RWBY - Glitter and Gold

[@ShinyElle]

One million views!!!!! 😲

[@fallenpoet6051]

ShinyElle Well deserved. 😁 I’m happy for you!

[@fallenpoet6051]

And I love this AMV! It’s honestly one of my favorite videos on KZbin. You did an excellent job!

[@Schnee7929]

It is so entertaining to watch. You deserve the views.

[@ShinyElle]

Thank you!

[@ShinyElle]

You're too kind - thank you so much for being so lovely and encouraging!!!

[@ZweiofPembroke]

I was told this was the "Best RWBY AMV," they were not wrong.

[@ShinyElle]

Man, those are some high standards to live up to - phew, am I relieved you enjoyed it!!

[@yumberry97]

yes, this is officially on my list of "best AMVs". dont worry about living up to that standard, you already exceeded it

[@ShinyElle]

That's so kind of you, thank you!

[@comedytragedy6597]

"Left your bottle at the door" Qrows eyes fly open wide when he hears that, favorite part 2:13

[@ShinyElle]

Haha, I'm really glad you liked that part so much - I'm kinda man of that moment too! Thank you for commenting :)

[@ryanallen5396]

KALEB ARNESON nah, he's like, "you're not touching my booze!"

[@demigoddaedra4327]

[@zerdapekin847]

YES that was so funny i died laughing xD

[@treyxev1637]

Every "ting ting" is just beautiful It makes my heart skip every time. I love this video so much

[@ShinyElle]

Those ting ting clips were not the easiest to find and then fit but I do really like how they came out. They seem to be pretty popular too so I'm glad I put the effort in. Glad you liked them too and thank you for this comment!!

[@Dr_Mauser]

Timing skill = God-like. There are millions of AMVs out there, but this really stands out. Not even a song I'm really into, but I keep rewatching it because it's done so well.

[@ShinyElle]

Oh, I'm surprised you liked my video considering you're not into the song! And thank you so much for the compliments - my ego is now massively inflated :)

[@sarah-nt7iw]

the ting ting's got me too

[@fenrisinfernum2343]

Yeah, they are just done perfectly. Especially the first one with Pyrrha decking CRDL.

[@jewelswhite5366]

This is the only RWBY amv you need to watch, honestly. This is pure perfection.

[@ShinyElle]

Oh man, that's so nice of you to say - thank you so much!

[@dphalanx7465]

Well...this and the one somebody did for "Brave Shine." The two of them together pretty much encapsulate the RWBY Experience.

[@johnbeauvais3159]

Saw the title, took a risk that it might be good. Surpassed all expectations. Found original song, not as good as this so here I shall remain.

[@ShinyElle]

Ha, I'm really happy by little vid did me proud! And I'm glad you enjoyed the added sound effects too, thank you for the comment :)

[@johnbeauvais3159]

ShinyElle Thanks for the reply, checked out some of your other videos. Your work is simply outstanding.

[@johnbeauvais3159]

ShinyElle Would you consider doing a RWBY AMV for Nobody praying for me?

[@ShinyElle]

Well thank you for introducing me to such a great song and yes I would consider doing a RWBY vid for it. Right now though I have a few other vids planned so if I do an AMV for it it won't be anytime soon. Also I'm glad you liked my other vids too, thank you!

[@johnbeauvais3159]

ShinyElle Oh yeah, I wouldn't mind waiting glad you liked the song. I was listening to it and just started picturing scenes from the show and went "This needs to be a thing somewhere." After seeing the quality of video you produce I was just amazed and hoping it might happen one day

[@FeamT]

The mixing of SFX from the show with the music is brilliant, and done so well. Can't even imagine how hard it must've been to do it! The AMV is also really fun to watch. Scenes matching lyrics and audio tone so well, yet there's still such a chaotic mix of heavy action, painful drama, and lighthearted comedy - much like the show itself... though it is a pretty jarring transition at certain points :P

[@ShinyElle]

Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! I wanted the video to be a mix of action, humour and tragedy to reflect the show (like you said) and I liked the idea of having moments of fun followed by moments of pain, but I apologise if you found it jarring - that wasn't my intention but I see what what you mean. And I'm also a fan of videos that match clips to the lyrics and beat and use sound effects from the show to heighten the music so it tends to be how I edit - so thanks for saying they're well done. And once more thank you for such a great comment!

