NOTE: Due to a copyright claim on the music, I had to cut out the AMV section from the episode, as well as a section near the end, so you'll have to watch it on the editor's channel (video is linked below). Sorry for the inconvenience!
Hello friends, welcome to episode 14 of What Makes It Great! This is gonna be a long one -- this time we're looking at UnluckyArtist's a Flash of Light, one of my favorite videos from 2021, and maybe my favorite video from this editor (who already has a REALLY GOOD catalog of videos to choose from). This video in particular though is just an immaculately-constructed thing, with a very creative use of overall editing structure that UA uses to build his narrative and create stunning moments of emphasis. He also makes great use of match cuts throughout to impart a seamless flow to the video, and overall it's just an absolutely wonderful video that I can't get enough of. I hope you enjoy the video and discussion!

![[MEP] - Here But Maybe Later](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lduQ6bcQzmY/mqdefault.jpg "[MEP] - Here But Maybe Later
Hi all this is an MEP I took part in that I want to share with you all. Below is copy/pasted from Radical_Yues entry on the .org; she is the one who organized/headed up this MEP. In lieu of not being able to attend NDK because of COVID, which is an anime con I look forward to being a part of every year, a bunch of us who usually get together during that anime con decided to edit an MEP instead Im quite fond of the result! I hope you like it too!
So this was actually the brainchild of Moonpie. She messaged me out of nowhere and was like We should do an MEP with some of the editors who normally go to NDK since we all cant hang out this year!
A bunch of us had an itch to edit and loved the sentiment so we said HECK YEAH and decided to go for it.
We wanted to make something that we all put a decent chunk of effort into while also having some fun. This is a video that shouldnt be taken too seriously as its really just a bunch of buddies trying to have a good time but I know a lot of the editors who took part in it really pushed themselves to try new things or learn new techniques.
Mega ultra credit to ailynerie for really busting ass and providing feedback for literally every track.2020 has absolutely sucked but all praise be to the mighty internet for letting us still connect and have some fun together making AMVs.
