Fяσzєи ❅ℓєт мє gσ » •Elsa || Anna• « theFrozenFuryfan95 2015-01-13 | Finally my first vid on my new channel + an old vid back up once again!When a friend of mine pointed out to me it was missing I was devastated, but it suddenly sparked the idea in me to start a backup channel. My original theNightFuryfan95 account is fine, but I hate it when a vid of mine gets blocked...just like THAT! I've wanted to start a second channel for a long time now and this felt like the perfect reason to give it a go. So my mission here is to hopefully save the other 3 vids of mine blocked virtually worldwide; maybe I'll get one up each month. (:What I did to rescue this one was obviously pitch it....like 4 times. YT made it clear it hated the song. I tried only pitching it by 0.5db, then 1.0db, then 1.5db, and I really didn't want to go much higher since it would ruin the VOs. You see the original file in Vegas was missing some stuff so I had to use .mp4 file which has all the audio merged together of course. So, I tried splitting it 4 ways and pitching the parts with VO only 1.0db and the rest 1.5db. And it WORKS....so far. Ughh, it sounds awful like this though! With those off notes where the splits are. Whaaa!!! However with all my re-uploads I'll provide a link to the original thats on my Docs here: drive.google.com/file/d/0B_IkEi_k5n-VbjdHQlQtampBT0k/view?usp=sharingSo your free to watch and download if you wish. (Trust me, it sounds waaay better.)Here is the original description (1st posted on July 3, 2014 9:53 AM. Its still there too for the possibility they, let it go...)______________My new version of "Let it Go", muhahaha!!I know I know, another Frozen vid (Specifically Elsa, but her relationship with Anna most of all); suppose I'm making up for the time I was too busy with other priorities over the year. I promise I'll be doing more Dragons soon though but for now I hope you enjoy this next icy blast from Frozen.Footage: FrozenSong: "Let Me Go" by Avril Lavigne (feat Chad Kroeger. aka: Nickleback) [trimmed]I told myself when I started this project I would only spend about a week on it with minimal effects......3 weeks and 8 tracks of effects later, not gonna happen; wishful thinking. I started June 12th (You remember what day that was right?) after hearing this song playing while at a grocery store, and yes it stopped me dead in my tracks listening. I swore it had to be Nickleback and after some searching I found its identity and quickly started forming a project in my mind. The inspiration was slicker than skating making this, due to the recent discussions with one of my "fellow" (pun alert!) fanatical frozen friends here. *winks* Along with the chorus and trying to lip-sync. As you can tell, this song had a multitude of opportunities to lip-sync, which was one of the reasons why I wanted to do it. That finale with the chorus was building some pretty jagged red icicles out of my editor and myself. ;)Originally, I wasn't even going to add VOs or include that 0:17 sec introduction but I went ahead with it in the end because I liked the music. Believe it or not I did all that LAST, and it was by far the hardest part to put together out of the whole vid. Sorry its so mistimed on the additive dissolves (spent over an hour on them). I finally just....let them go. What I like in this song is how it changes on the third round with the chorus on how she now HAS let it go and put the past/memories behind her. Unexpected, pivotal twist in the song too that reminds me so much of Frozen's "Let it Go".So, a song this perfect for the movie HAD to have already been done quite a few times. Usually, I always check but I got carried away on inspiration for this thing; so I froze the fjord and crossed over without even thinking. Heres a list of some other amazing vids done with it:youtube.com/watch?v=00QmvPCdcw4&index=4&list=PLyFqb8WBKBN6VKxZRhLmpno2DzfuE_woWyoutube.com/watch?v=PCdXoCuATNsyoutube.com/watch?v=0TTIT-P5dLs*Sighs* Okay, IDK what else I can say about this project. The making on it was so fresh so I was able to recall most of it, but due to the recent sad news surrounding my good friend here some of the joys gone out in this vid and I'm sooo ready to be done with it have it published.
