Valentine's Day Special!
I wonder what I can make for Miku on White Day! :D
That's odd, I wonder why the video went blurry when I uploaded it. Probably because I set the picture size to 1366x768, my computer monitor screen size. Or perhaps it's simply because the quality decreases from its original resolution when not set to 1080p. Oh well, it's better than nothing! :)
What went through my mind that led me to make this: "Oh, Valentine's Day is coming up! Maybe I could make a video tribute to it! Oooh, but IT'S SO EMBARRASSING!!! D///X ... Oh whatever, what have I got to lose?! XD" So I made it. It's so sweet! (As its name implies.) I thought it was going to be depressingly cheesy, but actually it turned out really good at the climax. (I spent more time on writing the ending than I did with the beginning.)
For those who don't know, the Valentine's Day tradition is celebrated differently in Japan than it is in America. On Valentine's Day, the tradition is that women give chocolate to men, but nothing is given in return to women. This was done because it was believed that women often had the tendency to be too shy to express their love for someone. But since everyone is doing it on the same day, it helps her be less nervous about it, or at least that's the intention. (But that doesn't mean the man is obligated to not share it with her, though.) One month later, March 14th, White Day is the day where the men give white chocolate to women, where the man expresses his love for the woman. It's nice that women get their own special holiday. ^_^ White Day's also awesome because it's also my birthday! X3 (Even though I'm a guy. But whatever, it's still cute! XD)
Please note: The stories I write are usually much better and much longer, but I didn't have an Internet connection at the time I made the pictures, so I had to refit the story and bring it down to the stages and accessories I had in my MMD folders during the lost connection. (Besides, this is only my second time writing a script with a romance-genre, so I'm pretty new at this.) I wanted to do much more with it, but I was limited to what I had, and couldn't collect any of the other necessary things. Also, I believe my character posings look better than this, but I actually started this project a couple days before Valentine's Day. So because I didn't have much time, I rushed myself so I could at least upload the concept on Valentine's Day, I did the best I could. And I won't deny that I made mistakes either.
Another factor that made this difficult is that for some reason, I can't upload videos on my computer alone. So I have to borrow my dad's Mac, transfer my video through my phone, and upload it on my dad's Mac at whatever point he isn't using it. That's what I had to do for my My True Self video, and my Nekomimi Switch video, which are the two latest videos before this one.
Anyway, it's done! And I'm happy! :D (Oh gosh, but it's still so embarrassing!!! O///O)
I've never made a video out of my MMD comics before, so I partially intentionally kept it short because I couldn't predict how long it would be. (Plus I rushed it a little trying to fit with the music. XD)
Additional Note: I couldn't make motion data if my life depended on it! XD That's why this was done as a slideshow rather than an actual video. I just had Moviemaker do the animation for me! XD
DISCLAIMER!! Even though I put the credits in the video itself, I will still put a disclaimer here! I own the video itself because I made it, but I DO NOT own any the contents used in the video! All models, accessories, stages, music, sound effects, all go to their respective owners. Copyright Infringement is not my intention, and never will be. I just wanted to do something nice for Valentine's Day. This is for entertainment purposes ONLY, and any other purpose that may be accused such as making money from the video is absolutely false. I don't know what I have to do or say to further express my disclaimer, but in the end, I do not own anything other than the video, storyline, and the work I put into bringing it all together. Thank you for your understanding! :)
Now I'll get back to making my duets! At the time of making this video, I was in the process of making a KaitoxMiku duet of Romeo and Cinderella! :)
Oh, and if you're wondering where the non-Vocaloid music is from, I found it off the OST of Xenosaga 1: Der Wille Zur Macht (A video game). The artist's name is at the end of the video.
Happy Valentine's Day! X3
And haha sorry that I wrote so much. I talk a lot when I'm embarrassed. ///
