Entry 04: INSOMNIA
Decscription:
Spoiler:
Summary:
The title of the video is INSOMNIA. It's a psychological thriller teaser trailer (boy, that's a mouthful)

This is a story about a woman who, ever since her accident, has been witnessing things in her sleep. Eventually, her friends start disappearing one by one. Disturbing photographs of them appeared everywhere she goes, even when she closes her eyes, haunting her.

Were the visions and her friends' disappearance related? She has no idea what is going on but she can sense their presence, telling her that she's next.

Making the video:
I used Sony Vegas Pro to edit the video and Audacity to edit and mix the songs.

Footages used:
- video: ourselves, is this Love?, Days, BALLAD
- audio: GUILTY, insomnia

Entry 05: De diē Iudicii
Description:
Spoiler:
Name: De diē Iudicii [latin for "The Judgement Day"]
Song used: The Judgement Day
Other Ayu material: The video features lyrics of "Mirror" in the beginning.
Type of video: Anime Music Video
Anime used: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Program used: PowerDirector 9.0
Editing time: ~16 hours
Brief summary/making off/etc.:

As the song I used is interlude, I hadn't any lyrics to worry about. Instead, I paid extra careful attention to the whole feeling of the song, and all the different layers of it. To give a sense of rhythm, I did my best to listen to the "rumble sounds" in the beginning and the drum beat in the background.

The video itself is quite abstract, and since Judgement Day is a song that actually kinda "lingers" a long time, until briefly "explodes" into its entirety, you can't build up a whole story in it. However, I used the lyrics of "Mirror" and couple of sentences in the end to balance this, so please read all the texts carefully~ [You might want to pause when you read, I had to edit them to appear quickly] So in the end, it does contain a little story.
Judgement Day builds up speed quickly when in its entirety, and sadly in this part [especially during 0:59~1:10] I had to use some clips that might feel kinda out of context. [However, I wanted to include all the main characters of the anime so] The speed during this part is no more than about fifth of one single second, so I guess you understand why : D

Of course for those who have watched the anime itself will get better what's going on, but when you pay attention to the video, I hope you are able to make out some kind of conclusion :3

The video uses a special font, a same one that its used in the anime to desprict parts of Goethe's "Faust" book among other things.

It was really enjoyful to make this! ^_^

I hope you'll enjoy my video, I made it almost 20hours!

Entry 07: Replace
Description:
Spoiler:
I have always loved loved loved the song Replace and I wanted to make a video that represents Ayu's words. It's a happy video concentrating on the AyuxFans relationship. I hope this movie will arouse some smiles.
It was made with AVS Video Editor that didn't quite cooperate with me but after some troubleshooting this final result came up.
