phan·tas·ma·go·ri·a
[noun]
1.a shifting series of phantasms, illusions, or deceptive appearances, as in a dream or as created by the imagination.

Shit. Youre old this year arent you?
Im not far behind..
So, this video, has a miniature storyline.
You know how Dante often dozes off in his Office chair? Do you ever wonder what he dreams and imagines?
What if it was never a pleasant thing he dreamt and instead kept invisioning nightmares, echoes of his past and the memories that haunt him day in and day out. Full of regret and wishing to change what happened.. he dreams of walking to no where, while the memories swirl around him.
Yeah real dark. YOU WILL LIKE IT.
I know you serectly love the dark arts. You closet goth you..!! D;
and would you know its been 4 years I have known you now! Look how much we have grown up together.. I have changed my style completely and ......you still make crappy parodies. Eh I guess not much has changed. LOL But nonetheless I still love you. Youre the best YT wife a guy can have..!!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Is this hell? or a nightmare?...
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Suppose you are wondering where I have been all this time?
Something really bad happened last month.
This was bad too the point where I nearly lost my relationship and my job. I didnt have any inspiration for anything, getting out of bed was a struggle just to face the day.
It got ridiculous too a point I knew I needed help, so for the entirety of September and the first week of October I went into counseling and therapy. I know I am a long way from recovering completely but I take everyday as easy as I can.
My problem was that I was running around doing everything for everyone else that I completely forgot to take care of myself and thats when it all went south.
Anyways, I have decided to put my health first and I cut a lot of stress out of my life, both online and offline.
I had to leave some studios and I havent spoken to friends in awhile. So if I dont appear to be talkative, please dont take it personally.
Im not after anyones sympathy as my old English teacher used to tell me if you are looking for sympathy its in the dictionary between shit and syphilis
thank you all my friends
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
I cant say how long I have spent editing this, too long I guess. I started this last year at some point, going through so many betas and songs, at least I found this song and the inspiration came back.I have much to thank to the composer TheEngimaTNG, as my personal thank you, I edited to his song collab with KristianaOneandOnly and I purchased his albums on iTunes.
I have linked his channel below, please check him out. I think I will be editing to more of his songs.
Also, on the bright side of things, a multifandom studio of whom I have never met or seen before, contacted me directly asking me to be involved with them, I felt so honored, I accepted and I picked Light Yagami as my rep character so this is a small shout out to MorningGloryStudios and its admin Werewolvesprotector

Slowly recall all your mind...
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
...mmm...yummy cookies *snore*
In first class cabin for the DMC5 HYYYPPE.
Of course I would have preferred a Sparda Origin story but oh well, this is just as good - seems to be a continuation of DMC4 which is pretty cool. Although fuckin brutal when Neros Devil arm is ripped off so he has to get a mechanic replacement by the granddaughter of Nell Goldstein... still epic!
Im getting myself a pre-order of the game, just pray they release it on Ps4 because ps5 might be out by then -
actually knowing me, I would buy a Ps5 just for this game. Goddammit XD
#realDMCfan
I have always liked the DmC reboot, the game just has amazing environment design like when youre in Limbo, a bunch of buildings exploded so hard that the law of gravity went Im sick of you assholes taking me for granted and stormed out lol there is just original aesthetics and it blew my mind really. I hope that DMC5 also has that kind of environment design, instead of those basic levels of sewers, ruined buildings and industrial areas that you get with standard AAA gaming these days.
Anyways here is a DMC Video I had started in April, my inspiration is on high so I was working on two full length videos at once - unfortunately my Final Fantasy X video that I worked on beside this one was blocked Worldwide even if I pitched the music beyond recognition I had it on my FB for awhile but I managed to get it up now!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNf9IiCOAEI
This one is pretty basic, I hardly used any effects. Just a slight colouring, overlay and some transitions - I wanted to challenge myself to not rely on effects so much so most of the time I worked on this video with the colouring and overlay disabled so I would edit with raw clips.
...Chillin like a vergillin.

Hey look at that, my editors block is over xD
You know what, this video would not have happened if I didnt learn the split screen effect from my friend AlexandriasDeathWish.
I know alot of people already know how to do this trick, but she was the one kind enough to show me how to do it and let me use it :)
So, in credit to her, this video is dedicated to my friend AlexandriasDeathWish. Enjoy my friend! and thank you for inspiring me out of my block.
Im really proud of this one, considering it was a bitch to render in the end - crapping out on a corrupted clip somewhere at 0:50 or something.
Im really into Gundam Wing at the moment, used to be a favourite anime when I was younger watching it on Toonami - didnt quite understand all the politicial bullshit of the anime when I was younger but re-watching it all and I understand it fully, bringing out a new understanding in it and rekindled my love for it.
Im not sure when this phase will run out but for now, Im editing Gundam Wing and I love it!! xD

