Pandora works crazily hard. This is really useful for anyone trying to do advance video edits.
Some FAQs about the concert I just released that I’ve been getting!
Q) Did you edit all the videos?
A) Yes!
Q) Did you mix all the songs?
A) Yes!
Q) Where did you find all the assets for the videos?
A) Motion Array, Adobe stock, AC-illust, and booth! Some websites I have a subscription, and some I had to buy the assets for. I know I didn’t really need to buy stuff but, when I saw an asset that fit perfectly with my idea, I knew I needed it.
Q) How did you come up with all the ideas for the music videos?
A) Some were inspired by the original songs lyrics/music videos, and others I made more original. One is based off the anime it’s an opening for. Sometimes the original music video is very plain so I had to be creative.
Q) What programmes did you use for everything?
A) Adobe photoshop, Audition, After Effects and Premiere Pro.
Q) Why did you make the videos like music videos?
A) I wanted to create a unique concert experience. I also know I’m not a good mixer, so I wanted to make the videos special!
Q) Why didn’t you hire someone to mix?
A) That’s an expense I don’t have the money for.
Q) How long did it take to do everything?
A) Depending on the amount of people in the song, and how much free time I had in the day… one song/video could take 1 - 3 days to make. If I was pushing out a video in one day, I would have to force myself to edit for 12 hours.
Q) Why does it take so long?
A) Adobe likes to crash.
Q) What was the easiest video to make?
A) Moon Pride because the idea was very much just - Moons and Castles! And also, Mikakunin (ASS) took me 1 day to make.
Q) What was the most difficult video to make?
A) There was 3 - Sakura Minna Tabeta cause it kept crashing every time I saved it so I had to render it in very small chunks. This was due to the first chorus scene having too many videos playing at once in the polaroids. Then there’s Kanashimi Twilight cause the original MV is sorta plain so I needed to come up with a cool idea. And finally Please Mini Skirt Post Woman cause I had so many ideas I wanted to put in.
Q) How much sleep did you get during the process of making all these?
A) 2-4 hours a night.
Q) Are you planning another?
A) Yeh! :D Even though it was a lot of work, and I had to push it back several times, I had fun.
Q) Is it hard to keep track of all the lines and video submissions.
A) Yes!!!! 😭
Q) Do you have a favourite video that you made?
A) I love them all. I really think Relax is quite an interesting video due to how it flows.
Q) Is there something about the videos you want people watching to notice?
A) Every video has a theme throughout, sometimes not so obvious. Some videos have hidden text in them, some have a story, sometimes have 6 7 jokes, but all use colours relating to the vtubers!
Q) Why are you doing a Q and A with yourself?
A) I’m on the toilet.
