Thanks so much for everyone who participated, you guys are always so lovely to work with, I appreciate you all so much! Special thanks to blueisthecolourofourplanet and gravepaper for taking an extra part!!
The theme of this MEP was: Repressed & unhealthy desires + the madness and obsession that comes with it. Participants were asked to showcase their chosen character's struggle with an unhealthy desire or obsession that they were trying to repress.

--------------------Medicate Me || Editor Society QQ ChallengeMetallic Lieutenant2025-06-11 | I wanted to make this so much longer but I have made the mistake of taking on waaaay to many MEP parts this month (most of them being FX/Candy style) so I needed to cut this short bc I was using it as a procrastination device lmaoo
But-
The Editor Society hosts challenges every three months, and this challenge's theme was 'If I was in a MEP' where we got to pick a MEP and make an edit as if we were in that MEP, and we had to use the theme as well.
I initially picked this MEP: youtube.com/watch?v=U7HVXdsPut4 But I quickly realized I didn't have enough time to do a full FX edit at the moment T-T Maybe one day I will finish what I had already started for that MEP.
I had a lot of fun with this! If I had had more time I would have made this longer and fixed up some of my scene selection a bit more and added some more overlays etc etc I had a whole two other segments with scene selection ready to go but decided to just focus my efforts on the first two to save time. It didn't quite come out the way I envisioned it, but I am still happy with it.
I used Davinci Resolve for this entire edit and I think that was part of what made it so fun for me, I love novelty and Davinci is a new toy to me as I am slowly learning how to use it for work haha
Song: Rain City Drive x Dayseeker - Medicate Me Footage: Black Lagoon and Madoka Magicainside my room. || GMVMetallic Lieutenant2025-05-17 | "Don't be surprised, Chloe... If one day, I'm just out of here."
"Excitement ages quickly. And I fear, if we set out in search of new fun, you'll tire of me and then I'll be alone."
"You took a million pictures of us, and not one of them showed that you were going to leave when I needed you most."
"Everybody lies. No exceptions."
"Everybody pretends to care until they don't."
"This shit-pit has taken everyone I've ever loved... I'd like to drop a bomb on Arcadia Bay and turn it to fucking glass..."
"You know she's fake, yet you can't take your eyes off her. Who else do I know who fits that description?"
-------
This is just a small Chloe character study edit. I've never really liked it when people say Chloe is a terrible person. I feel that opinion of her really lacks the nuance her character deserves. I think it's a rather close-minded opinion that doesn't factor anything she went through into play.
--------
Here's an actual full video for once, I can't remember the last time I actually finished a full video- I'm so glad I could finish one for once I've had this video unfinished in my files for almost 2 years now, and every few months I would open it, add 2 clips and then forget about it for months again... I was feeling down today and remembered I had this still sitting here, and thought it might be nice to edit something again to get it all out and I managed to finish the edit in a few hours. I feel a bit better now. Expect more vent-type edits for a little while, sorry if that's annoying.
I didn't want to add too many effects or overlays bc I felt they were taking away from the scene selection.
Also, I hate text, hate hate hate hate hate it, I can never figure out good placement for it or how to make it look good :(

We did a vote this time for what MEP people were most excited about and the Vent MEP theme won, so here's our little vent MEP. This MEP was a place for participants to vent all their recent frustrations into their parts. I hope you guys found this MEP cathartic to be a part of.
Special thanks to Onion-sama for doing a backup part xx And to Sarge for taking a 2nd part!

--------------------footsteps in the basement.Metallic Lieutenant2025-05-09 | Uhh so- kind of a vent edit I guess? Idk, this is just a really low effort edit that I've been using as an outlet for the past few days.
I'm extremely stressed atm but I could't tell you why even if I wanted to- Probably half of the problem is the fact that I literally cannot sleep, so it might be making my stress worse. I just feel too stressed to do much of anything atm, so I made this as a way to still feel like I was doing something and because I've been wanting to edit with a really edgy song for ages now and this is scratching that itch.
