Hey y'all! Here's my part for the Switchback MEP for @EnrichedHeartEuphoria , which I had hosted. Funnily enough, i was the last person to finish their part for this MEP ^^''
Regardless though, i'm still super happy that i got the chance to host this one, and it was a lot of fun uwu This song is an ultimate classic, let's go!!
Making this one was a bit of an up and down experience. My first obstacle was realizing that I can't even use Maria in the Shadow clips, because I originally wanted to use a scene of Maria looking to Shadow on the ''too late'' lyric to create a sense of urgency in the clips. So i fiddled around, but i knew that i wanted to create a pleasing flow in the clips. I decided rather early on that i wanted some random masks, which i, surprisingly, ended up sticking with lol
I definitely had a nice experience when i found some new-ish clips that fit my visions better. For instance, the first Silver clip on the ''switchback'' lyric. I had originally intended on using that second scene of Silver in place of the one of him looking up. But i also really liked the impact that his psychokinesis blast created! So after looking around, i found a nice closeup shot of Silver's eyes that kinda matched Shadow's. So i kept both of the clips in there ^^
I was actually inspired by SonicFan140's Switchback part when it came to setting or re-setting my clips for the second ''switchback'' lyric ^w^ Originally had used a different scene of Shadow, and the scene of Silver gripping his hand into a fist was actually the original clip used in ''switch-'', and i think the scene of Silver clashing with Shadow came before said clip. I believe this change helped improve the flow a little :3
The coloring and some of the overlays were very quick to add, but i had some kind of, disconnect, between what i wanted the effects to be like. They felt a bit uninspired at first. One of the main ideas being the part revolving around a bit moving fisheye effect, but i decided not to use that, as that would've been too visually, odd, to look at for a long time, and too different from everyone else's parts. But i decided on a couple consistent things i could do, like ghost zooms or tv simulator glitches upon displacement glitches, for the most part. Also brief spins. And i wanted to keep the second half looking clean because the lyrics and overall sound of that bit is quite clean ^^
On days where i didn't have much energy or mental strength to edit the part forwards, i slowly continued my masks.
A part of me thinks that i could've done a bit more with this part, but the other part of me thinks that it would've been a bit much to add anything else.
There's apparently this small ''background'' slip on the second Shadow mask if you look at the quills - i hadn't noticed that while editing, maybe because i hadn't switched to ''full'' preview quality, but eeeEEHHH, i didn't wanna go about rendering this again, so i kept it like that.
It had been quite hard to edit this due to being kept busy basically all semester by uni, but i pulled through. Really tried to still train my creative skill and knowledge too ^^ And i wish to continue doing so.
I believe i had speedrun finishing this part and then putting the rest of the MEP together in the same night. Everything was finished quite painlessly :3
This shall be my last upload of the year - Happy new year, everyone! i wish us all a good, safe, and happy new year, may things improve the most that they can, and may this new year bring us happiness, inner peace, and clarity!
All and all, i am happy with my part, and I'm very happy with everyone's work and the full MEP, too uwu
Please check it out if you can! c:
I hope y'all enjoy this little part, and i wish you all a very pleasant and safe day/night! ^w^

Yaaallll! Im baaaacckk!! Goodness gracious, its been too long ;w;
And! Im returning with a longer edit this time, which is not only a remake of one of my older edits - Sonic - Miserable - but also a gift for my amazing girlfriend, @EnchantedNebula, on our anniversary! ^w^ And thiiiss particular remake was made because this was one of the first videos of mine that Enchi saw and through which she found me, and she had suggested remaking this about 2 years back, and now this project has finally seen the light of day, after being worked on for quite some time x3
To Katie:
By now you have already seen this video, and im very happy that you really liked iiiit!~ ^w^ And i had time, so i was able to tweak it as well ;3 And im happy you liked the other gifties i got you tooo!~ :D cant wait to receive the one u have planned for me ;D uwu
Honey, I wanna let you know that memories, even little ones, from me visiting you late last year still come into my mind on a nearly daily basis, and not a single day goes by that i dont think of you 💖x33
The joy and inner peace and happiness that i feel around your presence is so immense and pure, and i cherish every moment we get to spend together x33 As i mentioned to you, youre the most wonderful treasure, and you mean the world - the sky, and all of the stars combined - to me; youre the brightest sunshine of my days 💖💖 uwu Im extremely excited to continue our journey through life together, and may these following years continue to bring us happiness and bring us even closer together - i love you with all my heart! ❤️❤️❤️ cx lots of hugs and cuddles from me to you hehe :D 💖
About the video itself:
BOOIIIII while this was 2 years in the making, frankly, the actual time it took to edit this was much less - it did still end up being some weeks straight of editing :o
