GloriousHysteriaWARNING: You will have to mess around with the brightness and contrast a lot to suit dark scenes. Also don't try and use these with live action footage. It's not pretty.
Was planning on doing this in time for Christmas but urr didn't work out so it's a new years giveaway thing instead. I often get people asking me for colourings but as I have no idea on how to do tutorials, this made more sense. Obviously only works if you have some form of Sony Vegas already installed.
Hope you guys like them and please credit me if you use them. I do spent a lot of time on these.

PLOT: contains spoilers
Tarzan and Ariel are both human and are happily together, until Ursula comes along and sinks their home into the depths of the ocean. She turns Ariel into a mermaid leaving Tarzan deserted on a n island wondering where she is. Ariel lives in their home under the sea (pun intended) constantly reminded of Tarzan. As time goes on, Tarzan reluctantly believes that Ariel must be dead since he hasn't found her while Ariel remembers their time together, particularly when he proposed to her. Ursula comes along and explains to her she can turn her human again if she wishes but Ariel refuses, not trusting her, even though she greatly misses her husband. She goes to the surface and sings, letting out all her grief. Tarzan hears her and finds her once again. The couple rejoice despite Ariel being a mermaid, finding it to be enough that they're together again but unfortunately Ursula finds out about their love. Ursula persists with Ariel but she still refuses until one day Tarzan gets into a fight with a leopard. Ursula shows this to her and fearing for his life, she agrees to become human, even though she will belong to Ursula in three days time. The two make the most of the little time they have together and face Ursula together. Her sheer strength is too much for them, as she transforms Ariel into a sea creature. In shock, Tarzan is killed by Ursula but consequently Ursula is killed by an incoming ship, transforming Ariel back into her human form. Realising Tarzan is dead, Ariel can't bare living without him and decides to kill herself. The two meet again in the afterlife where they remain happy.
Kind of a depressing end but with the tone of the song I couldn't imagine a completely happy ending?Dead Inside {Disney Villains Crossover}GloriousHysteria2015-08-14 | WARNING: Contains fast flashing images. Slightly dark content as well.

PLOT (separated it into pairings just to make it easier):
Frollo and Ariel: Ariel dreams of being human and prays that she will be able to be one someday. Frollo hears her prayer and starts hallucinating her, falls in love with her. Frollo's fantasises over Ariel constantly, consumes him so much he prays to God for this woman to be real (not knowing she is a mermaid). His and Ariel's prayer come true as she suddenly becomes human and is brought to him. While he's pleased to meet her, Ariel isn't having imagined falling in love with a guy more her age. Frollo resents her for this and prayers for her to love him while she becomes depressed, seeing how deranged and pervy he is. Frollo sells his soul in order for his prayers to be answered but it was the devil listening instead of God. He solves Frollo's problems by becoming him and transforms Ariel into a demon who adores him. In their new forms, Ariel and Frollo strike terror upon the world. They burn it and the people alive, loving every moment of it. When a man starts lusting after Ariel she can't believe the idiocy of it since that is what got Frollo into the situation he's in, and he quickly kills the man doing it. Frollo and Ariel eventually destroy every last living thing and it becomes a new Hell for them.
Kida and Ursula: Atlantis is a dying society, having struggled with its way of life since being forced under the ocean. Ursula sees Kida one day in her magic ball thingie and an idea springs into mind. Kida ventures out into the ocean one day and meets Ursula, Kida loves her sass and develops feelings for her. Ursula tells Kida that Atlantis will fall into more destruction but she has a solution which involves giving Kida great powers. Hardly waiting for a response, she transforms Kida into a God-like being. Kida is a giant, possessed by Ursula and unaware that she is destroying Atlantis. It is in this state, Kida remembers how Ursula was responsible for putting Atlantis under the ocean in the first place and for the death of her mother. Unknowingly, Kida kills her own father and is left forever in Ursula's power.
Hades and Esmerelda: Hades sees Esmerelda one day and thinks she could work for her him if he gives her the power to produce fire. Hades offers Esmerelda the deal and she accepts. Hades and Esme get along great and enjoy showing off their powers. Hades realises Esme could become far powerful as a dragon to which she agrees so he makes her one. Esme enjoys being a dragon and assists Hades in a killing spree. Her attempts in killing a man become unsuccessful though as he manages to kill her first. While furious at first, Hades hardly mourns Esme as he finds another woman to take her place.
Meg and Jafar: Meg and Jafar are in a happy relationship until one day Meg gets a flashback of her life with Hercules. Meg ignores it until she starts getting more flashbacks. When she sees Jafar using his staff to brainwash someone, she suddenly remembers how he had used it on her. Meg continues to think about Hercules and realises how much she loved him, she breaks it off with Jafar knowing he brainwashed her to forget about Hercules but he tells her Hercules is actually now dead. However, Meg finds Hercules and he tells her Jafar was lying to her, he survived the attack. Jafar discovers them together and is not happy, transforms into a genie in order to get Meg back. Meg and Hercules attempt to run away from Jafar but fail. Jafar traps and teleports Meg to an unkown snowy place while he keeps Hercules busy by becoming a huge snake. Hercules manages to kill Jafar but was not in time to save Meg as she died in the snow.
...This all just sounds batsh*t crazy written down, when I was making it it didn't seem that way quite so much.
Now I would write more about how this video nearly destroyed me but I need to sleep cause it's getting on for 4am which sort of emphasises that point anyway. All I'll say is I'm pretty happy with it.