I feel done with this now even though there's no transitions or overlays. I'll probably regret it in a week though when I look back at it lmao Tried to add some storytelling, but tbh it's kind of just vibesMEP Collection #12Metallic Lieutenant2025-04-25 | Okayyy so it's been almost 6 months since I last posted a MEP collection video- that's kinda crazy. I said I wouldn't take as many MEP parts for a while, which was good for me I think, but it also means I get to be in less MEPs, which makes me sad :((
I don't feel very strongly about this collection, I feel this is probably my weakest MEP collection to date in terms of good editing. I really only like the first 5 parts and the rest I don't really like at all. I hope that for my next MEP collection I can take on some more FX parts as well, I've been really wanting to improve my FX editing lately
On the bright side, I think my scene selection is improving a ton and I'm very happy about that!!
It's honestly a crime that I have no mass effect parts in this collection. Someone give me an excuse to edit with it RN
Parts: 1: Little Bastards Full MEP: Soon Fandom: TWAU
2: Senses Full MEP: Soon Fandom: Akagami no Shirayukihime
9: Death of Me Full MEP: youtube.com/watch?v=Gx-NF3rf9Hg Fandom: Baldur's Gate 3 P.s please ignore the absolutely hideous grammar mistake in this one. I cry about it every time I see it T-T
Editing Theme: Like the sign-up video - Purple, dreamy space scenes and VHS effects. I want this MEP to look raw, but have small little effects like stars and planets, blur transitions, slow pans etc, as well as some masking with galaxies and space scenes behind the characters in some shots.
PLEASE NOTE: your part will require at least some masking/rotoscoping and maybe some compositing, if you don't feel comfortable doing that, then maybe sit this one out. But please feel free to join if you think you can do it! I wanted to make this MEP a bit of a challenge to everyone to expand their confidence and skills! Don't worry if you think it'll be bad, take this as a challenge if you're willing to try! I can help you find tutorials on the things you want to do if you need help x I'm not going to ask you to make every single clip a giant masked and fully composited space scene, (you can if you want though lol) but try your best in at least one-two clips of your part to make some space scenes!
Story Theme: Character 'A' has a crush on Character 'B'. The rest if up to you! But please add a bit of storytelling to your part! Don't just add random clips x
Footage Requirements: Anime and Games only for this one, no live action this time around. Things like Arcane are fine to use! No anthropromorphic animals or normal animals. Footage cannot have an overly childish art style though please. So, no sonic games or south park/the simpsons or things like that. No art for this MEP, only use footage for this MEP please. Please do not use still images or art/fanart. This is a footage only MEP.
- If you don't follow the theme I will ask you to re-do your part, please keep this in mind and do not delete your project file until the MEP is finished.
- Use purple, soft, dream-like colorings for this MEP please!
- Like stated earlier, no art or fanart is allowed in this MEP. Only footage.
- If you use Sony Vegas to edit then you must disable resample on your part before rendering it.
- Your part must be rendered in 30fps + 1080p.
- No voiceovers for this MEP
- No anime/game subtitles or TV logos/watermarks in your parts please and use HD footage.
- Leave an extra second of footage on the end of your part so that I can easily transition it with the part after it.
- Do not cut your own audio please! Only use the file I share with you!
- Discord is required to join this MEP for communication

I started this I think just after Christmas when I was having a bit of a down week. I decided that it might be nice to channel that into some kind of melodramatic edit, and I thought back to my edgy/emo days when I used to listen to Paramore a lot. Whenever I think of Paramore, I think of twilight, so, this just seemed like good match. As bad of a story as twilight is, I fucking love it so much. It's my guilty pleasure, I often re-read the books or re-watch the movies as they hold so much nostalgia for me.
I decided to go with the route of showcasing how 'stupid' Bella is for this edit to fit with the song and how she continually makes bad and unhealthy decisions, even when she knows they are bad, and how she spirals down further and further into her obsession with Edward until it nearly kills her.
The spark and motivation for this project is gone now and I don't feel excited about it anymore but I am fairly happy with it how it is. I used this mainly as scene selection practice.
