And if you were smart and used their coupon code, the room prices are an affordable $116 a night when you travel with buddies. It’s a decent sized place that keeps everything insanely clean for the amount of traffic going through it each day. Held inside the Marriott LAX which coincidentally is smack-dab next to LAX airport, ALA’s choice of hotel is pretty nice. Review of the Con and tons more pictures after the break!

So after a spur of events that introduced Anime Los Angeles or ALA to me, I applied to get a press badge - and I actually got it. As you can see from this long write up, I put a lot of thought into it, and I hope that shows~.General Cosplays and Pictures of the VenueĪfter being spoiled with Anime-Expo for the past four years, I thought it would be cool to go check out some of the other conventions that were somewhat close to where I live. I still have a lot to learn, but I enjoyed editing this (even though scene selection made me want to fling myself into a hole more than one time). They were all very gentle with feedback and didn't tear apart my confidence :D. So a special kudos to Jazzy on that one~!Īnd of course a thanks to all my beta testers, collectively: RAWdangers, WarlikeCygnet, JazzVids. I might have gone overboard (like I always do when I try something I've never done, haha!) but I really liked them and thought they added flare to the simple and traditional cross-fade transition. Jazzy () also encouraged me to try new things, including adjusting the lights of clips. Anyway, Aimo and Crossfade are two of the many editors that inspire me, so I thought about them often when working on this. Both videos are truly wonderful, simple, lovable, and memorable, and they hold special places in my heart :). They also capture the charm of both anime, which can be hard to do when creating an original work. Also, the moods of both videos are well constructed and quite present all the way through you can FEEL the emotions when you watch them. Aimo's scene selection and pacing, as well as Crossfade's timing, are things that I want to improve in myself. Specifically, the aspects of these two videos: (Enchanted) and (Spanish Wolf). Masking, while effective and so useful, really bums me out x'D-therefore, I avoided it as much as possible.įor this project, I wanted to try and mimic the styles of two of my editor-heroes: AimoAio () and Crossfade (). If you can't already tell, I also made this a very raw video. I didn't want this video to be hackneyed. Also, I tried to avoid the more 'overused' scenes by watching similar AMVs and determining which sequences were always popping up. I attempted to establish a passing of time by spreading days and nights across the video equally, speeding up at the end, with some sunsets/sunrises in between. I've always been more for the abstract anyway, since telling a story from start to finish is incredibly hard for me.

I wanted not exactly a narrative, but a series of split vignettes that all work towards a feeling. It represents something in their relationship and helps unify them as they spend time together. It's basically a profile of the two main characters, centralizing around the theme of a bicycle. Now that it's finished, I plan to try and tour it around some cons this year. I wanted to edit with it, and found the shiny cuteness of Denpa Onna to fit well. Well, I started this project after seeing Wreck It Ralph with my boyfriend, and the credits song was still stuck in my head even after I went home.