Thanks for watching!Young & Beautiful {Multi-Crossover; for 2,000+ subscribers}GloriousHysteria2013-06-16 | This is for all my subbers! Thanks so much for all that you do, you really are what keeps me vidding! I never thought I'd reach this many and it kind of makes me giddy that I have so thankyou!
Contains femslash. Don't like it, go away.
I decided to do a multi-crossover since it's been awhile since I've done a crossover that isn't entirely focused on Tarzan and Ariel (emphasis on the word entirely).
I think it's fairly easy to understand the plots for each couple but in case there's any confusion (SPOILERS GALORE);
Jasmine and Meg - They meet and instantly fall for eachother. One day, Jasmine sees Meg with Hercules and instantly assumes they're having an affair. Meg denies it, saying they're just friends as she's a lesbian, but Jasmine won't believe her. Meg tries to make her understand but Jasmine refuses to talk to her. When Jasmine sees how truly upset Meg is she realises it's her own insecurities making her think the worst and they become happy again.
Jane and Beast (Adam) - Beast is in love with Jane but she doesn't know it as she's in love with another man (unbeknownst to her that man is Beast). She's terrified of him at first but once she realises the beast is who she loves, she gradually warms up to him. Jane sees how painful it is for Beast to be in his beast form. It's clear that they are both in love with eachother so Beast is turned human again and everyone's happy.
Esmerelda and Aladdin - Aladdin is infatuated with Esmerelda from seeing her perform. They get to know eachother and she becomes interested in him also while he falls for her. At a festival, Esmerelda sees Aladdin as a prince. She realises how he was hiding his status and true nature (arrogant, deceitful, flirtatious) in order to get close to her and is furious. They argue and she refuses to see him anymore. Esmerelda moves on with Phoebus while Aladdin regrets what's done.
Tarzan and Ariel - Ariel and Tarzan are in a relationship. She can become human at will but she must return to the sea and be a mermaid every day. Tarzan is unaware of her being a mermaid until he sees her one day at sea. Shocked, he no longer wants to see her even in human form. Tarzan regrets his decision and Ariel realises this when she sees him at shore. They start seeing eachother again while stays both human and mermaid and remain happy together.

Thanks for watching!The Weight of Us {Tarzan/Ariel; Disney Crossover}GloriousHysteria2013-04-01 | Started this way back in January but then I had to go back to uni and so wasn't able to finish it until now.
9th vid of these two and counting. Even I don't know how I'm still cranking out vids for them.
Like usual, the plot's pretty easy to understand but just to clear up any confusion: Ariel sees Eric and it's love at first sight, likewise for Tarzan with Jane. Ariel's dreamed of becoming human all her life and it's Eric that gives her that last final push to actually do it. Her father's less than willing so she goes to Ursula. Meanwhile, Tarzan saves Jane and learns more about humans. The deal Ariel makes with Ursula is that she can be human for a few days but will only remain human if she gets her true love's kiss. If she doesn't, she transforms back into a mermaid and belongs to Ursula. While hesitant, she eventually agrees and becomes human, instantly meeting Eric on the surface. He takes her to his camp with Jane where she also meets Tarzan. Eric and Jane teach them how to dance where Tarzan starts to question his feelings for Jane, as he seems far more interested in Ariel. However, Ariel is still hopelessly in love with Eric until she sees a drawing of Tarzan that Jane drew. She starts seeing him in a different light when she realises, years ago, she could have witnessed his parents deaths and tells him about it. As the news sinks in, Ariel returns to camp only to see Eric and Jane sharing an intimate moment and it dawns on her the two are actually a couple. She becomes distraught knowing that she's going to turn back into a mermaid and be Ursula's prisoner. Tarzan comforts her and she decides to make the most of her time left and spends it with him, which only causes her feelings to grow. When she turns back into a mermaid, everyone is shocked but Tarzan especially since he wasn't even aware of their existence. Confused and hurt, he runs away. Ariel goes back to the ocean and is miserable with Ursula. Tarzan regrets acting so rashly and wishes they could be together. When Ariel thinks she can take no more of Ursula's presence, Eric saves her and she returns to the surface world. (I figured everyone would work out her father transformed her, like in the film, and I didn't really want to show it since I have done in probably every other vid of these two and it was getting repetitive).

Had this idea for quite awhile and I've always been dying to make a video solely for HOND as it's easily one of Disney's best (for me at least).
Also I just recently realised I've got over 2000 subscribers now so thanks so much for subbing! I promise to make another vid dedicated to you all soon ;)
Not much else to say aside from that.
Hope you enjoy!

Credit for the picture used at the end: http://alicexz.deviantart.com/art/God-help-the-outcasts-171082970Only Hope {Disney}GloriousHysteria2012-12-19 | After doing such a depressing video last time, I really needed to make a sweet, fluffy one so here we are. Maybe it's something about Christmas coming up and making me feel nostalgic but all I want to vid lately is Disney. Oh well.
There are a lot of couples in this one, I included every single one which I have the film of on my laptop, excluding the animal pairings. Don't ask me why, I just didn't feel like putting them in. What I tried to do was find a line in the song that suited each of the different pairings and I think I managed to fit each of them quite well?? I don't know.
I noticed this song has been done a lot to Disney but it's mainly with a different version of the song so hopefully I haven't copied anyone elses video by accident. Please let me know if there are any similarities so I can give the person credit or something. The only one I've actually watched is one I had an MEP part in (which is fantastic and you should watch by the way) so sorry if this seems a bit urrr unoriginal but I'm happy with it either way.
