inFAMOUS: Pays To Be Me Spazzlings 2014-02-03 | inFAMOUS: Second Sons Film ContestFor our entry, we created a conduit with the ability to read neural activity and view people's memories by simply touching them. With a power so subtle and unnoticeable, the conduit is then able to steal any information of his choosing - including financial information. In a world where the DUP is hunting conduits - it's dangerous to be different. But it pays to be him.

Spazzlings 2013-10-28 | ═══T H E • 2 0 1 3 • G M V • A W A R D S ════Throughout the years, the GMV community has done so much to broaden the concept of "Crossover". It is a much practiced style in our community, and often results in compelling and beautiful pieces of work! This category is dedicated to editors who have created a Crossover Video sometime in the 2013 year that they believe exceeds expectations. It crosses boundaries and blurs the lines between worlds, making characters and stories their own, and inevitably making the audience believe that what is not real, is real.A Crossover is a video involving a minimum of two different characters from two different games, but can often have multiple games and characters involved. These characters then interact to make a completely new world and story - but the trick is to make it believable!Do you think you have what it takes?• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •How to enter?- PM your entry to the Head Judge and Co Head Judge: Head Judge: SpazzlingsCo-Head Judge: Blooddragon668When you PM us, we will tell you that we have received your entry in a response and we will then add it to the Crossover Entries Playlist found here:http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9p6_u0ZhjvxHX0_CowNJ6Oe6kmrFecEQ• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •CATEGORY RULES• Your video must between 30 seconds and 7 minutes long• You can use any editing software• The video must be your own work.

[REUPLOAD] Living Legacy Spazzlings 2013-09-10 | [REUPLOADED] due to glitches randomly induced from Youtube. This video and a few other WMVs of mine were perfectly fine when I uploaded them, but out of nowhere they developed horrible, grainy glitches. So I am reuploading them until YT figures itself out. //ACHIEVEMENTS//- Best Video in SoYouThinkYouCanVid Season 3's Instrumental Round- 1st Place in the Emotions Category of the 2012 GMV Awards- Premiered at the Fan Produced Videos Panel @ Baltimore Otakon 2013

V | Soulmate(s) Spazzlings 2013-07-31 | GMV AWARDS - CANON ENTRYWith this video, I was really trying to capture this idea that Cloud holds Aerith and Zack (individually and as a couple) on a pedestal. To him, they are the prime example of how life should be led - free and brave and honestly. So when Marlene asks him what he thinks a soulmate, they are the first people to come to mind. Because in my opinion, Zack and Aerith had an extremely rare and beautiful relationship. They understood eachother - pushed eachother to be better - and loved deeply. That's the canon I wanted to portray in this video.I also believe it holds true to the canon of the FFVII story. Zack and Aerith's relationship is evident in Crisis Core, and it's obvious from the way Cloud can't forget them or forgive himself for their deaths that they meant so much to him. And in the end, Zack and Aerith change him forever. They help him grow in life and after their own deaths. AWARDS:Entrant #5 | GMV BBT: Emotions[UPDATE] Won 2nd in the GMV BBT: Emotions Round![a/n] I finally gathered up enough freaking time in my life to freaking finish something. It's a freaking miracle! -dances- Seriously, I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. I've missed other editor's updates and other people's beautiful new videos, and I feel like I've missed loads!! Life is crazy. Simply said.But it was the emotions round, and I couldn't resist. I also couldn't resist using this audio, even though I'm pretty sure everyone and their mother used it a few months ago. Oh well. XD It was fun. I honestly don't know how I feel about the finished product just yet 'cause I think I've been looking at it too long... so hopefully you guys enjoy it. ALSO - I still intend to do one of the suggestions from the "Drop Me a Line" video and the comments ya'll left.

FFVII | Hall of Fame Spazzlings 2013-05-23 | I'm really sorry it's so short, guys. It's a WIP, so hopefully I'll get around to finishing it soon... But I really wanted to finish and post this part. It's small and it's nothing special, but it's important to me. I heard this song a few days ago and it really connected with some things I'm going through right now. Long story short, it really reminded me of all the wonderful people in my life. Even though I doubt the things I want for myself sometimes, my friends and family are always right there to tell me that I can do it. That means so much to me, and this particular song reminded me of that. So this is dedicated to them, the men and women of my life to listen to me sympathetically, support me passionately, and stick with me constantly. To those friends I text when work gets ridiculous and to my family who hears it all. To the people who randomly send me really kind words about my work and to the people who say they get inspired from what I do. To the people who make me feel important and strong; I want you to know that you are just as important and strong.Thank you so much, you are all so very, very important to me.I really cannot express that enough.

Like, I think I've stared at it too long. Hours. Lots of hours. Too many. But finally it is done. I chose Sherlock because I wanted to work with a medium I had yet to use in the competition this far. There isn't much more to say about it. It really focuses on the relationships and psychological twists of the show. Yup.But seriously, guys. This is it. I honestly can't believe I am submitting my final entry. This journey has been so long and I never would have guessed it would lead to here - but I don't regret a thing. It has been an honor to compete against such amazing editors and to learn from such amazing hosts. Looking back, I really just can't believe it. I'm so happy to have had a chance to participate.I want to thank all of you guys - every single one of you. Thank you so much for your support, patience, and kind words throughout this long journey. I couldn't have done it without you.

