I put a lot of time and thought into the execution, and was really happy I won the contest with it! The theme for this round was 'time capsule', so pretty self-explanatory. In the end it became quite a personal video for me (as it usually does it seems...)
My great-grandfather was a French soldier stationed in Germany during the early stages of war. It was unthinkable, of course, to fall in love with a German woman. They vowed to escape together - to leave the country, to somewhere out of reach, where rank and nationality wouldn't matter. The day they were meant to meet at the train station, she saw him standing in the hall, waiting for her. Just when she was about to call out to him, she saw military officers approaching. Shocked into silence, she could do nothing but watch as he was led away. It was the last time she would see him. She was already carrying his child. What sounds like the scene from a movie is the bitter truth for so many families out there. Just because the fighting ends at some point, doesn’t mean the surviving get to reunite. My great-grandmother was a strong woman. Even after the war, for years and years to come she tried everything in her power to find him, to know at least, if he was dead or alive. I wanted to bring that feeling across - being left behind in a war torn world, unable to let go or find closure, just never 'knowing'. Violet in my story is not a war machine, not a soldier bloodied in endless fights – she is just a woman in the aftermath of war, forever wishing and waiting to see his face once more.
I used a crossover of two anime and quite a bit of tweaking to make it work. I had a tough time deciding how to end the video. Originally the final clip was left out, and I ended it at her smiling through tears. But Alicia and Amy were like 'no way, you cannot end it like that!', so, there you go, haha. I decided to keep the background white for it to have sort of a 'dreamy' ambiance - an open ending if you so will.
That was a long description, kudos if you made it this far, have a cookie! Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy, Anna~

I had planned to change a tiny little thing with the text, but I have simply no time and my editing macbook is already 9 years old and the rendering for this particular project took forever, so... I'll just leave it be.
The theme was 'parts of the body'. I had so much fun editing this video and I am eternally grateful this movie exists. I asked my cousin to teach me a little bit of sign language, but as the editing was progressing, I realized that it really is entirely different in each country, sometimes including several dialects. So the sign language I included, albeit correct, is a mixture of several sign languages across the world. I'd also like to mention that I took liberty in adjusting the storyline quite a bit. Here's some of the scenes that I created: drive.google.com/file/d/17dvgML-N64xD3fkJicZ4S_Ip0c2yGcFc/view?usp=sharing
I worked really hard on this video, as we had only one week to complete it. I hope it shows.
Overall I must say I am somewhat listless with editing new things at the moment. I started a bunch of projects but I never finish any of them. Part of it is, as I mentioned, my computer being so so slow. For it being so old it is actually still doing a fantastic job, but I find myself wanting to explore new and different types of animation and editing and it's just really frustrating when you have to wait forever after each click. I bought a SSD hard drive and hope I'll soon find the time to exchange it. Hopefully that will make it faster. I hope everyone is well all things considered in this pandemic. All the best to you!

The theme for this round of POE was 'Gadgets and Gizmos'. I thought of artificial intelligence, androids and robots, and Metropolis came to mind. It's a very powerful film with some of the most beautiful animation I have ever seen. Unfortunately, besides the main girl, the character designs are really not my style (aka, ugly), but I wanted to focus on the robots here anyway, so...
Also, I am absolutely in LOVE with Woodkid's new album. This was one of the songs that stood out to me as eerily beautiful. The Japanese children's choir, paired with lyrics about reactors, and a feeling of isolation and segregation seemed almost too good to be true. While editing, I felt like the song was written for this anime.
THEME "The citizens of Metropolis build and use robots for their convenience, and won’t hesitate to dispose of them the second they don’t fulfill their purpose. The android girl in this movie is but a tool to greater power, in a war between robots, second class humans, and those god-like figures standing above all else. The moment she realises she is not human, should not be able to feel love or be loved in return, is so heartbreaking. I’ve been wanting to edit with this movie for the longest time, and I am glad this round gave me the chance."

Here's the video I made for Round 6 of POE Contest. The theme this time around was 'Dynamic Duo', to focus on two characters that form a team of sorts. I was immediately reminded of this movie, and when I heard the song, I actually startled by how matching the lyrics are. I mean... not giving up on your dreams, falling into the sky and worlds reappearing - all that literally screams Patema Inverted haha
For a while I've been meaning to make a video about the ambiguity of dreams. They can lift us to higher grounds, but they can also become shackles when they get too overwhelming and seemingly out of reach. It can be comforting to know that there is someone out there who shares your goals and visions. Both characters are tied down by their search for ‚something more‘ in their confining worlds, but only together they learn to overcome their fears and carry the burden to achieve their mutual dream.
I hope you enjoy~
Special thanks to Alicia for always looking over my betas. We made it through the prelims staying (mostly) sane, yayyy lol

INFO: Song: Forever By Your Side Artist: Awakened & Azuria Sky Anime: P@tem@ Inverted「信義」Festival of Souls // AMVxAnicsi2020-11-01 | Hi guys, as promised, here’s my first ‚new‘ video after about 5 years! (At least the first one I am uploading, hehe…) I decided to participate in the Project Org Editor contest again, because back in 2015 it inspired me to create some of my most cherished videos and with everything that’s going on, when would I ever find enough time again, right? There is something about pushing yourself to edit a video to a certain theme within a week that’s both challenging and inspiring. Admittedly, I enjoyed the experience more the last time around, but I am trying to find the passion and momentum I had for editing back in the day, so this is helping me tremendously.
Theme for this round was ‚‘tis the season’ and focused around holidays and seasons.
Obon in Japan is a buddhist festival during which the souls of the deceased are said to return back to earth. It is one of my most cherished memories from visiting Japan, and I wished we had a similar tradition to honor our loved ones. During the festival, families traditionally send their ancestors' spirits back to their dwelling place under the guidance of fire and dance. It is sad because it makes us think about people who passed, but it is also fun and happiness, and a bit of mystery and magic.
While editing this video, I had so many fond flashbacks of experiencing this festival a couple of years ago, and I tried to include everything I loved about it back then.
Today is All Saint’s Day in many parts of the world, a day when we visit the graves of people who passed before us, so I thought it would be more meaningful to upload the video in their memory.
Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy!