I think at this point I have more scraps than finished edits on this channel lmaooo
This one was edited entirely in Davinci Resolve. I wanted to challenge myself again to start using Davinci more. I was originally going to add more effects to this after I finished putting all the clips out, but I never got that far unfortunately.JawsMetallic Lieutenant2024-12-18 | "Show me those pretty white jaws"
Okay so I've been in a weird place editing wise the past few months and have been struggling to edit anything at all. I realized it was coming from a place of perfectionism and I was constantly worrying about wanting everything I make to be the best it can. I constantly felt bad about my edits like- "I know I can edit so much better than this, why are all my videos so bad"
So to get over that, I decided to start this project as a way to just edit. Just make something, if its bad, it's bad. So this was what I made. It's not perfect by any means, the scene selection could be better, the text could be more interesting, but I finally was able to make something.
I think forcing myself to just start a project and get it done (to a certain degree anyway, there was probably a lot more I could have done to this video) is a good step to moving past my constant worrying from the past few months.
I might make another project like this sometime down the line again. I want to spend next year trying to improve my editing even more, so I may do this again just to get myself out of a rut if I do fall back into negative thinking.UnshakenMetallic Lieutenant2024-12-15 | "May I stand unshaken"
For the theme of this edit I decided to go with 'Pain vs Beauty'
I've been playing RDR2 again lately- This edit literally just started out with me wanting to make a colouring preset similar to the RDR2 loading screens with those really cool old photos and it ended up with me making a whole edit that I didn't really have time to be making right now- I hope you guys enjoy it haha!
These are all my own recorded cutscenes, if you'd like to use them you can find them over at @TutsAEP
Song: May I, Unshaken - D'AngeloMEP Collection #11Metallic Lieutenant2024-11-05 | Here's my next MEP collection! It's a long one as every time I went to go post this, I had a part almost done and decided to hold off- So now it's really long- As usual my parts are in order of most proud of to lease proud of. I don't really like the last 4-5 parts tbh.
I think after this I am going to take a little break from MEP parts for while. I have very limited time and I've been taking on more and more MEP parts instead of making my own projects. I have so many half finished projects at the moment and I'm kinda using MEP parts as procrastination tool at the moment hahaha
I wanted to play around with some papery looking effects and this was my first time using a bunch of them! It was super fun to get to make this! I thought making an edit with this song and Jill would be fun.
The project file for this edit will be up on my Patreon later this week!

I still have no idea how to use it but basic cuts are getting easier as I re-jig the shortcuts to suit me better!~ I really need to get stuck into Fusion so I can figure out how to make good effects next, wish me luck T-T

I can't figure out how to copy and paste effects and keyframes properly and I don't have the patience to keep making the same flash and blur animations over and over so I gave up on that in this edit lmao For some reason whenever I try to copy and paste an effect from one clip to another the keyframes don't translate over? Or maybe I just can't find them? Idk but it just does not show up for me. I need to do some more research, but I am struggling to find a tutorial on how to paste effects over. Pasting the basic ones like zooms and stuff work but not effects?? T-T I think I'm going to take a break from davinci for a few days and come back again later~first time using davinci resolveMetallic Lieutenant2024-08-17 | So I'm trying to learn how to use davinci resolve so it's easier for me to freelance (I'm a video editor professionally as well-), I thought it might help me to know more than just premiere and AE. This program is so confusing. Coming from AE with a layer-based system and having to use a node-based system is so confusing for my brain, I struggled to figure out how to make these basic flash and fade transitions. I definitely need more time with it.
This is just a test edit where I tested myself to make a multi-cut edit with some basic effects, an overlay and a voiceover so that I know the basics of audio mixing, how to use overlays and how to add effects.
After today I actually hate Fusion though /hj Idk it just made me so frustrated T-T I miss AE, I need more practice and hopefully I will grow to like it.I Run To You || Full MEPMetallic Lieutenant2024-08-10 | Here's the full MEP for I Run To You! It turned out so nice!!!
The theme of this MEP was 'Trust - in all it's forms'. It was about showcasing trust between characters, or characters learning how to trust others after not trusting anyone. Whether it was the trust of a child to a parent or protector, the trust of two friends or siblings, or even characters who had to learn to trust someone, participants were asked to showcase that in their parts.