[Sherlock] Dancing with Devils Spazzlings 2013-01-25 | Contains spoilers for the last episode of the second season of Sherlock. I think it's been out long enough that I don't really need to worry about saying this, but I'll say it just in case.So this is dedicated to Doylie and Eliza, both of whom said I would love Sherlock and pushed for me to watch it. It took ages, but they finally won - and they were right, it's a gloriously wonderful show. So I dedicate this video to them. It took me forever, but that means I haven't been hanging on this season 2 cliff hanger for as long as most, so you win some you lose some. Also dedicated to MissValerieTanner because her Resident Evil video she edited to with the same song inspired me to create this. So thank you, you lovely muse. Go watch her beautiful video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClJfZuu1AZk I started this video when I was looped up on some super strong cold meds, so if it doesn't make sense - it's probably because it doesn't make sense. I was focusing mostly on movement, and then after a while I don't even know what I was focusing on anymore, haha! Enjoy!-Spazzlings

This round's challenge: create a video to persuade someone who has never even heard of your fandom to watch/play it.Also entered in the GMV Awards - "You haven't seen anything yet."[a/n] I know I probably say this every time, but man this round was haaard, lol. It's been forever and a half since I've made a trailer, and picking out what movie/game, etc. I would edit with was so, so difficult. I must have made several different projects before finally my best friend suggested Heavy Rain, and I just couldn't resist.So yep! Heavy Rain. Seriously, people, if you haven't played it yet YOU NEED TO. I really tried to make it play out like a movie trailer, and hopefully that's what it feels like.A HUGE ROUND OF THANKS TO MY BETA TESTERS: OnlyDoyle, CapnRaye, and ARFIDY-ARF-ARF (who suggested Heavy Rain in the first place).And man, I am so, so, so nervous!

I am absolutely in fangirl!love with Buddy (the male character in this video).In one short movie, he squirmed his way quite high onto my favorite characters list for Resident Evil. So I had to edit with him, it just had to be done. This video was supposed to be longer, but for what I have in mind, this song won't work. So expect the full version but with a different song at a later date. :)Anyways, I'll explain what's going on more when the video is finalized and up. Until then, enjoy this beta. And go watch the movie, just for Buddy. Cause I love him. Leon's awesome, too. You should see it for him, too. Haha.SONG: Hospital by LydiaFOOTAGE: Resident Evil Damnation and Final Fantasy XIII

Hopefully they're gone now. TT.TTThis may have been one of the longest projects I've ever undertaken. It took me roughly two or three weeks to complete, probably more. With work and traveling, it was hard to find time. Judges, thank you SO MUCH for granting everyone that extension. It was a God-send for me, truly. All in all, I'm rather nervous with my entry. I'm proud of it, but nervous. I thought I would return to my roots for the first time in the entire competition, and edit with FFVII:ACC. I just have so many final fantasy feels, haha! It was really hard choosing audio, because I really wanted to use ALL THE AUDIO, lol. But yeah. It focuses on Cloud, the sins he thought he'd never be able to be free of, the things he was already forgiven for, and the people - both past and present - who love him. Yup.SONG: "Truth"ARTIST: BalmorheaFOOTAGE: FFVII: ACCEDITOR: SpazzlingsAUDIO: Steve Burton (Cloud's voice actor) in General HospitalEnding Audio:"You know when another person needs you, counts on you - everything is different.

[SYTYCV] Wish You Loved Me Spazzlings 2012-04-30 | EDIT: Made it to the next round and this video won an Honorable Mention for Overall Presentation! WOOT!"So who the hell was that back there--who is she?""Just an old flame.""Yeah, she looks old," she says bitterly."It's you I love, baby, with all my heart," the Spirit says."Yeah, me and every other woman you meet."--------------------------------------------------------------------------------¬-------------------Judge's Note:I had a lot of trouble trying to navigate the concept of "paradox" and what would or would not end up being considered one. So I broke down the idea to it's base level and here was my rational for this:This video is a paradox at two levels. For one, the actual tone of the movie "The Spirit" is action and comedy. Everything in the film is fast paced and light hearted. At one point, the Spirit literally gets attacked with a toilet. The film isn't serious. Even his disloyalty is taken to be more of an amiably feature, sort of trying to make it charming or "oh-you" about the fact that he flirts shamelessly with every woman he sees. His relationship with Ellen is one of the closest time they breach any sort of serious topic, but even when she has the above conversation with Spirit, she ends up smiling at the end, amused. However, before the Spirit became who he was, he was a cop who was assumed to have died in the line of duty and was engaged to Ellen. So throughout the movie, despite their "relationship", she has to watch him flirt with anything and everything is evident. I wanted to contrast the film by showing the pain in a much more thorough way as compared to her just sort of trying to accept that "boys will be boys". So that's Paradox #1 - showing the pain that she was in as she comes to somewhat "accept" that the Spirit just will never change. The other is that, as said before, the film is action focused and comedic. It's all Zip, Bang, BOP!, Thwack! I contrasted this mood by using a song that was slow, sad, and emotional. The opposite of action/comedy. Thus, Paradox 2. I'm really hoping this hits that paradox concept this round was asking for! ___________________________________________________________________Song: Nicest ThingArtist: Kate NashFootage: The Spirit