Thanks for watching!The Blowers Daughter {Disney; AU}GloriousHysteria2012-12-09 | READ BEFORE WATCHING All you need to know is that each of the couples/stories focuses on a different kind of love: 1)Belle/Beast - believing only you love the other person (Beast) when it may not actually be that way 2)Meg/Hercules - being in love with someone who only considers you a friend (Meg) 3)Rapunzel/Eugene - being happy and in love then having the person die (Rapunzel) 4)Pocahontas/John Smith - being in love with someone but are forced to part 5)Ariel/Eric - focuses on unrequited love, Ariel is in love with Eric but he loves another
If that didn't make it clear this is a depressing vid so if that's not for you then don't watch. Keep in mind black and white is the past and colour is present.
If you're still confused about what's going on, then here are the full stories (SPOILERS GALORE): 1) Belle/Beast - Beast is in love with Belle and thinks she doesn't feel anything for him so he lets her go only to be killed by Gaston. What he doesn't know is that she was also in love with him but it was realised too late so he dies anyway. 2)Meg/Hercules - Meg falls for Hercules through becoming his friend but when she realises she wants more, he doesn't feel the same way and it destroys their friendship. 3)Rapunzel/Eugene - Rapunzel and Eugene were together and happy until he died, Rapunzel can't stop mourning over him and when it becomes too much, she kills herself by jumping off her tower but then she finds Eugene in the afterlife and is happy again. 4)Pocahontas/John Smith - Pocahontas and John fall for eachother but because of their circumstances with their different homes, they leave one another (this is the one that's actually largely canon but I did try to make it obvious that they were forced to leave eachother rather than choosing too). 5)Ariel/Eric - (largely follows the original Little Mermaid tale) Ariel sees Eric and falls in love from sight. She becomes human for him only to learn he loves another and not her, she turns back into a mermaid because of it and lives out the rest of her life pining after him.
It's been awhile since my last vid (uni has literally taken over my life) so I'm a little rusty and not sure how happy I am with the ending result of this but oh well. I'm also not sure when my next vid will be with Christmas and everything coming up so it may be another for months but then again, depending on inspiration, it maybe a couple of weeks so...
All song info is in the credits.
Thanks for watching!Smother {Disney; Women}GloriousHysteria2012-09-13 | I've been dying to make a Disney vid focussed on the women in their films for quite awhile now and a couple of days ago I finally found the perfect song for it.
The quote at the beginning I put in particularly because I think it really represents what Disney does with it's women in a way (suppose you could apply to the men too but I digress) - all of them are somewhat dissatisfied with their lives until they go through some kind of life altering situation making them happier then they ever were before, and I think it's at that point they really begin to start living their lives. I tried to show that with the colouring so when it's black and white they're unhappy and when it's in colour they're at peace with their lives and live each day to the fullest.
Before anyone asks, the woman with the long black hair is Destino.
Thanks for watching!Lifetime {Tarzan/Ariel; Disney Crossover}GloriousHysteria2012-08-31 | Yes, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I've already made another vid for these two. What can I say, I've just been really inspired for them recently. The cap choice was awful though.
Plot's pretty easy to understand but just in case there's any confusion: Tarzan and Ariel have been friends since they were children, despite their fathers not liking it. One day, Ariel finds a photo of Tarzan and his parents so when she gives it to him he works out who his real parents are. Betrayed, he turns on his mother while Ariel's arguing with her father. She lets out she loves Tarzan and he finally sees how her being human would make her happy so he transforms her into one. Tarzan and Ariel spend a few weeks happily together until Jane, Archimedes and Clayton arrive on the island. It's clear Jane has no real interest in Tarzan and so him and Ariel just learn more about the rest of the world, eventually showing them the apes and.... I'll leave it there.
All song info is in the credits.
Thanks for watching!Satellite {Spitfire & Supermartian; Young Justice}GloriousHysteria2012-08-29 | Apparently all I vid now is Disney and Young Justice. Oh well.
I just wanted to make a nice shippy vid while waiting for this hiatus to be over since I do love both of these pairings and I just want them to be happy so badly but apparently that's too much to ask for with this show. Somebody remind me why I watch it when all it does is break my heart.
Anyway, it's wonderfully cheesy but I still like it.
Thanks for watching!What if this Storm Ends? {Tarzan/Ariel; Disney Crossover}GloriousHysteria2012-08-14 | Sorry if this seems a bit repetitive to my other vids of these two but this is my...7th (huh I didn't even know I made that many) vid and ideas are starting to run thin. I'm not obsessed with them I swear *shifty eyes*.
Plot's pretty easy to understand: Tarzan and Ariel meet. Fall in love. Ursula notices. Jane, Clayton, Archimedes (Jane's dad) arrive at the island and Ursula manipulates Ariel into thinking that if she doesn't become human Tarzan will go be with Jane. So Ariel agrees too it, this time the rule being she has to give up her voice on land at night but can have it when she's a mermaid during the day. She spends time with Tarzan and Jane. Jane's not interested in him and is all real life OTP with them. Clayton's suspicious about Ariel since she's only around at night. Finds out she's a mermaid. Takes Tarzan and Jane hostage so he can kidnap her and make lots of money. Ursula crashes the party. Triton switches places with Ariel and Ursula goes all monstified while Tarzan and Jane are stuck in the ship. Try to escape while Ariel's in danger but don't. Instead the ship their in kills Ursula who doesn't notice in time since she's too preoccupied with trying to kill Ariel. Jane leaves to go back to England. Triton makes Ariel human. Tarzan and Ariel are happy and Jane's happy her OTP is canon.
I kind of didn't realise until after I hadn't shown what happened to Clayton so let's just say he fell overboard during the whole Ursula monstified bit and drowned. I couldn't have editted that anyway.
