July, 2020 Fandom: Harry Potter Song: Look After You by The Fray Description: Happy birthday angel! This was an incredibly healing process as I repaired my relationship with the Harry Potter fandom after its author betrayed fans by preaching the exact opposite of what Harry would - love. I was absolutely destroyed by her damaging comments and essay towards the trans community. And yet, the fandom really came through for me. Fans, actors, editors, theorists... we were all on the same page. The films in particular are such a collaborative process that are made up of so many creative minds beyond any one person, and so many of them were quick to remind us what the series is about. Daniel Radcliffe's essay particularly struck home. My love of the films cannot be tainted, nor can my love for the fictional characters who hold an existence in my heart specific to me and only me. This video is about love and care. I was particularly inspired by the lines exchanged between Harry and Dumbled

July, 2020 Fandom: New Girl Song: Ironic by Alanis Morisette Description: It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just can't take And who would've thought, it figures Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you And life has a funny way of helping you out These lyrics are the epitome of the New Girl ratchet, poor, yet lovable aesthetic. Laughing at all the other vidders who appear to be also vidding as coping during the quarantine. This process was a bit of a letdown... almost an entire year since I had posted anything to my YouTube channel, finally I was ready to release something into the world, and yet it was blocked worldwide! I could have potentially uploaded it to another website, but that is far too much effort as I don't have any sort of backup accounts ready to go, and it assumes I have an audience to follow, which I do not. Maybe I should have checked that the song was o

June, 2020 Fandom: Horns (2014) Song: Wicked Game cover by James Vincent McMorrow Description: "It's strange what desire can make foolish people do" I wanted to get this out before the start of June and nearly did. I finished editing over a week prior, rendered it, and it was a glitched out mess. I rendered it an additional four times with no luck, and then what do you know, the world fell apart (as if it wasn't fallen apart already) and my mind had been too preoccupied elsewhere. I rendered this a grand total of eight times to get the final product - piecing together what went right in each individual rendering. What must have made it so difficult to render was the blending mode to layer two scenes on top of one another. This is the second time I have EVER used blending mode on PowerDirector15 (first time was when I first got the product), as it is most fitting for these slow, emotional videos, artistic. It's a nifty tool to play with, and I'm glad

April, 2020 Fandom: Cinderella (2015) & Beauty and the Beast (2017) Song: Better Days by The Goo Goo Dolls Description: I'll admit I made this whole video so I could edit together those two dance sequences. But everyone could use an optimistic song about a better future these days :) It looks like I haven't uploaded a video in OVER A YEAR which is not entirely true because I did make one a few weeks ago but it was blocked so hopefully the copyright rules around it will change in time. Before that, I was making travel vlogs for myself and dealing with a new full time job and applying to grad school. But now that it's eyy quarantine, I can get some of these out the door. I'll never quit! The year long hiatus from my YouTube channel is not entirely accurate. I had spent a good amount of time on a video prior to this that got blocked until recently. But it is true, it had been a while, and I missed it. Combination of life things like a new full-time job, grad school

April, 2019 Fandom: Chuck Song: Secrets by OneRepublic Description: I've been rewatching the show Chuck (for the millionth time), though with a family member of mine this time around. I swear, I've introduced this show to a fair amount of friends and never have they not gone and finished the whole five seasons. I love being able to experience the show through fresh eyes, remembering all of the twists and turns and big reveals. (Definitely not gonna let him watch this though, full of spoilers!!) I think what I'm most attracted to about Chuck as a premise is the double-life aspect of the story. There is so much weight riding on the secrets that he holds, that he is prevented in every way from telling his loved ones. In a double-life story setup, writers have to be reeeeally careful about when they finally do their reveals. They have to be well done, and well spaced. Can't be done too early or too often or it gets rid of the suspense. Chuck handled all of its &