Victims become gripped by a severe allergic reaction to water. A new city is established—the Aquagenic-Mortis Rehabilitation City (A.R.C.)—to contain and protect the infected. Nearly thirty years later, people begin to disappear. A.R.C.-born citizens and possible carriers of an evolving strand of DNA could be the cure to end the disease. People like Noah. Now it's up to him, one of few immune to the disease, to find out the truth behind A.R.C. and the dark web of scandals that serve as its foundation.Chapter 1 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-1.htmlChapter 2 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-2.htmlChapter 3 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-3.htmlChapter 4 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-4.htmlChapter 5 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-5.htmlChapter 6 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-6.htmlChapter 7 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-7.htmlChapter 8 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-8.htmlChapter 9 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-9.htmlChapter 10 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-10.htmlChapter 11 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-11.htmlChapter 12 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-12.htmlChapter 13 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-13.htmlChapter 14 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-14.htmlChapter 15 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-15.htmlChapter 16 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-16.htmlChapter 17 - http://arc2012.weebly.com/chapter-17.html
[ME3 Spoilers] Over Your Hill Spazzlings 2012-03-20 | I only ever have had one Commander Shepard. I can't make multiple Shepards. To me, there is only one Shepard. My Shepard...I can't play with any other skin. I adore this Shepard too much. Which is what explains the absolutely horrible footage quality here---sorry, guys. I used my Roxio to get footage of my Shep, 'cause if I was gonna edit with any Shep, it was gonna be mine---but I don't have an HD tv in my room, so the quality during the data transfer was horrendous. And in B&W. So yeah... Anyways, I love the ME series and it took me WAY too long to finally try it. I've fallen head over heels with the plot, the characters, the everything... I'm not going to talk endings here, 'cause that'll take forever. There were things I ADORED about ME3 and things I didn't, like any game.But I just HAD to edit with my Shepard. He was paragon!Shep and his story just broke my heart. ME3 shattered me many times (Mordin! Legion! ALL MY CREYS!) but it made me so, so happy, too. Bioware did an absolutely breathtaking job at capturing the turmoil of war. Kudos to them. So yeah...took me forever to settle on a song to use. But ta-da, ME3 tribute. It's nothing super special, but I like how it turned out.[song] After The Storm[artist] Mumford & Sons[footage] ME3 w/ my Shepard[editor] Spazzlings[program] Sony Vegas 8 Pro[time] Roughly One Day
[PES] To Feel at Home Spazzlings 2012-02-05 | This was my piece in the PES WORM. To see the full thing, click the below link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C39qGeb6sgQ&feature=g-u-u&context=G2208d3cFUAAAAAAAMAAThis is a small bit of a longer video that I have yet to finish. It focuses on Vincent's immortality, and the fact that everyone he knows, befriends and loves will never be around as long as he will. He returns to the places he once loved, imagines the people he lost and sits in the dust covered places of his past lives.[SONG] To Build a Home[ARTIST] The Cinematic Orchestra[FOOTAGE] FFVII!ACC & DoC[PROGRAM] Sony Vegas Pro 8PS: ...I realize that the very first line of lyrics is wrong.

[SYTYCV] You Know How to Find Me Spazzlings 2012-01-10 | EDIT: This entry made it to the next round of SYTYCV!!! HUZAAAAH!"You know how to find me; you know what you have to do."So I'm definitely more than a little nervous about this round. This is precisely how far I made it in the last season of SYTYCV, so editing this had my stomach in knots. I think I might've started at least 4 other projects before finally settling on this one and still I feel like I could've done better. Not that I don't like how this came out, I just don't feel overly confident about it, I guess... I don't know. I find myself wondering if I should have used more audio, or something, but I like how much is in it now. I think I'm over-thinking it. Anyways, here is my entry. No effects. No colors. No zooms. Nothing. Not even two tracks. Just editing and flow. Internal Movement. I'm going to post it up for a while before submitting it as an entry, since the deadline has been extended. See what you guys think so I can fix anything that super much needs fixing. So let me know. Wish me luck.-SpazzlingsSong - unknown (sorry)Judges Note - 4 renders later, I think I fixed the glitches. I have no idea why a few frames from other scenes randomly would appear in the middle or end of some of my clips (it wasn't me forgetting to trim it, I went back an looked second by second. It only appears after the video is rendered. I even rerendered after trimming the clips, sometimes it would appear, sometimes not. It had something to do with a glitch in the program, not untrimmed clips) but I think it's better now. I hope it is, at least...
Happy Holidays, From Spazzy! [2011] Spazzlings 2011-12-26 | Oh my Lord, the world MUST be ending because I ACTUALLY COMPLETED A CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE THIS YEAR! HU-FREAKING-ZAH!!!!! It's late, but if it makes up for anything, I started two or three days ahead of Christmas and spent all day today fighting vegas to render this. But it's up and I figure it's better late than never. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and here's to a fantastic upcoming New Year (where hopefully I shall edit more than I did last year!). Let it be said that there is no particular order of friendship in this video. The order was selected based off of where I thought each pairing would work best with the song. :) I LOVE YOU ALL EQUALLY! PAIRING - RECIPIENT IchigoxRukia - Feranelia YunaxCloud - FetaVideos YunaxGabranth - Flaring7 AquaxZack - EvilMeRC8 Balthier Tribute - OnlyDoylie CloudxLightning - Minaspassion RinoaxSquall - DivinityCreations EzioxCristina - KristyNVB95 NoctisxLynne - WittyWeasley LightningxDrake - CapnRaye DeanxAerith - KuroiNoctis Merry Christmas, my dear, dear friends. I'm sorry that some (as in a lot) of the masks are pretty lame. Some are even cookie cutter (I know, don't look at me like that!). But I put lots of my love into this. I hope it still makes you all smile. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! -Spazzy