All song info is in the credits.
Thanks for watching!Disarm {Young Justice}GloriousHysteria2012-08-04 | Now I've started vidding this fandom I can't stop.
This vid focuses on the first team (the main six that is) and basically how they've changed through the two seasons emotionally. I started with Failsafe/Disordered since that's personally where I think they all grew up a hell of a lot and weren't considered 'sidekicks' or 'teenagers' anymore. I tried to show each of the character's insecurities and how each of them had become everything they never wanted to be in the second series simultaneously losing the innocence inside of them that was there in the first one.
There's hints of Supermartian and Spitfire in this too so don't bash the couples please. I'll just delete your comment if you do.
Thanks for watching!Strawberry Swing {Disney}GloriousHysteria2012-07-24 | If you watch this in HD, umm I'll like you? I'll have to think of some better bribes...
I was really inspired for this one. I literally worked on it non-stop for about two days and eh voila! I'm quite pleased with the result too.
I used every disney film I had on my laptop for this (except for Black Cauldron but given the tone of this vid I didn't feel it would fit, oh and Tangled but I didn't want the cgi clashing with the 2D) so if anyone complains about me missing a film out, I will cut you. I don't even want to think about the amount of GBs that these ones alone take up.
Thanks for watching!All I Have {Wally and Artemis; Young Justice}GloriousHysteria2012-07-21 | Third time uploading this, if it's not glitch free this time I will pull my hair out. I really do hate youtube sometimes.
If you follow me on tumblr, you know I ship these two with all the power of a thousand suns so it was kind of inevitable this vid would happen. Also the show is probably one of my all time favourites. JUST GIVE ME MORE SCENES WITH THESE TWO PLEEEAASSSEEEEE. I was really struggling by the end of it. And they better stay together and happy otherwise I will - and I realise I'm rambling now so I'll stop.
Given this is my first time editting with YJ, it's a little rusty in places but overall I'm happy with it. You can expect plenty more vids of it from me as well.
Thanks for watching!MEP Reel 4, Preview and Unfinished VidsGloriousHysteria2012-06-26 | I basically compiled this since I haven't uploaded anything in awhile and mehhh I felt bad about it. Maybe I should re-name it to the few times I tried editting with Doctor Who and failed...
Thanks for watching!Something to Believe In {Tangled}GloriousHysteria2012-05-27 | This was mainly made because I realised one of my exams was actually later then I thought so naturally instead of using the time to revise more, I used it to make a vid.
I started this months ago and my inspiration kind of died out for it but then I randomly heard this song again and it all kind of came back full force. Also been having so many Tangled feels recently.
I tried to focus on the film as a whole rather than just the central relationship between Eugene and Rapunzel cause I do have a habit of doing that a lot with my vids.
Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Not much else to say except this film is stunning and oh god gives me all the feels for friendship.
Thanks for watching!Passion {Glen Keane Tribute; Disney}GloriousHysteria2012-03-26 | On March 23rd 2012, Glen Keane resigned from Walt Disney studios. He was one of the head animators at the studios and created some of Disney's most memorable characters; Ariel, the Beast, Aladdin, Tarzan, Pocahontas, Rapunzel - the list goes on. His work within Disney over the past 38 years has been revolutionary and he will undoubtedly be missed.
He's been an inspiration to many, myself included, and all I can hope is that he continues his work and explores the new territories he wishes too.
This is just a short video of my personal favourite characters he created and just a few of the inspirational quotes he has made about animation as an artform and on Disney (taken from various interviews he's had over the years - some have been abbreviated a little).
Apologies for the rubbish credits, so feel free to ask what the song is if you want to know :P
I made this really quickly (couple of hours) so it's pretty simple, but I really wanted the focus to be on the animation itself rather than the video, if that makes sense.

I seriously contemplated making a Snow/Serah vid as we've been fangirling so much over them but I didn't know where to download any FF footage so anyway hopefully you'll like this one instead ;P Love you dear!

I cannot tell you how good it feels to be vidding my ultimate OTP again. THESETWOJUSTGIVEMEALLTHEFEELINGS. I hadn't realised how much I'd missed it! And this song just screams them to me xD I tried to steer clear of it being similar to my other vids, which is why there's no real villainous threat in this one.
STORY (although it's pretty easy to understand): Tarzan and Ariel have been best friends for many years, despite the fact neither of their families approve of their relationship because he's a human and she's a mermaid. Both of them long for something more though, but don't do anything about it because of their families. One day, after another fight with her father, Ariel has enough and goes to Ursula to see if she can become human in some way. Ursula agrees too it and makes it possible for Ariel to transform into a human at night while being a mermaid by day. Ariel and Tarzan are happy with this situation for many weeks, something which doesn't go unnoticed by their families as Ariel's sisters point out to Triton that she's clearly in love. Curious about it, one day Triton follows Ariel and sees her transform into a human, making him depressed as he knows he can't let it continue. He goes upto the surface and sees her with Tarzan and reluctantly transforms her back into a mermaid permanently, forbidding her from ever going to the surface again. Tarzan and Ariel are both sad with the sudden destruction of their relationship and thus take it out on their families, feeling as if they'd still be happy if they didn't have a problem with it. One day, Ariel can't take it and goes to the surface just to see if Tarzan is there and realises he's as equally sad as her. They remember the memories they've shared together and eventually Karla goes to Tarzan and says that she just wants him to be happy, even if that means he wants to be with Ariel. When Ariel is meant to be performing with her sisters and doesn't show, Triton's furious and asks her why she doesn't show, she blurts out she still loves Tarzan and Triton finally sees what he's been putting her through by making her a mermaid permanently. He changes her into a human and everything's hunky dory with everyone.(( I kinda left it open to interpretation whether or not this was permanent so if you want it can still be a situation where she's a human in the day and mermaid at night or something.))