February, 2019 Fandom: Harry Potter Characters: Fred and George Weasley Song: Pumpin' Blood by NONONO Description: Good ol' Gred and Forge video. There's no darkness in this, only light. There's also no death in this, only life. That's the whole point of the song, to celebrate what it is to live. My one and only Fred and George vid!! There's very limited Fred/George content, so even this short little video used quite a high percentage of their on-screen time. Therefore, I can't imagine myself making a video featuring these two ever again, but I had this particular song in my head for years as their song. I liked the irony that it's a song about being alive. I usually don't choose which vids I'm going to make directly... I have a long list of ideas and then just pick one at random. But this one I made impulsively because I was very intent on making a short video with a small amount of footage. I think my vidding mind was exhausted, and

December, 2018 Fandom: Chuck Characters: Chuck Bartowski & Sarah Walker Song: You and Me by Lifehouse Description: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I've done a Chuck/Sarah video for Christmas most years now actually, by coincidence... glad I could get this one done in time. It's been over a year since my last Chuck video and I had to get one into 2018. This is one of the most romantic songs of all time. Chuck videos are a classic for me. They are what gets me the most views/likes, and thankfully, it is what I have the most ideas for. I think people can see that I have a uniquely thorough memorization of all of the shots in this show... so whenever I make new Chuck videos, they differ from the last. I don't have to use the same shots over and over again, because I can listen to a specific lyric and immediately go, "Oh, that reminds me of that one moment, in that one episode..." and pull up a new shot in an instant knowing exactly where it is. It's a freaky ta

November, 2018 Fandom: Dancing With the Stars s27 Pairing: Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe Song: I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston Description: Team Kevanna!!! So happy they made it to the finals! They may have gotten third place, but their are the winners in my heart. They got to dance every single dance and for that I am so grateful. I've never seen this show before. I watched for Evanna and thought I would stop once she got eliminated (which never happened!) Evanna Lynch has made me want to dance again. I literally have these dances memorized by now. I've seen them so many times. I included clips from all of their scored dances, as well as their behind-the-scenes introduction video, and their intro on opening night. This video is an oddball because it's a very, very specific fandom... I wouldn't even call it a fandom, I'm just a fan all here by myself. Vidding reality TV is probably not even a thing. But I was SOO obsessed with Evanna Lynch

November, 2018 Fandom: Spiderman (The Original Sam Raimi Trilogy) Song: Human by Christina Perri Description: These are some of my favorite movies of all time, and by far my favorite superhero movies of all time. Please do not hate if you just don't prefer this iteration of spiderman. RIP Stan Lee. I did not time it this way. I finished this video yesterday morning, after countless hours of hard work. I opened twitter and... there you have it. Stan Lee was dead. I had never felt so emotional about the timing of a video I've made. I've actually been editing this on and off for several months. I got a new computer, so half of this video was edited on one computer, and half on another. It's a powerful machine and I'm really enjoying it. My old computer was sputtering out so hard that I lost all motivation to vid. It was just too slow. But now... ;) Tobey Maguire's spiderman means the absolute world to me. I would die for this character. I think what makes

July, 2018 Fandom: Friends Characters: Ross Geller and Rachel Greene Compilation of scenes Description: If you don't know the fandom... where have you been?!? Not titling this "EVERY Ross & Rachel Kiss Scene" because let's be real, the give each other friendly kisses a lot, even when not together. I tried to get all of the really romantic, pivotal "kiss on the lips" moments though. Please let me know if you want something added. I can reupload maybe once with updates, but not twice. This is totally shameless fan-girling here! Maybe one day I'll actually put effort into making a vid, but I was just going through a strong Ross/Rachel phase and wanted to put something together really quickly! Plz no copyright. Clips aren't mine. They belong to Warner Bros. The fact that this, along with my other compilation videos, are flagged for adult audiences is absolutely ridiculous. Chuck, for example, is a PG show. Friends is PG as well, isn't it??