It's about developing a story that weaves two or more characters together and then, given their personalities, shows the audience what they would do and how they would react to each other were they ever in the same world, face to face. In this part of the competition, we are looking for the editor who has mastered the art of taking a bunch of things that were not originally together, and weaves them into the same story, under the same sky.

[SPOILERS] Uncharted 3: Violet Hill - DrakexElena Spazzlings 2011-11-04 | [CAUTION, THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR UNCHARTED 3: DRAKE'S DECEPTION] Song: Violet Hill Artist: Coldplay Pairing: DrakexElena Footage: Uncharted 3 & 2 [Editor's Note] Well, after working on my SYTYCV entry for nearly a month solid, I really just wanted to edit something stress free and simple. I just beat Uncharted 3 today and I loved this scene, so I couldn't resist. It's not my best video, but I enjoyed making it. Super short, not complicated and very relaxing. I hope you guys enjoy. -Spazzlings PS: A huge thank you to everyone who has commented and shown support on the "We are People" video. Your comments have been touching and I'm so, so glad you guys like the video. Thank you so much.
[SYTYCV] We Are People Spazzlings 2011-10-28 | [EDIT 01/15/12] "We Are People" has won 4 awards in Round 10 of the Creative Junkyard Awards! It won Best Editing, Best Story-vid, Best Drama, and Best Special Effects! :D [EDIT 12/6/11] Made it through to the next round of STYCV! Thanks for all the support, guys! :) "We are Hate, Fear, Hope---People." An Entry for SYTYCV Season 3 Group: Hate, Fear, Hope The purpose of this round in the contest was to portray the emotions of "hate, fear and hope". A few people have been upset about how some things used in the video are used out of context. This is merely an analysis on Humanity. The things, after weeks of looking around, that stood out to me connected to those emotions. It is not against any religion, person, creed or ethnicity. You do not have to be American to understand it, nor is it a political message. It is an analysis. About Humanity. [EDITORS NOTE] A huge, overwhelming thank you to OnlyDoylie, CapnRaye, KuroiNoctis, Feranelia, WittyWeasley and Flaring7. I couldn't have done it without your support and help, thank you for beta-ing me and for everything! You guys are wonderful!
Final Creed II: In My Veins [BETA] Spazzlings 2011-09-18 | [EDIT] I've postponed working on Final Creed until after Revelations comes out. I'm thinking there might be new footage that will be useful. So hopefully within a few days of Revelations, this will be done. Sorry for the wait! ______________________________________________ Yep, only a beta. Sorry guys! The beginning and ending to this video are completed, I just have to finish up the middle and it'll be ready for your viewing pleasure. In case anyone is wondering, this is the sequel, not the prologue, of Final Creed. There is a prologue (the story of how Altair & Tifa met, why she left and Altair's sacrifice for her) but this is video, the sequel, is what directly happens after the first Final Creed video. As you can tell, this opening scene is almost exactly what happens at the end of the first video. In a neat way, it shows how much things have changed since I made Final Creed, years ago. So yeah, I leave you with this small offering and hopefully I'll have the rest of it completed soon! Enjoy, my friends! And if you don't know what Final Creed is, go watch my first installment here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X93e8b868_Y PS: Any tips/suggestions for improving the beta are appreciated! Thanks!

Oh my GOD I've never had so much trouble rendering OR getting Youtube to upload. Took nearly an hour for Youtube ALONE. Goodness... 2. A big, big, BIG thank you to Mina, my collaborator, who very patiently worked with me even though my schedule, due to various circumstances, was crazy as poo. Thank you so much. Your support was comforting and your patience put me at ease. 3. You know what's awesome? Getting the chance to edit with one of the most awesome people and editors ever, that's what!