Heather ~ Jolene (REUPLOAD) theFrozenFuryfan95 2025-03-06 | This vid has been blocked for too long on my main channel for my US and Canadian viewers so lets try it fresh on my backup channel here. Such a shame cause it was in the top 5 of my most watched vids but now you can enjoy it again! The recent passing of Dolly's husband had me feeling nostalgic for her music and I learned she was inspired by a girl flirting with her husband at a bank for writing this song. 😅This video is non-profit, all the credits and merit go to their respective owners of the movies and music. I just wanted to make a fan-made video for fun.This video is NOT intended for an audience of children.~ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION~NOTE: You will need to turn your volume up to hear the vid. I turned down the song to match the voices little better which are always lower.So, this is not a HTTYD vid; I don't think it even qualifies for a Hiccstrid. This is a "Heather" vid. What else can I say? I liked her, lol! Footage: Riders of Berk --Episode: 10 (Heather Report part 1) I guess that was a given huh? Plus episodes 11 & 12 and How To Train Your Dragon.Song: "Jolene" by Dolly Parton (I like her ;) Now, believe it or not, I've had this idea to make this way back when I first heard of this Heather character. This song instantly flashed into my brain and I've been waiting n wondering for months if it would work! (I've always loved this song by her! ;) Other then the "auburn hair" I think it went REALLY well (better then I imagined). I was not expecting such "Emerald green eyes" though! Ohh how wicked! I made this in 2 days!! Like all my spoof like vids, I had a hilarious time editing this together!! I have never chopped up an episode so much; it was coming down to the wire near the end though. And speaking of the ending; Don't ask me how that played out; I don't even know myself! You can make what you like; im sure your going to have some thoughts on that. Oh yeah HD14, I got the finale idea from you and your "Strange Things Are Happening to Astrid" vid LOL! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK-dtSVx_qY But I tried to keep it original from your own Heather vid. Since I used a lot of VOs (left the volume up really) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8tssGA7p2Q&feature=g-user Hope you get as big a kick as I did on this! OMG!! "You have GOT to be kidding me!!" NO WAY ON THAT THUMBNAIL!! The only one with Heather (unbelievable itself!) YT officially loves that look on her face in that clip, GOSH!!
❂ＭＥＰ♯2~Aиу Oтнєя Wαу theFrozenFuryfan95 2016-10-01 | Well does any one even remember this MEP? Even those of you with parts in it? Uhh-huh...yeah ummm, lets just say there were some issues getting this MEP done.Let me just say first off a quick thank you to those who made your parts on time, for your cooperation, for those willing to be backup, and most of all your patience! YOU DID FANTASTIC AND I LOVE YA FOR IT!!Now the reasons this MEP took.....just don't ask how long.....to finish was due to a number of people dropping out and not responding, and also me for not being persistent enough in getting people to do them - do them right - and get it ALL done. So I apologize for my lack of leadership on this MEP. I owed you people with finished parts this upload.Its been hanging over my head till tonight and IDK what made me open it up and I forced myself to add the last of the outro and *poof* Here we go!With all that said, I STILL wouldn't mind doing more MEPs, though, I will have to do them a little differently - starting with fewer parts/people so there is less chance of people leaving me and everyone else hanging. So we will see....______PARTS:~Intro~Part 1. Big Hero 6 (Dreamdust106 ) Part 2. Supernatural (S Crowley) Part 3. HTTYD 1 (sugarvirus)Part 4. The Avengers (Mine)Part 5. Gravity Falls (itosc12)Part 6.

MEP~ Adagio For Strings (Pt.3 For Frukinee!) theFrozenFuryfan95 2016-04-21 | Happy Birthday to Frukinee!!Full MEP here: youtube.com/watch?v=d9KOVmsxeM4Special Thanks to Aqualetra for inviting me to join in this B-day MEP and hosting it: youtube.com/channel/UCOOAzLACxYuQg5GmH2xH-KANothing much to say about this. I had 2 months to do it and I just focused on Hiccstrid,....and I also lucked out for once on the thumbnail. Dang.
