felt nothing for her. In truth, sometimes he wonders if he did.
• • • • I N S P I R A T I O N • • • •
dis·place
Verb - Take over the place, position, or role of (someone or something). - Cause (something) to move from its proper or usual place.
Tidus moves Yuna from her path. Makes her go away from her usual place...and disturbs her, moves her.
Please watch these two beautiful videos and understand from where we took our inspiration. For us, the drive to really finish this and get it absolutely perfect, was that we finally wanted to finish a continuous story arch. We love FFX and we wanted to portray a story within the universe.
We're a WMM and iMovie only Studio, founded in 2010. This is our project to celebrate 3 long and very happy years of ORI! You guys are my family, and I don't know where I would be or what I would be editing, or even if I would still be editing without you all. Here's to a 4th year!At The Beginning // FULL MEPBosscenatorJessie2013-03-15 | Great to see this finished! I had far too much time on my hands so I just finished the parts that hadn't been handed in myself and put it together. I LOVE how it turned out. I hope you all enjoy it too!
PS I LOVE THE THUMBNAIL TOO.The Never-Ending Drum Beat // The MasterBosscenatorJessie2013-03-05 | I have never used so many voiceovers ever but I hope they're alright because I literally spent an hour editing them in Audacity. Doctor Who is an absolute pain for voiceovers because there is ALWAYS BACKGROUND MUSIC. Thanks Doctor Who for your epic, and ever-present, soundtrack.
Well ahem, the video.
The master was an obvious choice of villian for me because he's just so....bad. But he doesn't really know why he's bad. Its probably the drumming in his head. But at the same time he's proud he was "chosen" I think possibly thats what makes him SUCH A GOOD VILLAIN. He's just insane. He's got no particularly dastardly features, he's just batshit crazy. He makes everyone around him crazy, too. And he makes people worship him. He kills people because he doesn't know he's doing wrong, really. Its all about perspective, in the end however, its his relationship dynamics with the Doctor that really tip him over, he doesn't know whether to respect him or try to control him, and above all he fears that the Doctor will care about him despite his actions.
I am not sure whether I was trying to narrate his story, or just show the worst of him, or show his relationship with the other characters, his catalysts....or maybe even all of the above. Well then there's also the fact he COMES BACK FROM THE DEAD.
Yes also if anyone can tell me the song piece I used, cookies.but that youll always love me...?BosscenatorJessie2013-02-19 | Well I honestly...have next to nothing to say about it. I had a ridiculous amount of spare time but instead of doing something useful like MEP parts I made a full video. Maybe its just that I spend too much time showing the sunshine-and-rainbows side of final fantasy and this time....there was a bit of darkness in there...well anyway I enjoyed making this and I'm not trying to show off any stupid masking or "skills".
I literally watched that video so many times because its just freaking amazing.
This is dedicated to...some very special people who are always there to give me a little push when I've just about had enough - Setasha, Miri, WIFFLE, Wresie and Ruguo. A shout out to you ladies because you're the best.
This is also a quick shout out to my subscribers too because I've nearly hit 500! Thank you all ^___^These Small Hours // Garnet/ZidaneBosscenatorJessie2013-02-03 | MUST READ
The challenge was to show what the essence of our ship was; as interpreted by us. But we only had 25 seconds to do it!
To me there is something so basically pure and simple between Garnet and Zidane. There's no excessive lust or want; no complication or conflictions. No unspoken words or need to loudly shout from the mountaintops. They're just two people who at first, hated to each other, and over time realised the best in each other. It wasn't drawn out or difficult, it happened, and it was comfortable. This is why I chose "Little Wonders"for my song because all the small things are what makes their relationship so big. There's no kiss or need to show their feelings, you just KNOW. Its shown in so many places throughout the game: he follows her singing, she cuts her hair and he supports her fully. She defies her duty to stay with him. And she waves him goodbye. And once finally reunited..she's ready to give up everything to be with him. Their intimacy runs much deeper than that of just love. its friendship too. Its that real support and genuine need to treasure that person. So this is what I want to show in my video; their key moments that make them so strong. This is why I ship them; they have the kind of love we all search for. That is the essence of my ship.
And so pure and simple editing and colouring is what I went for.
Bonus Question!
The perfect ending for my couple? Well the canon ending is pretty solid but I would have much preferred if Zidane and his heart of gold hadn't have saved Kuja. They could have sailed away, had a big wedding and ruled over Alexandria, happily ever after, and had adorable black haired monkey babies. There's no seriousness behind the ending I want for them.