I found this video sorting through my hard drive and realized I never got around to uploading it. This is also an old video, edited for the semi finals (I think?) of 2015 POE contest back in the day. As with all the videos of that contest, I originally had planned to fix up some things but I lost some of the files. So, there you go, it's a bit flawed, but I still like it a lot.
The round of this theme was 'copycat'. We were supposed to create a video based on another editor's work. I chose 'Love Checklist' by Jazzsvids, cause I simply love it to pieces and Jazzy's such an inspiring editor! Check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=kFDpjgufwYw
I purposely left out the kind of effects she used in her video, because I didn't want to replicate her video, I wanted it to be my own, inspired by her work.

I know I always say 'I'm back!' and then I vanish again for a couple of months. I really wish work and life weren't so busy. Even so, as I mentioned before, want to upload the unpublished videos I've accumulated over the years. Most of them were edited for Project Org Editor on amv.org back in the day. I had wanted to change some things here and there, but since I know now I never will, I'll at least leave you with the original versions, flawed as they may be. I hope you enjoy!
This video was for the Grand Finale of POE, and unexpectedly I even won the contest with the video. I am so thankful for all the positive feedback I received, although I lost a lot of points because the theme was too ambiguous haha The theme was 'Wheel of morality' and we were supposed to show a morale or life lesson through our video. I started with a very ambitious video that I have had in mind for a very long time, but I realized I wouldn't be able to finish it it time. So midway I decided to pair this beautiful song, amazing anime and a lyric of my favorite song by Panic! at the Disco: "I know the world's a broken bone, but melt your headaches, call it home." I don't wish to lay the meaning out for you, as I think the beauty of that line lies in its abstract nature. I hope everyone can make up their own interpretation of the video and take something valuable with them.

On another note: I get asked frequently to reupload my Child of Fire video. I am afraid I cannot do so, because I got a strike for it last time, as it is a German band.

You can expect about 5 more videos from that contest.
This was Round 1, and the theme was to make a video centered around a phobia or illness. Tale of Melodies used to be one of my favourite Anime, and I've always been especially fond of Yuuko. She has never known anything else besides abuse and pain, so she cannot see for herself what a pure soul she carries. There is one more song I have in mind for a video for her, I hope I will one day be able to properly tell their story.

I don't even know where to start with this, other than the fact that I'd like to pop some champagne to celebrate, haha. We held auditions for this MEP in December 2010. Which means it has been over 5 years since then, and I am sure, about 99 percent of you thought it would never be finished. Well, here I am to prove you wrong!
Looking back, there were many moments where I just wanted to drop this baby. I literally cringed every time someone mentioned the POTF MEP (#TheMepThatMustNotBeNamed) and having it completed really lifts a weight off my shoulders. On the other hand, I AM SO PROUD, EVERYONE! Honestly! I watched the MEP 4 times already from start to finish, which is ONE HOUR of my life, I must say, but it came out so wonderfully beautiful, and I sincerely want to thank you all for being such amazing editors! I know some of you might think your parts are outdated because they were completed a long time ago, but… pshhhhh, they're perfect! Truly!
That said, I am sorry for being such a naggy slave-driver of a beta-tester, especially to those who changed their parts so often. I am also sorry to some other people who were involved from the start, but whose parts I lost in computer/harddrive crashes. I am sorry to those who delivered amazing betas, but whose parts didn't make the final cut because the editors went missing at some point. I thank you all for your hard work, especially my Fidelity Studio Members, most of all Alicia, Amy and Laura. The MEP wouldn't be completed today if it wasn't for you!
I really hope you enjoy this MEP, I for my part, hold it very close to my heart. ~ Anna over and out

I edited it for Round 7 (Semi-finals) of Project Org editor during Summer. The theme was 'Identity Crisis' and we had to edit a video that flips the script on what would be expected from our sources or the characters in our video.
I picked Kara no Kyoukai because Shiki and Mikiya are, at times, incredibly cheesy and I would really love to see those two as main characters in a Shoujo anime, haha.
I hope you enjoy the video, I will post the other videos of the competition when I get a bit more free time to myself.

However, I am dropping for R2 cuz I got another dub step song and I'm literally cringing when I think about having to edit it. I know, I suck :(
I speed watched through the first season of this, but the anime becomes a TRAINWRECK in the second season, so don't bother watching. If you want some entertainment, read the reviews on the second season on MAL lol
Here's to hoping I'll have time to finally edit stuff I actually enjoy again, though.
I hope you like it~
AMV INFO (IN THE CREDITS)「信義」Home ♦ Wolf Children AMVxAnicsi2014-08-28 | 'They say home is the place where your heart is Then I am home now, though I am far away'
I've been doing a lot of thinking recently. About family, friendship – about places we call home. As someone who has been moving around on her own numerous times in the past decade, I've been finding it more and more difficult to come 'home'. No matter where I am, I never quite feel like this is the place where I belong. It's like the scenes have been frozen in time, everything remains the same, but I have changed. Then again I think maybe it's the other way around, maybe I am stuck, and things and people around me move on and I cannot reach anymore. After some time, it is hard to tell the difference. I realized that I spent half my life chasing people who have turned their backs on me, and it's costing me my entire strength. I cannot do that anymore. The lyrics of this song, as well as this beautiful, wonderful movie, have touched me in a way that hit too close to home. (Pun not intended) I hope that someday I will find the place that will let me feel like I belong there with my entire being. Until then, "I've decided to carry home inside me."
♦
They say home is the place where your heart is Then I am home now, though I am far away For so long I've let the forest guard it And now it's begging me to stay And I'm trying my best to be tough To pretend I am strong and can siphon it off But I'm not who I wanted to be In my heart I belong in a house by the sea
They say home is a place where you're needed Then I am home now, but I am leaving To feel my feet being kissed by the seaweed And I will be silent and kiss it back This is not who I want you to see It's just adding on weight to the darkness in me And from the little I have understood I believe that a house by the sea would do good
They say home is a place you can choose to be And I've decided to carry home inside me So it's not really as if I am leaving It's more like something pulling me Because behind everything that I do I just want to forget, want to carry this through Fill my lungs with the sweet summer air In my heart, in my mind I am already there
Yeah behind everything that I do I just want to come home and lay down beside you And then I'll be who I wanted to be In my heart I belong in a house by the sea

