i wanted to use more episodes with this song (also this was supposed to be a fruitshipping video oop) but i dont have a good enough memory to know what episodes of 147 to download so i just made this
psa: i love yuya. he's a precious kid as you can see. also his voice; irresistible. this video revolves around the first episode where we learn about yuya and his good looking, entertaining, yet magically disappearing dad and how yuya strives to be as great as him. in a moment of weakness yuya unlocks the "Hikari no Kiseki, Pendulum Summon!!" that serves as a testament to hidden powers inside him which, spoiler alert, do not stay hidden regardless of how much we want them to mwahahahaha. also pendulum is pretty af and that's why yuya wins all the duels and the nakamas.
making this video hit me in the feels because of how much he goes through in the series. why yugioh gotta do me like this?
i will miss seeing this baby tomato and his egao and i hope he is safe wherever he is

This studio surrounds the idea of surreal flow, so I tried making this flow differently. The video revolves around Cloud and his "fall to darkness" in Kingdom Hearts, and it has some classic KH falling too. Man, I love his and Sora's quotes together... TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS STYLE! I want to know how to improve.
I should mention that I've become obsessed with this ambient type of music, and I'll be editing with it more often. I have a lot of AMV's planned.
I've been really slow editing lately, haha, this took me three weeks. It's going to be harder to find time to edit because of endless exams in university, but no fear! I have SO many videos planned, the best is yet to come!

I edited this in 3 or 4 hours. Everything is reversed because all things come back in the end... at least that's what I'm getting from this.

I tried to go with the simple effects style, having effects that are recognizable. The theme is also, feeling good! I realize that this isn't canon at all, but picture it that way!

Here's the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5bmxumQyCg
I've always loved this video. It has a lot of reasoning behind it, despite its simplicity. In short, it depicts the qualms of these characters, with a slowly increasing intensity and tension. Release is given when they invocate to some ethereal presence watching over them... maybe the Square Enix gods xD
The song is actually really, really hard to edit with, the hardest I've worked with actually. It follows no time signature or regular meter, it's sung off the whim and you don't have anything to follow but the change of notes in the strings... It ends up really depending on how you want the flow to work. Still don't get it? Then I dare you to make a vid with this! I want to see what other people can do with it.
song; the famous lord of the rings song that everyone wants to sing all day because it's soooo calm... inspiration; my younger self who edited this a while ago program; Sony Vegas 12 Propromised land (ffvii) - strings quartetdarkfaerie1452014-01-01 | PUMP UP DAT VOLUME I had no idea I rendered this so quietly... oh well. Jk, jk, this is actually just four violins... one violin recorded four times eheheh... That's why its so terribly synced up, bleh.
This song is just sooooo weighty... it's has a lot of meaning, you can tell it comes with a legendary story. I've always wanted to cover it, although this did not turn out as well as I'd hoped, bleh... This is really me making up from being lazy. Over break I should've practiced more and recorded Sora's theme finally, but that'll have to wait since I've been dedicating most *cough* all my time to editing.
After Sora's theme is finally uploaded, I think I'll be done with these violin things for a while because I just don't think I'm good enough. xD None of my covers turn out as well as I want them to. I think most of this is due to not having a good recording device, but I also think I have ways to go in terms of maturing my playing. So au revoir covers~

I just love this song, and when I was listening to it for the 100th time ever, I realized that I could make a chill video with it, so voila. The most difficult thing about this, and why it took so long, was finding clips because I realized I'm not as familiar with KH as I thought I was, I've become too used to the CGI! But it paid off, and re-watching parts of the game wasn't bad because THE FOOTAGE IS BEAUTIFUL AND HD.
I tried something different with this, a really simple style. It might be confusing because of the multiple layers, but I tried to choose clips wisely, and added layers for interest, and to draw parallels between scenes. So what do you think? Do you like this more simple style? By now, you can probably see that I'm a versatile editor, I enjoy everything, and I think I'm going to keep editing every style.
If you read all my descriptions, I love you ♥
song; the most heartwarming song you've ever heard by the most hopeful band who ever played, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp2SVlMexrg inspiration; FurySp4rk program; Sony Vegas 12 Pro (and only 3 tracks woot)whats left? [amv]darkfaerie1452013-12-29 | :'( This song gives me the feels...
This is a canon video for the one-shot anime titled "Pale Cocoon" from 2006. I had the urge to make an AMV, and so my friend xNeonPotato suggested it to me (thank you friend!). The anime has one episode, and it's about a researcher among the only human society on the moon, for that on earth has been extinguished. The researcher craves to know all about life on earth, but he represents a minority. Many of those around him have given up research, like his childhood friend, because all they find is hopeless and barbaric, tales and examples of how humans destroyed their own world through their "stupidity." At the end of the anime, the researcher finds hope through the song of a woman who was among the first colony on the moon. She describes how their relocation was due to a "rusted earth," but when the researcher transcends his boundaries to see for himself, he finds the earth blue. (This is as he falls to his death.)
It's a nice, brief anime with a thoughtful meaning, so watch it if you get the chance!
song; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGnAsQobwrw inspiration; DazzlingPaw also, thanks again Kyle for the anime idea, I'm really happy you told me about it~moondust | ffdarkfaerie1452013-12-28 | Stripped is always better... xD THIS SONG IS PERFECTION ugh I love it! But how can anyone edit with this and NOT think of Final Fantasy 4? 'Tis a sin, for half the game occurs on the moon!
I highly suggest exploring the FF4 story. I think it has some of the best characters of the entire series, I mean, hello, Kain is a complete BAWS.
I should get a medal for making it through this video... FF4 has about 5 minutes of CGI, but I didn't want to add another universe because FF4 deserves its own dedication... I had originally intended for this to be a canon video surrounding the love triangle of Cecil, Rosa, and Kain. For those of you not familiar with FF4, they'd all been friends since childhood. Cecil and Kain were as brothers, eachother's greatest friend and greatest enemy, but Rosa took a liking to Cecil. Kain has always been in love with her, and it is this darkness and jealousy that allows him to be manipulated so easily by Golbez, one of the main antagonists. I could keep going, but the story only becomes more complex and intertwined... (if you wanna talk about it skype meee)
ALL the space overlays and backgrounds are real. All were captured by NASA's various satellites transcending the vast entity that is the universe, just as you are reading this... Isn't the footage beautiful? They were what made editing this such an experience.
If you have any questions at all, regarding footage, effects, etc., comment...
song; "the sexiest thing you've ever stripped" by Jaymes Young http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL241A5132k program; Sony Vegas 12 Pro, Adobe After Effects CS6 (for text) inspiration; astronomy... oh and also, peachonthegrid introduced me to the original version of this song through her vidnarnia; dawn treader (main theme, lord berns theme) - violindarkfaerie1452013-11-29 | ^^you know, in terms of editing, I could probably make those ripples look a hell of a lot more realistic buuuuut who wants to animate
The soundtrack for Narnia is right behind that of LoTR, in my opinion! It embodies the greatest feeling of adventure and fantasy, and they're EXTREMELY fun to play... Give them a listen, and you'll never want to stop, trust me.
This is a compilation of my two favorite tracks from the OST of "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader," the main theme and Lord Bern's theme. The choir in the main theme drives me crazy and that orchestra at the end makes me want to jump in the ocean. The harp in Lord Bern's theme is just so simply magical and wondrous, I could listen to it all day.
Listen to my original cover of the Narnian Lullaby: youtube.com/watch?v=8Jg3oihI5U4[sᴘᴇᴇᴅ ᴇᴅɪᴛ] ATLAS [кн]darkfaerie1452013-11-28 | So, I've wanted to make one of these for a while, just for laughs and giggles, and this was the perfect opportunity since it is my shortest project. Speed editing is strange, I condensed 2 hours and 45 minutes of editing into 4 minutes in this video by speeding it up by 3500%... The 20 minutes I spent on finding appropriate coloring for each clip looks like 10 seconds in your eyes. It makes editing seem easier than it actually is, and it makes me seem better than I am, too! :P
Anyway, enjoy watching me stumble and scroll senselessly through fonts~
Should I do more like this in the future? Or stick to videos? :PATLAS [кн]darkfaerie1452013-11-28 | This video was purely passion~ No, seriously, I made it in 2 hours and 45 minutes. I'm pretty sure that's a record for me! So... Coldplay. Chris Martin. Yeah. Amazing.

I was craving to make an AMV, so I used the only anime I watch, Yugioh! Believe it or not, this show still has quite the cult-ish following, even among older people. I hope to make more in the future (ahem... maybe a year...), but to prepare my usual Kingdom-Hearts-Final-Fantasy fans for it, I re-created this as an introduction.
What do you think of my AMV style? Can I have any advice or critique please? If you have any questions at all, comment below. :)

Request; Finding; Journey; End. *************************************************** What does water represent? Purity, reflection, peace? A multitude of things. I see water clear and quaint, as I thought of this video. The canon I am depicting is the plot of Final Fantasy 13-2 as an inefficacious (unsuccessful) journey. A poem I wrote is accompanied by edited versions of two compositions. The music starts in awe, and then transforms into an acoustic piano echo that is empty and quaint.
Lets talk plot. I could spend two or three paragraphs explaining this, but let's organize this into a list. Here is a list of goals for Final Fantasy 13-2, and their success rate.
̲G̲̲o̲̲a̲̲l̲̲s̲̲ ̲̲i̲̲n̲̲ ̲̲1̲̲3̲̲-̲̲2̲ - Defeat Cauis Ballad; technically accomplished, but inconsequential, since he still achieved his goal of darkness - Defeat impending chaos; unsuccessful, Cauis tricks Noel into releasing the Manifestation of Etro, enveloping the world in timeless darkness - Bring Serah to Lightning; unsuccessful, although she encountered Lightning once or twice, Serah died before she could meet her elder sister - Save Cacoon's future; unsuccessful, just when Hope thinks all is well, the world is enveloped by darkness, although Cacoon is in the air, it's future is dark - Rewrite Noel's future; unsuccessful, the world is in a stasis without human progression, no one is born or dies - Save the seeresses Yeul and Serah; unsuccessful, Serah and Yeul are killed because of visions, nothing is able to save them
So, you can see my point. Despite the many goals Noel and Serah had, none of them were accomplished. In reality, their feats only rendered the world worse than it was. Of course, these failures will become motivations for the characters in Lightning Returns, but until then, all we are left with is a bleak empty world.
I expressed this canon of a bleak, fruitless adventure through creating a distinct mood for the video through the poem, music, and perspective. Here is a list of things I did to support this mood.
-The third stanza of the poem uses harsh, real adjectives to describe the main characters as forgotten, lost, broken, and missed. These all have a tone of sorrow and helplessness. -Repetition is used to make the viewer think the poem will once again end with "mend," but instead it ends with an abrupt "end," to signify the unexpected death of Serah. -Dark, cloudy coloring is used to make the video bleak and metallic. During the instrumental escapes without the piano melody, selective coloring is used to remove all color save for blue to represent water and chill. -Clips are cropped to remove eyes. Odd isn't it, how eyes give away so much emotion? Just removing them creates an expressionless, somber, and empty character that perfects the mood. It also changes perspective on common clips and cutscenes. -Minimal effects are used other than coloring to retain simplicity and calmness of the music and mood. -Typography is suddle. It's glowing and slightly animated as ripples. In the background are the latin descriptions in Etro script given to each of the main characters. - The theme of water furthermore expresses simplicity and stasis; clarity; simplicity.
Aren't lists wonderful? If you have any questions about further perspective on the video or the poem, PLEASE ask. I am up for a fruitful discussion any and every day.

I loved making this raw video because Final Fantasy IV is one of my favorite Final Fantasy's. The characters are marvelous and well developed, and the story is good too. This raw video was the perfect opportunity to try out something I've wanted to do for a while: use 8-bit parts. Of course, Final Fantasy IV was originally released on the SNES and since the has had 5 or 6 re-releases on different platforms, the latest of which is the iOS. Why don't I make this video nostalgic and use good 'ol 8-bit?

A little about my style: I like simplistic videos. Usually I prefer minimal effects, if any at all. I like to make videos that mean something or tell a story. Overall, I want to make beauty in the most calming, comfortable way. I want to be in this studio because I love what it embodies and I really want to learn new styles and techniques from others. Thanks for considering!Coldplay Speed of Sound VIOLIN COVERdarkfaerie1452013-01-13 | Thank you so much for watching! Please subscribe for more covers coming soon!