July, 2018 Fandom: Harry Potter Characters: Ron Weasley & Hermione Granger Song: Hero by Enrique Iglesias Description: Omg such a cheesy song and yet I make myself so emotional. Reverb sucks so listen with headphones to best hear dialogue Ron may not be the hero of the Harry Potter series but he's the hero in Hermione's heart. Second video that in a row that I had made on pure impulse! This might be a bad strategy because it means I'll probably vid the same fandoms over and over again, making nice simple easy videos, and leave behind anything that might be a bit of a challenge. But who really knows, I'm just glad I made it. It had been months since my last upload (and this was becoming far too much of a pattern), after I had started my new job. I'm REALLY happy with this one though. I think it's my best Ron/Hermione video, editing-wise, and the coloring is brilliant. The voiceovers were a bit of a struggle. I tried to do a reverb to make it sound more ro

May, 2018 Multifandom (Full Emma Watson filmography 2001-2018 - films listed at the end) Song: The Fear by Lily Allen Description: Favorite actress ever. I've had a lot of female icons I've looked up to over the years. I had a huge Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana phase. Also Vanessa Hudgens/Gabriella Montez during the HSM years. However, Emma is the one that has stuck with me for 17 years now - a favorite since I was 5. Hermione Granger is my favorite female character in existence. My go-to rule is to never vid a fandom unless it's completely finished (which kills a channel btw) because then it never becomes outdated. Problem is, EW has been on an acting break for years, and will not have new movies for years to come so I think it's completely justified to make multi-EW vids as a set for this completed phase of her career. Maybe I'll make more of these. I had a mouth surgery yesterday and I just concocted this while sitting on the couch recovering. Felt very

May, 2018 Fandom: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (Part of the Harry Potter Wizarding World) Song: Blow by Kesha Description: Just from the first of the fantastic beasts series. No footage from the Crimes of Grindelwald trailer. "My philosophy is that worrying means you suffer twice" - aka I'm gonna blow everything up anyways and not think about the consequences HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE BATTLE OF HOGWARTS!! This once again goes against my policy of not vidding a fandom that isn't complete... because then we get more footage and I just want to change everything. But if I'm just vidding this as a stand-alone film, I think I'll be happy with it. I honestly can't wait until November. So I have this rule: Never vid a fandom unless it's completed. All of the most popular vids are made when something is being hyped and still in the making, but I tend to vid it months or years after the fact. It's evident in the fact that I'm still mak

March, 2018 Fandom: Skins Characters: Mini McGuinness and Alo Creevey Song: She Looks so Perfect by 5 Seconds of Summer Description: Favorite two characters from Gen 3, even before they got together (so you can imagine how happy that made me!). They've gotta be the most fun couple on the show, and the ONLY couple through seven entire seasons that got a definitive happy ending. Life update, got a full time job. How long did it take me to edit this video? This vid took very few hours of actual editing, but very many weeks of falling asleep at 8 pm and having no energy to watch tv, let alone vid. I miss it though and will keep vidding till I can't vid no more. This remains one of my most popular videos - most liked, most commented on - I still get comments to this day! I can't believe people still like this couple after all these years! Especially because it's generation 3 of Skins, which people usually skip over. AND I'm even more happy that it's well-l

January, 2018 Fandom: Swiss Army Man (2016) Song: Life in Color by OneRepublic Description: "A suicidal man teaches a dead body why life is worth living" Daniel Radcliffe will always be bae It's always fun to vid a movie you've never vidded before. Definitely a challenge and certainly makes me proud. It's also the worst way to get views :) I wish this one got a little more attention. I remember being super happy commenting on another person's video, and having them randomly comment back that they loved my "Swiss Army Man" video. I was floored. I love Daniel Radcliffe because he chooses such visually exciting movies. This is the fourth movie of his (apart from Harry Potter) that I've made a vid for. I love the editing on this one. One of my favorites I've made. Again, little to no effects - just simple editing to clips, but the clips and the music speak for themselves. And I think the coloring turned out pretty good too.

