The original HTTYD crossover, that I never got to make til I figured it would be an awesome birthday video for a Tumblr friend Lizzy (impossiblesouffle-girl.tumblr.com/), a girl who loves Disney, animation, and aspires to act. Tangled is one of her most favorite movies ever. Owl City always works well in birthday vids (imo), his songs are always so happy and free! This one, from Wreck-It Ralph, is one of my favorites.
Anyway, you might notice the colorization tweaking in this vid. I'm getting Vegas feels from my Premiere Pro! It's exciting. I basically put a second video layer over the first, and set it on "Color" or "Hue" overlay. I might use this trick from now on. Oh and look at that, I managed to include sad, serious scenes for a happy vid. I can't help myself!!! XD And for any RotBTD fans out there, I totally kept the canon ships. Yep, Punzie would be happy with Flynn, and Hiccup with Astrid, in my book! ;)
Tangled always makes me cry, and editing this was so much fun! The movie is a million ways of quality, and I just better appreciate it now than I ever did before. Anyway, lots to catch up on -- so many birthdays soon. (I'm looking at you NF95, Fan, HT94...). Hope y'all are having a fine day!

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.

Well this is rather unprecedented!! Been a while since I posted a video, and part of that was Life, part of that was my computer being short on memory (hence screwing up my video editor) but my sister and I got into Star Wars recently and now Im pumped for The Force Awakens.
So, quickly now… why Luke Skywalker? Hes a simple boy with a far-flung dream to be something more than what his life was back home. Hes struck by tragedy at every turn and comes out of it a grown man, but still so very vulnerable. Hes good, convicted, wide-eyed, powerful… and through it all, still a child looking for a mentor, a confidant, a father. In the end it is his unadulterated, truly unconditional love that brings him to accept, love, and change his father, Darth Vader. The mythic power, angst, and Shakespearean glory is astounding. Ugh.
Im also really in love with the concept of the Force and how much mythology George Lucas put into his world. Like Tolkien, he created a universal story that fits the template of all great Myth and thus created the SW phenomenon that we have today. As for the Force, it was meant to have universal elements of all faiths and right now I love having that spiritual component suffused in this world.
❝ about the vid
The song is all me. Lately Ive been feeling like I need to get out and DO something with my life. So a lot of my online hiatus has been in reading, watching stuff, trying to capture all the culture I feel I missed. I have big dreams, and I want to one day fill the hole in my heart with all the things I always said Id be. This is the first time Ive used caption words like this; Im excited. I just love the feels we threw into this in general.