No matter what our individual story may be, a separation from someone we loved hurts bad. We are all going through the same feelings. I deeply love the lyrics of this song, especially the chorus. You might feel like there is nothing worse than the ache you're feeling right now, but in reality you will be going through different stages of heartbreak. Even so, always believe that there'll be a day when it's just a bittersweet memory.

Long story short, I haven't edited at all since the Akross video that just sucked all life out of me, so Jazzy dragged me into the 3-Day IC of doom. (Yes, blame her xD)
We had three days to make a video of a certain category to songs given to us. Most of the song choices in Romance/Sentimental were a bit... questionable, though, so I couldn't use any of my beloved heart wretching romances i had prepared :(( The entire Friday I spent speed-watching through 20 episodes of this Anime. And I never ever dreamed I would edit to Robbie Williams one day lol Anyway, in between convincing my roommates i wasn't depressed for staying in my room 24h a day and hardly sleeping and eating and still going out to drink (bad idea), this happened.
And i don't even know why I am writing this here, so whatever, ENJOY, and I hope you get the story i was going for *facepalms* I actually masked quite a bit, so i'm proud of mehself *pats shoulder*

The video was heavily influenced by the original music video to this song, as well as the movie 'Mr. Nobody' and my own experiences. I wished I had had more time to fix some of the things, but I am still happy as it is the first time for me editing anything of this scale.

I chose the song because to me it perfectly unravels the feelings Rin is fighting with every single day. There are a lot of people who couldn't stand Rin in the beginning, but to me he has always been my favorite character in the show, and certainly one of the most realistic.
He wants to be loved, he wants to be known for who he is, he wants to not get left behind, and he wants to be trusted. As a rival, a teammate, a friend and (jup jup who knows) quite possibly as something more.
If that's not human, then what is?
I am so not sorry. RinHaru is love and whoever thinks otherwise is welcome to leave right now. I DEDICATE THIS VIDEO TO EVERYONE WHO SHIPS THEM AS HARD AS I DO.
Maybe I should explain that I am not so much a Free! fan than that I love Rin and Haru. While I do enjoy the Anime, what made me anticipate a new episode each week, was the relationship between those two. I won't say it's unique, it certainly isn't, but they have both very interesting characteristics and... ahhhh the tension between those two is just indescribable, hsajdasjak. Seriously. Just... they waltzed right in into my life, breaking my heart little by little and SERIOUSLY GUYS, HOW CAN YOU DO THAT TO ME???
Thankfully, they reassembled it yesterday in the last episode. ;__; I can die happy now ♥

Nothing graphic, just hugs and kisses. If you can't take it, don't watch, but please don't hate!
This video contains SPOILERS for the OVA Fuyu no Semi/Winter Cicada.
"If it weren't this age, we also might have been able to be together." - "I'm sure that age will come. A day when we can be together, without being captive to our social status or clan!" "Then, until that day comes, I wish I could sleep as this cicada does..."
This amv was inspired by a Merlin MV (which I cannot find right now) with the same song and thematics. Without ever having watched Merlin, it actually made me cry, and I immediately had to think of Haru wo Daiteita, and the included story Fuyu no Semi. I had only read the manga back then, and sadly I was quite disappointed by the OVA of HWD (seriously, it's SO bad, it was so hard even just scraping a few scenes together for this video) but in the end I was rewarded by the beauty that is Fuyu no Semi. I cannot say I like the OVA more than the manga, but they did a fantastic job with the Animation. There aren't many stories that made me cry as much as Fuyu no Semi did. In all honesty - it's one of the most tragic love stories ever written.
I hope you will enjoy this video, even though it's not supposed to be anything special. I just wanted to give that sad story some sort of hopefulness, I guess.
Lastly, I want to dedicate this video to Kate and Pola. I had intended to make a happier video for you some day, but this will have to do for now. I hope you know that you're two special people to me, and that I am not mad at you in any way. It's just the feeling of sadness and frustration that pushed me to react the way I did. Even though we don't get to talk that much, I have always so much fun when I'm with you. Thanks for taking me under your wing, and letting me be part of your studio. I'm very sad you both are planning to give up editing on top of everything else. It's a big loss for the yaoi community, you know? :) Much love from me, don't cry to much over the video, he...
ALL INFO AT THE END OF THE VIDEO.「信義」Remains | (1h IC w/ Amy & Moo)xAnicsi2013-02-17 | Sooo, I kinda invited myself to the IC cause ICs are awesome and obviously I haven't edited enough this past week (uhuuuu *cough* XD) anddd well, my ICs never turn out that good cause Final Cut is a bitch and I don't have time to add effects or zooms or... ANYTHING, really.
So, enjoy the piece of RAW meat xD
Thanks to amy and moo, it was still a nice end to my vacations :33
I mourn the loss of Amy's skittles, but you deserve them, Alicia! I can't wait to see your video (I haven't checked youtube for it yet, but I bet it's uploaded by now), i'm sure it turned out amazing.
So, to the obvious. I used AnoHana. Now, not many people will know this, but I once said I would never ever watch that Anime, because it is heartbreaking as fuck and I knew it would make me cry endlessly, and just - argh. But then I heard this song last week, and you know this moment, when you know two things would fit together perfectly? Well, it was like that with the song and this anime (which doesn't seem to make sense, because I hadn't seen it yet, but trust me, it does.)
For those who don't know the Anime, a short recap: It is about a couple of childhood friends who lose their friend Menma, after an accident. They all blame themselves for her death, for different reasons, and start drifting apart afterwards. Menma's ghost comes back to tell them they must together fulfill her wish, so she can go to heaven. Sounds tragic? Yep, it is. I'm sorry I made it look like they do nothing but cry and run in that anime. They do other things, too! Occasionally....
It was fun watching you all go crazy because I wouldn't tell you the Anime, haha. Even though I am sure you figured it out by now :3
I made this video for a few people which I am very happy and grateful to have in my life: Talz, Mero, Siny, Justin, Moo, Amy and Alicia. The past months have been really draining, and I cannot say how much your company keeps me from going insane. You are all so important to me, you cheer me up when I'm down, I know I can rely on you, and I thank you so wholeheartedly for just remembering me. I don't know what I would do without you.
In some cases, though, I feel like we're drifting further apart, instead of getting closer. That makes me very sad. A relationship always means effort from both sides. I know I haven't been around much, because of stupid school, and when I am, I am usually still occupied with homework. But I'm trying. I really am trying. And all I can do is offer to give what I can give. If you take it and give in return, is up to you.
Now, I really hope this video makes you cry, as a revenge for how much I cried when editing this *smiles* Your tears will be very precious to me. (Justin, your manly tears especially. Though it might still be a goal I have yet to reach... )
Thanks for watching, and to everyone else, I hope you'll enjoy it!
PS: I'm sorry it's so fast paced sometimes. There was so much perfect footage I wanted to squeeze in, that it just turned out that way. And - Shitty thumbnail, of course...