I think everyone did a really nice job showcasing their chosen characters!! Everyone did an amazing job with their scene selection and I think the whole thing looks amazing! This MEP was the smoothest MEP I've hosted to date and I am honestly so grateful to all you guys, it's so much fun creating these MEPs with you guys! It's such a joy to work with you guys.
Special thanks to GravePaper and MemoriesOfRain for taking extra parts to help fill the MEP xx

#fanvidfeed #fanvidfallen star (one hour edit challenge)Metallic Lieutenant2024-04-10 | I did a one hour edit challenge with my sister last night, this was the result- I severely underestimated how hard it would be to focus on scene selection under so much pressure- the coloring definitely saved this edit tbhMEP Collection #9Metallic Lieutenant2024-01-07 | OOOO here we go, yet another MEP collection. I am a little happier with this round of parts! I'm really loving getting to experiment more with FX style editing, I think I'm getting a bit better at it! However the last three I almost didn't want to put in the collection, I struggled a lot with those parts and they're just really not they great in my opinion, but leaving them out wouldn't be in the spirit of my channel so I begrudgingly have left them in T_T

The theme of this MEP was a little complicated but everyone executed it so well!! There were two parts to the theme: 1) Participants were asked to pick a character who had suffered some form of abuse in their lives for this MEP.
2) Participants were asked to use one of three elements to represent the emotional state of their character.
Water to represent moving on, acceptance, washing away of the past, trying to move on and live their lives after moving on from the past abuse.
Fire to represent anger, and ferocity of the trauma, their fight against it and their abuser as well as its direct effects on the character.
Stormy clouds to transition between the two to represent flashbacks of the trauma and how they are trying to cope.
The goal was to use to elements to represent the character's internal emotional state.

I want to thanks Sing for wanting to collab with me! I think this turned out so nice!!rises the moonMetallic Lieutenant2023-09-24 | Kind of a vent edit, kind of not. Very low effort though. Just kind of used this edit as a stress reliever after a bit of a bad day, and I also just really wanted to edit something with Astarion. Felt using a calm song like this might be nice for a change
BG3 spoilers btw2 AM (scrap)Metallic Lieutenant2023-09-17 | Take this super raw scrapped edit. I had a random urge to edit with anime again recently so I decided to edit with my favorite anime for some fun! I scrapped it though as it wasn't quite coming out the way I would have liked, plus I ran out of usable scenes so the ending is really anti climactic T_T I'm surprised I got almost a whole minute out of using Obi though! All in all this probably took me 4-5 hours so It's not a crazy good edit xD But I had fun making it~
This will probably be my last chance to edit for a while as I tomorrow I begin the last trimester of my bachelor's degree, so I won't really have time to do any editing for fun for at least three months unfortunately :( So I took the chance to get some of my urge to edit out while I still can hahaCall Me a Saint || Full MEPMetallic Lieutenant2023-09-12 | After 9 (nearly 10) months it's finally here! Thanks so much everyone who joined! The MEP turned out really nice!!
The theme of this one was 'Women in positions of leadership and power'. Participants were asked to pick a female character who was the leader of a group or nation and portray their power in their parts. This could be anyone from queens to leaders of small groups of rebels. As the MEP went on that got a little difficult as we struggled to find good examples of this in the media we had, so that theme became a bit more slack, but I think everyone did a great job!!

I challenged myself by trying to make this 90% FX rather than using just footage so there was a lot of masking. My poor hand T-T
2: Footage: Red Dead Redemption 2 Full MEP: Soon Notes: As soon as the signup came out for this one I knew I had to use RDR2, I made like three different versions of this part bc I couldn't make it flow the way I wanted it to, but I eventually ended up with this one
6: Footage: Twilight Full MEP: youtube.com/watch?v=U2jg7SCLcUc&list=PL-uOx323tjYTofwxb3aUkS4q-kJFmqbbD&index=4 Notes: The theme for this MEP was really unique and I had fun trying to recreate the effects the host wanted, however using twilight was probably a terrible idea as I barely had any scenes to choose from, making the flow not so great.I dont want you to fall.Metallic Lieutenant2023-06-11 | Here's a simple edit I did over 2 hours, just wanted to make something simple. Ik the voiceovers/sound effects aren't great, I didn't want to bother polishing them up, this was just something I did to relax myself and have a bit of fun. Life has been so hectic and busy lately I just needed some time to edit something for myselfScrapped and Unfinished ProjectsMetallic Lieutenant2023-05-09 | Here is my giant group of unfinished videos that I might one day get around to, but most likely won't, either due to lack on inspiration and ideas or just because I don't feel they're working. Some of these projects were too ambitious for me and my ideas were bigger than my skills which lead to me getting burned out with them.
