Never Split the Party AMV | Kumoricon 2019 Battle Royale (LOST) Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2019-12-08 | Here is version 2.0, for your viewing pleasure: youtu.be/K0MSzfRKrg0 I competed in Battle Royale last month against my friends DopplerDo and Vancore. After defending the title for two years, I was finally defeated by DopplerDo, who produced an awesome video! Our theme was "Dungeons and Dragons," and my secret source was the skeleton dude in the bookstore (I can't remember the name of the anime. Lol). We had an hour and a half to edit a video in front of a live audience. This was the result. Enjoy!Please check out Doppler's winning video: youtube.com/watch?v=LuQ9OlkP9ocI'll share Vancore's video when he uploads it. In the mean time, here is his channel: youtube.com/channel/UC7MWxKpr2GwMstSeZ9qQG_Q

Heartdance AMV | AWA Pro 2020 - Best Sentimental Finalist Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2020-12-26 | For my special someone this holiday season, I present my ninth Otaku Lounge Productions video. I planned to create this video as a Christmas gift these past sixth months, and AWA Pro 2020 happened to coincide with the holiday. I'll admit I was hoping for a Best Romance category, but there weren't enough submissions this year, so romance entries had to compete in Best Sentimental. Regardless, I'm thrilled with the results. I hope you and your loved ones have a lovely holiday season!
Iron Bond AMV | Happy Holidays! Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2020-12-24 | I'm pleased to share my eighth Otaku Lounge Productions project, one of two submissions to AWA Pro 2020. The second video will be released on Christmas Day. Dubstep isn't my forte, so some sections of this song were challenging to edit, but I enjoyed the process regardless. Enjoy!

Up in Smoke MMV | AWA Pro 2019 Finalist in Best Drama, Best Technical, & Best Artistic Endeavor Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2019-11-09 | Kumoricon 2019 - Fan Fiction FinalistI'm proud to share my fifth Otaku Lounge Productions video, Up in Smoke, which I started a year ago. It began as an exploration of trauma from nearly a decade ago, and then became a vent of sorts when I faced multiple deaths earlier this year. Everyone copes with trauma differently, myself included. Black backgrounds represent isolation. Even the colored scenes with live action backgrounds are muted, with the characters occupying small corners of the screen (isolation in spite of company). I'm proud of the result, and grateful that it helped me navigate my own experiences. You never know what someone else is going through, or what they've overcome, and I hope this video brings comfort to those who need it.

Uhtred FMV | The Last Kingdom Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2019-06-15 | I edited this for practice back in December, and shelved it with all of my other test videos.

I encourage you to check out The Last Kingdom, if you haven't already. Beware of spoilers.

When I first began editing, I worked with manga and fanart. So, I decided to go back to my roots, and work on a mmv project. Enjoy!
Snackstreet Boys AMV | Sakura Con 2019 Iron Editor (LOST) Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2019-04-23 | Kumoricon 2019 - Guilty Pleasures FinalistThis was a two hour edit in front of a live audience. Iron Editor contests are judged based on how well a video fits the theme, editing/creativity, and use of the secret source. After defeating six editors at conventions across the west coast and completing my infinity gauntlet, I (Thanos) was finally defeated by Avenger Sean at SC 2019. The judges felt that Sean better utilized the secret source footage (AOT). Here is Sean's video: youtu.be/NKkTXpcMrY8Thanks to everyone who came out to support us.

Mr. Magic Man AMV | Kumoricon AMV Battle Royale 2018 (WON) Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2018-10-29 | Hi everyone! I competed in Battle Royale this weekend. The theme was "Magic and Mayhem," and my secret source was Pop Team Epic. We had two hours to edit a video in front of a live audience. Due to technical difficulties, I had to throw in random clips from my secret source footage (with 6 minutes left on the clock). After returning home, I placed all of the Pop Team Epic clips into a new timeline so it could render, and then set my phone's timer for a little over six minutes like the contest. Here's what I came up with for those Pop Team Epic scenes in six minutes (from 2:15-2:18). It took four minutes just to comb through the footage, but at least the scenes are coherent now. Lol Enjoy!Here is an alternative version without Pop Team Epic: drive.google.com/open?id=1Pd1RAo_IiamWHivm2EW4HR42HuAFjoq2
Protege FMV | AWA Pro 2018 Finalist in Best Storytelling & Best Character Profile Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2018-09-25 | Youmacon 2018 Fan Art Theater FinalistThis is my first project under Otaku Lounge Productions, and I couldn't be happier with my first premiere. This project is near and dear to my heart. Not only does it feature my favorite song, but one of my favorite American cartoons, too. I relate to Shiro's character more than anyone else, and I wanted to highlight his relationship with the Paladins, as well as his place on the team. My intentions for Shiro and Keith were rigorously debated during the blind contest reviews (romantic vs brotherly), but I'd like to think that the themes are much broader than that. Keith leads Shiro to the Paladins, making him whole. My intentions were as simple as that. That's what you do when you care about someone, you protect them.Special thanks to my studio-mates, Rider4z and Tigrin, for helping me clean up this video after the contest. You're the best!