Can you rememberrr??? The epicness, since I am here visiting Mero once more I thought we should take the chance to reupload this masterpiece of a collab *smirk*
LOL no, but seriously, I still love this video very much and WE ALL KNOW HOW TRUE THIS SONG IS!!! WHAT COULD ENTERTAIN US MORE THAN COOKING?? HMM???? XDDDDD
so I finished this like a week before your birthday already, but I didn't exactly want to make you cry (or even just sad, for that matter) with everything that's going on at the moment, so I kept it until now.
I want to let you know that I'm really proud of you right now. Not many people would be able to deal the way you do. Even though it is really tough, you're never complaining; you always give your best in what you're doing. And it's not only this situation, I often think that you're very compassionate in whatever it is you approach. I think that is really great and one of your strongest points! However, don't forget there are people here to help you out, whenever. You know you can always rely on me, I'll be happy to help. That's what friends are for *hugs*
You've become one of my closest friends, and I'm so happy we met, and I can rant to you about all my crazy obsessions without feeling stupid xD I wish you all the best for the new year of your life.

Love you ♥ Take care, my dear. Anna
I really want to thank everyone who beta-tested the amv for me (Amy and Alicia, I believe.

I didn't even have to pitch it, isn't that neat? It is, it is...
Also, this was a One Day Collab, and i think Lori and Erica cursed me more than once because I was stupid (or confident? xD) enough to cut us all like 1.10 mins parts lolol For one day.*cough* Ya, anyway, but we managed, and i still love it, it's prettyful :3 The parts are also all very different, but that's really cool 8D