List: 0:00 - Excuse Me - Tifa + Cloud Notes: I wanted to try incorporating some old 2012 gmv and amv editing styles into a newer editing style and see what I could with with it!
0:11 - Mass Effect FX style edit Notes: I was so proud of the first few seconds of this edit, but then I kind of lost the vision of what I wanted it to be and it all kind of fell apart and I lost motivation to continue it. It really just started out as me wanting to try doing more anime style FX editing with game footage to see how much work it would be for MEP parts in the future.
0:21 - Killing Eve FX style edit Notes: This was going to be a project where I attempted to use what I had learned in my title sequence class in uni, worked out, I used a lot of photoshop, did a lot of pre-vis, but when it came to making each composition, all the masking and animation I had planned, it got so burned out and decided to take a break.
0:32 - Mass Effect FX edit Notes: Once again wanted to try out some more FX stuff, particularly with a space aesthetic, but this time I quickly ran out of ideas and put it on the back burner
0:46 - Mass Effect FX edit Notes: I wanted to try out some effects from newer GMV editing styles and try and see what I could do with it. Once again lost inspiration and ideas for this one
0:53 - Mass Effect Raw Edit Notes: I think I was just really bored one day and wanted to edit with Kaidan, and as it usually goes it then turns into the shipping edit bc- ... reasons. This one was so close to being finished, but I ran out of usable clips to keep the flow going so I scrapped it. All this one really needs is some more effects and things to keep the flow going better and it might have been finished.
1:27 - Tifa x Aerith Edit Notes: Not much to say about this one, I don't really even know what kind of story I wanted to tell, I think I was just bored and wanted to edit with Aerith and Tifa... Ended up scrapping it due to me not liking how the story for the edit panned out.MEP Collection 7 - Send HelpMetallic Lieutenant2023-05-07 | Here is my newest collection of MEP parts, uhhh, I hate them all, and uh,,, they're all super low quality because while editing these I was also dying under my giant pile of uni work so I hate all of these. But anyway, I'm now on holidays so now I have the fun job of catching up on all my online life work now like finishing up unfinished parts and organizing stuff for my other channel. I honestly am considering going on hiatus bc I lowkey need a break from everything but we'll see how it goes for now
At least this time my footage use is much more varied! I decided to try and use something other than Mass Effect for a lot of my mep parts this time around, wanted to get more variation as I was getting a little bored using the same clips over and over!
I don't know why but i hate all the color grades I did for these parts too, there's just something about them that doesn't work
Parts:
1: I Do Adore Full MEP: youtu.be/Ppr05VET2rM Footage: Mass Effect Trilogy Notes: -
6: Bad As the Boys Full MEP: youtu.be/VZl69qrr7xI Footage: The Last of Us 2 Notes:
7: Call Me a Saint Full MEP: Soon Footage: Mass Effect Notes:
8: Sleepwalker Full MEP: youtu.be/HeoyfGeoj2I Footage: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Notes:
9: In Too Deep Full MEP: youtu.be/CSQTPF9_HCU Footage: The Evil Within Notes:Fading History || Tuts AEP Editing ChallengeMetallic Lieutenant2023-02-24 | "You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it."
Here's my submission for the editing challenge I'm hosting over in the Tuts AEP discord server! The prompts this time around were: Empty, Devoid and Uncanny. I tried incorporating all these prompts into my edit but it was so hard!! For the 'uncanny' part I tried adding a lot of the humanoid aliens and the giant human reaper, but I'm not sure if it worked so well haha.
