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 did this video in many pieces. And the slow motion looks crappy. But I accept this video and all of it's flaws wholeheartedly because it's done now yessss.
3) As for this couple... I have so much love for them and I'm a nervous wreck thinking towards this summer when we finally find out their adult fates. Whatever happens, I'll imagine they stay together.
4) This video was largely inspired by one of my favorite Romione videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS6vr5KSIdQ Go give that a watch and sorry if there are similarities, i couldn't help it. Such a good video.

This was my first experimentation with messing with time (as in slow motion) which seems crazy because every vidder does this. But it's REALLY tricky in PowerDirector so it takes far more time and effort than it should. I've actively avoided trying it, but I really wanted to for this video. So as a consequence, I worked harder on this video than just about any I had ever done.

It's complicated to explain, but in essence, sometimes it randomly "undoes" itself and reverts back to it's original timespan. Which messes with the entire timeline. Also, you can only pick from designated speeds (i.e. 80%, 60%), in order to make it look smooth. And if you do it in the middle of the timeline, it shifts everything else, so you have to pull it to the end of the timeline. It's a mess.

Pros, however - COLORING (I think I pulled this off so well, I love it!), and aesthetic. I can remain proud of this one despite the nightmare that was making it.

Evanna & Keo - DWTS Tribute - I Wanna Dance With Somebody

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

Remus Lupin - The Wolves

July, 2014 Fandom: Harry Potter Character: Remus Lupin Song: The Wolves (Act I and II) by Bon Iver Description: "With the wild wolves around you/In the morning I'll call you/Send it farther on." Dedicated to Remus Lupin. Also shows his relationships with Harry Potter and Nymphadora Tonks. I wish he had more screen time. I would've done this video much differently if the baby storyline was actually left in. But this is the best I could do! Remus Lupin is definitely one of the most fantastic Harry Potter characters of all time - one that evokes a mixture of reverence and admiration, yet also extreme pity. I have to give a shoutout not only to David Thewlis's performance, but Broad Strokes' Productions INCREDIBLE "Great Wizarding War" audio series, in which Remus Lupin is voiced by Paul Stanko. I had a separate video idea in my head for how I would have made this video if the books were filmed in their entirety, but alas, this is the adapted ver

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.