[@FeamT]

You're welcome and no need to apologize at all! I think many AMVs often pigeonhole themselves in an attempt to be either too serious or too silly, but no show is actually like that in reality. Maybe 'jarring' wasn't the best word for it. Unpredictable is more like it! So even if seeing some of the heaviest moments of Vol.3 mixed together with.. Weiss landing on Jaune's back for example, is a little surprising, it's still definitely a new experience that represents this show quite a lot better than most :P Looking forward to seeing future things you work on ^^

[@T0-FU808]

+ShinyElle This AMV is the best one I seen from RWBY and I really like the music, it really fit to the scenes and the audio=)👍🏼

[@PanCake274]

That sir, was a really nice comment. You are what we, the not so creative bunch, aspire to become. A *beacon* of inspiration.

[@ShinyElle]

+The Maniacs Thank you so much, I really appreciate it :)

[@PGT860]

every ting ting was so perfect I've never been so pleased with an amv. wonderful work

[@ShinyElle]

Some of those ting ting clips were a nightmare to find but I admit they were worth the effort and time. I'm glad you liked my video and thanks for the comment!

[@PGT860]

also, read the desc; go eat!!

[@ShinyElle]

Ha, I had pizza the day I finished and it was glorious! (And I may have had it the next day too and it was just as glorious :)

[@diwieolaten8777]

I have literally never seen an amv that even comes close to the quality of this one.

[@ShinyElle]

Oh wow, that it quite the compliment, thank you very much!!

[@timlybeck1532]

Diwieo laten sup.

[@diwieolaten8777]

Tim Lybeck you...

[@911eragon1]

give a guy named "primordial paper" a try he makes some pretty awesome ones

[@ShinyElle]

911eragon1 +Primordial Paper makes fantastic RWBY amvs - his Feel Invincible vid is incredible and I absolutely recommend checking him out.

[@pyrrhastarnes8976]

This song somehow sound infinitely better with the added sounds in the background. I don't even like this song normally but this sounds great.

[@ShinyElle]

Thank you, and I'm glad the added sound effects improved the song for you!

[@choir345]

hands down the best amv ive ever seen

[@ShinyElle]

Thank you so much!

[@ablemovies76]

Still one of the absolute best amvs

[@egregastandindus1193]

I prefer dead man’s chest amv from Girls Und Panzer. However this is a close second

[@hm9329]

The choice of scenes and music sync are ASTONISHING.. Absolutely the best RWBY amv since Uptown Funk

[@ShinyElle]

Oh man, that Uptown Funk vid is so damn good! And thank you so much for the comparison :)

[@cherrychocolate1434]

It's been two years since the creator of this amazing series has passed on... Rest in Peace, Monty Oum. We all miss you, and we will never forget you.

[@BrianPlaysHome]

Cherry Chocolate well said.. His legacy will be felt and remembered for years to come! Rip Monty Oum

[@matthewhartley9261]

Preach if you don't know how his voice sounded listen to Rens voice in volume 1.

[@AgentSapphire]

This is probably one of the best AMVs i've ever seen.

[@ShinyElle]

Thank you :)

[@ryansimpson928]

I kinda imagined a video like this would be good, but I was wrong. This is great, the RWBY audio in the background, the different scenes, from happy to sad, all mashed up in one badass, happy, sad, exciting, and beautiful mashup. Thank you for making this.

[@ShinyElle]

Ha, thank you for such a lovely compliment! It's so great to know that you liked all the elements of this vid and that they worked together to make something cohesive and enjoyable. And it's comments like this make all those hours (and hours) of editing worth the time :)

[@jasondoesanime1237]

This AMV proves that you don't need a super fancy editing software that adds a bunch of effects to make something great. Love it, hope you keep up the good work!

[@ShinyElle]

I completely agree - effects can be amazing and editors can create masterpieces with them, but I think simple edits can be just as brilliant (most of my favourite fan vids have very few effects in them). I started editing vids with Windows Movie Maker and while basic it was a great beginners tool and I learnt a lot from it. So yeah, to any wannabe editors out there don't think you need expensive software to create something great - play around with something free and you might be surprised by what you can make! And thank you Dominick :)

[@DarklyBigNozerz]

ShinyElle it's all about timing and you sir have got it down to a T. when I that talk to the animals part came up I was done xD. this also made all those serious scenes just look so comical and I really loved it. good job!

[@ShinyElle]

That animal part was fun to edit if only because it gave me another reason to add Zwei to the vid, but I do like how that bit came out and it's great to know you do too. I'm glad you enjoyed the vid and thank you for all the lovely compliments!!

