Invincible ~ 1 Hour IC w/ Aly! {WON~}
updated
Love, like you.
I've been pouring my heart into this project for the past 30 hours. I've recently been on both a Steven Universe binge, and I've been (re)watching all of Makoto Shinkai's films, and some sudden inspiration gave birth to this AMV.
I made this because the the past two months have been incredibly difficult for me. I've been dealing with the aftermath of a home invasion, I've fallen deep into depression, I face isolation on nearly every front, and I live in constant fear that the people I love have and will abandon me.
There are few things I can do to change the situation -- if there was an obvious answer to all/any of it, I would have done it by now. I've come to realize that the only thing I can do is continue to take steps forward, and to take care of myself. Getting through every day is challenging.
Above everything else, the most important thing I've been learning these past two months is self-love. Being gentle with myself, processing accepting hardship, and allowing myself to heal.
I take the interpretation of Rebecca Sugar's "Love Like You" in a variety of ways. Love, the definition of your love being another person. Love, the act of loving, and wanting to love yourself as much as others have loved you. There's so many ways to look at it.
For myself, self-love is inspired by the people who love and loved me. I aimed to show that here, somehow. Here's my homage to the director Makoto Shinkai, whose films portray love in all forms. Shinkai's films rest very close to my heart: they symbolize comfort, change, growth, beauty, peace, and of course, Love.
Dedicated to Travis, whose love is transformative.
I'm alive. :')
So I actually had this MEP part done before the parts went out because I cut the audio myself and got so excited I edited the part in about an hour. Woops. [don't worry, it's synced to the audio you gave me!] Haven't gotten around to uploading it till now woops.
But yeah, I haven't edited in a while and this song was way too nice to pass up. It felt so good to have this part done - great way to step away from college work for a bit. :D
I don't think many of you know that I have a(n equally inactive) separate channel for anime. Would have uploaded this there but I'm actually pretty happy with this part. :3

OH GOD IT FEELS LIKE FOREVER SINCE I'VE ACTUALLY EDITED SOMETHING. asdjfkals;
So the other day I'm scrolling down tumblr, not really doing much else when suddenly I see an audio post with this song. In the comments, sherbeeee pointed out that it was PERFECT for Kataang (which it really is), and then this was born.
It's a touch [okay, more like really] cheesy but I'm actually really happy with how this turned out. Editing Kataang again gave me so many feels.

Frankly, I'm not even sure how I feel about this part. My apologies go out to hazelheartz for being so late with this.

//I think we're all in hibernation right now. xD
I got off for summer break today, and it's my birthday tomorrow [June 6th in case YouTube goes stupid again]. I took this afternoon to reflect on this past year and when I think back, I thought of all the sadness and doubt I felt with the things that left me feeling so helpless and alone. But, I then remember the friends that helped me through it all. Because of my feelings, I didn't realize how much they actually care[d], so looking back makes me choke up because I now see how fortunate I am to have amazing friends who were there - those who supported me even when I might have unintentionally shut them out.
And so, this AMV is dedicated to those friends. Whether they watch this or not, I needed to get my feelings out and thank them somehow. :'3

*EDIT* - description's here now.
This is a recording of my high school orchestra's performance of "Peace" - yes, "Peace" as in the finale song from ATLA. /prepare yo feels!
A few months back I watched NOVO perform this song live and I had this really renewed love for the soundtrack in general. [The Track Team's amazing.] So, I sat there and thought, "It would be so cool if we could do this too." From there, even though I thought I'd never get a reply, I went ahead and contacted the Track Team... and the rest is history.
I had a really fun time with playing this piece - not only did I have an /interesting time -trying- to play on the violin [being a violist], it was interesting playing with our school's intermediate band.
There were bumps here and there - at one point I got really discouraged and I felt really guilty for suggesting this piece because /certain unnamed people constantly kept saying how much they disliked the song and the show and afjkaf;lkj. But in the end, I look back and just see it all as part of this experience - which I am so very thankful to have.
I'm so proud of everyone in my orchestra for having played this as well as we did at our concert - I thank each and every one of you!
/Courtney tries to be serious and meaningful but fails. :'D

I'm not sure if I'm happy with this or not. o_O

Another vent.
I've been chipping away at this project little by little for several months now, and I worked on this clip by clip whenever I felt sad. [and recently, it's been a lot, which is why this is finished.]
There really wasn't a goal or a well thought out idea for this AMV, I just surrounded the general idea of loneliness - ehh, I guess it's open for interpretation.
Generic editing, nothing really special here - simple vent.
Plus, I thought I'd post because I REALLY HAVEN'T SEEN AN AVATAR AMV IN 2 WEEKS AND I'M DYING HERE.