Legends Never Die AMV | Anime Expo 2018 AMV Chef (WON) Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2018-07-12 | I competed against my friend Ryan (King Redeem) in AMV Chef over the weekend at Anime Expo. We had two hours to edit a video to the theme "superheroes" with a special secret source. Here is Ryan's video: youtube.com/watch?v=AyqQTj42UDEHere's the competition intro that Victoria (Rider4z) created, revealing the secret source: youtube.com/watch?v=QmxLFvVTiMEIf you'd like to see our live reaction to Victoria's intro (along with the audience), you'll find that here: youtube.com/watch?v=NJRnYKm9I8c&t=35s
Crossover AMV | Sakura Con 2018 Iron Editor (WON) Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2018-04-08 | Kumoricon 2018 Fan Fiction FinalistAnime Expo 2018 Honorable MentionThis was a two hour edit in front of a live audience. Here's a description of the contest: animemusicvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=129068Iron Editor contests are judged based on how well a video fits the theme, editing/creativity, and use of the secret source. Rider4z is widely regarded as one of the strongest IE competitors for her fast-form editing and experience. I knew I'd have to try something different if I wanted to win. The biggest "DON'T" I hear in Iron Editor is creating stories. So, I decided to do what everyone says not to. Lol If the story worked, my edit would stand out as unique. If it didn't work, back to the drawing board. This video was the result. Rider4z's video stood out for theme and use of the secret source while mine shone for creativity. I'm really proud of what we both created. Here is her video: youtube.com/watch?v=YUXeJ7miaxEAnd here's the contest intro, edited by our friend Ryan: youtube.com/watch?v=AQ3UT4knVgQ

You Suck AMV | Kumoricon AMV Battle Royale 2017 (WON) [Anime Los Angeles 2018 - Comedy Finalist] Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2017-10-30 | I attended Kumoricon this weekend and competed in a live AMV battle against two other editors. If I'm able to find links to their videos, I'll add them here (they were excellent!). Here is DopplerDo's video: youtube.com/watch?v=xlStRFsZ6L0And Scotty's video: youtube.com/watch?v=lnPap9EEF_kWe had to edit a video in two hours in front of an audience; the theme was "get your head in the game," so the footage was sports related. This is what I came up with... minus the rendering glitches (went back and re-rendered the glitch-y scenes this morning). I plan to rework this video as an entry for other conventions. I'll probably reduce the number of shows and include manips, so expect to see an alternative version of this in the future. Enjoy!Program: FCPXEditing Time: 2 hours

This is Your Heart AMV | Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood ᵈᵉᵈᶦᶜᵃᵗᶦᵒᶰ Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2016-11-07 | This one is dedicated to Victoria (Rider4z) for her encouragement and input as a beta on a previous project. Many of you know that I like to edit "thank you" videos, but this one came about in an unusual way. I'd started an edit with this tune several months before AX, then scrapped it since Rider made an incredible video for the con (watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=KVSA4bGdm1U). When debating what music to use, it occurred to me that I could redo/finish this old project since I already knew she liked the song.lol And tada! Edit complete.Well, maybe not that smoothly. I really struggled with the choruses, and, in fact, I'm still not satisfied with them. My style just doesn't seem to suit them, but I digress.

Keep track of your images, so we can post links to all of the artists.

❝ＥＭＰＴＹ❞ | Guren Ichinose AMV [ONS] ᵈᵉᵈᶦᶜᵃᵗᶦᵒᶰ Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2016-08-02 | For those that don't know, Guren is my favorite character from ONS, so I'm thrilled to share that I'll cosplay him at ALA in January. This edit is dedicated to my cosplay group, as we take on ONS at the convention;) I've been meaning to add finishing touches to this edit since Anime Expo, but perhaps the timing turned out perfect for a cosplay announcement. Enjoy!
Anime Expo 2016 - 19 Days Cosplay Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2016-07-13 | Here's a compilation of our Day 2 shenanigans. It's basically us walking around and being silly. Only a couple of people recognized our cosplay (or perhaps other people didn't say anything). I'll upload the general vlog for the entire weekend once I've had the chance to go through all of the footage. And a special shout out to those of you I met in the amv room each day. You guys were the best! Enjoy!
ɯɐəɹp ɥʇɐəp | 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2016-06-06 | I started editing this several months ago and planned to upload a week later, but I completely forgot about it until now. Better late than never:) The intent of this edit was to use my old videos, my favorites creations, and highlight those projects in a new way. I wanted to focus on dreams and fleeting memories (aka: the past five years I've been uploading to this channel). For "something new" I made kaleidoscopic images with my old edits. PS: This likely won't be the last time I use this song. I have a few edits in mind;) Hope you enjoy it!F A N Z A M (Tasha's trilogy)Facebook: facebook.com/fanzam.trilogyTwitter: twitter.com/TashaLivingsYoutube: You are here.
ＦＡＭＩＬＹ | The Originals [3x21] Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2016-05-15 | Spoilers for 3x21 if you haven't seen it yet. I've never edited with TO, though I basically watch everything on the CW. This episode really upset me, which I wasn't expecting (even knowing what happens at the end). So I decided to make a quick edit/vent. Nothing special. I wasn't going to bother uploading it, but I figured some of you might get feels from it ;______; -crawls away-

