September, 2021   Fandom - Chuck Song - Perfect by Ed Sheeran Description: I made this in one long sitting except to go grab food or use the bathroom. I either have talent or a problem. Either way I haven't made a new chuck/sarah vid in YEARS(??) so time well spent. Program: VegasPro18 Coloring: Winter + Blur & Reduced Blue by Sunnyvids   I'm actually shocked by how quickly this took. I literally just finished and uploaded a video last night at like 10:30pm. It hasn't even been 24 hours and I've already cranked out this one after starting it at about 10am this morning. I can otherwise easily take months on a single video and haven't made videos this quickly since the early, EARLY days when I was still learning how to edit and didn't use any effects. I guess I just really having the editing bug right now. Best keep cranking them out while I can because, in a few weeks time, grad school will begin again. Admittedly this is a fandom that I have completely memor...

November, 2020 Fandom: Chuck Song: True Friend by Hannah Montana  Description: This is the stupidest thing I've ever created I'm so sorry. Grad school killed my brain cells this is all I have left to offer.   As much as this is a troll video it's also my contribution to The Happiness Project non-romantic video challenge! This is, no doubt, the best non-romantic ship of the show. Program: svp18 Coloring: mine   Oh my gosh I was like... do I make this video? Is this too ridiculously stupid? I've had the idea of ironically pairing this ship together with this song for like ten years, but ten years ago I would have been an adolescent with a very different sense of humor. I wasn't sure if it was still worth making.   When the non-romantic video challenge theme came up on The Happiness Project, I had several options I could have made - but this was the ONLY video where I was thinking, "This is the only circumstance in which I would make this video." All of the o...

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 ...

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...

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 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...

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!

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...

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.

August, 2015 Fandom: Chuck Song: So Small by Carrie Underwood Description: Song is NOT MINE. Show is NOT MINE. I'm just a fan who's really excited about being able to combine the two This video has so much of my heart poured into it. I edited it long before I uploaded it, but copyright issues... I'm so glad Youtube allows it now. That said, it's very obvious that the editing skill that went into this was far lesser than other videos I was now uploading by this point. It's very clear to me this must have been made several months prior - those quick crossfades and horrible transitions are the clear giveaway. But the content... oh the content... My love. My heart. I was devastated at the time when I couldn't upload right away.

July, 2015 Fandom: Chuck Characters: Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker Song: Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis Description: DISCLAIMER: Sorry for how bad the timing is. For some reason it's not aligned as well on youtube as it is on my computer. This is for Yvonne and Zac who are currently reunited at Comic-Con/Nerd HQ! I know this song gets used a lot, but I came up with this video so many years ago... It was ninth grade, we were working on a school project all night, and literally everyone got sick so we couldn't fall asleep afterwards. Or at least I couldn't. So I got up, walked around, and came up with this. And here like four, five years later or whatever I got to make it. Feels good. Real good. I tried out a lot of new technical skills with this one! Lots of hits and misses but I definitely learned a lot! In hindsight, this is one of my most popular videos. It highlights a lot of what I've been thinking about, which is that vidding audiences nowadays, especial...

June, 2015 Fandom: Chuck Characters: Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker Song: Marry Me by Train Description: Not my neatest video. It's just been sooo long and I got out of school this week and I just wanted to put something up as soon as possible. (Hopefully) more to come this summer. It's gonna be a busy one. Another Charah vid!! I love these two, clearly. My video uploading had become highly sparse by the end of my freshman year of college. After the school year was over, I made this video super quickly to make sure I had something available and to kickoff the summer. It was a video I had planned in my head ever since the proposal scene in Season 4, and ALL of the scenes thematically center around marriage and I think I pulled that off great. Though, it may be alienating because it's not a super generalized romantic video. Out of all of my Chuck vids, I think it has the most views for who knows what reason. It's not because it's my best. I know that because in ...

February, 2015 Fandom: Chuck Characters: Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker Compilation of kissing scenes Description: If I find more, I will list them here but probably not reupload again EDIT: There is a very small kiss on the cheek I missed in 2x14 And there might be another hand kiss in 4x24? Oh man... this is not a "vid" but I have to put some of these other uploads here because they make for a very interesting YouTube story... I think I made some of these to hold me over because I knew I wouldn't be able to upload at as fast of a rate (not even every month), and I wanted to put something on my channel. It was also like, who wouldn't watch this if you're a Chuck fan?? I have a very, VERY strong memory when it comes to this show and I've got all the moments in my head. It took me a few minutes to put this together, when others may have spent several hours or days trying to search for these scenes and still miss a good portion of them. So I was doing a servic...