Cheers :)
omg theirs are so much better lol I don't stand a chance. HOLY EFF GIRLSSS. Oh well, next time maybe xD「信義」Forever (Cloud & Tifa)xAnicsi2012-05-22 | 'You gave me so much more than I could ever ask for...'
Another old video of mine, but I have to say that I still love it, and I am really proud of it, too. I think it's story-wise the most complex video I have ever edited. Even though it sticks closely to the original story, I played a lot with colors and masking to manipulate the scenes so they'd fall together seamlessly. I hope you ilke it!
Story: After Zack and Aerith died, Cloud is stuck in the past longing for a life with both of them. He isolates himself from the outside world and even his best friend Tifa. Both begin to walk a different path, fighting for the sake of their friends and the world that is still in danger. Cloud is searching for something that he can't seem to get a grasp of, but Tifa sees that he cannot fight anymore, that the revenge from when he killed Sepiroth does in no way make him feel better. She decides to fight in his place, putting her life on the line for the one man she loves...
IMPORTANT: While the story is quite simple, the flow of the video is not xD You could say all the chorus take place after the verses and pre-chorus. I know it's sort of shitty, but it fell together like that ^^" Deal with it xp
The storyline is actually as follows: -- Prologue: Cloud awakes after having a nightmare. When he sees that Tifa is still sleeping, he heads out, recalling his dream. -- verse 1 & pre chorus 1: Cloud unsettled, remembering Aerith and Zack, flashbacks have a black frame :D -- verse 2 & music part & pre chorus 2 : While Cloud is unable to fight Kadaj, Tifa faces Loz for the sake of Cloud. Cloud doesn't know anything of the fight, looking for something to finally settle down. While still feeling the pain of losing his friends, he thinks of his inability to fight and about Tifa who cared so much for him. Having suddenly a bad feeling he heads back to the church, where she's still struggling. -- Chorus 1: Tifa, defeated, screams out for Cloud, while he's on his way, trying to get there as fast as possible (It is evening by now, the sun is setting...). When he discovers her unconscious, he remembers their fight against Sephiroth. Being alone again afterwards he thinks about their relationship and Tifa being angry at him for blaming himself etc. blabla xD (It is night, means blue colours and stuff :D) -- Chorus 2: Cloud is still out, remembering what happened in the church after finding Tifa. He finally drives home, unsure what he should do. -- Bridge: Cloud arrives early in the morning and finds Tifa still sleeping, so fragile, yet strong in her desire to help him. Once again he recalls his fight against Sephiroth, whom he killed to avenge Zack and Aerith. He thinks of all Tifa has done for him and sees that he no longer can suppress his feelings. When she wakes up and everyone gathers in the church, he tells her that he is ready to fight because she reminded him of the true reason to fight: Not for revenge but to protect what is dear to him. The both of them head out to fight the demon. -- Chorus 3: Well, one last fight and happy end xD lol just as in the movie, only that Sephiroth is long since dead. (And doesn't come to life)
Well, not that it all mattered lol If you have really made it this far you will get a big fat chocolate cookie xD
Footage: Final Fantasy AC (&Complete), FF Crisis Core Song: Forever Artist: RED Program: Final Cut Express Edited by: Anicsi Wind of Dreams Production「信義」Never Enough | NANA amv | Big Contest 2012xAnicsi2012-05-11 | "'Never Enough' is a song about friendship, sisterhood, and the perils of loving someone that takes more than they could ever give" - Michael Runion
What should I say? I guess the biggest inspiration for this video, as you may guess, was the song itself. The moment I heard it for the first time, I had already fallen in love with it.
Watching the original music video along to it, was moving, heartbreaking, and yet so inspiring. I immediately had to think of NANA. There are some scenes that are so strikingly similar in the 'Never Enough' music video and the Anime, that it is almost surreal. There were many times while I was editing this, where I was thinking: 'That can't be, this is a too perfect match.'
I had a lot of fun working on this, yet it was also quite stressful, due to me having to work 50 hour weeks for the past month. I struggled hard to finish it in time, and still having it the way I wanted it to be, and I think it was worth it in the end.
I really wanted to touch people's heart with this video, as well as let some of my own experience flow into it. Nana's and Hachi's friendship is so strong, and yet it is never enough. It's an endless cycle of loving and hurting, when in fact all you want to do is be close to that person. And that, I think, is something very tragic, and worth every second of thought and time put into. I hope you'll take something with you of this video. Hold your friends close, and never forget they will be the ones walking though life with you. Share your feelings. Don't be afraid to make the first step to apologize. Life is too short to let things come between you.
Enjoy, and thanks for watching!
~~~~~~~
As a side note, in the song, I absolutely love the tiny changes in the chorus. In the beginning it's always 'It was never enough, never enough.' Later on it changes to 'You were never enough' and in the end, probably the most heartbreaking, it concludes to 'We were never enough.' OH GOD, I COULD BAWL WITH THIS SONG, JJAMZ IS SO AMAZING! Oh, and by the way, the blonde short haired girl (that represents Nana in the video) is the singer of the song, Z. :D
~~~~~~
Many thanks to Jazzy, who dragged me into this contest, even though I didn't want to at first, haha. I am sure I'd have been too lazy to create something like this otherwise, though, so I appreciate it. I hope you'll like it *hearts* Thanks as well to Amy, Siny, Pauli and Zane for their help and beta-testing skills. And everyone who kept me company while I was bitching about my stupid programs torturing me, mostly Fidelity people. Love you *hugs* Last but not least my Mero Hero, who's just generally awesome even though I rarely have time to chat.
Now, that's enough, all information is in the video. :) Main Song: Never Enough by JJAMZ Intro song is from the Nana OST and is called Koi Suru Hachi.信義」Gonna be Me [KyokoxUsui Crossover]xAnicsi2012-04-29 | Finally Sunday, and I have a day off! I'm so sorry I haven't been around much, but I'm so busy with work T__T Next Tuesday is actually a national Holiday here, and I have to work fml.
Anyway, I re-watched this the other day and I thought I could upload it again. I'm a little proud of it because it was only me second MMV ever, so I like it, despite the song xD I'm not really a big cross-over fan, but this video was a challenge, as well as fun. I edited it back then for the Magic Manga Beta Battle Tournament, second round, and the theme was cross-over pairings. I picked Kyoko from Skip Beat and Usui from Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama.
There is actually a story behind this. The girl is the same in all the pictures, even though she has different hair styles xD Kyoko is heartbroken after being taken advantage of quite a few times. Usui is in the same school as her and she catches his eye, she's so lively when she's with others. They become friends eventually, even though she doesn't do to well with boys, and he helps her to move on.
However, when Usui makes a move on her, Kyoko is really shocked. She thought he had understood she didn't want any relationship, or even think about it.
After the fight, they're both lonely and sad about not seeing each other. Kyoko recalls all the memories with Usui, and that in fact, he had never done anything to upset or betray her. One day, Usui waits for Kyoko outside her apartment. A totally cheesy and tearful make-up, yaaaay, and later when they're talking over the phone, Kyoko tells Usui to meet later and... dududuunnn HAPPY END! xDDD
lol Enjoy!

So, uhm, I started this like two years ago. It was supposed to be a present for some people whose birthdays were in Spring, but I couldn't finish it in time, and I was stuck with nearly 2 minutes and no inspiration. I recently looked at the beta again, and I should probably thank Siny for making me finish it *hearts* It took me some time, especially because my style has just changed a lot from back then and it seemed really hard to adapt. Thanks a bunch to everyone who helped me, especially Amy, God girl, you're so amazing *squeezes*
I want to dedicate it to all the people born in Spring, such an awesome time of the year, and I know you all deserve so much more, but I hope you'll still be happy about it ^^ Soo, this is for Jazzy, Juu, Zane, Angel, Esther and Justin. Oh and Talz and Amy, because I was forced to. lol jk jk ILU ALL YOU'RE SO AWESOME AND MY INSPIRATION AND MY CHERRIES ON TOP OF THE CAKE *hugglesh all of you*
I know I used too much EF, blame it on the prettyness and my love for yuuko, but seriously, I even tried to follow a storyline with the anime I used more than once to make it not random, so. I TRIED, OKAY? Beware of cherryblossoms, sunshine, feathers, raindrops and snowflakes, flowy hair and generally too much cheesyness. ENJOY xx