[@Zithee]

That.... was the best RWBY AMV I've probably ever seen!

[@ShinyElle]

Oh wow, thank you so much, that's so nice of you to say!

[@cinderfell]

holy fuck editing goals tbh

[@ShinyElle]

Dude, are you kidding me? Your videos are amazing! I wish I had even a fraction of your skill with effects!

[@amalgamousgoat6217]

I usually don't like AMVs that leave sound from the clips in but YOU USED THEM PERFETCLY. I'm upset that I didn't find tis sooner! What do you think of Vol 4 so far?

[@ShinyElle]

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you liked the added sound effects! I've only seen two episodes of vol 4 but I'm enjoying what they're setting up though I think I'll get into it more as it goes on. I'm looking forward to seeing what Blake and Yang are up to and how all their storylines will pan out this volume. What are your thoughts on vol 4?

[@amalgamousgoat6217]

I'm certainly loving team WTCH (antagonists) especially Tyrian. The animation is just so GORGEOUS now. Also, since you haven't seen ep 3 yet, watch Blake's ears when you do. I won't say anything about Yang for fear of accidental spoilers.

[@HuntSD]

ShinyElle Finale is this week! So might want to catch up if you haven't. I am so worried about how the Finale is going to go down and how it will set up Volume 5 for Fall release.

[@amalgamousgoat6217]

Death flags for a certain duo, as well. This one shall be intereting. There's a new Grimm based on a creature of Norse or Scottish myth with no skin and the ability to spit poison. Guess what other Norse myth intertwines with RWBY and involves a death by poison. :)

[@ShinyElle]

+HuntSD I caught up on most of them except for the last one and I'm looking forward to the finale, though I have no idea what to expect.

[@ShinyElle]

+Kourin The Hunter I dunno why but youtube's not letting me reply to your comment so I hope you see this here instead: Man, it's so great to know my little video got you into watching RWBY! It's such a fun (and now kinda sad) show and I also can't believe how long it took me to get round to seeing it! Really glad you're still watching this video and finding enjoyment in it - thank you for commenting (and damn youtube for not letting me reply properly)!

[@AceSenko0]

Love this video! I first saw it via tumblr almost a year ago and it got me into watching RWBY. I binged the first 3 seasons and what was out of season 4 at the time in one night xD From that I got very interested in other rooster teeth productions and even achievement hunter since I found out multiple voices from RWBY were there lol. I also got every one of my friends hooked on the show. Now I’m a FIRST member and went to see the vol 5 premiere in theaters! Now this video is almost nostalgic haha. Anyways, just thought it might be interesting to see one of the impacts this little amv has made. ^_^

[@ShinyElle]

I am so sorry I didn't reply to this earlier because it's got to be one of the best comments I've ever had! I am just astounded that my little video not only introduced you to RWBY, but also to Roosterteeth and Achievement Hunter and led to you becoming a FIRST member, I mean that is just crazy to think about! I do love when people share little tidbits about how my video affected them but I never would have imagined I could have had such a large impact on someone and even their friends, haha! It is honestly so heartwarming to read this comment and I am so thankful that you shared this with me

[@Boomken76]

Its why I hope RT never strikes this, its damn fine work and will spark more interest in the show

[@ShinyElle]

Another late reply but thank you so much!! I'm super happy to hear from one of +AceSenko 's friends, especially when you're raving about my vid! I'm so happy you like my edit and thanks for all the praise, it's massively encouraging and very appreciated

[@ShinyElle]

I think I'd cry if RT took this down so fingers crossed that never happens!

[@xstarryknightx6837]

ShinyElle Same, I don't think they will though. This amv was one of the many that got me to watch RWBY as well. I saw this one and was like, yup I am gonna watch this!

[@mailimango1594]

Oh my goodness, this is gold. This is pure gold. Scratch that, DIAMOND. This is the best RWBY AMV I've ever seen, it's so well fit with the song and lines up perfectly! It couldn't get any better than this! :D

[@ShinyElle]

Oh wow, I'm really happy you liked it so much! And calling it diamond - what a generous description!! Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely comment, it's very kind of you :)

[@mailimango1594]

Oh, it really is a great AMV. You should be proud, I was just stating the truth :D

[@carboyCA]

Is it glitter too?