Animash ✈ Tʀʏ Eᴠᴇʀʏᴛʜɪɴɢ *Announcement!* (re-upload) theFrozenFuryfan95 2016-03-25 | *BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE for my good friend, thefanvideoer2, for generously sharing her own pitched version of the song since both our original vids were blocked in 233 countries. *grr, YT!* Anywho, THANK YOU again Fan! I did keep the original up on my main channel because I didnt have the hear to delete all those sweet comments people left. Who knows? Maybe one day YT will loosen up...And side note: This backup channel already has 180 subs? HOW THE HECK DID THAT HAPPEN? Hey, I must have 180 dedicated friends, thank you ALL SO MUCH! =)*Original Description*FINALLY!! =)I can share with the world my BIG NEWS! Remember I was hinting at a dream of mine I wanted to tell you guys? (Assuming you read ALL my descriptions) Well this is it! Now, I have my papers in, my passport, my fees paid + grant, and YES, I AM GOING TO SCOTLAND!! For a Study Abroad trip THIS June for 3 weeks! (June 1st-21st) I can't believe I did this; I've been working at it since last October! I just know it"s something I'm meant to do. I haven't felt this strong or energized about anything (Except editing) in so long. And don't worry, I'll be taking LOADS of pics/vids and make videos for you guys of my trip when I get back! *I JUST CAN'T WAIT!* A Scandinavian country, one of the places that was a source of inspiration for Dragons!! Oh man, I'm confident I'll learn so much, and from those "new mistakes" I'll surely make along the way but frankly, I'm not scared this time! Nothings in my way! (Oh wait, I've never been on a plane before. Help me!) I'll also be graduating from my two year college once I'm done too...which is KINDA a big deal. I never thought I'd see that day! Whew...just two more months.Okay, I know I probably sound overstimulated and not as calm and collected like usual, but this is a rare moment where I AM more characters like Rapunzel, Anna, and Judy Hopps. (Hence they're emphasis.) Animated, optimistic, courteous, caring, lively...so many adjectives...pretty much cut from the same cloth personality-wise, Disney. (Gee, Idk why I didn't throw in Honey Lemon from BH6 while I was at it.) I'm gonna relish this Joy right now if you don't mind, before reality sets in that is. And this song has captured my pin-up enthusiasm for so long; I only wish I could have done the whole thing. Man doesn't it just get stuck in your head? =DAbout the vid:Eh, I'm afraid its just one of those vids only I/the editor can fully understand and appreciate the clip choices. I tried not to take pains with it and go with whatever felt right or I related to most. So its VERY messy and poorly edited in terms of clips and timings, IMO. This was supposed to be ready LAST Sunday while I was on Spring Break....now its over. *Dang that was fast* And originally it was suppose to just be Brave since its strictly Scottish, but I couldn't help but relate A LOT to Rapunzel and see how much the song fit her. So once I made that decision, I figured Anna in Frozen also relates for the first time in forever. I'll add her. Oh but if I use my 2nd favorite movie I MUST use #1 with Toothless. (Because I'm ALWAYS a Night Fury ;). Then came Zootopia. I've seen it technically 3 times by now and completely obsessed with it and Judy & Nick. I'll have to make vids with it too, but this was just an excuse to edit with it now - and Im kinda Judy Hopps right now prepping for my trip, ahe. So there you go, one blown-out, crazy animash! *giggles*___Video #134Footage: How To Train Your Dragon 1&2, Brave, Frozen, Tangled, Zootopia.Song: "Try Everything" by ShakiraTime: Err, 1.5 weeksEditor: Sony Vegas Pro 12
MEP || Crystals (Part 4 for thefanvideoer2) theFrozenFuryfan95 2016-01-29 | And here is my part for thefanvideoer2's All-Time Favorite Movie MEP. youtube.com/watch?v=ficOC_mhk-QI cant believe I DID get my FAVORITE movie for this favorite movie MEP! Yes, I would have to say I love HTTYD1 more; mainly because I've made so many wonderful memories and friends through it, not to mention my passion! Plus, NOTHING can top that Touch Scene or the whole Forbidden Friendship scene really. How To Train Your Dragon will always be the most sacred movie to me. Thanks again Fan for letting me be a part of this cool multi-editors project! =DIDK what it is with MEP but they always make me want to experiment with something, try new effects, test the boundaries of my abilities. This time I tried my very first masks on SV12 Pro! Gee, and they're not that hard; I actually found them easier than on After Effects. I made two in fact here; I have always wanted to mask the Touch Scene. Chroma Keyer does a pretty good job but the colors are so similar it didn't fully give that sense of depth. Anywho, I hope you enjoy it!I think the default thumbnail is so pretty, I'm gonna keep it, ahehe.Footage - How To Train Your DragonMusic - "Crystals" by Of Monsters and Men
MEP || ᕼTTYᗪ ~ ριє¢єѕ ♥ (Happy Birthday Lyz!) theFrozenFuryfan95 2015-10-31 | In case it wasn't made clear: five people did not help me make this 0:30 sec part.....this 0:30 sec part was in a MEP with five people....and I had part 1, which sounded like an intro to me so, there ya go. (;FULL MEP: youtube.com/watch?v=i4XvKKrD5IoAND, this a special MEP present for our dear friend Betty...err.. JustLyz, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!! XD•JustLyz• youtube.com/user/BettyHTTYDGoing on two years now isn't it? Man how time on YT just flies! And you have been a friend to me all the way since then with your kindness, generosity, and of course awe-inspiring - one of a kind videos!! I just wish you the best best life has to offer ya Betty! Thank you for all the good times, and good vids! Always a joy and a blessing when your name pops up in my inbox, whether its a vid or a comment or message or reply, no hesitating! You're such a gifted editor and never forget that my friend! Have a wonderful B-day and Halloween as well!_____Now what can I say about this part? Well, its all from the first movie! The lyrics reminded me so much of 15 year old Hiccup so I stuck with the original classic with very little text because I was too lazy...I mean busy...to do more. Yes, and I rendered it 4 times as to get the names right in the intro, lol! But it was notta problem (; Hope you enjoy; Everyone did such a fabulous job on the whole MEP!_____Main Channel: youtube.com/user/theNightFuryfan95?feature=mhee(Surely I don't need to put the info here.....ITS ALL IN THE VIDEO!)
