❝Cops and Robbers❞ 「Persona 5 AMV」

‣ Desucon 2018 AMV Contest Finalist
‣ Tracon 2019 Special AMV Contest – 1st Place in Editors Favorite

// update: a year later, at Tracon, I won the first place in a special kind of AMV contest where people could submit their old videos that didn't place in former contests. I'm pretty sure everyone is sick of this video by now, but I'm so happy that it got recognition. It's the video I'm most proud of even today. So thank you, thank you so much everyone!! ;__; ♥

I'm both relieved and scared to finally upload this video. I made this over a month ago and haven't watched it since because every time I did, I only saw new mistakes or errors.......... And I was just 100% done with the video. I really didn't want to render it again and I REALLY didn't want to open that project file ever again. So yeah. That basically sums up my feelings towards this freaking disaster of a video that somehow made it into the finals of an amv contest.

Don't get me wrong though, I didn't completely hate it. I actually had so much fun while editing (at least when I wasn't masking) and searching for new ideas. It's probably the first time I had such a clear theme in my mind and sticking to it was surprisingly easy??? Like the ideas for new effects or scenes just kept coming?? I know the theme itself isn't that original but BOY isn't it perfect for Persona 5? It is, right? So I just had to do it. It was a little hard since only 5 episodes had been released of the anime at the time, but I did the best I could. I really hope you all like it! ♥

//edit: I apparently made it to top 4 and had a draw with the winner. That makes me so happy, I was so close! ;w;

//edit #2: Thank you guys SO much for all your supportive comments! Especially on Tumblr: you've made me cry so many times, and I'm honestly so grateful. Thank you!! ♥♥♥

//edit #3: WHAT--- 10 000 VIEWS??? a-and 1000 likes?! THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE ;-;