I wasn't going to participate this time because uni was going to start up soon when I started, but I found this slowed down version of the galaxy map theme from mass effect and I just fell in love with it and knew I had to use it for this challenge! Here is the full version: youtube.com/watch?v=gx9wF_xDg4c
This is super rough and if I had had more time I definitely would have fixed up a lot of the weird stuff, like the blue tinted Shepard scenes, I just wanted to make them a little blue but I didn't have to the time to go back and fix up the skintones so- you get frozen corpse Shepard ^^ I think If I had had more time it would have turned out so much nicer
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it despite some of the jankyness! (and render errors T-T) I might fix some of it another time and reupload itWaking Up (scrap)Metallic Lieutenant2023-02-18 | Is it even a post from me if it isn't a scrap? I've had this on my PC for... I want to say 4-5 months now? I like it so much I don't want to leave it to rot on my PC, but not so much that I plan on finishing it... so here it is. It doesn't have an ending buuuuttt.... I hope the 'plot' is understandable enough without me going on a long winded spiel about it like I usually do on my edits haha. All i'll say is that everything in the 8mm overlay is a fantasy/her daydreams
This was actually going to be my entry for the Editor Society AMV competition but I didn't feel I cound finish it my the deadline so I just submitted something else I had already made.
I highkey hate the coloring I did on this though- Like what even is it?? Idk man but it ain't it that's for sure.
(P.s I edit this anime so much and have watched it twice but cannot for the life of me remember any of the characters names-)
Anyway, enjoy this AMV, and if you read all my rambling- I love you, I hope you're having a nice day~talk fastMetallic Lieutenant2023-01-29 | Okay so I finished the telltale Batman games a few days ago and- take this edit I made in 3 hours. I may or may not have a new obsession with Batman in which I spent 3 hours yesterday trying to figure out which comics to start reading first- Getting into batman is scary man, there are way too many different versions of Bruce I don't even know where to begin lol
Anyway, I have a new obsession with Catwoman so it's more than likely you will see a lot more telltale Batman edits on my channel for a few months until my obsession dies down lol
This edit was just something I started on impulse, I had been wanting to edit with this song for forever but never got around to it until now (I love this song sm). I wanted to use this edit to practice my typography but as you can see I gave up on that really quick because I ran out of ideas for interesting typo... buuuut anyway, enjoy!~alone with you. || multifandomMetallic Lieutenant2023-01-20 | "I could see us right here forever In this in-between"
I just felt like editing something pretty, it doesn't have much thought or meaning behind it
Take whatever this is. I just wanted to edit with this song and I couldn't decide on what I wanted to edit with it- so I edited everything with it lmao.
Nah tho I actually wanted to just make this a Samara and Shepard edit but they have like no scenes together, so I decided I'd use other fandoms too, and, now there's this weird mishmash of high school anime vs sci-fi video game vs show about two women taking turns trying to kill each other- idc, It was fun to edit this! I ended up turning it into scene selection practice so it all worked out in the end haha
It wouldn't really be a post from me if it didn't com with long winded rambling would it?
Fandoms in order: Killing Eve Tamako Market Mass Effect Bloom Into Your Hibike Euphorium Adventure Timehardest of hearts (scrap)Metallic Lieutenant2023-01-13 | Okayyy so I had this whole huge ass idea for this GMV, but I've kinda fallen out of motivation for finishing it. It was gonna basically be about how Kaidan doesn't want to disrupt the chain of command so he buries his feelings and Shepard begins to realize that due to her developing feeling for Kaidan, she has lost the ability to think objectively about her crew, putting missions in danger to save Kaidan, or all round just worrying about him more than other members of the crew.
