The experience of survival is the key, to the gravity of love
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬•❃°•°❀°•°❃•▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
I've been finding myself wanting to remake my old edits for a really long time now. Perhaps it's due to the nostalgia, perhaps I'm trying to reconnect to a time when editing felt simpler - when I didn't pressure myself to be perfect. I tried to stay true to the rawness of the original edit, while making slight adjustments to try and enhance the edit ever so slightly. I'm hoping this will be the first of a series of remakes, time permitting.
I edited this song multiple times with Yuri anime in the past, and Kannazuki no Miko had me in a chokehold in 2007. Objectively, it's poorly written and has some major red flags, but it is still a guilty pleasure and I still enjoyed editing it with higher quality footage.

I really wanted to get this out for Clerith day, unfortunately I didn't have time as I started this video on the fly and in November, so I was cutting it fine. This is also my first video using only rotoscope instead of masking. It's far from perfect and not as clean as it could be in comparison to frame by frame masking, but it is what it is and it is the fastest I have ever completed a full video. The perfectionist in me is screaming, but my hands and wrists are grateful.
I really love Aerith's character, and I love Briana White's version of her.
I also knew as soon as I saw the Gold Saucer performance I had to make a lip sync video. I'm still living in Y2K when it comes to editing. One of my earliest uploads was a GMV of Yuna from X-2 singing. Nostalgia really hits hard. Although, hopefully I've improved since then.
•❃°•°❀°•°❃•
• // Concept/Story:
This video is based on the rumours from back in the day on the multiple methods on how to revive Aerith. Breed a Golden Chocobo, max out a CURE materia, collect the Earth Harp. Desert Rose, and Guide Book, win all the battles in Gold Saucer's 3D arena including the 5th invisible enemy and gift the items to a man in Kalm. Go back to the Church and find Aerith's ghost. L1+R1+Circle. This IS Hades. Let's roll, homie.
Obviously, there's no way to revive Aerith, so this is where the video picks up. Cloud is haunted by his guilt, visits the church for old time's sake and has one last glimpse of Aerith while he remembers.

Multiple uploads in 1 year? Why, this might actually be a comeback...
I started this concept in 2012 (mixing/mastering the audio), and finally started editing the project in December 2017. Here we are almost 10 years later with a finished project. Better late than never, I guess ^^;;
I originally started this project as a masking entry for the GMV Awards all those years ago, but masking can be a massive pain and finding the motivation is tough. Some masks are from 2017/2018 and the better ones are from the last month. Rinoa, why do you run like that, why do you have to torture me so?
I'm just so happy to finally have this project finished. I hope you enjoy it :3

Happy New Year!
I started this project in May 2021 and really wanted to have it finished for January 2022 but life got in the way. I also felt like the video was ~missing~ something and decided that I would continue working on the project to challenge myself and add typography. I'm really glad I did because I had a lot of fun doing it and found myself hyper focused on editing again, which I never thought was possible. I hope you like it!

I really wanted to focus on Cloud's guilt surrounding the loss of Aerith, and thought that this song fit perfectly for their relationship. Even though Aerith may not be physically around for him, she was always there in spirit supporting Cloud.

This is definitely not a perfect edit, by no means, but I wanted to edit something even though I'm really rusty and feel like I'm a beginner all over again! ^^;;
I knew I wanted to edit with Aerith and have use a voice over, and well I accomplished that at least :D
I honestly didn't intend to edit the whole song but somehow it happened o-o;;

I actually begin editing this back in 2016, life happened, and picked it up again a few days ago. I tried to challenge myself to try using effects and layer blends with only the first episode of Guilty Crown and the openings ^_^
(I also finished this off while drinking over at my pals on St Patrick's day, because that's how lame/introvert/prettycoolaye)
I absolutely love Inori.
Lets all just appreciate her and her story and everything about Guilty Crown Hnnnngh.