December, 2017 Fandom: Chuck Characters: Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker Song: Find a Way by SafetySuit Description: QUOTES TOWARDS THE END that are kinda hard to hear: "When you meet someone you care about, it's just hard to walk away" "Everyone keeps asking me what I'm gonna do with my future, and the truth is, I don't have a clue. All I do know is that I want you to be in it." "You and I, we're perfect for each other, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Merry christmas and happy 6,000+ subscribers!!! (I'm sure at least 90% of you are bots so happy 600+ subscribers) If anyone call tell... I just rewatched the end of season 2 of Chuck, so that's what inspired this video. Even though I use the whole series, the mood is very tense and angsty season 2-ish. The whole video was inspired by the line that I included, "I am going to get this thing out of my head one day, I will. And when I do I'm going to live t

December, 2017 Multifandom Song: Hail, Rain or Sunshine by The Script Collab hosted by GlamourStar0X Description (From GlamourStar0X): Watch in 720p :D So, this collab is for my birthday and to also celebrate 8k!!! I am so blessed to have collabed with these incredible, talented vidders. Thank you so much for joining guys, this collab is forever gonna be my go to "cheer me up" video!! it just keeps making me smile. Thank you for being a part of making my birthday special! and I am really sorry for anyone who auditioned to be in this collab but couldn't! WHO TOOK PART: Me StarsHollowProdz Momonator Olivinami Jen xenchantedqueen Missrainbowpie GlowingAprilSky YineTime Taneishaxproductions Mariedancelove SilentStorm xchuckandblairx Wow so... I didn't think I would ever do collabs. I did one a few months prior to this that was a lot more on the dl, but this was the first experience vidding with who I would consider "the pros." There are vidders I watch who I c

December, 2017 Fandom: Chuck Character: John Casey Song: Gives You Hell by The All American Rejects Description: For the Angel de la Muerte Unleash the Casey Absolute favorite show. I need to get back into practice vidding it. My first (and probably only) video focusing on the brilliant character that is John Casey! I think for that reason, I may have even tried to fit too much into one video. Some of the editing feels a bit rushed, though that also may be due to the imperfect timing. It's another non-effects video just focused on matching clips to time.

October, 2017 Fandom: Chuck Characters: Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker Song: Rivers and Roads by The Head and the Heart Description: Chuck premiered over 10 years ago. And I started watching from the Pilot. That means I've been addicted to Chuck and Sarah for over TEN YEARS. WHAT. And I haven't made a Chuck video in about 2 years, which is terrible, because Chuck got me into vidding in the first place. It's time I paid tribute to the relationship from start to finish. There's probably countless videos pairing this couple and this song (it is the song used in the last scene of the last episode of the series). This is the version I've always had in my head, for over 5 years, so I never really watched other people's Charah vids to this song, BUT if someone thinks it resembles another video too closely I will respect that and add it to the description. It's been over 10 years since this show first premiered, and over 8 years since it ended, and it s

FULL VIDEO HERE October, 2017 Fandom: Skins Character: Effy Stonem Song: Prom Queen by Molly Kate Kestner Description: For Coalition Collabs! So on the Amino app fanvidding community (RIP), somebody reached out to me and asked if I'd like to participate in a collab! I had never done one before. I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't a fan of the song or the theme, but I listened to it and thought "Yeah, why not?" I don't watch other people's collabs so it was something I never sought out. It was actually cool because I only had to vid 8 seconds, which meant they could be 8 PERFECT seconds that I could just go to town on. I actually got to use effects and play with speed and it didn't overload my computer ahaha. And then the end result was kind of fun to watch. Everyone's styles are different, but not so painfully different that the video feels wrong. One thing I will say was that my piece was not perfectly synced with the music the way I ha