[@rubyrose9367]

*Sobbing uncontrollably.*. S-SO GOOD!!! BUT THE MEMORIES ARE SO PAINFUL;;; ;-;

[@ShinyElle]

I'm glad you enjoyed it... I think...

[@WaitingxInxSilence]

I love this! I think you balanced the serious and silly well, and the sound effects really add to it.

[@ShinyElle]

Thank you, I'm really glad you liked how I edited this!

[@Coyoteari]

This is beautifully synced!!

[@ShinyElle]

Thank you!!

[@badmicgaming]

I feel like I should tell you that whenever I want to listen to this song, I play this AMV instead of the plain audio because I can no longer hear it without the sound effects. Subsequently, I just end up watching it over and over again, haha. Thank you for this masterpiece ^°^!

[@blackpapermoon2023]

One of the best RWBY amvs I have seen. Great work!

[@ShinyElle]

Thank you :)

[@0jaybird0]

God, the last time I watched this was when I was in 8th grade, and I graduated high school this year. I’m still amazed at how well done this is! The music synced up perfectly, and I love how you mixed in the SFX from the show. Congrats on 1 million views!

[@ShinyElle]

Your comment made me check when this was first uploaded and I can't believe it's been over 5 years - when did all that time pass?! But I'm super pleased you popped back again and I'm really happy you still like this vid and think it still stands up! Thank you so much for your comment, compliments, and the congrats!

[@SachitheCat]

This is the best edited thing I've ever seen. Like it matches the rhythm... TEACH ME YOUR WAYS!!!

[@ShinyElle]

Aww, thank you so much! And trust me, I still have plenty to learn myself :)

[@williamlaney1176]

Had to watch again after finishing another v3 rewatch... still so fucking amazing as the first time I found this video. The timing for the beats is on point and the song blends so well with the vibe of those early volumes. No doubt my favorite RWBY AMV of all time.

[@JuanPintor]

Oh my god, how have I not seen this?? This is absolutely fantastic. I love the ting ting syncs and the overall editing and pretty much everything about this.

[@ShinyElle]

Oh, thank you so much, Juan! I didn't know you watched RWBY but I'm thrilled you liked my video!! And how are you doing? Got any videos you're working on at the moment?

[@JuanPintor]

ShinyElle You're welcome! I'm doing alright. I've just been really busy with work so I haven't been able to work on videos as much I'd like to. But I do have a few in the works like some new AH Heist Dubs, a new superhero one, another sad RvB video, and a video game one. But anyways, how have you been?

[@ShinyElle]

Ooh a new AH heist dubs? I can't wait! Seriously they're some of my fav AH vids! Actually if you need any help with the audio I might be able to suggest some quotes from their GTA V that I've noted while I've been editing my own vids. I dunno if they'll work for you or not but if you're struggling for any particular quote it's possible I might have found something. And I'm good, I'm currently working on another Fake AH Crew vid and have a few others in the pipeline that will probably take forever to finish. Looking forward to seeing your vids when they're done though :)

[@JuanPintor]

ShinyElle Cool I can't wait to see your new stuff. And yeah I would totally appreciate the help! I'm making a bank heist video with Gavin, Michael, Geoff and Ryan and a Pacific Rim video with Gavin and Michael. If anything comes to mind, let me know!

[@ShinyElle]

I think I have some quotes that might work. If you add me on the RT site (I mean assuming you have a profile on there and that works for you) I'll message you a list. You can find my profile here: roosterteeth.com/user/ShinyElle

[@thatguythere6161]

Now when I listen to the original, I feel like something is missing when I don't hear the sound effects from rwby. Good job. The sound effects could have easily been annoying but you've made them work well with the music.

[@evernewb2073]

for some reason I see that a lot more with this specific song than others, even better they often do it in different ways.

[@raediant3307]

I got chills this was so well timed?? Like everything is put together so perfectly. I love it. Good work !!

[@ShinyElle]

My video gave you chills? Oh man, what a compliment! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a nice comment - I really appreciate it!

[@raediant3307]

No problem, man!!

[@doggieofdoom]

In my experience, all of the greatest AMVs make me want to binge the entire series all over again. You have definitely achieved that.

[@ShinyElle]

Oh I do that too whenever I watch an brilliant amv I just want to watch the show immediately! And it's so awesome that my vid had that effect on you, thank you for sharing this with me!!