- - -
There were a few issues with this one, mainly the fact I had to remake all my manips again of them since I've got better quality footage, but it was a small price to pay for it. Rendering it was a problem too since I had to render it into parts and then render the whole thing and blah blah blah enough rambling.

Thanks for watching!Yellow {Ron/Hermione}GloriousHysteria2012-02-12 | This is one of those songs that has always reminded me of Ron and Hermione and I always thought it'd be nice to do a vid too, but I never really thought about it until I randomly decided to start it and before I knew it, it was done.
Yeah I pretty much used the same colouring as in my last Ron/Hermione vid (WHICH WAS 6 MONTHS AGO?!?! WHAT HOW? WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!?) because it was already yellow-y and perfect for this vid too :)
Ugh these two give me all the feelings.
Thanks for watching!Remarkable {Disney; for my 1,000+ subscribers}GloriousHysteria2012-01-29 | ALL SONG INFO IS IN THE CREDITS. Maybe if I put this in caps lock people will notice it more :P
WIN! BEST THUMBNAIL. Wow youtube you actually did something right for once, I'm shocked.
This vid is focussing on the scenes in these films which I've always found completely mind-blowing. Just a combination of the animation, the music, the emotion, everything about it never fails in impressing me, no matter how many times I've seen them. Don't really know why I chose only these films, I've just always felt these ones stood out in terms of artistic quality.
I made this mainly because I wanted to do another ensemble Disney vid for my subscribers! I really do appreciate all of you for subbing since it does help motivate me so thankyou. Seriously though, you are, I made this in two days because I was making it for you guys xD
I'M JUST A SWEET TRANSVESTITE. Sorry my description was getting too sentimental so I had to make it more fun and epic. Actually I'm not sorry because that's a good line and yeah, I see you shiver with antici.......................pation.
I know a HP vid, shocking right? I do apologise to all my HP subbers since I've been on a bit of a Disney vidding overload recently, but can't choose where inspiration comes from, right?
The main focus of this is really about Harry and his relationship with his parents and Sirius, and how their deaths effected him throughout his life and how, I think, that impacted other peoples deaths on him as well.
Not the most cheerful way to finish off the year I know. If this vid has depressed you in any way then mission accomplished! :P
Thanks for watching!SECRET SANTA 101 Dalmatians To: vampirewolfkisa From: GloriousHysteriaGloriousHysteria2011-12-25 | MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Hope you like this! I was so happy that you said 101 Dalmatians was one of your favourite Disney films since I've been a bit obsessed with it lately. Or couple rather. Anyway, hope you have a great christmas too!
For ChristmasFantasmic.
Thanks for watching!Between Two Points {My Part; Belle/Aurora}GloriousHysteria2011-12-14 | Don't watch if you're not comfortable with femmeslash (although don't really know why you would since it's oh so good)/implied sex scenes.
I know I don't usually upload seperate mep parts but I mainly wanted to check how the watermark looks on YT and also, loads of people seem to be looking forward to this mep so I thought I might aswell upload my part too. I think I'm only waiting on one more part now!
This has a couple of mistakes that will be fixed.Blóðnasir {Fantasia}GloriousHysteria2011-11-26 | All song info is in the credits.
I know, two vids in under a week! Madness! But I was so inspired by this one I did it in two days.
I mainly did this since it's only recently I've learnt to appreciate Fantasia. I did like it as a kid but I never really knew how unique it is and I honestly think that even today nothing else even compares to it. It's a truly stunning film.
I have to admit I used some scenes out of it more then others but that's just because they fitted the tone of the music better.
Thanks for watching!This Years Love {Disney}GloriousHysteria2011-11-24 | All song info is in the credits (laughing if you don't know it though. Who hasn't heard of this song?)
Had quite a bit of trouble getting this up (if youtube wasn't so damn picky then it would have been up last night!) but now it's here!
This is based on my personal top 4 Disney canon couples; Belle/Beast (Adam), Hercules/Meg, Rapunzel/Eugene (HIS NAME IS EUGENE NOT FLYNN *angry rant for a bit*) and Roger/Anita.
You all should thank Vee, Maggie, my sis and some of my followers on tumblr for this being completed in a week. Without them I wouldn't have gotten this done as fast :)
Anyway, this is quite simple really but I like it (WOO BLACK AND WHITE FOR THE WHOLE THING MAKES IT LOOK MORE CLASSY-SNAZZY). I would have liked it to be longer but I literally ran out of Roger/Anita scenes to use I NEED MORE OF THEM, THEY DON'T EVEN KISS IN THE FILM WHY?!!?
Tumblr (where I will be posting previews and such for the majority of my future vids, need to use it for something other than reblogging stuff and making a few comments about life): http://glowinglunatic.tumblr.com

- - - I didn't do this last year but it seemed like a fun idea so I thought I'd do it this year! Feel free to send me your wishes and I'll see what I can do to help yours come true too :)
1) For more people to have watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (clips of this film are shown after Friends, I tried not to give away anything too spoilery so these were just random shiza). Here's some info about it if you want more info: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808506 It's honestly one of my favourite films of all time and is my favourite anime film. I cannot recommend it enough! It's really just a wonderful, touching film and it's one of the most unique portrayals of time-travel that I've ever seen. I just need more people to fangirl about it with! CHIAKI LET ME LOVE YOU!!!!! It's relatively cheap to buy, but if anyone wants the download for it, feel free to PM me about it :)
2) Similarly to my first wish, I'd like Anime Film recommendations. I'm familiar with every Studio Ghibli films as well as TGWLTT and Summer Wars so I know this might be asking for a lot but I'd appreciate it nonetheless.
