#OP THIS GIFSET IS BEAUTIFULLY MADE

[majycka]

A LIST OF ULQUIHIME AMVS TO FUEL THEM FEELZ (ft me commentaries hehe)

a very recent made amv featuring manga panels that deserves more views. The OPs editing really amplified to beauty of kubo's art as well as the vibe he managed to capture with ulquihime's interaction

THIS AMV MADE ME OFFICIALLY REALIZED THAT SIA'S ELASTIC HEART IS 100% ULQUIHIME SONG. VERY BEAUTIFULLY EDITED

AGAIN ANOTHER SONG (GOO GOO DOLLS' IRIS) THAT'S DEFINITELY OWNED BY ULQUIHIME. LIKE THE OPENING LYRICS / And I'd give up forever to touch you / OR MORE LIKE THE WHOLE ENTIRE SONG IS JUST AH PERFECT :')

amv that screams early 2010/late 2000s vibe all from its chosen soundtrack to its low pixelated quality which I honestly think becomes part of the amv's aesthetic. ENJOYED THE MUSIC CUZ IM LIKE ALT ROCK ALLL THE WAAYYY

THE LEAST ANGSTY AMV I'VE THROWN IN THIS LIST SO FAR. inludes Sexy. Hot. HORNY. FANARTS OF THESE TWO AKLDNASJKNDASJKNDJK

ULQUIHIME SCENES BUT MAKE IT MORE DRAMATIC (and yes features our favorite scene of orihime bitch slapping ulquiorra)

HEYYY THE MOST ANGSTY AMV CAPTURING THIS SHIP (AS IT RIGHTFULLY SHOULD BE :'))

THE OFFICIAL ULQUIHIME ANIME OPENING DONT AT ME (also i love that they used revolutionary girl utena as template and made it IMPRESSIVELY WORK FOR ULQUIHIME :D)) annnndddd there's a gifset to showcase how well made this video is

Pretty Short but packed with angsty!!! Features unmasked manga panels and focuses a lot on Ulquiorra’s pov :’)

Features Orihime’s monologue from earlier arcs that ties in together with her Ulqui relationship. Also features the OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK OF HIS DEATH WHICH I ABSOLUTELY LOVE 🥲

Hi! I just wanted to say that I love your media edits. They’re all so beautifully made, not to mention emotionally engaging. Would you mind my asking what editing software you use, and any tips you may have for somebody looking to get into that kind of editing? Thank you!

hello! thank you for the kind words, they mean a lot 💛

as for editing tips and apps, I have answered some of your questions here and, although this other ask was geared towards one edit, this ask also explains some of my process.  DISCLAIMER: VSCO recently put a lot of free tools within their editing interface behind a paywall, most notably the Grain tool, so look out for that in other apps if you don’t want to pay.

additional advice -

find other edits/gifs/quotes/lyrics that resonate with you and look at them collectively; ask yourself what commonalities do you see in them that you frequently fall into? whether it be coloring, fonts they use, recurring themes [ex: you said there’s an element in my edits that you find emotionally engaging, so I would ask what aspects speaks to you most about them]

if you are specifically insp by an edit, feel free to use their edit as a guide to creating your own edits; part of art making is imitation, it’s very ingrained in the history of art so don’t get too hung up on ‘will they hate me if i copy what they’re doing’; the one thing I would advise, if you do closely copy another person’s edit, is to make sure it still represents your style [ex: i was heavily insp by this edit recently and there are stark similarities between my composition and op’s but at the end of the day, there’s still choices that makes mine mine and theirs theirs; same with this and this]

and if you do specifically want to call out the insp work, make sure to link the orig edit/gifset back to the op

don’t get too discouraged off the bat; you are just starting, which means you have some idea of what you want your style to be, but editing is a fluid process. My style has changed maybe 3-4 times. it can feel frustrating because either youre not happy how something turned out or the quotes/lyrics don’t fit perfectly, or maybe the quality of the image is low, so your edits look weaker against the rest of the set- these are common struggles, even for a lot of us making content these days

you can make something you don’t like and choose not to post it, just never think for a second that it was a waste of your time; each time you spend making something is worthwhile if it means you make something else you like again later

NOTES DON’T MATTER; NONE OF THAT MATTERS

don’t rely on p*nterest/g**gle images, when unsplash is your friend

if you have questions about how to use the apps in particular, you can DM me and I can try to walk you through some of it. that goes for anyone reading this and also wants to give it a try.

oh! Lastly, pls pls have fun with this! i find a lot of enjoyment pouring my enthusiasm for a show into an edit, so never spend time making if it doesn’t stem from a place of catharsis. does that make sense?

anyways, happy editing!
