Draco Malfoy - Undisclosed Desires

-
August, 2014
Fandom: Harry Potter
Character: Draco Malfoy
Song: Undisclosed Desires by Muse

Description:
I know a lot of Drarry and Dramione vids exist... probably to this song as well, but I just wanted to make a straight up Draco Malfoy vid, because he's a great character all on his own. Also dedicated to the beautiful Tom Felton whose show Murder in the First just finished airing! (He's beautiful in that too).

This is such a popular song to vid to! I first became acquainted with this song when a vidder I highly admired made a Sarah Walker (Chuck) video to this song (that's now unlisted), and it included A TON of fast cuts and cool editing effects. And by fast cuts I mean fractions of a second to match the super fast bass beats!

Looking back on this, I cringe because the song has SO much potential to create a good vid, and I didn't have much technical skill back when I made this. My version of "fast" cuts still are probably at least an entire second long. I tried to be fancy with figuring out how to do bright flashes in my program. I'm self taught and PowerDirector is not a very well known program. It's cheap and satisfactory which is why I like it. Much more advanced than Windows Movie Maker, but without the expense of, say, Sony Vegas (which I still would love to have someday). I don't know how it's done in Sony Vegas but you know how I did it here?? I turned up the exposure as high as I could at the beginning of the frame and then eased it back down. Because actual white flashes or fades don't exist. I still do this trick to this day.

BUT regardless, it turned out to be one of my more popular ones likely due to the popular character and popular song.

Frank Delfino - The Cave

  May 2023 Fandom: How to Get Away with Murder Song: The Cave by Mumford & Sons Program: VegasPro 20 Coloring: SunnyVids Red Dawn (w/some adjustments) Description: Ummmmm Idk if there is something wrong with me that there's a fictional character that is a literal serial killer, and I love him because he's hot (sorry not sorry?) Seriously though, Frank is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. Goated. Serial killer be damned, this is my fictional husband. I chose this song because of the phrase, "on the noose around your neck." There are so many ways this is relevant to the character of Frank, who has literally strangled people to death. He puts his own metaphorical noose around his neck through his self-destruction, and he constantly has Sam's grip around his neck (literally and figuratively), as this controlling force of his life. Wait... this is only my SECOND video on this computer??? I bought this fancy-ass computer for the literal purpose o...

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...

Charlotte & George - King of My Heart

  July 2023 Fandom: Queen Charlotte (A Bridgerton Story) Program: Vegas Pro 20 Coloring: SunnyTutorials Nutmeg (w/some edits) Description: I fell in love with these two along with the rest of the world. This may be my favorite Bridgerton-related season? And Corey Mylchreest?? What a charmer. There are a lot of wonderful videos out there that focus on the drama and tragedy of his madness. This a powerful exploration of the weight of mental illness and the stigma, horror, fear, and sadness it carries. But I wanted to make a video that really focused on his charisma and presence as a king in spite of it. Screw the madness, underneath it all he is "just George." And by "just George" I mean a profoundly alluring man. This is not one that I have much to say about the editing process - nothing new, nothing fancy, just really enjoyed having an excuse to rewatch the sex scenes over and over as I edited them together. And then I felt guilty about it how much I was sexualizin...