MEP || Pσ¢αнσитαѕ ~ ѕαи¢тυαяу (Part 10 for engsarak!) theFrozenFuryfan95 2015-08-15 | My part for ensarak's very 1st MEP!! I'm so proud to be a part of because she is such a talented editor and caring friend of mine xDThere are still a few parts open if you are interested here: youtube.com/watch?v=Qp4lGOioQV8I can't believe it, I signed up for this MEP around noon today and finished before evening! (And no I haven't been working on it ALL day) I got it done in about 2 hours or less. I know its only 10 secs but 10 secs can be 10 hours to some editors! *No joke* Oh and yes, I can't deny engsarak, your recent vid with Pocahontas and John Smith absolutely inspired me to want to edit with this movie in the first place. I've always admired this movie and its such a disney classic! (; youtube.com/watch?v=iIsoJNlbWe4Anwho, I'm pretty pleased with the results despite the record time arranging it. Tested out one of my new sparkles I thought fit the mood. So I had lots of fun! Also, come to think of it, this is my first vid after upgraded my computers to Windows 10. Seeing how it handled Vegas and rendering was of utmost importance. Pleased to see its handled everything perfectly because I really like the upgrade so far (:__________Footage: PocahontasSong: "Sanctuary" by Casey BrevesEditor: Sony Vegas Pro 12
MEP#2~Any Other Way (18/18 PARTS) theFrozenFuryfan95 2015-05-16 | ***UPDATE!!!***Alright, here we go again for a second round with MEPs! Thought I'd be helpful and include the lyrics; yeah, I know kinda cheated using those but hey- shortcuts a shortcut, hehe. Been liking several of these guy's songs lately and I thought this one would be good for an MEP. All the parts are the same length (little of 10 secs) except part 18 which is slightly longer since I was too lazy to even it out from the outro. I'm going to put a deadline once all the parts are selected this time and see how it goes also so be on the look out for it. Please read or re-read the following rules!! _________• Rules:1. First come, first serve. If you didn't get the part you wanted, I'm sorry, but you'll be offered another one, in case it's open :) And only ONE PART per person. (Though since this one has more parts that could change in case of low participating)2. Just about any fandom is allowed, but preferred Non/Disney or Marvel. TV-shows, cartoons and GMVs, like OUAT, Avatar, Teen Titans, Call of Duty/Battlefield or whatever out there accepted. Absolutely *NO* crossovers or Anime allowed!! (Sorry I'm not a fan of either, except Pokemon.) 3. Only ONE fandom per part too. (Except for sequels like HTTYD2) And your allowed to choose whatever fandom I've selected once more too. But please not right next to it! (I feel its only fair.)4. Any program is allowed to use. Please, upload your part in HD and fullscreen! *HD IS required too.* :)5. You're allowed to put your logo in, but please, keep it simple, as I might put a frame around the video. If you don't I'll have to put one on for you. ;)6. Effects are allowed, just don't over do it. Lyrics are also encouraged. :)7. Please, do NOT change or cut anything in the audio :) If you're going to do a voice over, please send the audio separately, and tell me which timecode it shall be in :)8. Please send your part to me through Sendspace or Docs. Encouraged to upload it on YT too. (Depending on how funky YT is it might be the only way I'll see it.)9. DEADLINE: 10.

