Does it still count as a bandwagon if you’re 4 years late? w
5000!! That’s a real big number!! I honest to goodness can’t even believe I broke it so quickly sdjhfkjsdf. It’s completely wild-I’d been sitting somewhere around 500 subscribers ever since VY2’s anniversary last year, and then back in August I dropped the Monster Crush cover and suddenly it skyrocketed within a week and I had no idea what to do about it. I’ve literally received more comments on Monster and I’m Sorry than any other video I’ve ever uploaded h o l
This was? originally?? supposed to be a 1000 subscriber milestone?? I started it practically the minute I got back from my trip and I got the tuning done lickety split, but the sub count was faster than I was, so 1000 got left in the dust shjkgldfshj
Part of the reason this took so long is I front loaded so much work into this darn project and ended up having to cut 90% of it out. I sort of panicked at the thought of doing something special, so my mind instantly went to “do the most,” and next thing I knew I’d planned out recreating the entirety of the original Donut Hole PV. Turns out that would have taken me ten million years and I needed to get on with my life sjhfglksdjf
I salvaged what I could, though! Took what was originally a turn-around and changed it into a LipSync rig and pulled out all the stops on it: multiple, moveable layers, a bunch of extra expressions, and even some eye animation thrown in. I really tried my hand at making as smooth animation as I could and using the program to its fullest extent, which in the end meant drudging through over 70 facial frames but sgjfhlskdf
i still should have made more eyebrow frames though w
The rig itself was definitely a challenge to work with, at least in AviUtl. Not having proper interpolation curves or working folders meant I had to manually sync up all the different parts whenever I wanted to move them, which really slowed down my progress overall.
In regards to the song, this one wasn’t really one I planned originally planned on covering! When it first came out, it took a while for it to grow on me, and by then the bandwagon had passed and I wasn’t really confident enough in my tuning yet to make it happen. However, all the note-bending experience from the I’m Sorry I’m Sorry cover helped prep me for the job, and I tackled it as best I could!!
Making the harmonies was something else all together heheh ;; I had a pretty hard time trying to make chords that fit the “feeling” of the original melody, and in the end I had to butcher my renders in my mixer to get them to the point where they sounded halfway decent. I cut out so much it’s not even funny honestly heheh ; ;
and honestly don’t even get me started on mixing i remade this thing like 20 times and i've lost all sense of what's right and wrong dsjghfl
I worked hard and it was a whole lot of effort, but I think it was worth it when it comes to giving a bit of thanks to all the people who decided to subscribe! The idea of one day having more than even 800 subscribers was something I never even thought of, and yet here we are.
Thank you all for 5000 subscribers!! Please enjoy!!