Canto III - Inferno - DANTE ALIGHIERI
INTRODUCTION: Heyho people :) Sooo, you might be wondering OMG what is this huge long-ass video?!? Uhm, so I was sneaky and didn't write in the title that it was my third MEP Collection.
I worked really hard on this one, but I know that many people don't watch MEP Collections because they are so long and only have MEP parts anyway. So I wanted to make it a bit more interesting, especially when I found that I have like 70 MEP parts and only a few of them are already in my collections.
This is different from my usual MEP collections, it's a fluent video without any interruptions. You can find ALL THE ANIME AND SONGS IN THE CREDITS, so please don't ask or mention any of them, I already got a strike for the collab I uploaded last.
You will have to pause because the credits go really fast, but the video was already very long.
CONCEPT: Basically I had a rather specific image in mind, especially for the intro, but also for the MEP in general. It has all got to do something with fighting, struggling, loss, trying to protect the ones you love while committing sins, because there is no other way.
I won't go into detail with the intro, because it is really complex, and I am pretty sure nobody will be able to tell exactly what I had in mind, anyway haha. But I am really curious, so just go ahead and tell me what you think the concept of the video was. It's a basic thought, but it branches out into many strands of their own. You might have to rewatch the intro a couple of times with and without reading the text. GO AHEAD, DON'T BE SHY xD
I am also happy about knowing which parts you liked the most :3
The title has been stolen from Kalafina and a song by the Bright Eyes, because I adore the song, and the lyrics fit, in a way. Also, Conor Oberst is a fucking genius and everyone who hasn't listened to his music should go and do so right now. RIGHT. NOW. (After watching the video xp)
PS: Thanks to Siny, who pitched the song for me, and Justin, who endured an hour rant of the theme I had in mind for the intro and whether or not it was understandable and actually made any sense, or only did so in my head xD

I still remember the first time I talked to Moo about the idea and then I visited Mero and we decided to make a it a collab of three and listened to the song all day (in between for your entertainment, that is xD I'll reupload that collab once I get it properly pitched).
so sub her because she's totally kick-ass and awesome and we love her very much *hugs* I'm a bit sad we never get to talk anymore, but I hope that'll change again. LOVE YOUUUU, enjoy the reupload :)