❂ＭＥＰ♯1~Lυℓℓαву theFrozenFuryfan95 2015-05-05 | BEHOLD, my first MEP!! Only took 5 months to complete, but hey, I think it was worth the wait. Don’t you?

But there was no deadline so everyone was allowed to work at their own pace, including me. My hard drive died on me during spring break back in the second week of March. I was able to backup and save everything (first and foremost all my projects) before the end but I didn’t have all the MEP files accessible on my laptop so I couldn’t add the parts till I got my new hard drive. Being busy with college I didn’t get to fix it till almost a month later, but thankfully I was able to do a system image repair and it restored my computer EXACTLY the way it was before the crash. So, the project was back on track again and finally got em all collected and in position! Lookin good folks! Then I had the hardest time uploading it for some reason; never fully would process and would delete all thumbnails every time I public it. Ever happen to any of you? IDK how its up now; guess it fixed itself. Sorry if it spammed anyone though. Thanks for being patient and sticking with me through this. (: I’d like to do another MEP, but IDK... This one didn’t go as well as I had hoped. It seems like when I said I’d do monthly MEPs, EVERYONE started doing MEPs. Not that I mean that as a bad thing- I think its fantastic that everyone's been getting into em and seeing them working together- but there’s only so many parts people can do; so I know I shouldn’t expect people to join mine when I’ve been too busy to join yours. I thought I’d give it one more go, next week, this time with a deadline and see how if its worth doing; I haven’t given up on the monthly, yet. What do you guys think? Would you like me to do another one?...........My Main Channel: youtube.com/user/theNightFuryfan95?feature=mheeMy Tumblr: http://thenightfuryfan95.tumblr.com
》DreamWorks Infographic《 [College Project] theFrozenFuryfan95 2015-04-24 | Ohhh there are so many things I wish I could change.... This project just ultimately proved that infographics just aren't my thing. My mind is too heavily wired to sync with the music. For example, in a true infographic you shouldn't need to pause to read any of it. Yeah, definitely not gonna get points for that. Other than that, about the same elements as my previous project. Trying to keep a recognizable theme with a few surprises here and there. Thought it be cool to have some little "fun facts" or trivia in there on each movie but I started taking shortcuts after awhile cause it was taking too long. Also planned on narrating it, but the only way to do that was to record myself and I'm just not quite ready for that either, even though it would have helped you guys out in reading it. These things I believe are better narrated. I'm not entirely proud of how it turned out; probably been thinking to long and to hard on it. I was already late in submitting it and had to get an extension. It took awhile for me just to come up with some kind of design or layout and I got stuck countless times.Then the music wouldn't cooperate so I started merging several soundtracks. I wanted to polish it up with some VO clips but I am just running out of time and gotta let it go. It finally got to the point where I just had to compromise with my mistakes or problems and just finish the darn thing! I'm about sick of looking at it honestly. I only have a week to do my last project....I need a miracle, but it should be easier and a whole lot shorter.With all that said, I did thoroughly enjoy learning all about the history of DWA!! That was the best part, even though some of it will be outdated in less than a year. If you find any info that seems inaccurate please tell me and I'll annotate it. Wikapedia was my main friend; in media credibility is not as big a deal...you know how it is. But there wasn't time to do research anyway. However I feel better in noting my sources:http://www.dreamworksstudios.com/about/historyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DreamWorks_Animationhttp://dreamworks.wikia.com/wiki/DreamWorks_AnimationElectricDragon505's 7 "Animation Lookback videos: youtube.com/user/ElectricDragon505/featuredAlso a BIG THANK YOU once again to thefanvideoer2 and her help with some of the info and suggesting the Homeland theme score from Spirit. It was the first thing that spurred me on the layout. As a fun fact from me, I've only seen 23/31 of their movies. Clearly I'm a bit biased with Dragons, lol!Footage: Is of course all 31 movies of dreamworks. Mostly trailers.Scores: "Homeland" by Hans Zimmer. [Spirit] "Test Drive" by John Powell. [HTTYD] "Zoosters Breakout" by Hans Zimmer. [Madagascar]