[SYTYCV3] Audition Package Spazzlings 2011-08-13 | EDIT: SR Finalist! Cherry Tree Hate in the Heart; Love in the Mind ____________________________________________________________ Judges' Note: ____________________________________________________________ Youtube is a butt and due to copyright problems, my original Audition Package had it's audio blocked and all that jazz. Your website said to make a video with text directing you guys to a Download Link, so below you can find said link: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20667630/SYTYCV+3+Audition.wmv PLEASE let me know if the link doesn't work or if something is wrong the file. Thanks Cherry Tree - Hate in the Heart; Love in the Mind ____________________________________________________________ Special Thanks to OnlyDoylie, CapnRaye, KuroiNoctis, Minaspassion and Kristynvb95! You guys were a major help! It was really hard picking, particularly since a lot of the suggestions were older pieces, but you guys did agree on a lot of the same pieces, too (like The Way Back) so all in all, you really influenced my decisions and helped me a lot! Each video was chosen for a reason and below you can find out which ones I used and why. 1.) The Way Back - because it's one of my personal favorites and it's one of my better flow and color videos. And text...even though the lyrics are wrong. Heh heh. 2.) RE Diaspora - Act 2; Leon's Funeral - because it's one of my strongest pieces masking and storytelling wise. 3.) Upwards Over the Mountain - because it's one of my strongest masking pieces and because of the color transitions and overall focus on development of relationships with the FF fandom. 4.) inFAMOUS Downfall - because it's one of my strongest RAW editing pieces and has nice flow. And it's a different type of footage. 5.) This Night - because it's actually happy and proves I can do more than depressing, moody story lines, haha! And I like it's colors and masks. 6.) Credits/Intro - A good recap of what I usually focus on and my stories. Wish me luck! I'll need it! -crosses fingers- -Spazzlings Small note; the visuals at the pick up are actually bits from the package in the download.
Happy LMS-tastic Birthday, Doylie! Spazzlings 2011-08-03 | Happy Birthday from the whole LMS crew, Doylie! Including from you, too! Haha!The lovely Kuroinoctis came up with the brilliant idea of having the LMS group reunite for a special birthday MEP for Doylie, but no LMS MEP would be the same without our lovely leading lady, so Kuroinoctis cunningly found a way to trick Doylie into joining! Doylie, while you thought you were editing to sub in for a spot in one of Kuroi's other groups, you were working with us to give yourself an awesome birthday all along! Because these last few days Kuroi was going to be away from the computer, she asked me to render everything up so the MEP would be on time, but make no mistake, the lovely miss Kuroinoctis was the HUGE leading force in this MEP and without her, it couldn't be possible. A big round of awesome thanks to Kuroi, for being our awesome, cunning leader! Seriously, she's awesome. Also, a big round of applause for all of the LMS crew that was able to make it back for this MEP! It has been a pleasure working with you guys again and I know Doylie will love this. Hopefully we'll be working together again, soon!So anyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOYLIE, from all the LMS staff.

Trinity [BBT vs Raye] Spazzlings 2011-06-20 | SONG CHALLENGED: Dawn by Poets of the Fall COLOR SCHEME: "The color of the moon even in waxing or waning, or hidden behind clouds, it still shows the same once uncovered, and even after setting and raising to the sky." I don't really know how I feel about this piece. Not my best, not my worst. Just...kind of exists. I'll probably take this video down after the results for the first round goes through. Oh well...sorry guys. On a lighter note, either Final Creed II or the next installment of Diaspora should be coming out soon! Hu-zaah! -Spazzlings
The Way Back Spazzlings 2011-06-13 | Could it be? Did Spazzy start something and then finish it?! It's a miracle!!!

I absolutely adore Ezio Oldytore and the fact that my most favorite character, ALTAIR, is coming back!!! Hu-zaah again! A special thanks to the following people: Kristynvb95 In short, this video would not have been possible without you, my friend, tu sei il mio eroe! But besides that, thank you for sharing your love of Assassin's Creed and the Italian language with me. Mi piace parlare con te, la mia amica. Grazie! & Kennikish Your comment on my page really inspired me and I'm thinking about you, too. Seriously, thanks. It was just the motivation I needed to get something done.

The Last Horizon; Terra & Aqua Spazzlings 2011-01-04 | CONTAINS BIRTH BY SLEEP SPOILERS! You've been warned. Though this warning was probably more helpful when the description was to the right, instead of below and nearly out of sight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Sweeter would be the death, if my eyes had last horizon as your faceand if so---a thousand times I would be born to die, a thousand times, even.With your image and your love---though absent---you are presentevery hour, because you cannot go away. Over the limit of my thoughts,and I am with them every hour, they are with you."-William Shakespeare------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I just beat Terra and Aqua's stories in BBS (I dunno if I'll ever get around to Ven...I sort didn't play it for him though he wasn't as annoying as I thought he'd be) and I absolutely love it.. It was a pleasant surprise that BBS was good after FFXIII sucked so hard. But anyways, I just finished the other night and I now have a new pairing that I absolutely ADORE. Terra and Aqua are made of win. And I could babble on and on about how much I love them and Terra and their story but Youtube has a character limit of fail, so I'll move on. Basically, this took forever and I was really caught on whether or not to make it longer. So I have this short version and if people think it's good as is, I'll leave it. If people want more, I might finish up the other half. Yes, half. I like the idea of the other half but I don't know how to end half of the other half, if that makes sense. Lol! And expect more Terra Aqua vids.

