Taking a break from editing angst (for now) and made a fluffy silly CroMa AMV for Pride Month bc there's srsly a lack of it out there I̶ ̶m̶e̶a̶n̶ ̶c̶r̶o̶m̶a̶ ̶a̶m̶v̶s̶ ̶i̶t̶s̶e̶l̶f̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶s̶c̶a̶r̶c̶e̶ ̶e̶n̶o̶u̶g̶h̶
I've been wanting to edit this AMV for Pride Month since last year but since I couldn't do it at that time, I'm really glad I get to finish it this year, and within June too. And before anyone asks, I consider Crona x Maka a queer ship. Personally, I hc the both of them to be sapphic & in the ace/aro spectrum (I'll expand on more HC on my tumblr if anyone's interested :3c)
This AMV is mostly Maka's POV, hence the use of they/them pronouns. Had fun putting silly Maka expressions here and there. I actually used two different editing programs cuz using a single one in itself is lacking especially with some features, so some of you might notice the difference of editing styles between each parts. But mostly the vibe is quite fast paced, more of a bouncy quirky energy that matches the song.
I had some issue with the syncing but it's not too noticeable when it's played on PC, but it could be when it's viewed on a phone (idk why it does that to most of my videos). There's also a minor bug that I couldn't fix in one of the clips but since the video is fast paced it can only noticeable if you actually inspect each part.
The instrumentals part is a real challenge for me, or moreso for my laptop trying to function with such limited space. The Polaroid parts has so much layers that I'm hoping every time I add a new one, it won't crash the program or my laptop overall 😅
I incorporated a bit of memes and a reference to the manga within the video so keep an eye out for them if you recognize it 😉
I was originally going to put PiP short clips in between a certain part that acts like CroMa "reacting" to the video. But I had to remove them and only retained a few ones bc it's a bit distracting tho I'm considering posting it unlisted.
Also, I put almost all of the CroMa scenes that I ran out (wish they could've had more screen time together, especially when the both of them are just happy and bonding) so I patched up some scenes of them together t̶a̶l̶k̶ ̶a̶b̶t̶ ̶c̶o̶p̶i̶u̶m̶
Lastly, the clip at the end gives the impression of Maka & Crona looking at a photo album of the memories they shared together and I think it's really neat :) it was actually a last minute idea so I was glad I get to put it there.
And that's about it, till next time! To all the fellow LGBTQIA+ folks out there, Happy Pride Month! 🥳🌈