》Riders of Berk Opening《 [College Project] theFrozenFuryfan95 2015-03-23 | So this is one of my projects I've been working on in college in my motion graphics class. For this assignment, we had to create an "Opening" for either a real or fictional movie or TV show. So as no surprise, I chose Riders of Berk, again.The goal here was to be around at least 30-60 secs and use a combination of elements such as video, text, graphics, music, pictures, etc... Along with some of the typical elements you usually find in an opening: Title of the show/movie ✔Producer’s nameDirector’s nameEditor’s name (Tempted to put my name there, lol)Featured cast members ✔Footage from the show ✔Icons or symbols ✔Music ✔Textures & shapes ✔_______________Sooo, my first project was rather too personal to show publicly but I thought I'd share this one with you all. Well, what do ya guys think? I guess its slightly long for an intro, but I wanted to use a good chunk of that score. I've wanted to use it for something special and this felt absolutely perfect! Don't you think? Its a lot more energetic and fun then before. You Dragon fans should recognize it. This was the score in the end credits of the Book of Dragons short film; never knew why they didn't feature it more. I don't know what it is with me and this show though: First I made a trailer youtube.com/watch?v=FgbXeaKEWaI for it and now a new opening...honestly I never thought the other was enough. To me it should have been "something" like this, related to the Dragon book since it is so significant, and with a proper intro for each character/dragon. Though I tried to retain some of the features/style of the original.Whew, I am so over it though! Man I have worked overtime, all through my Spring Break too trying to get this together. This project was one of the biggest challenges, but its also the first one I really worked with my new software, After Effects. That beast has a steep learning curve I swear, but I finally made a breakthrough and learned a lot from this second project we did. Especially moving around in the 3D environment using the virtual camera, light, and also masking. Which are things I have been most interested in learning about doing.What I did here was arrange it in my video editor, Sony Vegas: Movie Studio 12, then make each characters parts: Astrid (0:18-0:21) Snotlout (0:27-0:31) Fishlegs (0:36-0:41) The Twins- Ruff and Tuff (0:47-0:52) and Hiccup (1:04-1:08) in separate compositions in After Effects. I know Hiccup should have probably been first since he's the "main guy" but to me he suited that moment in time with the music, ahe. Oh and Hiccup was also the very FIRST mask/part I made so yeah, its the worst! I used the pen tool for most of my mask since I haven't figured out the Roto Brush thing yet. I can't imagine it being any easier though...that last mask with Hiccup and Toothless flying was the hardest. Since they were constantly in motion, I literally had to do that one, in frames, one by one! It took me 4 hours just for that scene! *PAINFUL* I could have easily Chroma Keyed it in Vegas, but I'd miss the 3D quality and positioning I can do in AE. There are several abilities in it that I think my video editor can do just as well (and easier). I feel like that program is so underrated, and my experience with key frames in it has helped me in transitioning into AE thankfully.The next big step was creating that "open book" style at 1:19-1:26. I was properly inspired to do that idea, ever since I saw this talented editor to something similar here: youtube.com/watch?v=M5nqVapoGe0&list=PLyFqb8WBKBN6vZIA-gfX2W1veZaAZpWI5&index=23 Of course hers is far more authentic, but I've been longing (you have no idea how badly) to do this storybook idea for the past 8 months and FINALLY, I DID IT! Its taken me all weekend, all day of the weekend and night to make those 8 secs...I'm kinda proud of it if I do say so myself. My only regret is not finding a way to mask off the Japanese writing on the cover at the beginning (Yeah, I took shortcuts and used some trailer shots). See I wasn't alone in the open book idea though!I hope to upload my next two projects in this course for you to see, maybe. Help to keep me looking somewhat active because here comes the bad news: I'm "officially" going on Hiatus starting right now till I finish this semester (First week of May I think). With this class I really want to learn as much as I can and as you can see it takes A LOT of time; time I can't spend on my edits. That, and my hard drive also crapped out on me over my Spring Break. *takes deep breath* I may need to vent soon....__________Footage: Riders of Berk Eps 1-20 (I think), Riders of Berk Trailers, Book of Dragons.Music: "Book of Dragons - Finale" by David BuckleySoftware: Sony Vegas Movie Studio 12 & After Effects CCDate Started: March 8th, 2015___________My Main Channel: youtube.com/user/theNightFuryfan95?feature=mheeMy Tumblr: http://thenightfuryfan95.tumblr.com