Another reupload, sry guys, too busy for something new... (And god, my description makes me blush, I sound like a 13 year old or something *facepalms* LOL)
~~~~~~
Oh my god. FREAKING finally. x.x Maybe I should explain that I can be just as stubborn as Final Cut (it kept crashing about 1000 times in the past hour) and I swore to myself I would finish this project TODAY (well, tonight lol).
So, here I am, 6 hours of masking later (yeah, today only xD), at 4:20 am and so relieved I AM FINALLY DONE WITH IT!!
DEDICATION ~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, before my rant goes on:
http://www.youtube.com/user/aoisenshi9 Happy Birthday, Lori-chan :3 I actually wanted to make a Tamaharu tribute for you, but i was just so busy and so I decided to dedicate this video to you I have worked on for the past weeks. You said you were looking forward to my Ranka & Alto video, so this might be a good substitue, even if it wasn't explicitely 'planned' for you. However, I really tried hard (too hard maybe .-.) to finish it in time (I failed) and put a lot of love and effort into it. I really hope you like it. *huggles*
WORK ~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, basically I thought: O.O Omg, that's the perfect song for Ranka & Alto when I heard it for the first time.
When I came up with the idea I thought about entering this to a convention contest, now I am not sure anymore lol It was pretty hard work, masking KILLED me this time, the two seconds at 2:57 took me about 10 hours. No joke.
http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/6286/bild2.png krhzasjknd ò.ó
A reason why I don't like masking is that I am a perfectionist. I REALLY am. So things that seem ridicilously small to other people: I'll fix them over and over again and I am never satisfied xD So be happy not to be like me, this is the worst lol
So, anyway, I beg you to tell me if there's still something that bothers you, so I can fix it and maybe enter it to the contest lol Maybe xD
STORY ~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, the story is pretty simple, I guess (hope?) everyone will understand it xD Briefly it is about Ranka, who finds in Alto a good friend, someone she can always rely on and turn to. He is the only one who can make her feel better whenever she feels depressed or is haunted by fragments of her memories. As time passes by, she realizes that she has fallen in love with him and is encouraged that he reciprocates her feelings, in all those little moments they share. But just when she finally believes to have found the right one, her 'Real Life Fairytale', and decides to confess to him, she sees him together with Sheryl. Feeling betrayed and lonesome, Ranka understands that she was never able to really get through to him, that her songs never reached Alto's heart. Even though he was the one, she wished to reach so badly.
She decides to leave for the sake of her memories, leaving Alto behind. In the end... well, watch it xD

That song always brings back memories.
I don't really remember when I noticed just how perfect this song would be for the Anime. But the lines 'my hero crying, as we stood out there in the cold', 'that smile I lost, well I found somehow' - 'you still live on in my father's eyes' - just scream Tamaki and Haruhi and so I had to use it.
I think the theme of the video is pretty obvious. Both, Tamaki and Haruhi, lost their mothers somehow, and they're struggling with this loss, each in their own way. Even though they are so different, there is this one thread that connects them, and in the end, they might be able to give each other comfort. I really love that aspect of the story.
Hope you like it ~
On a different note; sorry for being so busy. I really have hardly time to come online or edit or even sleep, and it'll stay like that for another two weeks. Hopefully i'll get a breather after that. Wish me luck for my entrance exams on the 14th of February.

Favorite quotes by favorite people:
Brendon: 'I'm gonna get naked, is that cool?'
Ryan: 'Maybe it was a bad idea. Because my guitar wasn't so bad after all. But I hated it that night, so I burned it alive.'
On my last account I wrote a huge-ass description about how much I love Panic! and all of the members, and why I love their music and just how awesome they are -- but in fact I don't think I really need to.
Those close to me know that Panic! At the Disco is my favorite band EVER, just how Pretty. Odd. is my favorite album EVER made, and I swear I will love it until the day I die. It is creative and amazing, beautiful and sad and happy and magical and just so goddamn PERFECT, that I just have no words to describe how much I adore it. I'd love to decorate my whole room just with things from Pretty. Odd. and I'd probably smile every time I walk into it (who knows, I might even do that).
Well, this video was a birthday present for Siny, and I hope it shows just how deep my love for this band runs. It's sadly not that much footage or pictures apart from a few music videos because they were so bad quality. This is in fact a Ryden tribute (which is, well, Ryan (the ex-guitarist and lyricist) plus Brendon (the leadsinger), who, as many fans believe, might have had some sort or relationship in the past. (Listen to Hurricane, proof is all in there! 'Oh I confess, I confess, to the rumor of us.' dududunnn). They just have such great chemistry!
Even so, I love Spencer and Jon just the same, and everyone else who has been involved with my favorite band in the past and has helped them to live their dream and continue to do such great music.
I truly, truly, sincerely hope that one day the four of them will get back together to make music again. This would probably make me the happiest person in the world, and I'll be there to witness it, no matter which country I have to go to! I love you, boys!
LET'S REINVENT LOVE!!!

I. [UAS] Northern Cross http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtQqAnykVjQ It was hard to match the lyrics for this one, but I think I managed pretty well in the end. PPIOED is such a beautiful movie, I love it!
II. //FSS// Life is Beautiful http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqZ3WspBZeo This will be one of my favorite things in the world until the day I die. I love it so much. It's beautiful and sad and just so full of emotion and feeling, and I am so very, very proud of everyone in this MEP. I really beat myself up over this, I think I started from scratch 3 times for this part until I was satisfied and even then I constantly changed things. Beautifully beautiful song and video. If you haven't watched it, you haven't lived yet.
III. [AS] Before it's too Late http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuFAoeye-C0 Ohhh, I remember this well. We wanted to do an Anniversary MEP on last notice. I suggested the song and everyone did their parts in like a day or two. It's really pretty.
IV. [Pre-pa] Universe On Paper No link Sadly that MEP was deleted along with the channel. Such a shame, because it was pretty awesome. The part nearly killed me, effects are just not for me. I'm really proud of the way it came out, though. :)
V. [AS] Sakasama No Chou http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9qjq76h6zc Yet another Angelic Serenade MEP, yayyyy. I made this at my grandma's place xDD LOL I still remember, it was one of my first and I was afraid it'd suck xD The lyrics fit really well btw!!

VII. //FSS// Broken Inside http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6nmrTM-SB8 Yet again one of my favorite MEPs ever. It's haunting and emotional and so very unique and just... so AWESOME! FSS kicks ass ;D (And ofc, the song (Broken Iris, I love you so much!) suits Knk so well!)
VIII. [AS/FSS] Sleepwalker (for Amy and Moo) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkAuztdE6S0 I sort of really love this part (and the MEP, too! Dark bishie MEP *wiggles eyebrows*). It's kanayuu, which is a plus, and it's an awesome song, another plus, and well, idk, I just like it xDD Kaname, y u so hot, unghhhh.
XI. [AS] Find A Way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp12GWFMbas Christmas MEP, yayyyy. I love this one. So much. Thanks to Helena again for giving me half of her track. I'm just mad that the MEP is blocked in Germany T___T but then again, what isn't? *sigh* Oh well, I loved working on it, too. KnK snow sequences are so pretty, hehe.
XII. //FSS// Broken Inside http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6nmrTM-SB8 See above. You just HAVE to watch Kigeki (Comedy). It's a short film, only like 10 minutes long, but it's STUNNING.
XIV. [AS] Run Devil Run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhbB2WtBwXc Effects!! OMG. Sweat, can you feel it? It was so fucking hot when I edited this part, I was over at Moo's place and we were dying in her room working simultaneously on our parts. But I like how it came out, sort of badass lol xD

Just reuploading my first MEP collection from like.. uh 2 years ago, pretty much.
I. Skip Beat! Megamix No link available omggg, me doing effects??? What was wrong with me? I think that was the first upbeat-effecty part I ever edited. And I'm proud of it! Thanks to my twin moo-chan who helped me with the 3D in the end.
