Luckily, that indeed happened and the fun began.Ī centerpiece of Anime Conji, the rules of the event were simple. NIS America finally realized this and set out to change it by inviting Mikan, Kazuichi, Ibuki, Akane and of course Monokuma himself to San Diego at Anime Conji 2015 in the hopes that somebody would be murdered. As great as the games are, however, there’s always been something lacking in the franchise: the nefarious game of murder occurring in real life. Coming out of seemingly nowhere, the franchise has taken both the anime and anime gaming world by storm, with multiple devotees cosplaying as their favorite characters in practically every otaku convention of the past year. As you can see from this long write up, I put a lot of thought into it, and I hope that shows~.Danganronpa was one of the most pleasant surprises of 2014, offering up not just one amazing game, but two. I still have a lot to learn, but I enjoyed editing this (even though scene selection made me want to fling myself into a hole more than one time). They were all very gentle with feedback and didn't tear apart my confidence :D. So a special kudos to Jazzy on that one~!Īnd of course a thanks to all my beta testers, collectively: RAWdangers, WarlikeCygnet, JazzVids. I might have gone overboard (like I always do when I try something I've never done, haha!) but I really liked them and thought they added flare to the simple and traditional cross-fade transition. Jazzy () also encouraged me to try new things, including adjusting the lights of clips. Anyway, Aimo and Crossfade are two of the many editors that inspire me, so I thought about them often when working on this. Both videos are truly wonderful, simple, lovable, and memorable, and they hold special places in my heart :). They also capture the charm of both anime, which can be hard to do when creating an original work. Also, the moods of both videos are well constructed and quite present all the way through you can FEEL the emotions when you watch them. Aimo's scene selection and pacing, as well as Crossfade's timing, are things that I want to improve in myself. Specifically, the aspects of these two videos: (Enchanted) and (Spanish Wolf). Masking, while effective and so useful, really bums me out x'D-therefore, I avoided it as much as possible.įor this project, I wanted to try and mimic the styles of two of my editor-heroes: AimoAio () and Crossfade (). If you can't already tell, I also made this a very raw video. I didn't want this video to be hackneyed. Also, I tried to avoid the more "overused" scenes by watching similar AMVs and determining which sequences were always popping up. I attempted to establish a passing of time by spreading days and nights across the video equally, speeding up at the end, with some sunsets/sunrises in between. I've always been more for the abstract anyway, since telling a story from start to finish is incredibly hard for me. I wanted not exactly a narrative, but a series of split vignettes that all work towards a feeling. It represents something in their relationship and helps unify them as they spend time together. It's basically a profile of the two main characters, centralizing around the theme of a bicycle. Now that it's finished, I plan to try and tour it around some cons this year. I wanted to edit with it, and found the shiny cuteness of Denpa Onna to fit well. Well, I started this project after seeing Wreck It Ralph with my boyfriend, and the credits song was still stuck in my head even after I went home.