3) I'd like it if more people would do more vids to Sigur Ros songs. I don't know I just feel that they're a little under-appreciated in the vidding world.
4) *Stealing idea off Vee now* HP FANFIC RECOMMENDATIONS. I've pretty much drained the Romione section of all the good ones, but I'd like some Remus/Tonks, James/Lily and Teddy/Victoire ones since...I don't know, I just love them okay?!
5) MUSIC RECOMMENDATIONS! I'm always on the look out for it and I'm pretty much up to listening to anything as long as it's not Country music. That's not my thing. Fanmixes would be great in particular!
6) More Tarzan/Ariel love! I mean, it doesn't have to be a vid, but maybe just manips or icons or even backgrounds! I love them so much xD
7) I'd really like Christmas Cards too (E-Cards would be cool too), PM me for my address and vice versa I'll happily send some out too.
8) Downloads for the Ninth and Tenth Doctor episodes of Doctor Who (basically first four series of the newer series), I have series five and six which I will vid soon, but I'd like to watch it all from the beginning since I've only seen a few episodes of Nine and Ten and it'd be nice to watch it and then maybe vid. [DONE]
9) For everyone to take a little time for themselves this year. I don't know, I often think the focus of Christmas is to spend all your money and time on other people when it's equally as important to do something for yourself that'll make YOU happy. If you have the choice whether to buy another present for someone or to buy one for yourself, get the one for you! It never hurts to love yourself a bit, even if it's just for a few minutes on day.
10) *losing ideas now* Umm maybe a vid dedication to me? That'd be nice.
Thanks for watching everyone and for fulfilling my wishes (if you choose to :P). I love you all. Again, send me your wishes and I'll see if I can help some of yours come true too!Heavy in Your Arms {Pocahontas} [SYTYCV]GloriousHysteria2011-10-28 | Group A: Love - Fear - Regret
JUDGES NOTES: While the emotion love was shown quite clearly between John and Pocahontas, I tried to present the other two emotions a little more subtely. Like for Fear, I tried to show a general fear of death such as when Kocuum has been killed, he fears his own death, but Thomas also fears over his capability of killing. I also tried to show how John feared for his death once he was captured for appearing to have done the killing and Pocahontas's fear that he will die. With Regret, I tried to show how the leader of the native tribe regretted his choice in the divide between black and white people since it lead him to nearly killing someone. Finally with John's leaving, I attempted to show how Pocahontas regretted his leaving because she was still in love with him.
- - -
Okie dokie, now that's over with, I really enjoyed doing this vid, simply because Pocahontas is such a stunningly beautiful film IMO. While the story is simple, I just love the amount of character development there is in it for all the characters, not just the main ones. Not to mention I love Pocahontas and John dearly as a couple (I know it's not historically accurate blah blah blah but since when has Disney ever been accurate with it's portrayals on mythology/fairy tales?)
Thanks for watching!Overshadowed {Ron Weasley} [SYTYCV]GloriousHysteria2011-09-13 | The quote at the beginning is taken out of the locket scene in DH {Chapter 19, The Silver Doe for all you muggles}.
When I found out what this challenge was, well...there was only one clear choice for me. I just have so many feelings when it comes to this boy that I could probably write a 15 page essay about him. That's not an exaggeration. I just love him so much and I will never forgive the film's bastardised portrayal of him.
{JUDGES NOTES: The main focus of this is obviously how Ron's always been in Harry's shadow, and how his destroying the locket (which is essentially a symbol of all his fears and insecurities) is a real turning point in his life. He realises how he is needed in his friendship to Harry and Hermione, that he isn't just the 'third wheel'. What also helps his fear of being overshadowed, is the fact that Hermione chose him in the end, not Harry.}
The screencaps to choose from for this video were an absolute fail. Only one of them had Ron in and he looks a bit derpy and it's not really showing the emotion behind the video and just BLARGH!
All song info is in the credits.
Thanks for watching!West Coast Rocks VidletGloriousHysteria2011-08-29 | Non/Disney villains and Harry Potter. Quality fails on youtube.
Probably best not to watch if you don't like bright colours, flashes and just general bad assness.
I gave myself three hours to make this vid (cause Flight of the Concords was on TV so naturally I wanted to watch it) and this is the result! It's a bit messy but meh, don't mind.
I personally think the username suits me admirably :DHoppípolla {Disney}GloriousHysteria2011-08-21 | Due to how popular this video has gotten, I can't thank everyone individually for commenting like I usually do but please don't think I don't appreciate your comments any less. Thankyou so much everyone!
*bows down to tumblr* Officially in love with that site! So much so that I finally got my own one :P http://glowinglunatic.tumblr.com If you want to check it out...
As it's my 18th birthday tomorrow (woo! Everyone wish me a happy birthday :P) I thought it was appropriate to do a tribute to the movies that made up the majority of my early childhood. Who knows what I'd be like today without them?
I was quite surprised this hadn't been done before, the song isn't exactly unknown, but I'm glad since I got to be the first *fist pump* and it just happens to be one of the best songs ever created. It makes me feel so many emotions, me creys xD And of course, the epic Mufasa quote was a necessity with it!