September, 2017 Fandom: Beauty and the Beast (2017) Characters: Belle & Beast Song: Something Just Like This by The Chainsmokers feat. Coldplay Description: I have so many batb ideas it was hard to choose which one to do. But this was the original song I had in mind for the film. I heard it for the first time around the first time I saw the film and they just became closely associated in my heart. There was a fun irony to play with here, vidding a song about not needing a fairy tale life to a film that's a literal fairy tale. But in this adaptation, something that's very important is that it's not the glitz and glamour and magic that attract Belle and Beast to each other. In reality, they thrive best without all of that, just reading good books together. Oh god I love Emma Watson. Like I really love Emma Watson. And I love Coldplay. And Disney. And just... oh this was a childhood dream video to make. It felt almost silly. It's an old fashioned fairy tale e

August, 2017 Fandom: La La Land (2016) Characters: Mia and Sebastian Song: Someone by Kelly Clarkson Description: This song is a little ironic because it's talking about breaking up with someone, and then finding someone else that matters to you more. But what if your life's purpose is not a someONE but a someTHING? I believe that's what this whole film is about - to choose between the priority of a loved one or a loved life and career. So Mia and Sebastian will always be each other's "someone" but they lived for something else. Anyways, this is one of the best new films I've seen in a long time. One of my all time favorites. Here's another example of me really liking to play with lyrics. It's like the words say one thing, and the images say another, so you've got this visual metaphor that takes on a whole new meaning. That is one of the really special aspects of vidding. This is a song about leaving someone, hoping to find another (b

August, 2017 Fandom: Harry Potter Song: Renegades by X Ambassadors Description: Different phases of the resistance against Voldemort. First, Harry thinks he has to be alone. Then, he's joined by Ron and Hermione, the old Order of the Phoenix, and Dumbledore's Army, who all come together in the end. I have nothing but apologies for how long it's been!! I actually finished this video months ago, but submitted it for an anonymous vidshow so I couldn't upload it. Life has been incredibly busy and I miss vidding. No promises for another vid anytime soon. :( 2015 must have been the height of my channel. From 2016 onwards, my output was slowly deteriorating. From 2016 onward, I started noticing that when I uploaded a video it received no attention, because there was no anticipation. It was a two-way street - my motivation took a hit. So what happened? Here we hit an all-time low - a gap between February and August for any sort of upload. I mentioned the study abroad t

February, 2017 Fandom: Skins Characters: Sid Jenkins and Cassie Ainsworth Song: Poison & Wine by The Civil Wars Description: Happy Valentine's Day!! I didn't actually plan on uploading this on Valentine's day - it was just a coincidence, but hey! Also thanks for 3,000+ subscribers! And 5,000,000 views I suppose, those I suppose 99% of those are robot subscribers or viewers from kissing compilation videos so they don't really count :P. I'm fairly certain no one is actually here but if there is a real human being reading this, hello! Sid and Cassie are the ORIGINAL Skins ship and a large part of why I got into the show so I really wanted to pay them tribute. Also I got a new editing program so this was like trying out a new toy. Cassie and Sid are some of the first Skins characters I ever fell in love with. Their push/pull is indescribable. This is the first video I ever made with PowerDirector 15 which, personally, I find miles ahead of 14. It's stil

February, 2017 Fandom: 21/22 Jump Street Song: Break the Rules by Charli XCX Description: This is my first time doing festivids! This is my big reveal for lilly_the_kid this year! I fulfilled her request of vidding Jump Street twice, once with voiceovers, once without. This one is voiceover-free just for her :) I'm just going to restate what I said on my last video since these were made simultaneously. Festivids... wow. I don't know if this is still a thing anymore in the small but possibly still thriving Dreamwidth community. But for old-school vidders, this was a "Secret Santa-esque" event in which you indicated which fandoms you were willing to vid, and which fandoms you wanted to have vidded for you, and you're assigned as a gift giver and recipient. I only got to do it once before the community kind of died, but it was SUPER fun the year I did it. The video was first uploaded probably in Dec/Jan, unsigned, to an anonymous account. It wasn't un