[@bel410la]

Torchwicks EHHH? Always makes me laugh and it was perfect in this AMV. XD Also gotta say this is probably my favorite AMV ever, I love how the beat lines up with something happening. I just also love the little voice lines that chip in every once and a while from the show, like Boop, Zwei Barking, Nora Laughing, Ruby going Kacha in the first episode, and the whole RWBY team shouting for the food fight.

[@ShinyElle]

I'm so happy you like my vid so much! And you picked out a bunch of little moments that I really enjoyed putting in the video so I'm glad you liked those parts too (I think Zwei barking might be my favourite but that could be because I have a soft spot for him).

That's awesome, I'm thrilled that you enjoy my video so much!! And I'm glad it's getting you hyped about RWBY - I can't wait to see where it goes in the 4th volume!

[@AngelBirdo]

Man, I remember finding this ages ago. It was my favorite video on KZbin for a solid while. It's so nostalgic. RWBY today has... well, regardless of how you feel about the show's writing, I'm sure we can all agree that there *was* potential. I'm really not looking to start a fight, but this video makes me feel emotional in a way I really can't explain. It reminds me of a simpler time, I guess.

[@minticore1942]

What really makes this AMV great is hearing the sounds from the show in time with the music. The song also puts RWBY in a much more mature light and the clips look random at first glance but appear rather strategically placed if you dig into it.

[@ShinyElle]

Sometimes I feel like this vid looks like I threw everything at the wall and ran with whatever stuck but I did actually put a lot of thought into the clip choices and tried to edit it into a showcase of RWBY as a whole. And yeah, I think those sound effects are what makes this vid and people seem to really like them, which, ya know, always a bonus. Thank you so much for the comment and I'm very glad you enjoyed my vid :)

[@stargazzerr]

Coming back to this 5 years later, this video makes me so sad. I used to love rwby and its just not as good as it used to be. I miss the old rwby man. This video still slaps tho!

[@michealdrake3421]

Just to expand on this, I love how this video so perfectly encapsulates everything RWBY is about. The action, the drama, and the humor is all there. While so many other videos focus on just one aspect or another, I feel like someone could use this AMV as a shorthand for what to expect from the series. I've watched this video probably half a dozen times since I first saw it and I still love it.

[@ShinyElle]

Damn, what a nice way to expand on you original comment!! I did try to make this as kind of a showcase of the series and include different aspects of RWBY (action, drama, humour - like you said) so it's just great to know that I've achieved my goal!! And I'm glad that you're still enjoying this to watch it so much, wow!!

I like when videos use sound effects from the show to add to the music so I do try and do that in my videos where I can. I'm so happy you like my video and thank you for taking the time to comment :)

[@cookiesandcream1789]

This is hands down the best amv ever.

[@cookiesandcream1789]

BTW if you see this comment you might just be the best creator ever bc of the fact that you comment on most people's post. You, my friend are truly amazing.

[@ShinyElle]

Thank you! And I always try to reply to every comment I get seeing as how someone took the time to leave it for me (though I don't always respond as quickly as I should).

[@fanofsomething9144]

I never noticed till now every time is says back room shows the vilians and front room shows heroes thaw was amazing

[@ShinyElle]

You know, you might be the first person in four years to catch that detail (or at least the first person to comment it to me)! Thank you for noticing!!

[@SmoothEnigma]

This feel like something you might see as a promotion for a premier or finale

[@ShinyElle]

I'd vote for finale with all them spoilers I put in :) Thanks for thinking it's that good though!

[@leviraedts6802]

I saw this two years ago. I'd never seen RWBY, I didn't know anything about it, and I forgot it existed until recently. My first thought when I saw the animation style? "Oh hey, that's from the Glitter and Gold AMV" This shit stuck with me. It's... Breathtaking, honestly. Fantastic work.

[@ShinyElle]

That's really awesome that a random vid from a show you knew nothing about managed to stick with you for so long!! Thank you so much for sharing and for all the lovely compliments - it really means a lot!!

[@crowkerus]

i showed my mom this video because it really really makes me want to do a lyric comic for glitter and gold, and now she is interested in watching rwby. thank you shinyelle and your wonders of video manipulation

[@ShinyElle]

Oh man that's so great that my vid got your mum interested in RWBY - is she much of an anime fan? You should absolutely do a lyric comic for the song, I bet it would be awesome. Also Glitter and Gold is such a fun song to work with, I still love it so much even after hearing it so many times and after so long - hopefully you'll find it just as inspiring to work with :)

[@crowkerus]

she doesn't watch anime, or anything really besides like..... reality shows? this should be interesting thank you for the encouragement!! :D

[@Krolshi]

God damn child, this is fucking awesome, like hfs. If this was in a MV competition this would be a winner for me.