Hero/Heroine [Dedicated to Mina] Spazzlings 2010-12-31 | So originally I had this huge Christmas Project planned where I was going to make all of my closest friends and inspirations here on the tube videos. However, between finals, christmas shopping and helping out at home once I got home (which also involved a lot of driving and a wedding) I just didn't end up having as much time as I thought I did. Which sucked.But I did finish a few, which I will be posting, and I WILL still be making the rest. Eventually... So they'll come. I won't say now who is getting videos. I already have my list planned and a lot of the projects are already started.SO THIS VIDEO IS DEDICATED TO THE ONE AND ONLY MINASPASSION!!!Because Mina, you inspire me so much that I just had to. :D Seriously, your videos never cease to rivet me to my seat and always push me to strive for more in my own work as well. I wanted to thank you.And apologize that this video has SO MUCH CHROMA KEYER FAIL in it. Sorry... This was one of the first ones I made, so I was a bit pushed for time.

Thanks, Rukia [Dedicated to Fera] Spazzlings 2010-12-31 | Warning!: Spoilers for the 400 chapters of Bleach....I honestly don't remember which chapters these are anymore... But yeah. Spoilers.So originally I had this huge Christmas Project planned where I was going to make all of my closest friends and inspirations here on the tube videos. However, between finals, christmas shopping and helping out at home once I got home (which also involved a lot of driving and a wedding) I just didn't end up having as much time as I thought I did. Which sucked.But I did finish a few, which I will be posting, and I WILL still be making the rest. Eventually... So they'll come. I won't say now who is getting videos. I already have my list planned and a lot of the projects are already started.SO THIS VIDEO IS DEDICATED TO THE ONE AND ONLY FERANELIA!Fera, I want to thank you for being awesome. Your videos are one of those videos that when they hit my sub box, my heart stops. You always deliver absolute gorgeousness in your work, and it always blows me away. You inspire me to improve in my own work constantly and I couldn't thank you more for that. You are one of the things that fuel my desire to learn about editing, and improve. To craft my story-telling to a peak and set it out. Your work is just pure fire for me. So beautiful.So thank you. Thank you so much. I figured I would express this appreciation by doing something that you totally inspired me to do!For one, I've never edited with Bleach. XD So please forgive my noob-ness with the clips. And two, your ability to edit with Manga made me want to craft my ability to edit it with it to. I love trying new things and your work gave me yet another push in my experience. This was a joy to make, and truly I hope you enjoy it. Thank you again, Fera, and I hope that your Christmas was as awesome as you and that you have a happy new year! -SpazzlingsMerry Christmas Fera!
[Merry Christmas!] This Night; CloudxTifa Spazzlings 2010-12-25 | Merry Christmas, i miei amici! Man, oh man...I had something so much more EPIC planned for Christmas. But then finals happened, so I figured I'd have plenty of time AFTER finals...and then there was a wedding, so I was like, AFTER the wedding...and then there was Christmas Shopping and helping out at my Mom's school, so then it was the day before the day before Christmas and I finally realized....I was so not gonna be able to finish.SO I had to go with plan B. A small video that everyone can enjoy. The problem with that is not everyone enjoys the same thing! So I tried to go with something MOST would enjoy (sorry Wicked, I know you don't like Tifa.) and I figured CloudxTifa fit the bill.I had loads of fun editing this in the end, and I absolutely love this song. And I made fluff for ya'll. Yup, fluff. That's how much I love you.I still plan on making my closest friends their own videos. Partly because two (other than the two I already posted for my Housemates) are already done and partly because the rest are already started. But either way, they will eventually happen! -headdesk- I didn't expect my break to be so...busy. Either way, I hope you're holidays (no matter what or when you celebrate) are fantastic and filled with all the warmest wishes you could imagine. Enjoy, be at peace and be safe!Love,SpazzlingsSong: Bring Me To YouArtist: Joshua RadinMedia: FFVII:ACCMERRY CHRISTMAS!
Dastans Wish Spazzlings 2010-12-23 | This is a little do-dah that I promised FOREVER and a half ago to my housemate. And she's never let me live it down, either. So for Christmas I finally finished it. So here you go, m'dear, you present is finally done! ...and yes, Code Monkey is coming. Eventually. XP Merry Christmas!

Life to the Maximus Spazzlings 2010-12-13 | This Christmas I'm [TRYING] to make a video for all my closest friends. The others will all be released on the same day (I've got a plan) but I was just way too excited to wait to give this one. This is for my housemate, Cheeko. She had to move away this year and we miss her so much. We had before Finals dinner the other night and it was super obvious, so I was trying to think of a good gift to give her. For anyone who doesn't know, Cheeks was pretty close with my dog, Max. She'd sit in her Computer Chair and let him wheel her around the house sometimes. When she was working, he was usually chilling out in her papasan chair. So I figured this would work as a good gift. The footage was all graciously given to me by the one and only Doylie who took all this footage herself. Half of it is taken with an HD camera for one of her SMAD projects. That's basically all the really nice grassy scenes with the bubbles. AND THEN, cheeks, when I was editing this last night...IT SNOWED! So we grabbed Max, the flip-camera and went at it. So the bubbles were from the beginning of the semester and the snow is from the end. We miss ya, girlie! Merry Christmas, Cheeks! -Spazzlings Song: Beautiful Day Artist: U2 Footage: Thank you, OnlyDoylie! Dedicated to: Cheeko PS: The title is actually the title of a book or blog I want to write about Max. :D Hopefully I'll get around to it soon.