BUt uhhhhh yeah, I began overthinking a lot about this edit and ended up not having fun whenever I opened the project file, and ended up forgetting about it for a good while, and now here we are. Another scap on the pile haha
Game: Mass Effect Song: Hardest of Hearts - Florence + the MachineSkulls and Bones (scrap)Metallic Lieutenant2022-12-17 | MAJOR MASS EFFECT SPOILERS BTW Have another scrap. This one is pretty much done (except it's janky af), but I hate the way the story flows in this one and to make it work I'd need to change out a lot of scenes, which I don't have time for atm so I decided to just scrap it :(
I really do love this song with Mass Effect though and I think if I had had more time this would have turned into an amazing edit. I had this song stuck in my head again the past week and remembered I had this edit sitting there, almost finished and that was then I realized that half of it flows pretty terribly T-T.|| Old Wounds || MEP Collection #6Metallic Lieutenant2022-12-13 | This entire mep collection is full of WLW, PVRIS and Mass Effect- Welcome to what it's like living in my brain lol
I'm actually so happy with the parts in this collection, they aren't perfect and I would probably change things looking back on them now, but this is the first time that I've put one of these out and actually liked every part in it. I really think I'm finally improving :DD
I experimented a lot since my last collection, I tried to join in on more FX style editing. But it got really hard bc I run out of ideas so easily T-T
Parts: ----------------- 1: Old Wounds Full MEP: youtu.be/wiMOQN3I15g Footage: Mass Effect Notes: I just had to join this MEP. PVRIS is my favorite band ever and getting to edit with one of their songs is always a good excuse to take on more MEP parts lol. I was so happy with how this turned out! The voiceovers didn't make it into the full MEP unfortunately (I totally understand why though so it's no problem). I feel like without the voiceovers the scene selection is kinda crap, so I will need to work on that next time I reckon! ----------------- 2: Winter Full MEP: youtu.be/a6mhaSr5iwY Footage: Killing Eve Notes: PVRIS AGAIN! That's literally the only reason I joined this MEP xD I've already editing to this song before, but the theme was super nice and I had a lot of fun trying to make it fit the theme! We were told to use both blue and occasionally splashes of color like in the song to show the 'burning' as well and I really enjoyed trying to balance it out. It was also fun trying to put in scenes that showed something symbolic of their relationship, it's been forever since I watched Killing Eve so I had to go back and look through all the episodes to find them, but looking back some of the shots really don't flow that well, so I'll have to work on that next time! ----------------- 3: I Never Existed Full MEP: Footage: Mass Effect Notes: THIS THEME WAS SO FUNN!!!!!! It was doodles + VHS effects and I really loved it so much! At first I wasn't sure if I'd be able to find enough overlays to make the part work but I think I found the sweet spot between too many and too little? Idk, but it was a lot of fun trying to figure out how to get the story of the song to match with Mass Effect. ----------------- 4: Dream of You Full MEP: Footage: Mass Effect Notes: I didn't actually realize what the lyrics of this part were before I took it, and after listening to it I felt I had to use a slight nsfw part to make it fit so that disappointed me a little bc I don't really like editing with nsfw too much but eh, I think I was able to brush past it fast enough in the part hahaha. I had a lot of fun with the color scheme for this part! I tried hard to make my part look fun and keep it flowing. I'm terrible with upbeat and fast songs. ----------------- 5: I Wish I Knew Full MEP: Footage: Final Fantasy 7 Art Credits: - kuroi susumu - kirin_13 - Liang-Xing - chibi-oneechan - skiiny-witch - coyotehackles - ContreSixted Notes: I struggled so much with this part and I ran out of ideas so that's why the last part of it is so bad T-T. But it was a lot of fun making that comp with the leaves! I like having excuses to use particle systems! ----------------- 6: One Last Time Full MEP: youtu.be/pWh8mS52baQ Footage: Bloom Into You Notes: This was a backup part! I was really happy with it when I finished it but now I think this is probably one of the weaker parts in this collection, I do really like the blue aesthetic though and getting to make more space themed mep parts would be super fun! ----------------- 7: honey Full MEP: youtube.com/watch?v=40C5e3x2naE Footage: Mass Effect Notes: Same as the last part, I really liked it when I first finished it but now I'm not so sure. I just don't think the clips really fit with the song as well as they could have T-T. But I enjoyed the aesthetic of the full MEP so much! Everyone's parts were great! -----------------sunlight.Metallic Lieutenant2022-12-07 | "I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet Who would trade that hum of night? For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight But whose heart would not take flight? Betray the moon as acolyte On first and fierce affirming sight Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight I had been lost to you, sunlight And flew like a moth to you, sunlight"
I thought this song was really beautiful and wanted to make an edit with it for the first Tuts AEP editing challenge. If you'd like to join in the link to the discord is here: discord.gg/Yp8z9wYHGp
The theme for the challenge was to use the three words 'Ethereal, Haze, Love ' as inspiration for your edit and this was what I came up with!~ I actually kinda struggled with these prompts, but eventually found this song and the rest just fell into place.
