Mercury Retrograde
My home is in the cosmos, amongst my stars. -----
Here's my entry for #STICXVI, one last time in the Psyche category. I'm not much of an anime watcher these days, but this movie touched me quite deeply and so I really wanted to try making something special for it.
Thank you to my team (Dn@ & JazzsVids) for keeping me awake and motivated all weekend, I had so much fun editing with you two this year!

KARA! YOU ARE A QUEEN I SWEAR! Fuck, your video made me want to watch that movie, and damn your visuals...where do you get all these ideas?! And how can you make something so beautiful in 3 days you crazy girl! I really have nothing to complain besides the part between 1:33 to 1:51 which is a bit weaker compared to the rest of your video ( but knowing everything is god tier, it's difficult and using only a fucking movie as a main source, RESPECT! ) I really really want to see you edit a big project, seeing what you can do in 3 days is not enough anyomore, give us more! With much love of course <333
My reaction when you sent your video on discord :

it's just so clean. i like this alot. Might be one of my favs from the ic^^
My favorite video in Psyche category this year once again, I love the visuals specially with the better usage of the galaxies/stars, compared to last year's 3d footages. There are also some really cool shots with the multiple screens parts, and you did well using this movie on this song instead of the Bakemono series, it fits much more. Editing wise, the drop at 1min is well handled so props to you, preferred it over the second one who lacked a bit of impact but still flows well with the rest. I think that you focused more on the editing than you do usually and you have chosen to do new VFX rather than your old venatian blinds style and other of your classic set. retrograde to bronze

Amazing, can't really desribe how much i love this work. Imho this is the best performance for 3 days i had even seen in my life, even tho i think flow/er is still 1st in my heart from you but this year you destroy all my expectations from the beggining! This year is much stronger in terms of visual and technic then you do before and i really love fact that 2 years in a row you trying to show everyone your personality and touch really special topics about yourself. In this amv we can see how huge is your inner world and personally i cant even understand how this can be judged by someone, this is super unique and creative and i love absolutely everything about this work! Really afraid that if you keep doing like this i will not have place for other editors on my top 5 - favorite works of all time ahah.
You already know my opinion about this work but i want to leave this comment for you in the future
Future:
No matter what you doing right now, just remember how special you are and i'm proud that I have such a great friend as you Kara. Be opened to this world just like your work is
My favorite video from this year. I would never have expected the same editor to make my favorite videos both for this year and last year. Really curious to see what you can achieve in a non IC video. I hope that you will make something non IC in the future, I'm sure it will turn out amazing!

That's an amazing video, your concept is very clear and the implementation is stellar. It's crazy how we could never guess what the main theme of the movie actually is. I loved your compositing as well, the pan crop are very creative and binds everything together quite well, same for those inverted masks with galaxies in them, I feel like you integrated the original footage much better than last year and made them your own even more this time. I appreciated how you used other animes as well but I was just a bit surprised by the eye zoom from Kimi no na wa, considering how different the chara design is.
Congratz on 1st place in Psyche again, is it your 3rd time? Very few people achieved so many wins, you're in the realm of editing legends at this point and yeah, can't wait to see a non-ic video as well XD But for now I'm more than satisfied, great and creative work!!
