[process] Nirvana in Fire - Bring Me Back To Life + process notes

[halfcactus]

"琅琊榜 Nirvana in Fire | this is how you bring me back to life" (Watch on Vimeo)

I feel like I should have stopped after the first chorus and maybe not animated the lyrics too much but I really want to play with Da Vinci Resolve's type tools? I haven't figured out how to merge text layers or how fusion compositions work. ;___; I also set an imaginary deadline of having to finish before the weekend because I got too caught up working on this that I couldn't get myself to do anything else at night or listen to my friend's new album.


Notes:

Started Wednesday, finished Sunday. My nights have been free since I quit my part-time job, so I didn't have to lose sleep over this. XD

I'm mildly annoyed because this wasn't the thing I wanted to work on, but the song came out of shuffle and I had a flashback to the gifset I made based on it in 2018.

1 fanvid ago I couldn't even figure out how to get the dropshadow to appear. Now I have mastered it. XD

Just as I started this, my brain was like "but WHAT IF FFXV VERSION". I did end up mentally outlining what an FFXV version would look like before I realized that doing a vid to the same song I've had on repeat would drive me crazy actually!

I have discovered!!! The coloring panel!!! I'm not much of a coloring person but it's useful to be able to brighten up dark scenes.

I feel like I discovered a lot of other things but I'm presently too sick of thinking about this hahaha.

This is amazing! How the lyrics matches the images and how the images fade into each other!
I love that you ran away with your tools.
Thank you for sharing this vid with us!