February, 2017 Fandom: 21/22 Jump Street Song: Paper Planes by MIA Description: My first time doing festivids! This was intended for lilly_the_kid, however, she is not a voiceover fan so I made TWO videos, one more for me, and one for her, showcasing her same fandom request. This is the voiceover-heavy video. Festivids... wow. I don't know if this is still a thing anymore in the small but possibly still thriving Dreamwidth community. But for old-school vidders, this was a "Secret Santa-esque" event in which you indicated which fandoms you were willing to vid, and which fandoms you wanted to have vidded for you, and you're assigned as a gift giver and recipient. I only got to do it once before the community kind of died, but it was SUPER fun the year I did it. The video was first uploaded probably in Dec/Jan, unsigned, to an anonymous account. It wasn't until all of the Secret Santas were revealed that I re-uploaded to my actual YouTube channel, which is why I d

October, 2016 Fandom: Horns (2014) Song: Pray by Kodaline (song used in the teaser trailer) Description: WARNING some disturbing bloody imagery and such. It's been sooooo long since I've uploaded. I've missed it so much, so I wanted to make this for one of my favorite weirdo movies, but what started out as a one-week-or-less project turned into a whole fiasco just because my computer cannot handle the complicated graphics stuff. So this took a good month or so, but hey, it worked out cuz it's just in time for Halloween!! Before that I was busy with school (I'm always busy with school), study abroad, and editing videos for that on a private channel, so I never stopped video editing, just fanvidding for a while. I should be back now :) Whoa, we're in a whole new school year! Prior to this, the last time I uploaded was May. In between, it's not as though I wasn't video editing. Mostly I spent my time editing hours and hours of travel vlogs after I

May, 2016 Fandom: Scheherezade, Tell Me a Story Song: Score from Scheherezade, Tell Me a Story Poem: "So You Think You Know Scheherezade"? by Mohja Kahf Description: For a school project Best watched on a small screen due to low video quality. Setting the video to HD will improve the quality of the text but not much can be done for the imagery. I debated putting this on this blog, but it's still active on my channel, so let's give it a shoutout! Yes, that's my voice! I made this for a school project in a class about Middle Eastern Women's Literature. Our final project was allowed to be a "creative project" - anything of our heart's desire. It is the first an only time I have been able to use a school project as an excuse to make a vid. So I came up with the whole idea of matching the poem we had studied at the beginning of class, to the film we studied on the same subject, and particularly matching moments in the film to the words of the poem!

May, 2016 Fandom: Harry Potter Characters: Ron Weasley & Hermione Granger Song: Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol Description: OH MY GOSH this video is finally here and I have so much to say so for anyone who actually clicks "read more" bear with me. 1) In the last few months my subscriber number/view count jumped like crazy due to this Wes/Rebecca video that got surprisingly popular (which is not my doing, it's just a compilation video) but for all the new people here hello! This feels like a debut of sorts. You may have came for a compilation video of people kissing, but these videos are where my heart is. 2) This video took forever to make and it's why I haven't uploaded in so long. The program I have has this weird limitation where it does NOT like to mess with time, which is such a strange limitation for a vidder to have. So because I was sick of limiting myself and wanted to play around with slow motion and such... the program kept crashing and I d

February, 2016 Fandom: Skins Song: You Found Me by The Fray Description: The more times I watch this show the more I believe it's the most beautiful show ever created. MY CROWNING JEWEL OF SKINS VIDEOS I'VE MADE, AND PERHAPS MY CROWNING JEWEL OF ALL TIME. I'm very, very, VERY proud of this one! This was the first video I made after updating from PowerDirector 12 to 14. The editing features were not all that different. The most exciting part was the new coloring software that came with it, I REALLY felt like I could play with color! The coloring's not perfect, and creates some patches on their faces, but I'm still REALLY happy about it how it turned out. I think the contrast looks absolutely stunning. Of course, what I'm most proud of is content. I know this show inside and out and this is a compilation of many of my favorite, most emotional scenes. It is one of the greatest shows ever made. An artistic masterpiece. This video was uploaded months after my last