[@ShinyElle]

Oh wow, thank you!! I'm really happy you liked it so much :)

[@1RoundInTheChamber]

Christ on a trike, this was beautiful.

[@ShinyElle]

Ha, thanks man!

[@stephsdlnthms3957]

Wow...that is so impressive. Not many people are capable of utilizing the sound of the org. video to actually improve their vid (at least, not well). Seriously, GREAT JOB! Bad*ss and funny at the same time :)

[@ShinyElle]

I am amazed at how much everyone seems to like the addition of the show's sound effects, and really glad I choose to put them in! I'm really happy you enjoyed my vid and thank you so much for the lovely compliments!

[@Vracer111]

+ShinyElle It's because of the way the original sounds were incorporated...not lines of speech but sounds thought out to go and flow with the music as musical notes, whether on purpose or by accident. Most other attempt at sounds and speechs in RWBY AMV's I've seen don't really add to the video, more than often it does harm to the AMV. What you've done here is make a masterpiece of a RWBY AMV using original sounds to support the song and visuals....there are zero RWBY AMV's that have previously done that successfully. It's a one of a kind video.

[@ShinyElle]

Wow, that is some massive praise! Yeah I totally get why editors have trouble with using RWBY's original sounds - it can be difficult (or at least fiddly) adding them. A lot of the time it's trying to isolate the sounds (which frustratingly doesn't always happen) and finding a balance between the sound effects and the music used in RWBY, and then making sure the sound fits with the song and the clip (and it doesn't always work out and that means a lot of wasted time, but it's still necessary). On the other hand sometimes accidents work out, like at 0.50 with Cinder fighting Ozpin I didn't think I would be able to use the show's sounds since the music was so loud but I actually loved how it made the song more epic and it flowed better than I hoped into Ruby yelling 'Pyrrha!'. Didn't mean to ramble on there but I guess it gives an idea of how I edit. It was great to get this comment (and all it's lovely praise) so thank you very much for leaving it :)

[@CourtneyIsSleepy]

+ShinyElle i love this thread & i agree with everything in it! I've commented on this video before but I keep coming back to it because of this exact reason!

[@ShinyElle]

Thank you and I'm glad to hear you keep coming back :)

[@juliazieba5253]

Great , I've never seen such perfect timing in any AMV before (especially the prom scene at 0:16). It's way better than original version thanks to the SFX. I can watch over and over again ^^ The song perfectly suits RWBY ...well, this vid is just speechlessly perfect

[@ShinyElle]

Oh wow, thank you so much for such a lovely comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed my clip choices (the prom scene moment was one of the early clips I added and I always loved how it turned out) as well as the added SFX and I also thought the song made for a great RWBY amv. Again, thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice comment - it's very appreciated

[@RinaRavyn]

oh my GAWD LITERALLY EVERY FUCKING FRAME FITS IN SOME WAY TO THE LYRICS!!!! THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!^!!! *cries in feels*

[@ShinyElle]

Aww, thank you!! I really tried to fit the clips to the lyrics as best I could so it's wonderful that you noticed!!

[@monochromekaleidoscope3806]

I'm in love with a video and of course Rwby!!!

[@ShinyElle]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

[@watchinnow535]

This is 4 years ago but they timed the song saying “valley of kings “ and showed I pin like no spoilers but if uve watched the rest of the series how on earth have they predicted that?!?

[@ShinyElle]

I'm a bit behind but I'm now looking forward to seeing what I totally on purpose predicated!

[@agentmark4499]

I really never seen this series before but I have heard of it I like to know if the series is as good as they

[@ShinyElle]

@@agentmark4499 I like it but I know it's not to everyone's taste. The episodes are only 10-15 mins so it might be worth watching a few to see if it's something you'd enjoy.

[@agentmark4499]

@@ShinyElle thanks i'll keep that un mind

[@joostloftus1285]

Can't stop loving rwby

[@ShinyElle]

Why would you? :)

[@Pebphiz]

This is officially my favorite AMV that I've seen, by anyone, from any show, ever.

[@ShinyElle]

Oh wow, thank you - I'm absolutely thrilled you liked it so much!