Disney has now made 50 films that are considered to be their Animated Classics and I only included 15 of those films here. Obviously I would have loved to use all of them (but due to the length of the song, lack of space on my computer I couldn't) so I settled for the ones that had the most impact on me. So, if it's not too much to ask, can everyone please stop complaining about the fact that I didn't include Mulan! I worked so hard on this video and for people to just say why didn't you include Mulan or something along those lines is aggravating. Try to imagine spending weeks working on a video like this, putting everything into it until you thought it was perfect, and then having all anyone say about it 'Why didn't you include...?' I had to draw the line somewhere so sorry if that happened to leave out Mulan. I don't really know why it's only this film people seemed to be bothered about me not including but for some reason it is. Right, rant over.
Thanks for watching!
All song info is in the credits.Life, Forever, Infatuation, Summers, Overture, Gravity, Away, Today, Fabuleux {SYTYCV}GloriousHysteria2011-08-04 | JUDGES NOTES:
Most of these are pretty self explanatory, straight forward dedications. But #3, #7 and #9 are crossovers in the Non/Disney Animated fandom. [Non/Disney means including animated movies that aren't made by Disney but by other Animation Studios like Dreamworks etc].
#7 is easy enough to understand. But some info is needed for the other two.
#3 focusses on the theme of obsession, comparing between two men, one who has spent his entire life obsessing over one woman [Frollo/Esmeralda, the older man and dancing woman] (Arguably, this couple can be considered AU or Canon, depending on how you view it). The other man is at the beginning stages of the obsession [Omar/Jasmine; guy with orange hair and girl with longer black hair].
#9 was the idea of a complete Alternate Universe where one character leads to another in this crossover world. It's probably easier to understand when you watch it.
- - -
I specifically chose these videos from looking through the various rounds in the competition so I tried to show my versatility as an editor by showing examples (or videos similar) to the rounds. Like instrumental, themed, crossovers, textual videos to effectsy videos to just general fan videos. My love for Ron/Hermione was clearly shown I think :P They are also my personal favourite videos. The vids tend to date back the further this video goes on (with the exception of the Ron/Hermione one at #8). - - - Also why does nobody listen to the song Black Horse and the CHERRY TREE anymore? It must be because people live by the philosophy HATE IN MY HEART, LOVE IN MY MIND. - - - Colourings are all my own. All songs are pitch changed.
Videos Used: #1) Life Within {Beauty and the Beast} Song: Bonfires By: Blue Foundation
#2) Make This Go On Forever {Ron/Hermione; Harry Potter} Song: Make This Go On Forever By: Snow Patrol
#3) Strange Infatuation {Omar/Jasmine and Frollo/Esmerelda} Song: Without You, I'm Nothing By: Placebo
#4) Endless Summers {Tangled} Song: Go Do By: Jónsi
MY OTP IS SO PERFECT! Seriously, they're so amazing. They just bring out the best in eachother and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sorry little fangirl attack there.
I've been wanting to make this vid ever since I heard this song which was about three years ago. It's just so bloody perfect for these two and it screams DH in every lyric nearly xD
Apologies for the crappy credits that are hard to see, for once feel free to ask me what the song is in the comments xD
I seriously hate the colouring for the HBP movie, it was a f*ckin pain to work with as it always is so some of the quality's abit iffy.
I'm rather proud of how this turned out though. Thanks for watching!Life Within {Beauty and the Beast}GloriousHysteria2011-07-21 | Did you know if you view this 720p, it may just be the prettiest quality you'll ever see? Go on!

I really enjoyed making this one, I kind of forgot how much I love this film for awhile and it was nice to be reminded how phenomenal it truly is.
Don't have much else to say except I like the way it turned out and thanks for watching!Overture {Harry Potter}GloriousHysteria2011-07-14 | Spoiler-Free.

Oh Lord, am seeing DH Part 2 tomorrow...I seem to be having drastic moodswings of excitement and depression about it. Just re-read the book for about the tenth time and was crying my eyes out for the last six chapters so much that my eyes are actually burning now. Doubt I'll make it out the cinema alive.
I was determined to do a tribute to HP before I saw the last film, obviously, and of course, it had to be to my all time favourite band of the universe, and if you don't know that then frankly you're unbelievably idiotic since my username consists of two of their songs.
Sure, this video is not perfect, but I'm still bloody pleased with it since I haven't skipped a single second of the song and it was such an inspirational vid to do. I've always longed to do an entire video in black and white which would work and I've finally done it! Yay!
I have all the HP movies in glorious HD now as well, and they are so much easier to work with! Am loving the new crystal clear screen of it.
All song info is in the credits damn it! If you ask me, I will just copy and paste this message repeatedly. Plus you should know the f***ing song if you have any musical intelligence, it is art I tell you! I've said this twice now, so no excuses people!
Anyway, thanks for watching! *Continues weeping for a few more hours*To Be By Your Side {Ron/Hermione}GloriousHysteria2011-07-03 | "Darling, I will never rest till I am by your side."
SPOILER FREE! I've been avoiding them like the plague since I kind of ruined it for myself last time by watching all the clips WarnerBros released. Not to say it hasn't been difficult, I started screaming the other day with my self control being about inch wide when I saw they released the Chamber of Secrets scene. I mean seriously? Come on! That's not even fair! Anyway, I have stayed strong and resisted.
12 Days and it's all over. Just...wow. I'm going to be crying my poor little heart out when I see it :')
I've been wanting to do this vid for awhile now since every Potter fan should know who this singer is and since H/Hr got a song by him in the movie (which is not romantic in the slightest so it just emphasises how platonic their relationship is whadeufsebfdsdbnbaiondeaio) I wanted to give Ron and Hermione their song by him. I pretty much fell in love with it the moment I heard it too :P
Apologies for my absence as well, with exams and everything there hasn't been much time to vid. But since they're all over and done with and I'm finishing college next week, I should have more time to vid yay!
Anywho, thanks for watching!More Than Ever Before {Disney}GloriousHysteria2011-06-02 | The moment I heard the instrumental at the end of this song, I pretty much dropped all the other projects I was working on and started this :P
It was originally going to be about my three personal favourite canon couples (Beast/Belle, Hercules/Megara and Tarzan/Jane) but the lyrics fitted Eric/Ariel and Phoebus/Esmeralda so here it is. Realised though there are hardly any decent Phoebus/Esmeralda scenes, there's only about three :/ Oh well. Was going to include Eugene (YES HIS NAME IS BLOODY EUGENE STOP CALLING HIM FLYNN PEOPLE AHSDRSEFGHGTY) and Rapunzel but the non 2Dness ruined the flow. Stupid Disney choosing not ot make it in 2D.
I know the quality of my copy of Hercules needs serious improvement gahhhhh. Not my Tarzan though, that's bloomin beautiful!
Quite fond of this one, even though it made me wonder if I'll ever be able to do a video that doesn't include black and white xD
Thanks for watching!Today and Yesterday {Ron/Hermione}GloriousHysteria2011-05-26 | The quality of my DH Part 1 is so beautiful it makes me cry alittle :') Much like this song (which is Icelandic by the way in case you don't understand it).
Went a bit manip crazy on this one, oh well. *sigh* That picture at the end never fails to make me smile even though it's only been around about a week :)
Dedicated to IsabellaGranger12, since her comment on the preview really inspired me to finish this. Also dedicated to VEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (whiimsy) since her comment was just as nice and she dedicated a Romione vid to me so thought I ought to return the favour ;)
Thanks for watching!A Woman {Emma.W, Helena. B.C, Marilyn. M}GloriousHysteria2011-05-21 | Theme of this was meant to be inspirational women. Personally, Helena Bonham Carter's a huge inspiration for me, Marilyn Monroe is an inspiration to my sister and I know lots of people that find Emma Watson an inspiration so eh voila to this video!
Seriously doubt I'll ever do a picture vid again, this is the first time ever I've felt like doing one and I'm pretty sure it's the last.
Have no fear my Romione subbers, I am working on the preview but I needed a break from revision and I managed to make this in a few hours (actually spent more time finding pics I think than actually making it :P).
These sites were unbelievably amazing for this vid:
http://mrs-lovett.org http://m-monroe.org http://emma-watson.net http://emmaw.orgRon/Hermione PreviewGloriousHysteria2011-05-14 | No point in lying, mainly put this up so I can officially claim the manip at the end "OH NO SHE DIDN'T SHA NAY NAY!" "Oh yes, I did." Apparently anyone who complains is ghetto for some absurd reason. Ah well.
A lil something to prove I'm not abandoning vidding over the next few weeks, I just have exams coming up (starting Monday meeeehhhhhhh).
All mistakes will be fixed in full vid and will obviously be in better quality :P

Thanks for watching!Strange Infatuation {Omar/Jasmine and Frollo/Esmerelda}GloriousHysteria2011-04-24 | What madness is this? Three videos in one week? And a crossover? New record for me I think. Maybe I should just quit college so I can vid like this all the time :P
Hands down, one of the best songs ever. Easily in my top five of all time favourites, which is why I was so happy I didn't have to re-pitch it.
All you really need to know about this is it focuses on the theme of obsession. To prevent confusion though...
PLOT: Frollo is infatuated with Esmerelda, so much so that his mind is plagued by thoughts of her constantly. His very existence revolves around her, despite her showing no sign of reciprocating these feelings. Omar and Jasmine are in a relationship, it starts off happily with a few ups and downs but eventually, Omar's true colours show and it's obvious he only really cares about himself. One day, Jasmine gets sick of it and leaves him. When Omar sees her kissing Aladdin, he's beyond furious, finally realising what he's lost. It becomes clear how strong his feelings are for her and he regrets treating her the way he did. Instead of trying to get Jasmine back though, he obsesses over their relationship, remembering every little detail about it. He does nothing else except think of her and hates his life without her in it. Frollo is driven to the point of insanity with his 'love' for Esmerelda and thinks if he can't have her, no-one can and tries to kill her. However, things don't go as planned and instead he ends up dying. Basically what I tried to do was mirror the similarities between Omar and Frollo, and aimed to show that if Omar continued obsessing with Jasmine the way he was, he would end up like Frollo.
This was actually loads of fun to make, MAINLY BECAUSE OMAR IS STRANGELY ATTRACTIVE! In case any of you don't know, he's out of the film Rock and Rule, WHICH IS SO FRIKIN AMAZING! Rather trippy too.
Tried out a new sort of colouring for me, it's a bit meh at the beginning but I do like it when it's more colourful.
All song info is in the credits.Hope {Harry Potter}GloriousHysteria2011-04-23 | Gah. A little part of me died inside having to re-pitch this song. This band can do no wrong! I've been dying to vid a song by them as well,, since they're definitely one of my all time favourites.
Made this in a day, mainly because I wanted to finish another vid before I'm back at college, hence the reason for another upload. 2 in one week? That''s madness!
I wanted to show how visually impressive these set of films are (is it obvious I think POA is the most beautiful? :P), something I've always loved about them. It's only beginning to hit me that they'll be finishing soon, I think I've been in a state of denial for awhile. If only I could remain that way.
Also found a different way of rendering which I prefer so yippee!