It is a video that does not use effects to hold the audience's attention. Only the original footage is used. Timing is a big part of this and most (but not all) of these videos usually focus on the tempo, lyrics or beats of their selected song. It's about internal movement and using what the clips give you. • A RAW video is a video that [does not use] the following: - Effects - Major Zooms - Color Manipulation/Gradients - Textures - Overlays - Masks or Cookie Cutters - Fancy Transitioning - Text • What is ALLOWED: - Fades in/out from black -Minor zooms (you may also zoom in to get past logos/watermarks, which I recommend) -Minor speed up or slow down -Reverse -Minor white flashes (not a substitute for effects, use wisely.) - Basic Transitions - Audio Bites (from whatever footage you are using) -You may have an Introduction or Outro that includes effects, but that should be the only place, if at all, that effects are present. All types of videos are accepted (crossover, story, character study, game overview, etc so long as it is a [music video]. • An EXAMPLE of a RAW video would be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1dHkAYusPo • An EXAMPLE of a video with EFFECTS would be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DStHneGUJyk Both are amazing, but the one with effects should be submitted to the EFFECTS ROUND of the GMV Awards being hosted by Innachan.

15 Seconds With Cloud Strife Spazzlings 2010-10-30 | So last night, my housemate and I were lounging on the couch waiting for Doylie to finish work so I could go pick her up, and there was NOTHING ON. So we were skimming channels that we don't normally skim (basically anything past channel 100 because there are just too many channels otherwise) and we passed General Hospital. So I was like: "Dude, that's General Hospital. I don't remember his name but Cloud's voice actor is a big character in that. People use audio bites from this show for him all the time." My friend then looked at me with wonder, "REALLY?!" "Yes." So we watched without watching...Oddly, this is possible. We literally watched the screen without paying attention unless Cloud was on. (he doesn't talk much on this show, either, sadly. Or at least this episode) I mean, at one point someone randomly got hit in the head with a glass vase and we were both like O.O Whoa, wait, I missed something. So yeah. Enjoyable. ANYWAYS. A commercial came on for...citrical? Something like that and it was 15 seconds with different actors. Steve Burton was one of them and my friend looks at me once its done and was like "YOU WILL EDIT THIS". So I did. Enjoy it, my friend! And friends. I hope you guys find it as funny as we did. -Spazzy PS: HALLOWEEN IS ON ITS WAY AND ITS LIKE THE BEST HOLIDAY EVER! ENJOY IT!!!!! -spazzy is so excited-
Always Upward [FFVII:ACC] Spazzlings 2010-10-25 | EDIT: Entry for MRP Auditions -- Option 1I'mViddingIt ID: Spazzlings_____________________________________________________________________________________I chose this video for my audition because, of all my work, it's probably my favorite. I absolutely loved making every second of this video. I wouldn't say it's my absolute strongest video, but it's the one I probably loved making the most. It also showcases a lot of what my style as an editor is about. Storytelling, masking, colors, flow. This is the sort of work I enjoy doing and I think it represents my work as an editor well._____________________________________________________________________________________1. - Since when did you know MemoRised Pictures?I've known about MRP for a while now--seen the group's work in the past. I couldn't honestly tell you exactly when I first found out about them, but they are one of those groups that sit in the back of my head with the lingering question of "what should I expect to see next?" The type of group that keeps you guessing.2. - Why do you want to join MRP? (Name at least 2 reasons)For one, I admire the people in MRP. They are editors that admire, trust and have worked with in the past. I have good experiences with them and I admire their ability. My other reason is that MRP looks like the kind of group that would be professional while still being friendly and fun. The MEPs/Projects wouldn't just be "ideas" but things everyone equally works on and things that actually end up on youtube as compared to groups I've been in the past that have good, creative intentions but end up falling through and leaving you with work you did, but no way to showcase or use it. For a long while now I've wanted to be apart of a group again, but I'm looking for a group of driven individuals. A group that won't fall apart in a few weeks.3. - What kind of footage do you usually use? (you can also tell us sth about your editing style)Game footage, mostly, though I'm open with TV/Movie footage also. I don't have much experience with 2-D work, though. My style mostly deals with masking, flow and storytelling. 4. - Why do you enjoy editing/what do you like most about it? I enjoy editing because I enjoy telling stories, for one, and because I like creating something that someone else can enjoy. I like making something inspiring, something that can bring a smile to someone else's face or emotion to their heart. All in all, when you get right down to it, editing is a form of art. Art is something that spans farther than words, time or many other things---but still conveys so much. I just...I don't know, I just know that I enjoy editing. I enjoy trying to learn new styles, work with new footage and I enjoy pushing myself to meet up to the expectations of a good challenge. _____________________________________________________________________________________EDIT: Won a Judge's Award in Creative Junkie Awards.http://cja.rightsiders.com/r7awards.htmlLet's rewind back to the 18th, shall we? Yes? Fantastic. It is now October 18th, so happy Clerith Day! Fail.Yeah, I meant to do something for Clerith Day. Doesn't help that I started [on] Clerith Day, but it is what it is. Actually, it's good that I started afterwards because this is more