[PMV] Ascension

[@rng4612]

It's been 5 years and this is still swell af

[@argodaemon]

I had never heard of MitiS before, but you have me addicted. This was amazingly well done. Loved every second! You have some amazing talent!

[@blankbear782]

Hi!!

[@auroraSLAP]

Anyone else notice that at 2:05 the circles with Twilight's friends' cutie marks break open in the order of which she met when she first moved to Ponyville?

[@zombieslayer2262]

How the fuck do you know the order in which she met them? Wow, that pretty impressive.

[@auroraSLAP]

zombieslayer226 I just remembered since I've seen the premiere a few times.

[@wildkittygaming3922]

+Ibrahim77X yeah

[@TheAcleps]

Not sure yet. I still have to figure out a song to use, and what style I'd want to use. I'd really like to experiment with a "new" style that I haven't used before...

[@TwinAquarius484]

Watching in the dark with headphones is the optimal experience

[@xXfuffychickenXxreddivineaj]

1:56 - 2:18 I love that part! The order of the cutie marks is the order of ponies Twilight met! Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash then Fluttershy. They join their friendship together and the friendship game power for Twilight to transform into an alicorn and the Mane 6's friendship are stronger than ever! It's a really good touch

[@pan_golin]

I still remember the first "visual PMV", called Dork. So many wonderful PMV like this have been made after Dork, and it's totally worth it !

[@TheRainblossoms]

I've watched/listened to this track for over a year now... The stars must have aligned because this PMV is a masterpiece of a generation.

[@DragorKing]

This is how magic should have been represented in the show. Advanced to the extreme degree. As something that defies explanation, not something that doesn't need it.

[@MDPace]

Man this takes me back to my mlp faze 😭😭

[@yonimai]

Me too!!! I remembered being so hooked onto videos like this when I was so small

[@mairagirlschannel34]

Does anybody think that if you put headphones and watch this it feels like its vibrating through your body and giving you in sink with The music with in ^-^

[@boogerhead766]

wow that was deep kinda btw I do get that feeling I have a playlist you can check out on my account that is full of songs I like to listen to until I fall asleep

[@Lewiss721]

mairagirlschannel34 ikr

[@djmaple5940]

To The Acleps: I just want to say your amazing at what you do. Every video you make is perfect and beautiful! I don't even know how you do this, yet you do and it's so good!!! It's so good that being an animator myself, you're one of the people that inspired me!!! I really hope you keep up your good work!!!! ~Maple

[@TheSaekwan]

I've listened to MitiS's music so much that I'm able to recognize a track of his quite easily, whether I've heard it in the past or not.. awesome

[@Dembitess_Blu]

I remember when this came out and even if the years have passed.. This is still wonderful like the first time I saw it 💙

[@littlekittytv7893]

This song sends tingles down my spine every time the base drops.

[@CDJAM-webm]

this still goes so hard wtf

[@FlightTune]

You have become amazing with after effects... This PMV was just out of this world...

[@froggirl200]

Every PMV of yours I watch gets better and better. You're incredibly gifted; absolutely my favorite youtuber- I don't know how you do it, but I'm blown away every time.

[@TrentLouison]

Why do we create so much great stuff? It still mesmerizes me to this day!

[@spartansolitario98]

woow hehe Beautiful PMV I loved this PMV and more Twilight Sparkle :3

[@staticvex5937]

Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I say the same for all your videos, however I say this is one of your best. All of your videos are really amazing and beautiful in a way that only people like you and me can truly understand. It takes true talent to perfectly master the art of turning a beautiful song that can speak to your soul through its seemingly random synthesized beats into an amazingly beautiful work of abstract art that can truly speak to someone in a way that inspires creativity and just puts anyone in a significantly better mood. Good job, I look forward to your next work of art.

[@TheAcleps]

These kinds of comments are what make publishing my work worth it. Thank you, I really appreciate what you said.

[@HalflingPony]

I've felt a bit burnt out on motion graphics vids lately, but this was a definite exception. It was beautiful, remained visually interesting throughout, had a good track behind it and even included a bit of genuinely meaningful symbolism. Color me impressed!

[@Nitrocity7151]

In my opinion one of his best

[@goldiesunset32]

why do I wanna cry

[@SciFi97]

Watch this and this (Passion) at the same exact time and volume! SO AMAZING!

[@brentramsten249]

it frightens me the art direction is so good....

[@MoonShine973]

honestly, every time i watch your pmv videos, i become speechless, its just.. whoa.

[@snaky117]

my god, the animation in this were truly stunning, nothing felt forced. it was a fluid motion of activity and awesomeness, I just wanna watch this animation all day!