December, 2015 Fandom: Skins Compilation of Closing Credits Scenes Description: I just thought the closing credits were so well done each season, I wanted to compile them all. The version of Skins that is widely available (i.e. on streaming services like Netflix, or DvDs) has had its original music stripped for international copyright reasons. It was probably too expensive to license all of the songs they included. But for me, ESSENTIAL to the Skins viewing is the original music. I have downloaded all of the original episodes with its original music, and that is what I used here to upload the beautifully edited closing credits scenes, in which music is the heart and soul. It makes the video copyrighted in many countries, however, as to be expected.

December, 2015 Fandom: Chuck Characters: Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker Song: I'm Only Me When I'm With You by Taylor Swift Description: MERRY CHRISTMAS Anyone else feel like there's not enough lighthearted Chuck and Sarah videos out there? This is what makes their relationship so great, it unveils a whole new side to Sarah she didn't even know existed. And I'm sure it's still there now. If anyone knows any other good, fun charah vids let me know. Just a fun video I made. And for a reminder, I choose which vids I make based on what comes up via random number generator. It had been a long time since I had a chance to vid, so I was glad when this came up that I wouldn't have to do anything too complicated. Another video that is completely effects free! But I still thought it was worth sharing, and since my audience is primarily Chuck-focused, people thought this was a well-timed Christmas gift!

December, 2015 Fandom: Skins Characters: Freddie McClair and Effy Stonem Compilation of Kissing Scenes Description Skins is a UK TV show. Basically a compilation of every kissing scene of theirs that I knew. If I forgot one someone let me know and I'll fix it. What... what kind of mood was I in this December?? I posted like three compilation videos in a row... was I just so burnt out that I didn't want to make any actual videos?? This took no effort. People love it though, because they love Freffy. I get it, I do too. These are like basic fan service.

December, 2015 Fandom: Harry Potter Character: Dean Thomas Compilation of Dean Thomas Scenes Description: I went through every Harry Potter movie and put together every shot of Alfred Enoch to see how much screen time he got. Some parts are zoomed in to find him better. It's a little game called "Spot the Alfie" and it's wonderful. You really see how much time I waste. I'm sorry for the parts I missed, like his line in Sorcerer's Stone. I put this together rather quickly. You guys know Alfred Enoch from How to Get Away with Murder, yes? Wes Gibbins? Well before that he was in Harry Potter, though it's difficult to say he "acted." There was a hilarious quote from Alfie where he said something along the lines of "if you recognize me from Harry Potter, you've seen the films too many times." But he's in the background of so many scenes! You really see how much of a time commitment it was for ten years of his life! Even t

November, 2015 Fandom: Skins Characters: Sid Jenkins, JJ Jones, Alo Creevey Song: Loser by Beck Description: Ok, there are times when I'm like, sure, the dramatic and smart characters like Effy and Tony own the show. And then there are times when I say no, this show belongs to the losers. The underrated. Because, unlike other shows, they get their time to shine in their own individual episodes, instead of letting the principle characters drive the whole show. So this one's for the losers. If the song was like 5 times as long I would've also included Anwar, Pandora, Rich... there were just too many moments to choose from I had to stop somewhere. This is "Skins", so there is adult content. I love "Skins" for its humor as much as its drama, but its humor is underrepresented! I also love this video that I made. It's all about the timing of the humor, and the searching for uniquely underrated, hilarious scenes. This is one I remain very proud of,