II. [AS] One Day MEP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-984pnJ0DDk Aww, my first MEP with Angelic Serenade!! (right?) I was so afraid it wouldn't be good enough, haha. Simple, but I like it. The song's pretty :3
III. [UAS] Comatose MEP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAUn5i-FNps I love this MEP. So much. It was my first Studio MEP (and probably my first one ever?) And well, the song's just epic.
IV. //FSS// Here With Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qW4H96iTOg4 My first FallenSkies MEP. Everyone did such a great job and the song's so beautiful. I sort of think that MEP is magical, it's hard to explain. It's entrancing. I really love it!
V. Breaking Benjamin Megamix MEP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I93BXLHabHU (Ungh, the song fits C.C. and Lulu so well. God, I love it) First MEP I hosted and it nearly killed me.

VII. //FSS// Waiting For The World To Fall http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUUIKnzGVa4 First Big FSS project.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!「信義」Chain Of MemoriesxAnicsi2011-12-12 | Reupload (I might get a strike for this, enjoy it while you can) ------------ Otakon Finalist 2010 (Romance/Sentimental)
edit - 01.04.2011 I... don't really know what to say. I want to thank everyone for leaving such kind and lovely comments on this video, even after such a long time. It means a lot to me that you are sharing your feelings about this video, or personal experiences you've made. Be sure that I read them all and try to reply to most of them. This video is so important to me, that's why I also value every of the comments i receive even more than usual. Thank you.
--------- Original Description 03.02.2010
First of all I want to thank everyone who congratulated me to my birthday the day before yesterday. I was actually a bit depressed, but your lovely wishes and above all the two amazing gifts I received, cheered me up! Thank you, I love you all so much and I am so happy to have met you guys. Also everyone who didn't congratulate me: Don't worry about it, you couldn't possibly know when my birthday was, so it's alright ^^
This video is probably the most personal amv I will ever make. One of the reasons for me being a bit down is actually related to this video. It is dedicated to a very dear friend of mine, Patty, whose birthday it was yesterday. (yeah, only one day after me :3)
I know that she will never watch this video, nor will I tell her that I made it for her. I don't even know why I am writing this down here, probably it is my way of expressing my feelings, since I know I won't be able to keep it all inside.
When I heard this wonderful song for the first time, it felt like I was listening to our story. I cried countless tears over this song and this video, since it makes me realize how wrong everything went. I met Patty when I spent a school year abroad in Venezuela. We only got to spend some months together, but from the first moment on I felt like we had known each other our whole life, and I knew we shared a certain bond. She is one of the most important persons in my life, and I love her so much. As my best friend, my sister and my 'amiga de alma', my soulmate.
During this time in Venezuela I felt like without her... I would simply disappear and I know she felt the same way about me. I had a really, really hard time there, but she gave me strength. I don't know what would have been if I hadn't met her back then. But everything comes to an end... The day I had to leave her on the airport... The day I returned to Germany and left her behind... was one of the worst days of my life. I had never cried that much in my whole life and it tore me apart.
Almost three years have passed since this day. She also came to Germany for one year, and we spent our 18th birthday together. It was wonderful, and so good to see her again. But ever since then I have had the feeling that we are chasing each other, unable to let go. But on the other hand I know there's no way it could be like it was before. She lives on the other side of the world, this is not a distance you can cross easily. It hurts so much that I don't know when I will see her again. It hurts so much that I can't be part of her life anymore, at least not how it used to be. In the end... I am bound by the memories I have of the time we spent together. I haven't talked to her in months. I know, I should call her. I know, I should write her and let her know how much she means to me. But I know I can't take it... only writing this description is so hard for me, I probably would burst into tears as soon as I hear her voice, just like on the first day back in Germany.I guess she was able to move on. Even if she still thinks of me as a good friend and someone she cherishes deeply... She probably doesn't feel as desperate as I do when thinking of her.
The concept of this video was nothing more than my feelings, this song, and the title I gave it. I believe 'Chain of Memories' fits very well. Not only to the song or 5 centimeters per second, but also to me. I don't know if I will ever be able to let go, but maybe this video helps me to make up my mind a bit.
Anyway, I don't care wether you read the description or wether you don't. After all it is a very personal matter. Just enjoy the video!

It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know that growing up goes slow"
~*~
I didn't really think I'd muster up the energy to edit anything at all this year, but I've been in love with this song for a while, and I just felt like I needed to put it into... well, not words obviously, but a video.
I am dedicating this to everyone who can relate to the truth this song holds. It is about the struggles of youth and adulthood, about growing up, but still being bound to home in a way. It's not like someday you're just an adult, it's a process that needs time, and I, at 21, often find myself thinking that I am not mature at all.
There are moments where I'd just like to go back in time, where I am childish and moping around, and all these problems that are building up around me make me sick to my stomach, and I just wished I wasn't an adult already. That I could bask in the naiveté and security of childhood and push all my worries away, because - let's face it - our time as kids is the most untroubled we'll ever have.
Even so, I know it is not possible, so I just allow myself to be sad and miserable when I need it, to be snappy to my family and act as the daughter that I am - because, the song names it, growing up goes slow. And nobody can expect us to make a change too fast.
I chose the Anime, because, firstly, I am in love with it, and I can relate to it a lot and it will just forever be one of my favorite shows. Secondly, because it is mature and realistic, and the characters are all standing at that step between youth and adulthood. Thus, it is pretty much perfect. There isn't much of a concept behind it, other than the song, and how they all try to deal with their problems. Each of the girls has a different color for her memories, though.
Anyway, I hope you like it, and it might give you some comfort when you feel like everything is just going too fast - you're not alone in thinking that, and one day you'll be grown up and struggle with different problems, but that will also be okay. We just need to take each step at a time in our lives.

LYRICS:
Today, I'm gonna write a sad song
Gonna make it really long
So that everyone can see
That I'm very unhappy
I wish I wasn't always wrong
I wish it wasn't always my fault
The finger that you're pointing
Has knocked me on my knees
And all you need to know is
I'm so sorry, it's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know that growing up goes slow
I wonder what my mom and dad would say
If I told them that I cry each day
It's hard enough to live so far away
I wish it wasn't always cold
I wish I wasn't always alone
When the party is over,
How will I get home?
And all you need to know is
I'm so sorry, it's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know that growing up goes slow

I want to thank everyone involved in it once more for the hard work you all put into it. It turned out so incredibly beautiful and it'll forever be in my heart.
Animes and parts are in the credits. I helped out a bit with Erica's (RemlicAMVs) and Maje's (Dinaimajestic) parts, because life's a bitch and they couldn't finish their parts beyond the first betas.
Enjoy it ~

P.S: Yet another different thumbnail. Fuck you, YT, I loved all my old thumbnails, why do you have to take even that from me???

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DANI!!
I know, it's just another lame re-upload, and I'm sorry for that. I really don't have any time to make new stuff right now, so I thought the least I could do for your birthday was to re-upload the video I made for you back then.
It's not quite Christmas yet, but I still hope you enjoy it as much as you did two years ago. Oh God, how time runs, it's insane, really.
I love you, sweetie, lots of hugs and sparkles and rainbows and kitties for you :) You'll forever be my favorite Hachikoooooo *fondles her doggy* lol
Have a sweet day on Saturday, I'll be thinking of you :3