This was another excuse for me to practice my scene selection, and I think it turned out nicely! I hope I'm improving. I did run out of usable footage at the end there though so that sucked T-TFun || Full MEPMetallic Lieutenant2022-12-01 | Here it is! After 5 months! Participants were asked to pick something that they felt gave their lives meaning or brought purpose or joy to them, and were asked to portray that in their parts.
Special thanks to everyone (XxHeavensXAnglexX, Railitto, Amarantinella, YatoSwag) who did backups or filled in parts last minute, I appreciate you guys so much, you saved this MEP!

Song: fun - sir slyDanger to Myself ScrapMetallic Lieutenant2022-10-11 | Take another old ass scrap. This one I was planning on fully decking it out with motion graphics and transitions and shit but I ran out of ideas so fast- This one I also tried to focus on not only transitions, but relational transitions between footage. So I purposefully chose a lot of these scenes because they related to one another e.g going from Mafia to Final Fantasy 7 using the flames, then using the witcher 3 after becuase it also had flames, then moving back to mafia to fit the romantic scene I had using the Witcher. Idk of that makes any sense, but I was trying something new.
I'd always been planning on coming back to it but I don't think I ever will. I have 1 million other unfinished projects that I might upload later on.Honey Whiskey // ScrapMetallic Lieutenant2022-10-09 | Take yet another Aerti scrap edit. I really wanted to finish this one but after effects glitched out the project file so now it's almost impossible to continue it :( I started it about a month ago I thinkMEP Collection #5Metallic Lieutenant2022-09-18 | I decided to upload all these now bc uni is starting back up again tomorrow so I won't have much free time to do it later on. I'm so happy with most of these parts, I actually feel like I'm improving a little.
Dedicated to all the studios I'm in :DD

Part 8: Wh*re Full MEP: youtube.com/watch?v=WNdVSnb-hf8 Fandom: The Last Of Us Part IIRepeat (Scrap)Metallic Lieutenant2022-06-29 | Take this half-assed scrap I made in two hours this evening. I had a really stressful day and just wanted to distract myself with something. Felt like editing aerith x tifa again bc they make me happy :)
There was a plot, but plot went out window 15 mins into starting this edit and just started throwing random scenes in because they were pretty lol, ignore this edit, just needed a distraction for a few hours while I tried to wind down from my day.Shallow Water || Mass Effect GMVMetallic Lieutenant2022-06-09 | Slight NSFW warning? Have this instagram style edit I made today. Tried out a bunch of new things to see what I could could do. Some of it doesn't really fit but other than that I actually don't hate this one.
Game: Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 Ship: Kaidan Alenko x Female ShepardMake Me Believe || Mass Effect GMV || SCRAPMetallic Lieutenant2022-06-02 | "Why can't you stay? I'm up against these things I can't see..."
I thought this song fit Kaidan and Shepard really well.
I've had this half finished on my computer for months now, ever since I finished Mass Effect in like January- Today I decided to open it up and get it done but I kinda gave up on it! This is just another basic scene selection practice edit so I didn't do anything too fancy. Also the flow in completely off but I'm beyond the point of trying to fix it now xD I also practiced more with voice overs. I hope I am improving at something.
However I am extremely happy with myself for breaking past the 30 second mark and making it all the way to 1:20. I was going to make it go for longer but I found myself running out of useful clips so I decided to end it early instead of just adding the scaps of what I had left. This is probably the longest video I've made in 5+ years.
Mass Effect holds such a special place in my heart. I hope I can edit it more often. I also plan to do a Liara romance route next so look forward to me going back to my wlw edit roots.