Cloud Day than Clerith Day and as far as I know there isn't a Cloud Day so we'll just call this one of my crazy videos and call it a day...no pun intended. Lies. I intended it.So this video...I love and hate. There are parts of it that I adore how they came out and yet sometimes when I look at it I wrinkle my nose. Other times, I smile. Overall, I'm satisfied because it was extremely fun and liberating to edit. I find Cloud's story to be inspiring, so I really enjoyed playing around with his clips and the what ifs and had beens. On another note, I'm not going to tell you what the moral of this video is. Originally I had intended to. But as time passed and I fleshed out the video, I realized that I shouldn't. I want you to see what you see, not what I see for you. And there are things that I do want to say. Things that I hope you'll find. But I won't. I just hope you find something.This is dedicated to everyone. All of you. If you are watching this, it is dedicated to you. You all never cease to strive me forward and for that I can never show you enough gratitude. It's [you]... You inspire me. So, Thank you. Truly you've touched my life.[VIDEO INFORMATION]Song: Upward Over The MountainArtist: Iron and WinePairing: Clerith and CloudxTifaFootage: Final Fantasy VII ACC, Dirge of Cerberus, and Crisis Core.Program: Sony Vegas 8 Pro
Diaspora Act 2: Leons Funeral Spazzlings 2010-09-19 | Diaspora Act 2: Leon's Funeral After the death of his Co-Leader and long time friend, Chris was beginning to truly feel the strain of his mission. Hope was fading. Watching Leon in the grass, dead and cold, reminded Chris what the cost of failure was. What the cost of his ill-leadership was. Chris Redfield, leader of the Rebels, didn't know what to do. That's when they came. A few days prior, Chris had received a message from a strange faction saying that they wished to help. They had a way to save the infected, and with help, the world. Chris was less than convinced, but with everything that had happened and the huge blow the Rebels had taken with Leon's death, he agreed to meet them. To hear them out. The woman in pink was obviously once of the people described in the message. The leader of that organization had said she was special--a human who could channel the spirit of the planet--and that she could help. She kneeled down beside Chris and said, "Everyone's waiting, if you're ready," and Chris couldn't think of anything else to do but step aside. In the doorway were three people. In the forefront, a strange woman in clothing he had only seen in movies and in the back, two men in SOLDIER uniforms, straight from the ShinRa line. Chris had heard of experiments that escaped from ShinRa--that rebelled against Wesker--and he thought for just a moment that if these were the same people, then maybe they weren't the only ones left in this world. Zack, the leader of the other faction, walked up to him and extended his hand. Chris took it. That's when she started dancing, the strange woman, and Zack explained that Aerith and Yuna were performing a special ceremony. That they were "Summoners" and that at a certain time in their lives, they had to decide whether or not they believed in light or darkness. Aerith had chosen Gaia. Yuna had not yet come to that choice in her walk as a Summoner, but both could perform the special ritual that would heal the infected nearby--those who were not yet taken over, but still ill with the virus. With Leon's soul, they opened up a path to Gaia, releasing cleansing water from the bottom of the church. Claire, enraged that Chris would so readily trust their friend and her fiancee to strangers, stormed off. Chris didn't stop her, but couldn't hold her gaze either. Together, the two Summoners brought forth a well of water that Leon seeped deep into. Pyreflies from the LifeStream surrounded them, and the water cleansed the group of survivors they had managed to protect. Hope was lifting as a dear comrade was returned to the Planet. Chris felt a new surge of life soar within him. There is hope. _____________________________Author's Note_____________________________ This took forever. But finally it's done. I understand that this description can't give you all the information you want, but if you wish to know more I do have a site with more information about the characters and such. You can find it here: http://spazzlings.weebly.com Thank you all for being so patient with me! I know my past few videos haven't been up to par to what I normally attempt, but I finally got off my butt and started masking again! And man, it was refreshing to get into my old vibe again! I really hope you like it. Up next is Diaspora Act 3: The War, and I also have a revamped version of Final Creed 2 coming, so keep your eyes open. Hopefully it won't take me forever this time!

[ICw/Doylie] Grow - Chris & Sheva Spazzlings 2010-09-03 | Uh, this was actually done about a week ago. Doylie and I both got back from Summer Vacation and were lamenting about editor's block when we decided to randomly IC. The challenge? Finish. Though I think she did another, more complicated challenge. Anyways, I pick Chris and Sheva. Because I honestly don't edit pairings enough when it comes to Resident Evil. So I hope you like it. Its super simple and sort of self explanatory. On another note, for those of you wondering why I've been uploading little videos lately (I may have addressed this before) I just haven't been able to sit down lately and think when it comes to more complicated story oriented videos. HOWEVER, I bring good news. The next video of Diaspora is almost done. I've said that before but I'm serious now. It has about 30 or 40 seconds left of footage left to place before I can do a last run through for mask mistakes and post it. So keep an eye out, that should be going up soon and hopefully that'll get me hooked to masking again. We'll see. So wish me luck! XD AND GO CHECK OUT DOYLIE'S VIDEO BECAUSE IT IS 100 PERCENT BETTER THAN MINE! FOR SERIOUS! GO NOW! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ3J6lZHD_w -Spazzlings
