Song: Fiction by Sumika

some tidbits

- i have been thinking of making something like this for weeks now. Joel mentioned anime intro and i had to lock in

- Before actually working on anything though, I had to think what was the genre I wanted for this opening. I tried to emulate the silliness and comedic nature of Joel’s editing while also capturing the beautiful Japanese Cyberpunk base he has. So I settled on a Slice of Life Shoujo-esque comedy anime! With the cherry blossoms as well, it felt very fitting. (I also thought of making it very vfx heavy to accent the cyberpunk-ness? But thats too much for 3am dan.)

- afterwards, i tried to choose a slice of life opening that led many songs into the download files! Openings from Horimiya, Kimi no Todoke, Your Lie in April, Ouran High School Host Club, Skip and Loafer, Dungeon Meshi (OP2) Bocchi the Rock and Saiki K were in the discussion room (aka, my brain)

- While editing, I kept certain office life animes in mind like ‘My New Boss is Goofy,’ ‘Wotakoi,’ ‘A Sign of Affection,’ ‘Cherry Magic,’ and ‘Uramichi Onii-san’ so I could focus on that ‘Shoujo’ and ‘Work-life Balance’ themes in the video.

- I actually did not edit this in my usual program! Instead of working on my PC (After Effects CC 2019) I worked on this with my phone on CapCut. It is currently 3am I really could not be bothered to get up and edit on my PC.

I DEFINITELY DID NOT FORGET TO POST THIS HERE HAHA (been up on my twitter for a week now)