Concept: I at first thought this would be a really difficult thing to pull off but I am overall really pleased with what I've managed to do. I chose to use Umbrella Beach because It gives me this real sense of home and summertime; rain, daydreaming, adventure and having fun! I chose to use Doctor Who because it is a british show; full of adventure, friends, fun but there is always an end, but you never want it to end. The same way about the summer; in Britain its when you're away from school, you can spend every day with your friends, exploring, adventuring and having fun. I think what I'm trying to say is that this video embodies a perfect British Summer: Friends, Adventure, and Fun but an unfortunate and unwanted end to all the madness and hilarity. I asked a lot of people what season they thought it related to. A lot of you happened to be American/Western and you said Fall. Well, good thing that your fall is almost identical to our Summer!
Overall, summer is about feeling good and I hope this video makes you feel good.
Check out my little sun in the corner! Oh the colours. I feel rainbows.
Here's a fun game for you whovians; which Series 1-4 major/mentionable companion or friends are MISSING from the video? [No specials/Matt Smith!]• A Fragile Line | Garnet/Zidane [Shipping Wars R2] •BosscenatorJessie2012-12-22 | Watch the video first. Its all about interpretation!
Now the story and my concept. Blah blah.
Garnet is an extremely fragile young woman and she has emotional attachment issues, and unsuspecting Zidane happens across her trying to kill herself. He selflessly saves her life and she develops an obsession with him - despite the fact he HAS a girlfriend. Garnet gets jealous and she can't live without him - she has to have him no matter what. She gets a gun and goes to where Zidane is supposed to be meeting his girlfriend Yuna. Garnet doesn't hesitate: she raises the gun and shoots her. Yuna lies dead while Zidane cradles her. It wasn't going to be easy, Garnet thinks that he will love her now. But all Zidane wants is Yuna back. Garnet drops the gun initially but after seeing how Zidane is with Yuna's dead body she decides that if she can't have him...no one can. She picks the gun back up, looks straight into Zidane's eyes and shoots him dead too. Now the guilt washes over her. She's just killed two people. Its time to end it all as originally intended: she shoots herself. the commotion attracts attention and all the people find are 3 dead bodies, a gun and a broken necklace.
The theme was obsession. I flicked through my library of songs for days and this is the only concept that hit me...I think it was the lyrics. There is a thin line between love and obsession and it just takes someone to cross it.
BONUS QUESTION? 3 Reasons why you should ship Garnet and Zidane: 1) This is a complete fairytale romance, a pirate and a princess. What more can you ask for? Its not tragic love or passionate but it feels more realistic than other ships. 2) They genuinely care for each other. Before romance there was a mutual caring friendship. There's no fake or forced love there, its genuine. 3) They're easy to vid. Its a cop out but because they're so compatible, they're easy to vid to just about any song.Fury & Fear | Doctor/RoseBosscenatorJessie2012-12-16 | HD or it will burn your eyes......READ: Let me take a moment to explain my concept. Its taken me ages to think of it and I dont want anyone ruining the video for themselves by not reading.
My concept looks at the dynamics of the Doctor and Rose's relationship, as well as their own inner conflicts; the Doctor and his struggle to control the "fury" that he bears towards the Daleks and the Time War, and Rose with her humanity; being selfish and afraid of who the Doctor is, her "fear".
This is for a contest where I was told to focus on ONE couple and ONE effect: my effect is Black and White clips. The Black and White parts represent times when the Doctor and Rose digress into their "dark" side or their conflicts, Fury and Fear. Each brings the other back to the light, to the colour, and I tried to use the black and white effect to emphasis it. For example when the Doctor is fighting, the colour fades in and out constantly because he's constantly becoming furious and then remembering that Rose is there. The same with regeneration; its a huge reminder of who HE is and where he comes from. I feel this is a fundamental point in their relationship, they each have something to contribute to the other, they support each other while I feel this is a dynamic that lacks with other companions which is why they never develop into romance UNLIKE the Doctor and Rose. I'm not saying other companions didn't contribute anything, just not in the same manner. Rose was his first companion after the Time War, in the Doctor's own words "You made me better".
The song: well I researched the song beforehand because I liked it, but as it happens, its actually written about inner conflict. Its not about the beats or the lyrics, its about what the song means; the Doctor and Rose both have their inner battles to fight while still progressing their relationship.
End ramble, go watch :)Soar | GMV Awards 2012 Basic WinnerBosscenatorJessie2012-10-09 | Please can you watch the video first. I want you guys to interpret it before you read what I actually intended, I want to get better at storytelling and I'd love to know how accurate it was.
