Last year VY2 got stabbed on his birthday, so it only makes sense this year I should cut them a break and just give them an existential crisis instead w

So then! Another year, another set of tears w (both VY2's and mine). Confusion is a song I've wanted to cover for the longest time, along with the rest of the -Infinity- series, so when I finally stumbled across a .UST with the right tempo, I was determined to go through with it and have fun (thank you, KIRA!!) ! ! !

This cover started out as something I planned to either keep for myself or use to practice keeping my PVs simple but, as you can see, I failed both those endeavors pretty quickly w. My original goals were to replicate the original vocals as closely as I could and essentially create a fun still image to slap a visualizer behind, but one thing led to another and I realized that:

1.) the VY2 anniversary was fast incoming and I had nothing else prepared for it
2.) I desperately wanted to put AnimeEffects to use for once seeing as I've been having fun with it for a while
3.) I finally got my hands on a ton of new AviUtl plugins that are compatible with my system, so I was determined to give them a go

Which leads us to where we are now w

Editing this PV was definitely a challenge! And definitely my most ambitious project to date by sheer virtue of how much work went into making everything dynamic. Neither AviUtl nor my computer were particularly happy, and I had a number of limitations to deal with (like how despite being a 5 second loop, that VY2 animation apparently took up so much project memory that I couldn't add in the paper animation I'd made on the same file—thank god for some of those new plug-ins). Toss in the fact that I've been dealing with legitimately the most hellish finals season I've had in a long while and uh. Things got tough pretty fast w.

(and uh not at all helped by the fact that this translation was hard to parse and my attempts at making singable lyrics dissolved pretty much instantly so probably do not trust these translyrics by any means)

That being said!! I'm proud of how it turned out!! I love that I managed to place some easter eggs and get some really illustrative frames in there, and I love that it feels like my tuning's moving forward again—even if only by a little bit. I do want to think about pulling back and focusing on the basics for whatever comes next but. well.

(motions to every other time i've said that, including this project specifically)

Either way, yes, I understand the irony of covering this particular song, but—hey. We don't have to think too deep into the meta lore w.

I hope y'all enjoy! I might be back for a very, very small ZOLA anniversary thing this year and then it's the final stretch of work for the project I teased at the beginning of the year. I'm still hoping I can get it done by mid July, but we'll have to see w

Happy 11th anniversary, VY2!!
