Well here it is my good friend! Better late than never I always HAVE to say...Happy Belated Birthday ACMusicVids!!! =)

Here's a link to her fabulous channel + beautifully crafted creations: youtube.com/user/ACMusicVids

My novel to you, Ace:
You know, ever since I first started editing you were one of the few AMV artist that REALLY stood out to me. I would sit and watch your classics like this one here: "Last Of The Wilds" youtube.com/watch?v=kEVSupQH8bs&list=UUjLgVTwSSJT67Mf_iXKA-CA for hours every night on a regular basis, (along with our good friend, FV2's vids) back in 2011. All I could think of was how amazing it would be to be able to make something like that timed to music for myself. And you specially always had this magical way in making them come alive and truly FEEL like these combinations we're made together! This video of yours here: "This Is Our Land" youtube.com/watch?v=ZH4URa-ZL8s&index=93&list=UUjLgVTwSSJT67Mf_iXKA-CA was the one driving force in making me start. Yes, and again, thats how my version with that score with only HTTYD came about. (:

All this however was long before I even had the pleasure in knowing you, as a true friend. As we both started editing more and more, and commenting on each other's vids (especially with highlighting I do believe) there began to sprout those seeds of friendship, and that sense of connection through our work hasn't stopped growing since. I'm so honored and proud to call you my friend Ace! (No seriously, you are like a Legend from LOTG to me; like Soren would go on and on about the Gaudians, I would over your vids and....I gotta quit with the puns, LOL!) But most of all I'm grateful, so grateful we got to know one another and can share this time together! Your such an inspiration with talent that radiate in everything you do, ACMusicVids!! =)

Ohhh I must share just a few of my favorites you've made:

DWmash - The Fire Within: youtube.com/watch?v=XyfM74TTcTk&list=UUjLgVTwSSJT67Mf_iXKA-CA&index=14

Wow, there's waaay more; IDK why I thought I could highlight a few, LOL! (Note: I shorted some of the titles due to limits.)

*sighs* I am so ashamed I missed your B-day last year and that I couldn't make you a little something else like you did so lovingly for me, (not to mention I'm also late) but I tried my best with this one present here; along with the description, just for you.
I had always planned to use this, one of my favorite scores btw, to HTTYD2, when it occurred to me that it must also one of your favs; seeing how you are a fellow lover of soundtracks. And considering you've made two vids with it differently:
Spirit - Save El Dorado: youtube.com/watch?v=e6hhngYbpsA&list=UUjLgVTwSSJT67Mf_iXKA-CA
HTTYD - Save El Dorado: youtube.com/watch?v=ot2cFX7d8DY&list=UUjLgVTwSSJT67Mf_iXKA-CA
And I couldn't right make you a B-day gift and NOT include your up-most favorite movie ever! Legend of The Guardians, who I must thank again for generously sharing with me! I swear one of the few animated movies that rival HTTYD in the animation depart! My word its gorgeous to watch; it always did, I mean from your vids. *winks*

I tried to keep it pretty simple this time, with a couple textures and, well, LOTS of layers of course paralleling both movies in ways. You can see it follows, for the most part, in story-mode with HTTYD2; however since I haven't exactly seen LOTG countless times like you have it was hard finding some of the clips for it, ha! Which is partly why it took awhile, that and college. (So close to the end of this semester!) I think the score fit both movies rather well though... but you be the judge of that. (:
