Phew! I've been working on this MMV for nearly a decade, if you can believe it. When I started I had no idea what I was doing, and now... well. I know how to use text at least?? It's an interesting melange of my old and new editing, but probably no one besides me can see that LMAO.
This project has been - very personal, even painful at times. I started editing it as a way to cope the end of an abusive friendship, and the intense grief that came with it. I considered throwing this project out a couple of times, especially in the early years - figured it was maybe some sort of way to hold on to something unhealthy - but I kept it because I didn't want to throw away everything I'd put in it, and every once in a while I'd open it up and chip away at it with whatever I'd learned about editing in the meanwhile.
Anyway. I'm over the old baggage now and I think my video is really cool and I'm very happy with it :}

This is my part for the (second volume of) Canon Renaissance's Don't Trust Me MEP!
I have a lot of complicated feelings about The Boxtrolls as a whole - there are so many things about it that I adore, but I also think it's riddled with extremely poor narrative decisions, and a lot of all that comes together in Archibald Snatcher.
not gonna get into that here tho, i don't have all day

im too tired to get into it but suffice to say, i wasnt allowed to do any colouring for this mep part and i hated it so i redid it :D yay

Editing this video was a very. uh. new kind of challenge. The idea was so silly I had to pause and laugh every two minutes I was working on it. The super limited Trickster scenes made it both harder and easier - obviously I didn't have a lot of footage, but he's surprisingly versatile! I didn't have to think a lot about what scenes to use because there just wasn't a lot to pick from, so a lot of the video basically edited itself ghdksghsdg
I could say more but why would I
this masterpiece needs no explanation

This is a small piece (of over 20 seconds!! damn) of a vent edit that's been slow cooking for a couple of years. Thought it was nice by itself and I wanted to show what I've been working on to my friends, so - here you go

Editing this part was GRUELLING for no apparent reason at all. I do like how it came out in the end - it's very different from what I had in mind, but still good I think - but it also forced me to face the reality that I just can't churn out MEP parts like I used to be able to, and I shouldn't be trying.
So I decided that after this one I'd only do personal editing for a while - to remind myself who I'm doing it all for (me)
i'm tired of being tired!!!! !!!! 1!
anyway. ENJOY

for anyone wondering, yes this is a blatant attempt to throw everyone back to 2011
this one's been in the works for over two years. it took a life of its own after a while - i think the first 20 seconds or so are exactly as i intended when i started, everything after that just kind of happened - but i think the general gist of it still holds up.
weird how it's over a minute long but it still feels so short

This one's for CrystallicRose! A bit late because I was gone all of last week, but I hope it's worth the wait. As usual I had a whole speech in my head but I'm too exhausted to remember it :') I'm going to hibernate early this year
anyway very nostaligic song with a very nostalgic pairing for me, very fun, would've made it three times as long if i'd had the time

This was originally a mep part, but it was deemed inappropriate by the host. 8'D Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I personally think giant birds and goddesses should be in love, obviously u__u
EDIT: please note there's absolutely no bad feelings between me and the host of the mep! it was just an unfortunate misunderstanding, we've talked about it and we're on good terms. please enjoy this video as the standalone edit it is now!

I noticed the sign-up a day late BUT I got super lucky because they needed a replacement! This was SUPER FUN to make, it took me a bit of struggling to figure out what characters I wanted to use but after that it was a blast. For the first time in a long time I really felt like my old editing self again! :D

I wanted to do this part SO BAD. Special thanks to Georgette for helping me barrel through my first editing block, and super special thanks to my friends for suggesting putting Lady with her which I never ever would've considered otherwise.

this video has been in the making for over 3 years - it's the first project in which I used colour corrector as shown to me by nikki, lol. it's an ode to the old style crossover editing; fast-paced with an abundance of close-ups, cookie cutter, layered clips, and chroma keyer. JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT
- pls read these rules carefully
- 2d non/disney only (animash allowed)
- crossovers and non-crossovers are both fine
- there is no theme just do whatever you want with the lyrics
- use lots of effects and don't forget the power of overlays
- for the love of god don't put bruises or blood or tears onto characters
- go wild have fun!!

Canon Renaissance hosted another gift exchange and I am nothing if not a sucker for gift exchanges. This one's for mosc0wcath!!
I was very excited when I saw your wishlist - your editing and music preferences seemed right up my alley!! (plus it gave me an excuse to edit with helluva boss and hazbin hotel) - but I got kinda carried away and I almost switched to a safer, simpler project several times because this one was rapidly starting to grow over my head and I really wasn't sure if you'd like it and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa BUT IN THE END I COMMITTED AND HERE IT IS!!! ONLY ONE DAY LATE

Ruthlace gave me this project a while back bc I wanted to know all about the effects and the layers, and I had to replace the footage with something - that something was Brother Bear, and we both thought this accidental result was p funny

There are few things I enjoy more than a MEP specifically asking me to experiment and go hog wild with the effects. MAKES MY DAY, REALLY.

In hindsight I have Some Regrets™ because my colouring sticks out like a sore thumb and I also accidentally broke a rule (SCANDALOUS!!) but this part was SO much fun to edit... u__u
This was definitely one of the most challenging edits I've made so far - in sO many different ways.
Picking the footage was the first hurdle (in hindsight, Hisoka was the obvious choice) and I don't know what it is about anime that makes it so hard to get the colouring right AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE VHS EFFECT.... but of course the text took me the longest.
(obligatory shout-out to the video that inspired me the most: youtube.com/watch?v=rJCTypyV5d8)
The lyrics make up SUCH a big and important part of this music, so I really wanted the video to reflect that - normally I wouldn't ever put so many different fonts and text effects in a single video, it was quite a struggle to find a way to keep the whole thing flowing naturally and also looking good and.... oof.
ANYWAY IM QUITE PLEASED WITH THIS PART AND ALSO MYSELF

I kinda... stretched the theme for this one, I just really REALLY wanted to make a video like this.
Story: Ariel is a (minor) goddess. She and Eris are friends and visit each other's realms frequently. Knowing of her Ariel's curiosity towards humans, Eris points her to a passing ship. Ariel meets Sinbad and soon falls for him. Eris decides to teach her how weak and shallow humans really are.

It nearly killed me, stuff kept getting corrupted and using Bambi/Ronno was really a last resort - normally I would've also added text but I just didn't have the time or the patience. I ran out of inspiration halfway through so I borrowed a little bit from youtube.com/watch?v=aaBYanXt6R8
