I tried to tie in red as much as I could in this video with the song and the colors. It took me a while. A lot of masking too, even though it might not be evident!
I think I did pretty good on this video. xD I hope I at least did good enough to make it to round two of the contest~
I'm wondering if this video is good enough to go in my "best videos" category...hmmm...
Oh yeah, I've editted with this song before. But it's a great song, and it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw my assigned color! XD

There are many themees throughout this video that tie in with the song and the color.
Red for blood should be easy to see.
And death. That's a big theme.
Also, I associate red with lust, and you'll be able to see that in there too if you're looking. ; )

*Vanille represents an importatn part of the video. Is it obvious?
*Ick. SO many glitches and fails!!! But no matter how hard I tried I couldn't fix them or make certain parts smoother. T_T

I think this is the second contest video I've ever done... I like it!

Extra Note: I REALLY hope certain reds I used don't count as pink... sometimes it's hard to get the color perfect in color correction. D: I certainly tried to make everything as red as possible. T_T

And lol, I screwed up and saved the project after making a bad change. xD Fortunatley I'd already rendered a part, so I was able to fix it!

Thanks and enjoy~

**Sigh. I didn't make it in the contest.
Then again, looking back at this video it makes sense. : \

$White Snow; Red Blood. [V] White Snow... What is White? What is Snow? It is something that is not red. Something that is Red...is what? ............. V is for Vampire Knight. Yukis earliest memory is of a stormy winters night when she was attacked by a vampire, then saved by another. Ten years later, she has grown up a guardian of the vampire race, protecting her savior, Kaname, from discovery as he leads a group of reformed vampires at an elite boarding academy. But at her side is a boy called Zero, who burns with hatred for the creatures who destroyed everything that he ever cared for, and is determined never to trust them. Have the vampires truly renounced their murderous ways, or is there a darker truth behind their actions? Summary by Kaname2435 (yes Kan, I saved it xD) My first video where I can actually demonstrate my love for Vampire Knight~ Yes, I am a Vampire Knight fan. No, excuse me, a HARDCORE Vampire Knight fan. I own the artbook and the fanbook and If you bought me something awesomely Vampire Knight-related for Christmas, it would be my favorite present. xD So for Letter V I was thinking of what the theme could be, and then realized the most obvious thing I should definitely use Vampire Knight, one of my favorite things in the world! And since the theme was going to be Vampire Knight I decided to do a video of Vampire Knight, about Vampire Knight. Right on that same day I had No Light, No Light in my head and really felt like editing to it. Thats how this video came about. This is a video about the story of Vampire Knight. It summarizes most of the key parts in the story from Volume One to Volume Ten (with a tiny bit from Volume 11-13). If you havent read that much of Vampire Knight and plan to, do not watch this video. ^^ It is nothing BUT spoilers. Also, dont read any more of the description, because it has spoilers too. {EDITOR COMMENTS} Im so happy to be editing Vampire Knight for the first time! (I dont count Zeki Fall For You as my first time because I think that video is a fail ^^;). You might wonder why I havent edited to it before if its my favorite... Because its always scared me. xD The manga is so amazing that editing with it intimidates me a bit, because I know I wont capture it! I think I didnt do too bad with this video though. : ) Also, Its obvious I didnt include the entire story... Because of the song length and everything I decided to stop the story at the one-year skip. It just seemed better... Plus, Im not caught up with the manga. :P So do NOT talk to me about volume 14 and on! I have my reasons for not reading it online... so I wait for the volumes to come out in America. ^^ I bet this is the longest non-MEP video of Vampire Knight ever. Maybe its a bit overkill...But I wanted to include the whole story. Since I made it so long I have a feeling maybe no one will watch it... I hope Im wrong though! I do not edit with the Vampire Knight anime because I hate the anime. My main reason: The animation sucks. :P You can say thats stupid all you want, but its my reason. Also, it might be a bit obvious in this video which pairing is my favorite. Yes, Zeki is my OTP and practically my favorite pairing of all time. So yeah, thats pretty BIG. xD Still, I tried to not center this video around Zeki and its not supposed to be! But sometimes you just cant help showing a little favoritism. ^^; One more thing I hate both Kanayuu and Kaname. Want to know why? Youll have to ask me, and I think my reasons are pretty solid. ^^ I really wish I could include in the description all the quotes I used In the video, but Im sure I wont have enough room... I hope you all dont think the idea of the video is stupid and hope some of you can appreciate it. Overall, I hope you all enjoy it! Because I love it a lot. : ) I could talk for a lot, lot longer about Vampire Knight but Im going to cut it short. xD (Yes, this is considered short for me...) *AAH! I just realized I messed up the last line! And I was sure I looked at the book to make sure... The correct line is They are beasts in human form who DRINK the blood from living humans. fdjk;afj Video Info: All in the video~ For The ABC Project: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs_RDXC6Rjw Inspiration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIAcUFIYgJA (This video made me fall in love with the song before I heard the whole CD) Dedication: ALL my VK-loving friends, and my greatest partner in Vampire Knight Dez!