ＦＯＲ ＢＬＵＥ ＳＫＩＥＳ. [Star Wars: TFA] Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2016-04-11 | I recommend tissues for this one, particularly if his death upsets you. I've wanted to edit with this footage since I first saw the film, so I waited until the dvd came out for HD quality. Then I struggled to actually edit anything because all of the videos I planned to work on are really sad. Although I've used this song several times before, I think the lyrics fit it perfectly (in an eerie way). Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy it! I have virtual tissues if you need them;(Dedicated to: This video goes to Florian (xXxFLOjumper96xXx), who loves these characters as much as I do:) I enjoy interacting with you here on Youtube as well as Twitter, and I hope you get lots of feels from this edit.lol TAKE THE FEELS.

❝ＲＵＢＩⓀ Ｓ ＣＵＢＥ❞ | k project AMV [2000+] Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2016-03-31 | "Tʜɪs ɪs ᴍʏ Rᴜʙɪᴋ's ᴄᴜʙᴇ. I ᴋɴᴏᴡ I ᴄᴀɴ ғɪɢᴜʀᴇ ɪᴛ ᴏᴜᴛ."Let me begin by saying how grateful I am for all of you, and the joy we share in film. Writing and teaching are my passions, but video editing is an extension of my writing in some ways, particularly when anime characters remind me of my own. I really wanted to delve deep in this edit and get back to my favorite editing style, which is relatively raw. I hope you enjoy this edit, even if you're unfamiliar with K.Also, I wanted to wish a very happy birthday to Kai (hydrazoite). She's been unbelievably supportive over the years and I value our friendship. I hope you had a wonderful day, dear;)youtube.com/user/hydrazoiteyoutube.com/user/hydrazoiteyoutube.com/user/hydrazoiteF A N Z A M (Tasha's trilogy)Facebook: facebook.com/fanzam.trilogyTwitter: twitter.com/TashaLivingsYoutube: You are here.
ᴄᴀᴘᴛᴀɪɴ ᴄʜᴀʀʟᴇs ᴠᴀɴᴇ.【+3x09】• SPOILERS Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2016-03-23 | I'm heartbroken, guys. My favorite character on television died, and even facing such a horrible death, he was so dignified. Zach McGowan's acting was incredible. I don't even know what to say about it, really. I guess I'm in shock. Vane always managed to get in and out of trouble, and I was so sure that someone would save him. It just destroyed me. If you're looking for a new show to watch, I highly recommend Black Sails (if you're old enough!). I own the dvd's and I watch it each week on Showtime. The story telling is unbelievable and the characters are brilliant. Hats off to the writers for that. And RIP Vane, you were one hell of a character.
ＲＥＳＣＵＥ ＭＥ. [Full AMV] Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2016-03-21 | If you've seen the previous version of this video, you'll notice that several things are different. I altered the coloring to my traditional blue/purple pallet, removed voiceovers (for contest purposes), and extended the length of the edit itself. I still recommend tissues, though ;_______; Apologies in advance for the feels.
❝ＨＥＬＬＯ❞ | k project AMV [1900+] Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2016-01-24 | NOTE: SEASON 2 SPOILERS!!!What can I say? This is one of my favorite anime. Not only because it reminds me of my own books/characters, but the story never ceases to move me. And it's a plus that my top two pairings are basically canon, and you can't convince me otherwise. Heck, Munakata DAYDREAMS about Mikoto and hears his VOICE even after he's deceased. The subtext isn't exactly subtle. And don't even get me started on Yata and Fushimi. Bahaa! Fushimi abandoned the reds because he was JEALOUS of Yata's loyalty to Mikoto, and then there's Yata who constantly blushes around Fushimi. The writers kept skirting around this stuff, but one movie and a second season later, here we are. I'm pleased with the way they ended the story, though I'm heartbroken all over again ;_______; Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this.Dedications: WeiezF, Harlequinade13, & hydrazoiteAnd special thanks to kaorusan241 for encouraging me to finish this! It almost ended up in a scrap pile because I didn't want to cut the song.lolSong: youtube.com/watch?v=c-3TJ-97FmAFootage: KProgram: FCPX
Tɪᴍᴇ ᴡɪʟʟ sʜᴏᴡ ᴛʜᴀᴛ Iʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴏɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ sɪᴅᴇ Tasha - Otaku Lounge Productions 2016-01-18 | As many of you already know, Snape is one of my favorite characters in both books and films, beyond even the HP series. And Alan's portrayal of his character always meant a lot to me. Over the last few days, I've struggled to decide what kind of tribute I wanted to make for him, and I finally went with a simple raw edit. And in this case, I think it's fitting to focus on the heart of the content, rather than visual effects. Alan will be missed.