[@vicviper6]

Why does this not have more views!!! ITS AMAZING!

[@Malathrom]

That's probably the most impressive pmv I've seen in my life! Insane job

[@Cobalt985]

These are just... MESMERIZING.

[@SonariNeiracchen]

Wow. I love how these videos seem to tell a story. I am mostly speechless.

[@redwings13400]

I've been rewatching this video constantly recently. Aahh, this is awesome!

[@567legodude]

You uploaded this while I was standing in line at Minecon. I got the notification and I really wanted to watch it but I couldn't while waiting in a line of 5000+ people.

[@vampcute]

I feel bad for you ;(

[@Tytus_Albas]

How are all of your videos masterpieces?! like seriously the animation is so smooth. and eye catchy :)

[@TheMitcher]

Dude I could watch these swirling shapes all day. Wait, I'm going to come back to this while stoned!

[@_httpkirby]

.....that name...Twilight is not amused with it.

[@elderlybrunch4169]

Thank you for giving me back my drawing inspiration. :3 I haven't made anything decent in months and now I finally have ideas and a reason to get better at what I do.

[@Dazzlfckyea]

BUCK.. ME.. O_o It was soo good! It's my favourite PMV at the moment!

[@MikeNewton]

Wish I had time to learn skills like that. Great PMV.

[@EgoFriendly]

Every new PMV you put out gets more intricate and more impressive than the last... Keep up the AWESOME work! :)

[@Jonny11890]

I have to say I am consistenly blown away by your work. I watch these videos and just get lost in the amazing creation before me. I sincerely hope you continue this trend and make many more amazing PMV's!

[@thepolskiperson]

THIS IS THE BEST PMV I HAVE EVER SEEN! SOOOOOO HAPPY GONNA EXPLODE!!!!

[@imkuelllgremlin]

2018 anyone?? GOD THE NOSTALGIA

[@BrandonL3000]

2020

[@imkuelllgremlin]

@@BrandonL3000 oh damn

[@Lewiss721]

2021

[@darthvaderthegamecat]

This is the song that got me into the fandom, I left the fandom then found this song to bring me back into it. Thank you

[@Manecloudvillelot]

Wow. I really, really, really like the effects work and editing here. Some PMVs of this style overdo it, but you managed it so that it felt just complex enough and not overcrowded. Soft and smooth and beautifully flowing. Great job, I say.

[@racecarghost1]

The feels... THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!

[@YaMamasRigatoni]

That animation though!

[@soulyman1]

This was amazing, I can't explain why but I got so many feels in this that it even made me tear up. The MLP franchise has given me so much to look forward to and just seeing videos like this made by people like you brings a smile to my face. Sincerely, Soulyman

[@alikebadge6]

Whenever I see something as brilliant as this, I think "THANK YOU!" and "INSPIRATION!"

[@DammitJeff]

Acleps I must say you have improved! :D

[@skunk292]

Loving it. listened to the song, got hooked on it, bought the rest of his music, great producer if i say so myself. Also Acleps did an amazing job on the PMV, total credit to The Herd

[@moonnote1419]

You did an wonderful job at both the peace of music and the video.

[@TheAcleps]

Yup, it was the only program I used for this one!

[@itachie1212]

I love these forms of fully custom Pmvs like this. Great stuff!

[@13ShoU37]

Awww two days before and we could have entered it into the top ten October vid, oh well. No doubt it'll make it into November's list

[@user-eg2ox6bh4f]

*Pure Awesomeness, this is like a first love, i cry & got goosebumps at skin!.*

[@katerinamorris549]

I really love this video. It really shows who Twilight Sparkle is, and what this pony has done and been through, what she has as a reward. She really is one of my favorites. She saved all of damn Equestria. At least 3 times. She was destined to become an alicorn from the beginning. Princess Twilight Sparkle. Nice.

[@hilliardbraeburn687]

What an awesome depiction/representation of the newest Princess! Thanks - Great video

[@deadaccount5944]

This really a sight to see! I come onto this video to listen to the music while I was doing homework, but this work of art is so captivating!

[@classicerowa8288]

wow youre definitely my favorite PMV make-errerer person

[@sonicrainboom1234]

you do some really great work that's why you're one of my favorite animators in the brony fandom

[@shazeverdragon5575]

wtf awesome PMV illustrator + my favourite song WELL DONE ACLEPS!

[@Derpydoo19]

I really love it so much and the background is so awesome

[@cassie4300]

The level of beautiful is too damn high!

[@AFlyingMayMay]

best fandom

[@terrygamez]

Im pretty sure KZbin has a rule saying they dont allow videos this cool. Seriously, videos this good cant be legal.

