Gosh, NF95. What can I say? You're such a special person, inspirational as a Christian, video editor, and HTTYD fan. God has certainly blessed me in having a friend like you, an understanding young lady who can appreciate a joke, the beauty in life, has an ear for artistry and epic music, and is always understanding and kind.
HTTYD2014 brought me to your door for your great video-editing, and from that first recommendation it's become a lot more than just videos, as I'm sure is true for all the friends you've found here in this special corner of your world. About a year ago, on your "Sink and Swim" HD remake (youtube.com/watch?v=cJdRVW3Z4bQ, one of my all-time favorites of yours, btw!), you asked a request for me, to do a Toothless drawing, with a verse. I was so thrilled and still am thrilled to have made something special for you. That painting (inhonoredglory.deviantart.com/art/Love-Is-as-Strong-as-Death-319546031) helped me grow as an artist, one of the big steps that grew my confidence in a medium I was so new in. So... thank you for that. :) Your continued encouragement and support of my videos has always been a comfort, and our conversations are a joy beyond belief.
And now this video, another thing I could make for you. I do hope you enjoy it, because that question in the last PM about your favorite video games wasn't *exactly* innocent. ;) Fifty-percent of it was me fishing for the right game to do this video with. I had this idea for a long time, since I know you love video games so much -- and Toothless, so I aimed to do a more-or-less Toothless POV here, with a healthy dose of Night Fury action! The one quote is by me, the other a verse I know we both adore and can connect to HTTYD (thanks again for the inspiration in the graphic you sent me! [see it here: docs.google.com/file/d/0B1jjPmNNGM5vamwwVzMwdEtTMW8/edit] It certainly inspired a few frames in this vid!). I debated between this and the BF4 trailer, but the VO here just sold me LOL. I also found grunge texture video on YouTube, which gave me such Photoshop feels in layering this.
I wish you the very best for your birthday and hope you've already had a wonderful one with your parents and friends. :D Happy 18th birthday! I can't help but connect that to Tangled. Your life is *just* beginning, my dear! Go chase your dream! Much love in the Lord. ♥♥♥
Happy birthday, theNightFuryfan95!

I just managed *not* to make it on time for your birthday! But... I hope you like this tribute for you anyhow. I kept wondering how to hit your sweet spot again, because last years gift I made for you kept swimming in my head. I cant say Im the most original this time, but I wanted to, once again, collect everything I know you love and shove it together in a blender of action and meaning.
Because to me, thats what defines you most: an epic story and a tender heart. Youre a Christian holding fast to the love of the Savior, youre a gamer making memories with a wonderful Dad, youre a fan creating masterpieces on YT and continually learning, youre a friend reaching out to help anyone who asks for inspiration or comfort. You wear your heart on your sleeve, and your talent on the tips of your fingers. Youve inspired many, and I still watch every new vid of yours awing at the latest in technique youve made. And I read your comments and PMs knowing that you truly do care and understand. A beautiful heart means everything to me, and you are truly beautiful.
As for the vid... I was so tempted to pick TSFHs Love and Loss because your very first vid here was to that, and to Battlefield footage. This time I *did* use footage from the latest game (and I couldnt pass up those meaningful words in the first person story trailer!) because I know how thrilled you were for the 4th installment to come out, and I know how much gaming is a part of your life and your bonding time with your own father. Elsa makes a first-time appearance in my vids! Because I know how much you relate to her and how deep your bond goes with her story. And of course, theres sequel footage of our favorite Night Fury, being incredible, because you *are* the Night Fury among us, fast and lethal, with a personality thats all joy.
I do wish you the very best for your new year, and I thank you personally so much for all the words of friendship youve given me and all our closest friends here. Thank you for opening up about so much, as well. Ive still not returned the favor of everything, the love and understanding, the encouragement and heart, youve given me. You indeed strive to fulfill what our favorite snowman has said,

And may we all encourage one another to do the same.