[@andante_ace]

Oh my GOD, you don't know how long I've been trying to refind this video. I saw it uploaded to Tumblr ages ago, and I fell in love with the song and the video and wanted to start watching the series. But then I forgot to save the video and forgot the song. No amount of combinations between "rwby amv video tumblr" helped me find this thing. Then just today, I happened to click another AMV in my recommended videos with the title Glitter and Gold, and as soon as I heard it, I remembered this was the song that was in your video, and refound you again. Long story short, this AMV is amazing and I love it.

[@ShinyElle]

Oh it is so annoying when you're trying to search for something on tumblr! I swear I've wasted hours of my life looking for posts on there - it really has the worst searching system. But hey, I'm so glad you managed to stumble on my vid and I'm thrilled you liked it enough to leave me this lovely message, which thank you, by the way! I always love to hear how people came across my vids so I really appreciate you taking the time to leave this comment sharing your long journey here! Thanks again :)

[@knuckles1016]

The restart button hit me hard I’ve watched this like 7 times

[@ShinyElle]

Haha, thank you for the views!

[@thegooddoctor413]

This is very well edited

[@ShinyElle]

Thank you :)

[@thegooddoctor413]

Hard work should be rewarded and this is awesome have you tried entering contests with amv's?

[@ShinyElle]

I wouldn't even know where to begin looking for contests. Also I'm just the slowest editor so I doubt I'd get anything in on time, but thanks for thinking my amv's would be good enough for a contest!!

[@thegooddoctor413]

Vermillion hosts them i think

[@MedorraBlue]

You're a god(dess) of timing. Hnnnggggg

[@ShinyElle]

Thanks!!

[@silydragon5510]

I think this is the only AMV with actual background noise rather than just the song. And that makes it infinitely better

[@ShinyElle]

I love AMVs with background noise so I'm super happy you like it too! Thanks for the comment!

[@chaosXP3RT]

This video was an emotional rollercoaster. Proves just how good a show RWBY is! Great job! One of favorite AMVs ever!

[@ShinyElle]

Aww, thank you, I'm so glad you like it that much!!

[@keybladewizard49]

THIS IS AMAZING BUT ALSO HOW DARE YOU

[@ShinyElle]

I dared :)

you dared and I love you for it -sob-

Fantastic!

[@ShinyElle]

Thanks!

[@Teal_is_Real]

I still can't get over Romans "eeeehhhh!!" At 0:31 😂 Seriously well done for this whole video. Instant like

[@ShinyElle]

That was one of the earliest clips I added because I love that moment so much and I'm glad it mixed well with the song. I'm very happy you liked it and the whole video too!

[@KianeChulaKing]

This is INCREDIBLE! Wow, You have a gift for finding JUST the right song and scenes!

[@ShinyElle]

Oh, thank you so much! I'm really glad you like my song and clip choices :)

[@buckymarlowe8069]

It's the best song and the best show ever

[@buckymarlowe8069]

Yes I

[@ShinyElle]

Yeah I thought the two would make a good combination :)

[@aldovesper1362]

[@ShinyElle]

I was so confused for a moment but then it made me laugh so thank you for the comment :)

[@butlerkitty]

i cant listen to the original song bc this is so??? good

[@ShinyElle]

Well I'm glad the incorporation of the show's sound effects were a positive addition to the song for you :)

[@butlerkitty]

+ShinyElle they really were

[@larisablackledge4980]

I've been rewatching RWBY which reminded me of this, so I had to come back and watch it again. Still my favorite amv, probably ever. You made the sounds of RWBY match up so well with the music. Love RWBY.

[@Snowmanbutternips]

I have searched far and wide for the greatest rwby AMV ever created, and I am proud to announce that I have officially found it.

[@ShinyElle]

Oh wow, if that isn't the best kind of praise I don't know what is!! Thank you so much for such a great comment!

[@ShinyElle]

This video is so old now...

[@salamander5874]

This is astounding! I first saw this about two weeks ago, and to be honest, it's what got me into RWBY in the first place, so I've gotta thank you there!

[@ShinyElle]

That's awesome that this got you into RWBY - I feel like I'm doing a good job of spreading my love of the show! I'm so happy you liked this and thanks for the comment!

[@kamica0]

Honestly this is my favorite RWBY video now! Amazing job! I wish my edits were this flawless

[@ShinyElle]

Oh wow, it blows my mind that you like my video enough to make it a favourite of yours! Thank you so much for telling me and for the compliments!
