[fanvid] xxxHolic - Wonderland

[halfcactus]

Saw the 2022 xxxHolic movie today—it wasn't a very good movie (in the sense that it needed another 30-60 mins purely just as an intro to Watanuki and his relationships) but it went SO HARD with the aesthetic I actually forgot about JitD for the rest of the day. It was my first time vidding on this computer and I guess it went well until I was exporting the subtitle track (which I ended up having to fix on Youtube's subtitles editor). Not sure if I messed something up or the version of Resolve I have is just wonky...

Also documented the "process". Top = before coloring, bottom = final output:

The color adjustments were mostly to brighten up the clips, though I might have overdone the brightness and the color correction lololol. Anyway my favorite cuts in this vid were Yuuko's eyes opening in increments at 0:35 and Watanuki stepping on the ledge at the line "up to the top". :')

Yeah, I thought it was a great vibes adaptation, but not one to go into blind... I enjoyed seeing how you did the color adjustments!

Thank you!!! It was pretty nice to have so much control over color.

Daisy commented that it felt like it was originally planned to be two movies but they were only told they could make one lol but it was still impressive that they covered the entire manga somehow.