Dear Friends, subscribers and fellow you-tubers,
You may have noticed my inactivity lately. Well, for that I apologise and present you this video. I had to vent. Something terrible has happened in my life, and I have felt that i could no longer go on. Everything was going right, and then it all had to come crashing down and take me along with it.
Most of you will not know that the past year I had a lot of trouble trying to care for my mother, who was mentally ill. We would have many arguments and although I loved her, I had turned my back in order to save my own self. After months and months of trying to get her help, it finally arrived and she was taken into hospital. After a few months she slowly was getting better and better, each time I saw her.
Slowly, the bonds of Mother and Child began to grow, and she was given her own house. But they changed her medication, and she took a turn for the worse. The side effects were bitterly cruel, I had complained, I was worried. Her care workers would sort it out. So I went on a little holiday to visit my boyfriend, to escape it all. When I got back, I was informed my mum was missing. I searched for her, but nobody had seen her. I called her care workers.
A few, perhaps many hours later, I received a call. My mother was found dead in her house. She had gone. She was all alone. The pain it has given me, will linger for the rest of my life. I have many regrets, much stress. But for one thing, I am glad. My last words to her when she was living, "I love you, mum."
The cause of death is still not known after a week. There is going to be an inquest, which could take 10 weeks. Please. Let her have passed on in her sleep.
And that is why I present you with this. It is the only video that I have been able to work on.

Aeris finds herself in the lifestream, on that cold and brutal day. There, she meets Gaia, the guardian of the stream, whom thus summons Rinoa the angel of death, to take her to her final resting place. But before Aeris can pass, she must remember how she died. Rinoa summons upon a flashback, and Aeris is given the closure she needs and is able to pass to her final resting place, guided by Rinoa.

Fields of Hope Fanfiction Project with duVillage
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬•❃°•°❀°•°❃•▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
• Fanfiction Project:
This song is released as part of duVillage's Kajiura Yuki tribute album: FanFiction. The project consists of 20 full covers and is over 70 minutes in length. It features 32 performers and editors from 15 countries!
This song was struck by the bad luck curse. duVillage had to change vocalists twice, because the original vocalist became sick during the recording period. And in the process of the video's creation, I've had to purchase a new laptop to get all of my other projects finished.

•// Story:
Border = Flashbacks/ Memories
Cloud is surprised to see Aeris taking care of the flowers as he enters into the church in Sector 6 where they once had met and become very close friends. But Alas, his dreams were to be shattered as her figure dissapeared into dust and his geostigma flared up. Aeris had died 2 years beforehand in attempt to summon Holy.
But during his geostigma fit, Cloud felt a warm peace, calm and hope. Aeris was there whilst he was unconscious, taking care of him. Shortly after, Tifa enters the church. She knew cloud visited there everyday. However in the distance she sees Aeris disappear. Just a hallucination. Suddenly she heard the creek of a door, and as she spun around all consciousness left her. She fainted into the flowers.
Zack was once Tifa's friend and Cloud's comrade all those 7 years ago. Like Cloud, Aeris and Zack had once met in the church and developed attachments for each other. But both Aeris and Cloud's heart was shattered the day he died in battle.
Cloud awoke after having seen this in his dreams, only to find himself next to Tifa in their room in Edge. He couldn't help but remember that time 7 years ago when Sephiroth brutally murdered those in his and Tifa's hometown of Nibelheim. Cloud had been riddled with guilt for years about the death of both Zack and Aeris and the pain he had caused Tifa for various reasons during the years.
As Tifa announced that she forgave him, Cloud was taken a back to a peaceful place, where Aeris reassured him, as she revealed herself to Cloud. As he turned around, his comrade Zack was there to reassure Cloud that he had Hope. He had them even if they had passed on to the lifestream.

I absolutely love this song, so much I wanted this played at my mums funeral last August, but sadly my family wouldn't allow it because they didn't agree with the lyrics -.-"
So then I decided I had to make a video to this song, I've had terrible vid block for quite some time now, but making this was really easy. There were lots more things I wanted to do with it, but I knew I had to finish it really soon :3
I tried to concentrate on lyric matching and flow ^_^ I hope you guys like it!

Dear Onee-Sama,
I honestly believe that the only reason I have so many subscribers is because you invited me into Winged Muse. Without that invitation I wouldn't have had gotten close to so many of the group, and I wouldn't have been able to grow as I have done in editing. I truly thank you for that.
I'm also very happy that even with all of those subscribers you still take time to give me time of day. It makes me really happy. And all the advice you've given me on life situations and when I've been feeling down or really needed a pick me up, you've always been there despite being really busy. You're an Angel! ^_^
I cannot thank you enough for everything -hearts-
• // 500 Subscribers:
Wow. I seriously thought I would never hit such a large number! Thank you you guys! I really appreciate it so much.
Without you, I wouldn't get any feedback on my videos and I wouldn't have been able to grow or learn from mistakes either.
I want to thank you all for subscribing, because without you there wouldn't be much point in uploading my videos. I make them for you to enjoy, so please enjoy :)