January, 2015 Fandom: Chuck Characters: Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker Song: Life After You by Daughtry Description: Simple heart-ripping video. I'm not happy with it. I wrote the idea for this video back in 2010 and it was all season 3 based, so when I went back to revise it for the whole show, organization was REALLY hard. But still, I think it has some heart to it, so I uploaded it. Thanks for watching if you do. Looking back, this is one of my least favorite videos I have ever made. I planned this video out back when only 3 seasons had aired. And then adapting it to the entire series was quite difficult so I don't know if I succeeded. There are easy things to fix - I HATE the use of coloring, especially how grey the black/white looks in a lot of scenes. I hate a lot of the transitions. I hate how there is nothing in slow motion and yet it's such a slow song. I'll still occasionally watch it, but I don't even know if I have the desire to remake it becaus...

December, 2014 Fandom: Chuck Characters: Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker Song: Pretending by the Glee Cast Description: All pre-3x14, before Charah gets together Isn't it glorious to be on winter break and have the free time to make a video that's been in your head for so long, it only contains scenes from half of the show? This song epitomizes their fake relationship. OTP Here's another little vidding rave. There's something incredibly special to me in vidding about the ability to tell an incredibly complicated story in an accelerated matter. It's compact, and therefore more narratively saturated, if you will. So as pleasing as vids are aesthetically, it's not all they have to offer. I like to play a lot with themes and bending narratives to fit a particular song or set of lyrics. I can appreciate other videos for their aesthetics, but I feel like I can never be as good at that piece of it. This particular song/character match is to me the ultimate e...

December, 2014 Fandom: Chuck Song: Mr. Sensitive by David Cook Description: Sorry if it seems disorganized. It was definitely a "make it up as I go" kind of thing, but I wanted to encompass all of the different aspects of Chuck - the slightly pathetic side, the badass side, the morally conflicted side... etc. Like what a gift of a character. What a character. I love him so much and I hope it shows. This may be the first video on this list where I can look back today at the time of posting (2020) and still be like... wow that's a good video. Like I'd watch it if it weren't mine. This is so good. I'm very, VERY proud of this character study and I know it's one of my more popular and revered videos. As I mentioned in the last post, this is a video that came up at random! And I had to be like, "Alright, idea is not fully formed, but let's do this!" so I made up a lot of it as I went along, contrary to other Chuck videos I've made. I think ...

September, 2014 Fandom: Chuck Characters: Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker Song: Crazier by Taylor Swift Description: Hey look! A Sarah POV Charah vid! Just noticed after I made this that in my Chuck POV vid, the lyrics are "She knocks me off of my feet," and in the Sarah POV vid, the lyrics are "You lift my feet off the ground." Totally unintentional but woww Charah just works like that. OTP!! I am a sucker for vids from Sarah's perspective as she falls for Chuck. If you refer back to my previous post of my Titanic video, the same exact scenario applies. I basically did this completely blind. The videos were not loading in the preview window so I did my best guess based on where I knew scenes were, and rendered a few times to check my work. It sounds insane, but I had the video idea in my head for many, many years so that helped. Chuck got me into vidding in the first place! Partially because I couldn't exactly see what I was doing, what I notice now ...

August, 2014 Fandom: Chuck Characters: Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker Song: Just the Girl by The Click Five Description: Forever OTP. Their dynamic is... awesome. She knocks me off of my feet. When I was watching the show I always thought of this as the ULTIMATE Chuck/Sarah song, and I had this video in my head for so many years. The first Chuck video I made was more of an experiment, like, Could I actually vid Chuck in reality or would I hate it because it doesn't live up to my expectations?? And once I succeeded well enough there, I made the Chuck/Sarah video that had been the one I had been most eager to make all along. And yay! This one remains quite popular, and a favorite! I think it's because this is the style of song that works SO WELL with simplistic and fun lyrical editing. There were no bad transitions because, quite simply, I didn't include any transitions whatsoever. I just stuck scenes together back to back and there's something very satisfying about ...

July 2014 Fandom: Chuck Characters: Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker Song: All the Way Down by Once Description: First Charah video! Forever OTP My first Charah vid (of like the 50+ I had in my head)!!! The TV show "Chuck" admittedly is what got me into watching other people's fan videos in the first place. It's also what got me vidding what I call "in my head" which means listening to a song and being able to visualize the scenes that come with it. I was obsessed with this show and I think it comes across in my videos somehow because, to date, all of my most popular videos tend to be Chuck videos. Perhaps it's also because I fill a void where, in the years since the show ended (back in 2012) I still am vidding it. It's interesting how all of my Chuck vids are like a time capsule to junior high. The song choices I always make for Chuck videos are generally more juvenile, because those are the ones I planned out back when I was first watching the s...
