Ratchet & Clank ~ Hold Your Colour [ editing with no plugins ] @RockOnRatchet95

Hmmm this is a little challenge that my girlfriend suggested to me some months back :3
Editing with only the pre-installed fx/no plugins!

My inspo for this project didn't originally start like this. At first, this project didn't begin life like this at all.
This started when i started listening to more of this remix again while doing school work and realized that i'm getting r&c edit idea visions in my head while listening to the second verse!! it felt very inspiring to me.
So eventually i started this project as simply a nostalgia project, in remembrance to an old r&c gmv that may or may not have existed back in the day with this song.
But then i lost the inspo to edit with that project. I think i only placed audio and then i left it sitting there, and deleted it eventually.
However, after my girlfriend suggested this, i felt like i could revive this project and feel more inspo for it under a theme!
And that worked! i didn't continue this project for some time, i didn't have many clip ideas at some points or i was too lazy to go find the clips i have in mind, but stuff was moving forward!
i realized that it's still rather possible to make the effects i wanna make without any plugins, and replicate my regular style that way ^^ the only thing is that the motion blur kinda, looks a bit funky. but oh well.

to make things a bit more interesting for myself i also tried a couple new things like did an extending line effect alongside some text and used the multiply (mask) blend mode to achieve a duplicated/displaced version of the clip beneath, in some text ^^
Took a little bit of effort to remind myself what was a plugin and what wasn't! owo bc i still haaad all of my plugins while making this - just simply wasn't using them owo

overall i quite like the result of this, i believe it was also fun to make in general, even with the changing ideas!
This was also one of the last projects i did before i just started feeling bored and getting a distaste for editing like this often.

Small specification - while this is Hold Your Colour, it's the Extended Bipolar Mix.

So then, i hope y'all enjoy this, and i wish you all a good day/night! ^^ :3

${{ BUSINESS ;; Chazz Princeton / Jun Manjome }} Thiiiis looks better in HD ^^ C H A Z Z IT UP, YO! XD Okay but for real, this project was quite fun to make XD Its supposed to be a humorous kind of edit XD III got this idea on the night when I was watching episode 44 of GX. I was writing down my reactions for it, and I looked back at a thing I wrote about episode 42, where, at one part, Chazz actually said now lets get down to business and I had written down the lyrics of this song. I looked back at that and thought That chorus could be Chazzs s o n g and thus, this idea came to life XD Also! I wanna say that Chazz, or Jun, has become one of my fave characters in GX now XD I didnt really like him at first, but after episode 24, he started seeming more and more interesting to me XD Guess thats another arrogant character on my list of fictional faves XD Aaaaaa there are even more that I like. Like, first I only really liked Judai, and Sho, but then I also started to like Daichi, Jun, and Ryo (Oooor Syrus, Bastion, Chazz, and Zane ^^) OWO Also Asuka (Alexis) is cool! OWO (Jc why so many name changes? XD) I wanted this video to have funny and arrogant moments of him, and I was actually laughing while editing this, at one point XD The part that made me laugh was the what is this one, bc on that part, I added a broken door, and then Chazz making that face XD (Although, maybe the door isnt the most visible there anymore XD) I originally also wanted to add a voiceover of Chazz saying lets get down to business, and I synced it up, too, but bc of the music that was originally in the background of the episode...I decided to remove it, as it kinda ruined the vibe. Buuuut, the very first clip of this edit is basically the clip where he says the line, in the dub. I did add a few audio/sound effects tho ^^ Quite happy with how those fit in. IIII kinda messed up the coloring? Well I made all of it with MBL, but I, for some reason, decided to use grad exposure for the red gradient, and it was only after I rendered a second prerender, where I wouldnt be able to change the coloring anymore, that I realized that I couldve used gradient tint. Bc I feel like this red color looks a little...well it looks like the colors, especially at the beginning, are plastered onto the clips. I dont quite like that, but, oh well. Ah, speaking of prerenders, I brought those back. I was only a bit disappointed that one of them took 24 minutes to render, but, hey, thats better than an hour or smth XD I used two relatively short ones, and I wanted to render a 3rd, which was the can I get a a witness? one, but after I saw that it wouldve taken over 30 minutes, I just cancelled that and decided to just add every effect I wanted to add, separately (Except for the flash(es). Bc I just used solid colors for that. Im actually very happy with the what is this text, bc the bounciness of it kinda reminds me of AE ^^ I actually think I made this really quickly! Everything except for the audio was actually done yesterday! Therefore I would say that this took me 2 days to make, but the rendering process made it 3. Buuuut, because of the fact that it was made so quickly, its also a bit rushed, bc I got lazy towards the end of editing it. Hmmm and I guess thats all I wanna say! I hope that yall enjoy watching this, and that you also have a good day/evening/night ^^ ~ Song: Eminem - Business Program: Sony Vegas Pro 14 Layers: 18 Media: Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Time taken: ~3 days$
