My new version of "Let it Go", muhahaha!!

I know I know, another Frozen vid (Specifically Elsa, but her relationship with Anna most of all); suppose I'm making up for the time I was too busy with other priorities over the year. I promise I'll be doing more Dragons soon though but for now I hope you enjoy this next icy blast from Frozen.

Footage: Frozen
Song: "Let Me Go" by Avril Lavigne (feat Chad Kroeger. aka: Nickleback) [trimmed]

I told myself when I started this project I would only spend about a week on it with minimal effects......3 weeks and 8 tracks of effects later, not gonna happen; wishful thinking.

I started June 12th (You remember what day that was right?) after hearing this song playing while at a grocery store, and yes it stopped me dead in my tracks listening. I swore it had to be Nickleback and after some searching I found its identity and quickly started forming a project in my mind. The inspiration was slicker than skating making this, due to the recent discussions with one of my "fellow" (pun alert!) fanatical frozen friends here. *winks* Along with the chorus and trying to lip-sync. As you can tell, this song had a multitude of opportunities to lip-sync, which was one of the reasons why I wanted to do it. That finale with the chorus was building some pretty jagged red icicles out of my editor and myself. ;)

Originally, I wasn't even going to add VOs or include that 0:17 sec introduction but I went ahead with it in the end because I liked the music. Believe it or not I did all that LAST, and it was by far the hardest part to put together out of the whole vid. Sorry its so mistimed on the additive dissolves (spent over an hour on them). I finally just....let them go.

What I like in this song is how it changes on the third round with the chorus on how she now HAS let it go and put the past/memories behind her. Unexpected, pivotal twist in the song too that reminds me so much of Frozen's "Let it Go".

So, a song this perfect for the movie HAD to have already been done quite a few times. Usually, I always check but I got carried away on inspiration for this thing; so I froze the fjord and crossed over without even thinking. Heres a list of some other amazing vids done with it:

*Sighs* Okay, IDK what else I can say about this project. The making on it was so fresh so I was able to recall most of it, but due to the recent sad news surrounding my good friend here some of the joys gone out in this vid and I'm sooo ready to be done with it have it published.