HOLY CRAP IT'S FINALLY DONE. ASDFJKL;
My sincerest applogies for not completing this MEP sooner. Here's what happened:
So, I had all the parts DONE except for one, and when that person turned it in [the MEP was already running late], it looked almost identical to mine, so I had to redo my part. Well, I was out of inspiration/time to edit my own part [FAIL], so I passed it onto a backup... who never responded to my messages. And then I went to another backup, and another, and I was doing a really shitty job at keeping up with them, and some of them didn't respond and then, OH CRAP, it's already March 2013. I want to give a HUGE thank you to Bl00db3nder for filling in the last part in a MATTER OF HOURS. ♥
But really, it's my fault this MEP is so late. :c
Now that it's here though, let me say that I am extremely proud of every single editor that participated in this MEP -- I think this came out REALLY EPIC.

Hmmm... I don't know exactly how I feel about this one.
As I was editing this, halfway through, I forgot there was a theme, but as I read what it was [show a character revealing something personal], I didn't know what to do. Like, from the beginning, I was just pouring my feelings into the part without thinking about it first and I THINK it fits... o_o. I really just don't know how I feel about the theme and the emotion and the editing and just gah. ;_;
I'm having a week filled with confusing, conflicting emotions. Forgive me. :c

Here's a little vidlet for you guys. Hopefully this AMV successfully balances out or completely complements your upcoming Valentine's Day feels.
I love this song to death, but I never really felt the emotion to edit it until this week. I'm having a pretty shitty week, and this is puts some of my feelings to rest. [so it's like a tiny vent video? o_e]. This AMV kinda surrounds the love dipentagontangular thing in book one [though, I don't think this was executed correctly. ;_;]. /dies.
This video is very rushed, but I don't really think I could have done the whole song right now anyway. :c
Yeah, guys, love /can suck really bad. ;_;
No, I'm not trying to be whiny because Valentine's Day but UGGGH LIFE IS STRESSFUL.

FINALLY HERE IT IS. I think this was one of the most painstaking AMVs I've ever made, but it was so worth it because this video is for the holidays! ^^ It's sorta both my present and a thank you for 500 SUBSCRIBERS. /dies of happiness.
Okay, so a year ago for Christmas (or just the holidays, which ever you want to say), I made a video with the same song to Avatar. Remix of the song, but still, the same song. For so long I've wanted to make a full AMV for it, but I never found my skills worthy enough to fit the job until now. So, part of the reason I did this video was to show my improvement from over a year ago until now. ^^
You can find the old video below:
→ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUNfWB4fCuA
Like my older video, this video is supposed to center around friendships and family AND around the conflict we all face with ourselves and others AND how THAT surrounds those that are close to you. If that made sense. The theme here was really inspired by all of the events and friends that have come into my life this year. I just... so much has changed since last year.
AHHH! 500 SUBBIES! I'm just really happy I've reached this major milestone, and I just... wow, thank you all so much! I couldn't have gotten here without you!
This is especially dedicated to those newer friends and inspirations I've made here that have given me that extra push to move forward with my editing:

So the reason I made this video is because I needed a vent video, but making a vent video would have made me feel even worse than I already was, so I suppose this is more of a distraction video? Like, something to force me not to think about my stress? idk. ;_;
Originally, I was gunna do a 5CMPS video with "What If - Safetysuit" but again, I would have probably felt 10 times worse making that. So here's some Hotarubi no Mori e! I found this anime through Tiara, and I really like it even if my friends don't. .-.

WOOH. I am finally done with this.
Today was a very productive day, and I'm pretty proud of myself. As a "reward", I allowed myself an hour for this... which leads me to my next point. THIS WAS RUSHED AF'. I tried REALLY hard to hit the beats appropriately, and at least that was accomplished but, I also tried not to just throw in random clips. I failed more at the beginning than at the end. At least the end can connect with the lyrics a little... kinda. xD
I have a love/hate relationship with editing this type of music.
GR, welp, I'm still super stressed with life, and I'm off to finish my last bit of homework. /dies.

LAWL fail MEP part.
Yeah, I've had no inspiration for editing lately. Like, my last ATLA edit was a month ago.
I'm SLOWLY getting it back, although my time for editing is being ever shortened. D;
This MEP part It gave me the chance to try out some effects I couldn't have before because -- oop -- NEW COMPUTERRRRR~ *O* It's like perfect for editing -- it rendered this MEP part in 20 seconds. Amazing. And the monitor is huge and everything. Yush.
I loved doing this part though. I know it's not my best, and dubstep doesn't fit me, but it was FUN. EHhh, I don't ship Zutara, but hey, even Dannie said that you should vid your OTP's rival every once in a while, right? xDD
Umm, oh and if you don't see it, it's kinda supposed to me the whole Zutara story backwards. "Somebody that I used to knooooooooooooow~" -coughkindacough- xD

[boring description coming up. you have been warned.]
Ugh.
Vent video. I know it's bad with no timing and bad coloring... but all of my emotions went into this and it's just... -sigh-. The past few days have been really hard on me, and editing this helped be cope with my overwhelming emotions -- no idea why it helps, but it does.
The lyrics just pull at my heart and express its pain. ;_; [wow, that sounds like a really sad anime line. .-.] I just picked a sad song with THIS ANIME. Gosh, this anime is the most beautiful thing ever, but it's so sad at the same time. Every time I want to watch it I'm at war with myself because it's either I see the beauty and get hit with emotions, or not see it, spare my emotions, but not watch it. But in the end, it's my favorite anime (besides ATLA and LOK). IT'S SO AMAZING OH MY GOSH GO WATCH IT IF YOU HAVEN'T. ASDFJKL;. Oh and the manga too. THE MANGA MAKES IT MORE HEARTBREAKING.
This video probably won't make sense if you haven't watched it anyways. Oh well.

THANK YOU ALL FOR 400+ SUBS! ASDFJKL; I REALLY REALLY REALLY APPRICIATE YOU ALL! ♥ I know I say that everytime, but I really do mean it. :3
I know this is a little late [I have around 430 subs now], but better late than never, right? :3
I really do hope you all like this video. I tried to hit the emotional relationships and sacrifices of a variety of characters -- at least that was the idea. .-.
I'm sorry that this was so short! I just had a sudden burst of inspiration, and it died along with my feels. (and, guys, I think I forgot how to edit. xD)
I dedicate this to two very special people:

Omg. I went to your channel earlier today to watch a video and I didn't even realize you had stopped editing. Just. I don't even know where to being.
Your editing is such an inspiration for me and for everyone else that's every met you. Don't EVER let ANYONE tell you that your editing is shit, because if your editing is shit, then this video right here is worse than shit. I'm sorry that all of those people have been treating you that way -- they obviously don't see the wonderful, beautiful, talented you. And if those jerks get in the way of your PASSION. Omg. Just who exactly do I need to flip a table over? •w•
I don't even think I can type anymore, Tiara. T-T I'm always here for you, okay? And please, if you EVER feel like coming back, please don't hesitate to. ♥

-SONY VEGAS, YOU DID SOMETHING RIGHT FOR ONCE. *O*-
Have you ever had one of those videos, where it's a vent, but the vent has nothing to do with the problem? O-o lol, just me? xD
God, I'm so stressed out from school already -- and it's only two weeks in right now. I'm dying. AP classes. And honors classes. And I got actual teachers this year. Help. And add that onto my teenage girl issues. Yeah. I'm dead. xD
I REALLY should be doing homework right now... but editing helps me calm down. So I decided to designate a few hours to this. I hope it's work it. Dx
Anyway, I actually don't know if I like this song or not. Yes, it's SO FREAKING BADASS, [like, even the name sounds awesome. 'sssaAAAsskatOoOonnn.'] but idk, the vibe I get from it is slightly unsettling... I think. xD
Ya know, it was really hard to focus a whole episode into 14 seconds. It's like taking 20 episodes and shoving it into a 2 hour movie. -shudders-. I think I'm more obsessed with the Zuko/Azula fight in this episode rather than the whole Avatar State part of it. xDD
Um and yeah. I tried a different, darker coloring. Like?
PS -- I have a bunch of MEP parts that I haven't uploaded, and I'll upload them later in a single video. I just wanted this one up to show that I'm not dead... oh wait. xD

But I think I am really proud of with parts of this MEP part. Like that mask of Aang's head? I DIDN'T HAVE TO MASK. -score one for Courtney xD- the middle part with the mixed clips? AFTER EFFECTS, BABY. And the text. SONY VEGAS DIDN'T CRASH. *O*

I remember back in the day when I noticed I used the dragon scene WAY too much in WAY too many edits, so for almost a year, I think I laid off of it enough for me to use it again. xD

AHHH, my first ALL KORRA edit. :3
Oh my gosh. I'm so scared for this tournament.
I really would appreciate -constructive- critisizm on this video! I would really love to improve and get stronger for the rest of the competition~ My goal is to focus on -emotion-, while also just making a generally good AMV.
I personally think that the emotion is challenging because in order to have emotion in a video, you first kinda have to feel that emotion within yourself, and then later regurgitate that back into video form.
As I was watching the other Earth videos, I noticed that most of them have text and voiceovers and such... and when I tried this video, adding those things didn't... FEEL right. :/ idk, HELP ME?
I would also like to wish good luck to my competitor, VonaraChan! GO SUB HER TOO. HER VIDEOS ARE AMAZING! *O*

Overdue MEP part. I'm sorry guys -- summer school [for PE to get ahead in school] is kickin' my butt. Dx
So, for some reason, this MEP part kinda came out to be a Avatars theme. -shrugs- I guess this part was just sudden inspiration, and when that happens to me... things don't make sense.

This seems rushed, even though I tried on this. Dx
Hmmm. What character did I pick for a one character [plus shipping in this case] MEP part? xD
This MEP part turned out to be a lot harder to make than I originally thought. I love Maiko, but there's not a whole lot of screen time for them that's really... angsty. Ya know? Ships like Zutara, Yuokka or Kataang are somewhat easier to do with this type of theme. And Mai herself is more of a badass character on screen. Yes, she has flaws too, but its not enough for my little 14 year old brain to process right now. xDD
On top of that, my inspiration for this MEP part was lost after my non-exsistant love life got happier. *cough* [and I know 'you' like Christina's music. T-T]