i didnt wanna reuse every clip, bc imo some clip choices of mine just dont make sense in the original - so i experimented with a new clip flow; re-set some clips in 2022, then uuuhh- didnt edit this for 2 years after that i think ;w; legit, i think i came back to this project in around march-april of this year and finished setting the clips, and then decided that i want this to be my gift to Enchi this year for our anniversary c: however, i was still struggling with the next thing after clips - the style, the look, the feel - everything else. had no clue what i wanted this to look like for the longest time ;w; eventually, it struck me that i could try to show the irony in the lyrics by making my effect choices ironic - mixing together unreadable text, randomly flying 3D/2D shapes and text, moving lines. It was pretty chaotic. As i got to editing, i quickly realized that my idea was a bit Too chaotic to remake and Still be Visually understandable. So i decided to minimize the amount of stuff i wanted, and went with mostly readable fonts, overlaying text with different sizes, colors and blend modes (that was so fun btw uwu) and some light 3D elements. I made nearly every spinny shape at 0:06 manually in Vegas, and lemme tell ya, it was CLUNKY, so i stopped trying that after that attempt and just made overlays in AE instead ;w;
Used a lot of the lighten blend mode here, which i dont use often! Cool transparency effects with that one c:
And by the time this was done and i was watching back the comparison, i thought my remake was lookin like one of those company de-brandings where they lost their personality and identity lool XD
The only not-so good part about editing this was that i was quite hung up on making it perfect in my own eyes, which tired me out so much. Eventually, i beat out perfectionism and i still feel happy with this video - it makes me even happier that Enchi likes it c:
Some fun facts about the original edit!
I actually tried to match the clips with the lyrics somewhat, or how i understood them! Used dramatic clips and tried to capture the irony in the lyrics too.
I originally edited the video, and lots of my other old uploads, in 4:3! But back then, i didnt think 4:3 videos wouldve gained much attention, so i re-rendered my videos and stretched them to 16:9 exclusively for Youtube back then, and then also added my watermark to them. I also had no clue what disable resample was, hence why theres ghosting on my older uploads ^^ But i think 4:3 videos get more appreciation nowadays c: So now yall get to see the video in its original quality and resolution!
That shall be all now!~ I hope you all enjoy this remake! :3
Oh and ill be back in just a moment, trust me XD
I hope you all have a wonderful day/night, and that something brings a smile to you today ^w^

So this edit is finished!! Took me a while to get to writing this up bc Ive been really busy, and unfortunately, I have quite the workload.
But Ill try to type something up for this, despite that~
So then, I basically nearly finished this in the same 24 hours in which I started/uploaded the wip?? I reeeally got into this project and really got into editing it!
Ill start by briefly talking about my song and character choice here. So I found this song a few months back and I basically instantly looked it up on spotify lol And I increasingly thought like I wanted to edit with the song, but I just didnt know what character to use! I wasnt vibing with anyone. But the other day, along with slowly getting back into YGO after remembering about thiefshipping due to one other song, it hit me - I could edit with MARIK! And then I was really excited and began putting this together, and slowly that lead to me uploading that wip ksadhdakj
I think this song is in Swahili, also?
Well, yes, I had lots of fun putting this together and trying to form a flow with the transitions. I wanted them to be bouncy! And as I was making this, I got the sudden idea of including art from the manga and so!! I took out one of my Yugioh manga volumes and scanned it for this edit!!~
In general I believe this edit is my first *finished* edit in which Ive edited with Marik, as well as edited with my own manga scans ^^ I do really like how crisp the quality of the scans is!
It was also loads of fun to edit with Marik too! I dont uuusually edit with him, so it was neat to find clips that focused on him~ But I had a hard time remembering episode counts at points (pretty much all episodes besides episode 97 ^^), so I needed to reeeally look through my episode screenshot collection.
I sort of got tired towards the end of the first loop and started mostly copying and pasting event attributes, but I did have an idea of changing up the loop, and changing the colors of it and whatnot ^^ I nearly rendered out the loop and was planning on adding that as the second loop (cant imagine that that would be too great on the quality), but then I got myself together and copied/pasted the adjustment layer keyframes and triiied to align them well enough, as well as copied and pasted/made a duplicate of all of the clips and moved them over, and as a result, I er??? Somehow the second loop feels more on-beat that the first?? XD
Oooh and I also wanted to ditch the white watermark on black background thing for this video, and instead add that scene at the start with the audio of what he says, and to make the outro more interesting I decided to add a manga scan ^^
Some of the twixtor, as I expected, became a bit unnoticeable bc of the effects, but what can ya do ^^
Well then!! I really hope that yall enjoy this video, and have a very great day/night!!~ c:
