Why Did I Film This? Furry Weekend Atlanta 2022

One of the challenges I made for myself was to only use music made by other members of the furry fandom in this convention video. I thought initially it would be a challenge to find artists and producers that would make the right type of music that would fit with my editing style, but low and behold I was completely wrong. Out of all the vlogs that I have made thus far, this one easily has the best soundtrack to it due to the many talented and fantastic musicians in the fandom.
Each song used is time-stamped below along with the title of the song, the Artist, and a link to their music collection:
(0:24-3:07) “Cheat Code” by Ark8de ( / tracks )
(3:17-5:27) “Parkway” by Alloud ( / tracks )
(5:40-8:27) “Powerup” by Duzzled ( / tracks )
(8:33-11:36) “Aurora 2” by Codazed and LiquidFyre ( / @codazed )
(11:43-15:34) “Failed Simulation” by Retri Feat. Starblade ( / @retrifox )
(15:42-16:42) “Oasis” by Anthemics ( / @anthemics464 )
(16:47-18:20) “Its Easy (Instrumental Club Mix)” by Quibble ( / tracks )
(18:27-19:29) “Crazy_Dub” by ZEN ( / tracks )
(19:35-21:20) “On the Regular” by The Stumps (thestumps.band...)
(21:29-23:38) “Log” by The Stumps (thestumps.band...)
(24:00-26:37) “Caution” by Paramiere ( / tracks )
(26:40-28:09) “Estuary” by The Stumps (thestumps.band...)
(28:22-29:51) “Surroundings” by Paramiere and Apexia ( / tracks )
I am honored by all these wonderful artists for letting me use their work in the creation of this video.
Thank you.
And to all those who have read this far, I hope you all enjoy the longest and most time consuming ‘Why Did I Film This?” to date!

[@booplebuns9772]

you made me realize that this was the reason how I deeply fell inlove with the fandom ( ; o ; )

[@dvdjrv7976]

The period of time between the last two videos has been enough for my music taste to change radically But not enough to not enjoy every track featured here. I'm quite pleased. Man I should really go practice..

[@oriongalaxyfpv3147]

GOD i cannot describe how GOOD it is to hear your voice again after all this time Zillion watching this takes me all the way back to 2018-2019 when i first watched your WDIFTs , and discovered the fandom whitout your con vlogs , i wouldnt be here , sitting on soon 4 years of achievements , artist career , amazing friends , and my beloved sona / suit i needed this dose of nostalgia , and happiness , from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU 💜

[@thefoxpine]

I accidentally converted myself and found these videos around the same time, and I still experience intense nostalgia when I watch them. These videos age like fine wine.

[@zeldafreak765]

You captured not only the spirit of FWA, but a snapshot of the fandom as well. Choosing to use music created by members of the community adds such a sense of life to the whole video, as well as to the overall manic yet creative vibe. The structure of the editing also just matches your "bouncing off the walls" attitude, even when you're dead tired and stealing an ENTIRE CASE OF REDBULL to stay some semblance of awake (and yes y'all, I've seen this in person, lol). But underneath all the sass and jokes about fursuit butts, you can see how much love was poured into making this. Intermingled with the crazy are hanging shots on particular views - skylines, people drawing, virtual reality presentations, groups of friends. Regardless of what we're seeing, the focus stays on the people that make up the whole of what furry IS, and how we share our passions. Addition's like Wyatt's birthday party are sweet reminders of how we celebrate each other, among many other ways. Whether it's the celebration of the incredibly diverse cast of furry's dance scene, or the circle of friends you hold close - thank you. For giving them voices, and for reminding us of how fortunate we are to have a community so centered on building each other up. 🧡

Seeing all these well designed suits just absolutely melts my brain

[@KillerDragain]

you really did post this just as my fursuit fixation was going away now it's back in full force

[@thetexanhusky]

My god. It's been so long! Great to see you again!

[@stratos2]

You outdid yourself on the dance show edits, they were amazing, so energetic and on the beat

[@PRWolf]

I have said it before and I will say it again, the way Zill manages to capture the feel and energy of a convection is always so wonderful. Weather it’s just the small dumb moments like waiting for lifts, inside dumb jokes or the Epic dance competitions. Also the way you got to record some experiences of people publicly suiting at a con for the first time is always wonderful to see too. Excellent editing, storytelling, use of music and pacing! This is a video to show people when they ask “so what is it like at a furry con?”

[@staticthedeer]

The definition of chaotic energy has returned! Woo

[@maffdoesart5394]

BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS!!! Redbull™ Love what you do man! A couple years ago I stumbled onto your videos and it caused me to reach out to local furs. We've probably chanced into each other since then, but I appreciate ya for the fun times you've indirectly caused since then!

[@POSTPUP]

8:39 okay, I may have tried to bribe the front desk worker, but I did not know you were filming and therefore I CANNOT be held liable in a court of law 😌

[@thefoxpine]

I was so overjoyed when I woke up to this video on my home page! Your con videos were among the first I saw after I became a furry in 2019, and they remain my favorite to this day (especially the Anthrocon 2018 video). These videos have stuck with me as I've "grown up" in the fandom, and they remind me how incredible it is to be part of such a creative, accepting, and wonderful fandom, especially when life is hard and it's easy for me to turn away from my interests, or worse, consider giving up on everything. I can't fathom life without the fandom, and I don't think I'll ever be able to fully express how much these videos mean to me. It's good to see you back again!

[@Azimuthlumen]

The nostalgia I'm getting from watching this...I binged all the WDIFT vids that were out when I was just looking into the fandom, and now there's a new one! So hype :3

[@bradenhunter9002]

Man where the hell have you been. I just watched your video reflecting on 2018, and I cannot believe I missed you on the internet for this many years. I relate to your story a lot and I have recently found myself in the worst part of my life. I just recently moved into this really shitty little town just south of Edmonton AB, and I have been feeling worse than ever. I didn’t feel great about myself before but now it is just so much worse. Recently I have been almost unable to get out of bed in the morning, I just can’t see the point to it. I go to school and I sit alone in silence all day just waiting to have a break, and when I finally get home I just kinda lay around, I don’t have the motivation to do anything. I don’t ever really show this stuff, I have never told a single soul about this, and I think it just bubbles up inside since I am so scared to show emotion around others, even myself. I have kept so much locked away recently that I think it was building up to something I’ll regret. I can’t express how your videos have given me a light, they make me laugh and they help me take my mind off things. Hearing the story you told in your confessions video has given me some hope that I can get out of this. I don’t want to rant too much here so I tried to keep this brief-ish, but I really just wanted to say thank you.

[@xtremeCJxxx]

Bro, you literally said the exact dilemma I'm going through because I too am in a shitty town in Alberta!!!! I give you maaaaaad PROMPTS for your courage to say this out loud since we all need our voices to be heard! I also became a furry in June due to the exact situation that your experiencing in your paragraph , and I know how it feels to be an outsider to since I currently have no friends or anybody to talk to!!! Your comment really touched my heart, and I really encourage that you find some furries in Edmonton!!! P.S I know a furry there that you might want to meet if your that interested! 😉

[@GadszKitsune]

The reason I am currently working on a con video from my country was this series, its always good to see a new video to inspire and give motivation!

[@P-P-Panda]

[@Bleodafi]

FWA this year was one of the best cons ive ever attended, especially with the past few years of it being literally non-exsistant it was a massive refresh of everything that is to come and continue within the furry fandom great video, and was great seeing you their too! :3c

[@DisposalFur]

Thanks so much Zillion! A full half hour of anti depressant sure does come in handy... And next year I'll finally be hitting my first con! So much to look forward to in life, kinda sad I get so down sometimes.

[@theartisticargonian6924]

I was so happy to see this pop up in my notifications, it's great to see this chaos make a return! These sorts of videos really make me want to attend a convention like this someday because you make it look like such a fun time. It's good to have you back. Also random note, as an acrophobe that hotel looks amazing but also kind of terrifying to me. Anyone else?

[@SkTrooper2008]

Finally! One of my favorite KZbin channels posted again! Time to re-watch the whole series... again.

[@dannyracc]

Absolutely amazing vid man. Love all the music in it and the goofy shenanigans you get up to with friends. This proves you appreciate the quality of how the content is presented compared to the quantity of content made. Even though there's plenty of content in this, of course

[@TocaOculta]

I'm glad you're back, returning with the series I love the most 💙🐲

[@finchr00tz]

zillion. oh zillion. oh my god. your 2019 con videos got me into the fandom and i cannot express to you just how important you are to me and so many others. im getting back into the fandom after the years of drama circulating for no good reason and im finally excited to try my hand at making a suit again. specifically your videos, the ones where you film your friends all just having a good time at cons and spending time together make me feel so so so at home. i hope i get to meet you at a con sometime just to say hi and thank you. i just. i. GUH i love your videos so much!!!!!!

I'm very glad to hear my very first furry convention without Tilt Longtail was pretty hard, but it was worth it. and i like to say one thing you know that Tilt Longtail was probably the best Anthrocon attendant there is going to be in furry fandom. and nobody would ever replace him, and I think we all know that so. I would hope that you guys don't expect me to replace him because nobody will.

[@jakewusky]

You made my week with this! All the stress gone in some happy shenanigans at a Fur Con! Thanks Zillion!

Ive been in the furry community off and on for the past 7 years and man. Its been hard. Kinda why ive been off and on, or even just not in it at all. But these videos and the way things have gotten better im gonna try getting back into it and getting better at my art skill to finally make a fursona! Much love to you, love these videos!

[@paramiere]

Surprised to hear two of my tracks in the video! They're fairly old, but I'm happy you used them, great video too!

[@ImaginativelyUnimaginative]

When I heard your stuff I pretty much knew something of yours was going to end up in the video. These were the two tracks that I went with due to how well they worked within their respective parts to portray the emotion I was going for

It's great to see these videos, even if they are rare. The amount of work that goes into something amazing like this is inspiring! Keep up the great work! 😄