• The Story •
I was going for a whole "Pirate and the Princess" approach, this is much how my ship is presented. However, instead of editing the canon story of Zidane and Garnet, where he leaves intentionally to save Kuja, I've tried to take them out of their universe, with the same personalities but a new story. This is how it begins: Garnet takes comfort in one particular servant, Zidane. Their relationship develops secretly, away from prying eyes. She can confide in him and he never judges. However Garnet's Mother, Queen Brahne, is greedy and selfish and breaks the bonds of peace binding their own Kingdom and their twin kingdom (Kuja's the prince there) and attacks them. She orders all males to participate in her war and Zidane is sent away, Garnet wishing him goodbye from her airship.
Many battles later, Brahne's attempts and Kuja destroys her ship using Bahamut, while Garnet watches on. Being the new Queen. Garnet rallies for peace, first though Kuja attacks Alexandria to show how futile any resistance is. The only way for peace? Kuja makes a plan: the only way is to bind their two kingdoms: She must marry Kuja. The war is over, and Garnet hopes that Zidane will return. She spends her days feeding the birds and singing in the place that used to be their secret meeting spot: and she hears someone approach, turning around she is disappointed: Its Kuja.
Dutifully she marries him and doing so she regrets everything. She misses Zidane with all her heart and doesn't devote anything to her relationship with Kuja, feeling resentful, towards the memory of her mother and towards her new husband.
The theme was Separation of the ship: this is how they are separated. Garnet doesn't know if he is alive still or not, but her fate is sealed into a loveless marriage, a marriage of convenience.
Now for the bonus question! Which i my least favourite ship and why? Personally? Noel and Serah. I feel that this ship just is inexistant: they are friends, and truly I feel Serah loves Snow with all her heart and would never ever betray him. Whatever Noel feels for her is irrelevant, but I also find them a terrible couple: they come from entirely different cultures and I feel that it would all fall down. Serah needs a "hero" while Noel seems to be a lot more needy than Snow. I don't know. Is just not teh canonz.
EDIT: I KNOW THE YELLOW KILLED THE DESATURATION ON SOME OF THE CLIPS SO JUST GO WITH IT OKAY?????
Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.

You're the most special person in my life I don't want you to go away for too long. I promise, soon we won't be apart ever again.
About the Video: I based it loosely off Avril's music video, that was where I got my inspiration anyway.
'Any emotion, if sincere, is involuntary.' I'm trying to portray that feeling when you miss someone, more than you ever thought you could. Maybe its part of Love, maybe it is its own feeling, but that sinking, loneliness, and somewhat painful thing when you miss someone so dearly. Emotions: Loneliness, Missing someone, love, pain.• We Are Young! | FF10 •BosscenatorJessie2012-02-04 | This was an IC. But I like it.

•About the MEP• This started out as being a remake of our first MEP, which was a look at final fantasy through the ages, but we took the idea and thought, okay, so if we were a real movie studio, how would we operate? Well the first step is actual filming. That's the clips themselves, we gathered clips for Final Fantasy. Then it would go to the editors. We called them "Creators". Splitting the song into several 10 second pieces, we handed out the parts amongst ourselves. The catch was that no effects or transitions were used at this stage. Because it was then passed onto production, who would resize to widescreen and add the effects and transitions. Once we had all the parts completed as such we made a series of "tests" to decide on which overlay, how to colour the video, and the typography to use. This stage was called "Secondary Production". Once this was decided, it was sent to "Final Production" where any last minute effects, cuts or transitions were added along with the chosen overlay, colours, type and of course, the intro/outro.
What I am trying to say is this is not an MEP where we were all given our own parts to do with as we pleased. We worked very close knit and created something that looks like it was made by a Production Team. By one single editor.
•Blurb• In Final Fantasy, one thing is certain - you'll be starting small. Probably three or four. For a studio, much the same thing: start with small, not too complex videos -- and by not too complex I mean a MEP, still fun and challenging but nothing too hard. But as the game and studio continues, things get bigger. Bigger bosses, bigger parties and the most important thing of all -- growing friendship. This is at the core of any Final Fantasy, the friendship between the party. This is also the most important thing in a studio. Friendship. When our studio started out, we were bound together like any party for an ideal -- a WMM only studio. But over the two years, despite people leaving and people coming, we've formed a strong friendship between each other. We've moved from simple MEP's to complex WORMs and MEPWORMs and MEPs and talking to each other and encouraging each other. We've become a family of sorts. And we'll continue to grow and change and learn. Though I have to hope we'll never beat the end boss because parties always seem to fall apart at that stage and that's something I never want to see, the end of this wonderful studio.