[@mukyuuhikuu]

Beautiful.

[@mung743]

Keep doing what you have been doing. You're something special.

[@deltss]

This is amazing. I'm just speechless. I had shivers while listening to this.

[@Zepheroni]

it perfectly fits to the song , great job

[@theonlyaceofspades1175]

Extremely well made, the music and the animation were outstanding. I'm not a PMV kind of guy, but this was just amazing. Very fluid and... I'm sorry, but I can't describe how amazing this is anymore.

[@Spl111nta]

JezuS the people who made this are way past talented!

[@aaronlindsey2219]

this is too amazing! I just couldn't help feeling so enthralled, pretty much hypnotized by my computer screen. Well done sir.

[@Makenshi179]

Amazing... Utterly amazing. As with Cubed or The Dive Game, I can hardly express with words what I truly feel for such gems of art. Well, in any case know that YES, I absolutely loved it, and wish you could continue making such PMVs because you are so good at it! From the bottom of my soul, Thank You so much for making this. The art, the music, and the assimilation with what we feel for the show, and Twilight in this particular case, all contribute to make this video emotional for us. At least for me it was. And that's the power of Passion. The parts of the song at 1:15, 1:26, 2:46 and 2:56 with that "descending" ambiant sound in the background are especially emotional for me. I wouldn't have felt those emotions without your work. Thank You.

[@nocturnalsunlight3639]

Oh, this combined with the memories of me hearing the song for the first time (which was way back in 2013) results in a massive amount of positive emotions. ;)

[@Makenshi179]

Nocturnal Sunlight You mean when you wrote that comment? Or whenever you watch this?This is actually my favorite PMV ever ^.^ It is SO emotional... Yes, when you say "massive amount of positive emotions", I think we understand each other :)

[@nocturnalsunlight3639]

Makenshi179 When I watched this. :) Yeah, I think we'll get along pretty well. :D

[@Hoodcat]

that was absolutely beautiful...

[@miepmiep4302]

GEEZ! i could just stare at all your pmv's all day!! you are the best!

[@shibeshibo5552]

This is absolutely great.

[@lolaadase4294]

This was my first pmv and it got me into Mlp, I also love this song so much Becuz of it

[@Valkyrie247]

Thus why the fandom is so great. It just amazes me how awesome Bronies NEVER stop with the awesome content! Keep it coming! I wish I could do all this great stuff...

[@tylerlaw4354]

My 3rd video I love made by this guy!

[@CandybeeAJ]

Whenever I watch these kinds of things I feel like I am in another world.

[@theeviltater8863]

These animations are very impressive

[@Thomasawesome55]

This is pure perfection!

[@Shadowub1590]

Whoooh, that intro gets me every time👍

[@Haiasiriku]

Im soooooooo looking forward to season four!!!

[@tealfrostmlp1785]

Best. PMV. EVER!!

[@nanda_nka]

I love their songs are really cool !!

[@alexstaines5983]

This must have taken a bloody year to make. Such smooth animations.

[@alexstaines5983]

Yeah right after this video I watched a tutorial about it. much easier then a thought lol.

[@alexstaines5983]

How to make a PMV? - Advanced After Effects Tutorial This is it. Ignore his background. ehe

[@JK3JET]

I'm in Love with your videos, and I am at lost what to say but brilliantly done. I can not describe how powerful this video will have on others; but this reminded something very important that I had forgotten and made a mistake recently and my stubbornness prevented me from seeing what I did wrong. I had forgot with change comes greatness the greatness is gained with something lost. Thank you.

[@TheBudgetGunCollector]

And then the wings came...

[@ivanaignatova4596]

my fav is rainbow

[@arsomnes]

finally, an amv that actually took some talent for once! Great work dude

[@_httpkirby]

Still can't get over how great this is :D :D

[@itachie1212]

Expect this to be on the top of the list for this months top 10 :P

[@supergamerxda.k.azabuza4031]

That was Awesome

[@msbradley9]

I have just seen this and you have skills. Everything has a smooth transition and it is amazing.

[@lunarpunkchunk]

Utterly beutifull! Nice work put into the affects, probably took FOREVER to make it! Nicely done

[@Zeiqqu]

So many different shapes and effects! :D I really liked how you made that switch to alicorn Twi. I can already see this featured at EQD, nice job man, nice job :)

[@Novah369]

I have been waiting for this! Once again you have worked your magic Acleps, i love it

[@Dashketch]

Oh man...I have so much more to learn about after effects... you seriously inspire me dude.

[@channelterminated7190]

The music makes me think about things I don't know about
