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 still the editing program I have now. It really goes to show how much difference a solid program can make. I made this video incredibly quickly even though there was a lot of complexity to it. And I got to layer some images which was a new feature! To date, this is one of the videos I am ABSOLUTELY most proud of and I wish it had more attention. I'm so happy with the coloring - the timing, the layering, the transitions... ugh. I love this video.

I remember making this REALLY had me wanting to go back and perhaps redo old videos with an updated skillset. But that is a really slippery slope that I'm not ready to go down - only with a very small, selected few. My mind may change if I ever get Vegas and realize just how much these need to be redone.

Harry Potter - Lonely

    January, 2021 (Made public February, 2021) Fandom/Character: Harry Potter Song: Lonely by Justin Bieber Description: Who knew Justin Bieber and Harry Potter were the same person? This is for the favorite character challenge as part of The Happiness Project! I thought a lot about vidding which characters were popular at the moment or more current. If you ask me my honest answer for favorite character of all time though, it'd still be the one and only Harry.   Unfortunately this song was unavailable for me on YouTube. Please visit the vimeo link to watch the whole thing: https://vimeo.com/501887944 Program: vegaspro 18 Coloring: sunnyvids Soon You'll Get Better   I probably spent more time navigating how to upload this video rather than the editing process. I knew the song was popular at the moment, so I checked to see if any others vidded to this song already. The answer? They had. There was even a video within the Harry Potter fandom TO THIS SONG uploaded recentl...

Adele - Blue is the Warmest Color - Paper Thin

  August, 2022 Fandom: Blue is the Warmest Color Song: Paper Thin by Astrid S Program: VegasPro18 Coloring: Winter by SunnyVids   Description: "I have infinite tenderness for you"  Yes, tenderness is the word I would use to describe Adele in a nutshell, and it is Emma's (French-translated-into-English) word of choice as well. Adele is one of the most beautiful characters I have ever seen in media. She conveys such a vulnerable and painful lust it's almost hard to breathe when you watch her on screen. And I'm saying that as a heterosexual woman.    I wrote more about my thoughts on this very special film here:  http://narrativemultiverse.blogspot.com/2020/07/blue-is-warmest-color.html    I am on a roll!!!!..... Or was. I expect this to be my last video before I start a new full-time job and once again sacrifice the majority of my waking hours. I am proud of the fact that in the time between graduation from grad school and the start of my new ...

Troy & Gabriella - She is the Sunlight

  September, 2021   Fandom - High School Musical Trilogy Song - She is the Sunlight by Trading Yesterday Description: "If right is leaving, I'd rather be wrong" are some of the hardest lyrics to ever hit. Also Gabriella is a literal sunshine of a character and I've idolized her since I was a kid. I've edited this for The Happiness Project's Nostalgia Challenge! Proudly, this challenge was my idea and I was feeling kind of down that it wasn't going to happen because I didn't have the time to put it together. That said, I started editing this video a few days ago anyways because I still wanted to make it. When I heard that someone else was hosting the challenge I was ecstatic and went straight to finishing this! Program: VegasPro 18 Coloring: Sunnyvids #7   Well this was a fast one to make! Just a few days and some very long sittings. I was surprised how quickly I was able to finish because usually, when I vid a fandom for the first time, it's very s...