▬▬▬▬▬ Lyrics ▬▬▬▬▬
Right before your eyes
Witness the travesty
The perpetrators of the crime are simply walking away
How the defenders of justice keep falling, and again, and again, you know...
That no one can deny
The horrors of our age
The puppets intricate lies will never wash them away
They cant distract us from from all thats appalling again, and again, and again, and again
Are you blind?
Are you cold?
How can you say...
[Chorus]
You dont have an opinion
And that youll give me a reason
That there is nothing left worth believing
In this world that were living in
(Oh)
Well I have an opinion
Oh...That there is always a reason
And their lies arent worth believing
We have to show were not giving in
(No)
The Wicked cant disguise
Their motives anyway
Its the ultimate crime
When we look the other way
And sit compliant while the devils keep stalling again, and again, and again, and again, and you...
You cannot justify
Your perfect apathy
Cast aside your indifference
Throw it away
And hear the voices of innocents calling again, and again, and again, and again
Are you blind?
Dont you know?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Oh youve got to fight for it
Dont let the villainous ones decide
How we define ourselves
And you profess to know
That ignorance is bliss
Now do you want to let them decide
Whether were alive or dead
You dont have an opinion
And that youll give me a reason
That there is nothing left worth believing
In this world that were living in
(Oh)
Well I have an opinion
Oh...That there is always a reason
And their lies arent worth believing
We have to show were not giving in
(No)

It was my absolute pleasure to edit with Sing! For years I had seen her name around the community, commenting on videos in common, judging her videos in the GMV Awards and when she opened up her own GMV Studio Requiem, I was super excited to join and very happy when she accepted me into it.
I have had the time of my life editing with her in that studio.
I sincerely hope I get another chance to edit alongside you again Sing!

We had decided to take the original theme/aesthetic approach from the Noir idea in the sign up and went further into it as it is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize cynical attitudes and sexual motivations.
We aimed at Lightning and her failed relationships with many other Final Fantasy men. We wondered why Lightning never was matched canonically with a man in the video game series and it is obvious her personality is a very dominating one. She is a strong/powerful woman and thus she doesnt need or depend on another - using this information, we edited her trying to have relationships with men but they never seem to work out - either they were not loyal or other underlying issues.
Whoever you ship Lightning with, it will never be Canon but we can always dream!
Ships in this video include

LightxSnow

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Hello all.
This was a MEP designed to tribute a good studio that I was apart of; Enigmatic Nightmare Studio, lead by my great friend Yokosen2.
So this MEP is tribute to her :)
From when it was posted up in August, it was horrible to organize. At least 5 people couldnt finish and I had to ask for help of the members of HDS {Hidden Devils Studio} to fill in the blanks. I had hoped this MEP will be up by Halloween but it was no where near finished when Halloween happened, but its finally finished so I am happy with it :)
Luckily for me, I was able to find help. - thanks to SilicaXDevil

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Thunder blowing up your horizon
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Would you believe me if I said I started this in 2015?
I started war with Sony Vegas, nobody won and then it was on pause forever.
tl;dr I got sick of seeing it in my folder of projects and so decided to finish it lol
This is a video to demonstrate the darkstyle aesthetic, as some people probably dont see Darkstyle editing often or know what it is. As you can see this editing is nearly the opposite of Candystyle.
Through the video I altered the styles to demonstrate each style a bit more clearly.
Note: I am no way perfect on any of these methods, I am merely an EXAMPLE of the types of Darkstyle, and the style is more than just 5 tricks. I have included links below to videos which demonstrate the style more accurately - please subscribe to the editors who edited these videos!
0:00 Soft -
More compared to raw, only slightly altering the dark colouring, using fades as transitions. This one is more focusing on the clips themselves to keep flow and momentum. Hardly any overlays used and no typography for the most part.
Videos of Soft Darkstyle:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLSWGEdabg8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=julsUbmZXNc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUi1qtYrRHY
0:50 Emotional -
Best known used with powerful songs, using lightly more harsh filmscratch overlay, slow transitions, colour bleeds or long fades. Often using clips to show their emotional pull touching scenes either tragic or heartwarming. The typography is basic but powerful.
Videos of Emotional Darkstyle:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKNfuXCOhfU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVkWpbgh_No
1:40 Technical -
Using more advanced transitions such as newblue and or other advanced effects/transitions, where the editing is focused more on the effects than the footage itself. The use of composite modes like dodge or multiply for text and overlays is common and masking is a huge effect used in this style also.
Videos of Technical Darkstyle:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M9aFuqeDfI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiaoBMefUW8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jICpLHlxQuM
2:40 Violent
My most common Darkstyle.
The colouring mostly black and white but with some hint of flesh tones or other darker colours like blue or gray. There is a use of fast transitions, and a mild to heavy use of use of movement overlays and quick fades. A filmscratch overlay placed on composite modes and overlays are a huge factor to the aesthetic style.
Videos of Violent Darkstyle:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh7F6-fOz3o
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVdSngpzSYY
3.30 Grunge -
Very heavy filmscratch grunge texture. Using fast transitions, colour switching to b/w erratically. This style usually comes with big text in either stylistic fonts, such as thick textured fonts with linear movements
