Dubstep isn't my forte, so some sections of this song were challenging to edit, but I enjoyed the process regardless. Enjoy!

Sakura-Con 2018 Iron Editor footage was provided by the AMV Filmmakers Association from their upcoming film Synced Together: AMVs & Their Editors.

Special thanks to my studio for the encouragement.
I'm pleased to share my sixth Otaku Lounge Productions video in collaboration with Janikachan, who provided sound production on this project. Janika combined this beautiful song with the instrumental version while I edited the footage. We submitted this video to The Masters Contest at AWA this year, and look forward to additional con submissions. Enjoy!
I'm proud to share my fifth Otaku Lounge Productions video, Up in Smoke, which I started a year ago. It began as an exploration of trauma from nearly a decade ago, and then became a vent of sorts when I faced multiple deaths earlier this year. Everyone copes with trauma differently, myself included. Black backgrounds represent isolation. Even the colored scenes with live action backgrounds are muted, with the characters occupying small corners of the screen (isolation in spite of company). I'm proud of the result, and grateful that it helped me navigate my own experiences. You never know what someone else is going through, or what they've overcome, and I hope this video brings comfort to those who need it.

The circumstance under which I’m sharing my fourth Otaku Lounge Productions release breaks my heart. The studio behind this beautiful work, Kyoto Animation, was the target of an arsonist yesterday, leaving more than thirty people dead and more injured. If you’re a fan of their works or animation in general, please consider donating to their GoFundMe, organized by Sentai Filmworks: gofundme.com/help-kyoani-heal?fbclid=IwAR0JgfBkc51ye0n239lHmDr8w55bA20vMyfS0PeJFGFiRxfGD7iDi5HPjtY

Animethon 2019 - Contest Coordinator's Choice Award
I'm pleased to share my third Otaku Lounge Productions release, The Real Me. I've edited m/f and m/m pairings over the years, but this is my first f/f pairing from an adorable manhua called Tamen de Gushi. If you haven't read it, and you enjoy "slice of life" stories, I highly recommend it. This video premiered at Sakura Con 2019 during the Editor Blocks, and I'm happy to now share it here, too. When I first began editing, I worked with manga and fanart. So, I decided to go back to my roots, and work on a mmv project. Enjoy!
This was a two hour edit in front of a live audience. Iron Editor contests are judged based on how well a video fits the theme, editing/creativity, and use of the secret source. After defeating six editors at conventions across the west coast and completing my infinity gauntlet, I (Thanos) was finally defeated by Avenger Sean at SC 2019. The judges felt that Sean better utilized the secret source footage (AOT).
Here is Sean's video: youtu.be/NKkTXpcMrY8

I'm pleased to share my second Otaku Lounge Productions release, The Wolves of Hill House. I loved the Netflix series behind this parody, and I've always wanted to edit a creepy/unnerving trailer. I hope you enjoy the result!
Here is an alternative version without Pop Team Epic: drive.google.com/open?id=1Pd1RAo_IiamWHivm2EW4HR42HuAFjoq2
This is my first project under Otaku Lounge Productions, and I couldn't be happier with my first premiere. This project is near and dear to my heart. Not only does it feature my favorite song, but one of my favorite American cartoons, too. I relate to Shiro's character more than anyone else, and I wanted to highlight his relationship with the Paladins, as well as his place on the team. My intentions for Shiro and Keith were rigorously debated during the blind contest reviews (romantic vs brotherly), but I'd like to think that the themes are much broader than that. Keith leads Shiro to the Paladins, making him whole. My intentions were as simple as that. That's what you do when you care about someone, you protect them.
Special thanks to my studio-mates, Rider4z and Tigrin, for helping me clean up this video after the contest. You're the best! Check out their channels below:

Anime Expo 2018 Honorable Mention
This was a two hour edit in front of a live audience. Here's a description of the contest: animemusicvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=129068
Iron Editor contests are judged based on how well a video fits the theme, editing/creativity, and use of the secret source. Rider4z is widely regarded as one of the strongest IE competitors for her fast-form editing and experience. I knew I'd have to try something different if I wanted to win. The biggest "DON'T" I hear in Iron Editor is creating stories. So, I decided to do what everyone says not to. Lol If the story worked, my edit would stand out as unique. If it didn't work, back to the drawing board. This video was the result. Rider4z's video stood out for theme and use of the secret source while mine shone for creativity. I'm really proud of what we both created. Here is her video: youtube.com/watch?v=YUXeJ7miaxE

We had to edit a video in two hours in front of an audience; the theme was "get your head in the game," so the footage was sports related. This is what I came up with... minus the rendering glitches (went back and re-rendered the glitch-y scenes this morning).
I plan to rework this video as an entry for other conventions. I'll probably reduce the number of shows and include manips, so expect to see an alternative version of this in the future. Enjoy!

I've always thought these lyrics were beautiful, but Madilyn Bailey's acoustic cover really let's you hear them. Having been raised by my mum, there were many parallels between my own life and this film, which is why I decided to focus on the parent/child relationship. There's so much I could say about this video, but I hope the emotion speaks for itself. Enjoy!

Let me begin by saying how grateful I am for all of you, and the joy we share in film. Writing and teaching are my passions, but video editing is an extension of my writing in some ways, particularly when anime characters remind me of my own. I really wanted to delve deep in this edit and get back to my favorite editing style, which is relatively raw. I hope you enjoy this edit, even if you're unfamiliar with K.
Also, I wanted to wish a very happy birthday to Kai (hydrazoite). She's been unbelievably supportive over the years and I value our friendship. I hope you had a wonderful day, dear;)

What can I say? This is one of my favorite anime. Not only because it reminds me of my own books/characters, but the story never ceases to move me. And it's a plus that my top two pairings are basically canon, and you can't convince me otherwise. Heck, Munakata DAYDREAMS about Mikoto and hears his VOICE even after he's deceased. The subtext isn't exactly subtle. And don't even get me started on Yata and Fushimi. Bahaa! Fushimi abandoned the reds because he was JEALOUS of Yata's loyalty to Mikoto, and then there's Yata who constantly blushes around Fushimi. The writers kept skirting around this stuff, but one movie and a second season later, here we are. I'm pleased with the way they ended the story, though I'm heartbroken all over again ;_______; Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this.