November, 2015 Fandom: Chuck Song: 4 Minutes by Madonna Description: **Disclaimer** is the video jumpy to anyone? If it doesn't look smooth I'm sorry that wasn't me. Stupid computers. OKAY IS THIS SONG AVAILABLE NOW YAAASS the ultimately team bartowski song in my heart NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED I had to wait until it was perfectly legal to use this song. Crazed Chuck fan over here, nothing more dangerous. CROWNING JEWEL OF MY CHUCK VIDEO ACHIEVEMENTS!! Still one of the videos I am most proud of!!!!! It took a while to get this up on youtube because of copyright - it's another one of those cases where I edited months before I got to share it. I was HEARTBROKEN because I was so happy when I made it, and then I couldn't release it to the world. And then what was also weird was that when I colored the video, it got all "jumpy" which I tried to apologize for in the description. I have the non-jumpy version on my computer but the colors are so

November, 2015 Fandom: Harry Potter Song: September by Daughtry Description: September could mean a lot of things. Obviously it's the month where everything begins and life completely changes for Harry. It's when Hogwarts starts, so it might have been his favorite month. That's because Harry despised summer. Metaphorically though, September means turning away from the good times. Summer is like childhood. September could mean growing up. It could mean running away. It could mean the war. For Harry's life though, it sure doesn't mean the month. I really tried to up my technical and coloring skills while making this. I absolutely LOVE the coloring - the black/white tones are beautiful. The colored section in the middle also stands out. I didn't mess with timing at all still, which was a limitation. By that I mean nothing is in slow/fast motion, it's all in real-time (because changing that is a REAL PAIN in PowerDirector). Editing-wise, I think this is qui

September, 2015 Fandom: Chuck Characters: Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker Compilation of "I Love You" Moments Description: Probably not EVERY single moment, but a good majority of them nonetheless. Comment if you notice one I forgot People responded so well to the kissing video, so this was another easy-to-make variation of that one that I'm uploading right before classes start. Enjoy! Not as popular (ahem, titillating) as a kissing compilation, but I was right in that these types of compilation videos are easy view counts and casual fans love them. Clearly I knew before starting classes that I wouldn't be able to properly upload for a while.

September, 2015 Fandom: The Bling Ring (2013) Song: Fancy by Iggy Azalea, Charli XCX Description: #womancrushwednesday?? Or #Watsoncrushwednesday?? I tried to be civil about this and represent the entire cast and movie but lezzbe honest it's mostly Emma Watson. Who doesn't want to see sexy Emma Watson? I didn't even really like this movie. Or at least the editing or directing style, but I love the imagery, tone and characters and that's all you really need to feel passionate about vidding I'm not a huge fan of the movie, just a huge fan of Emma Watson. The movie doesn't have the best structure, editing, or script... BUT I loved the cinematography, the imagery, the themes of the movie... so it was totally enough to have fun making a vid. I actually think the aesthetic of this video is something I far prefer watching to the actual movie itself. To date, this is one of my own videos I enjoy the most. It's got a very simple, hip, timeless editing style. T

September, 2015 Fandom: How to Get Away with Murder (Season 1) Song: Give up the Ghost by Ella Henderson Description: I only like vidding programs that are finished but I was just so tempted. I'm way too excited for September 24th. ***UPDATE*** VIOLA DAVIS BECAME THE FIRST POC TO WIN THE EMMY FOR LEAD ACTRESS IN A DRAMA I now dedicate this video to you, you go girl. One of my favorite television shows, I'm now posting this in an era that's post-htgawm. The show is already over, and I have a plentiful list of ideas. That said, I have yet to make any "How to Get Away with Murder" videos apart from this one, which was admittedly made prematurely. I generally have a rule that I only vid fandoms that are completed (ie, a movie, or a tv show that has already stopped airing) but this was the one time I made an exception. Now, "vidwatchers" (audiences) tend to have the opposite rule. Many casual vidwatchers stop watching once a show loses its steam, and the
