life in technicolour [YNTV - Instrumental Challenge]

I thought I would be the first YNTV entry to be uploaded, since I was really scrambling to get this done, but noooo, apparently there are five others up before me
HOW DO THESE PEOPLE EDIT SO FAST I DO NOT UNDERSTAND

Ahem anyway.

This little sucker is done! Whoo. And just in time before the deadline, too. Because I have a shorter deadline than the others. I'm leaving today *(Edit: Sorry I mean TOMORROW, XD) for a three-week-holiday, so that means I can't edit in that time.

OK I know what you're thinking. 'Effects diet my ASS,' and you're right, for someone who's apparently exhausted with effects, she's sure spent a lot of time putting them in. However, I really wanted to try out the 3D effects, and so I decided to balance it out with other effects. And this song also seemed ... effecty, to me. xD OK, OK, so I just went with my instinct. Don't worry I have quite a few effectless videos in the making, just hang tight.

...In fact, I was actually hoping this would be a No Effects challenge...
But I was still just as excited when I saw we'd have to make an instrumental video. I'd been itching to make an instrumental for ages, but never really got around to doing it...And I panicked a fair bit because I didn't have any idea what to do xD I considered Muse stuff, then changed my mind and went for (what I thought was) the easy route.

meh, this wasn't easy, but nor was it hard, I guess... However it was downright enjoyable. I love this song. And I picked it also partially because Coldplay is one of my favorite bands and I found it absolutely blasphemous that I haven't vidded to their stuff yet :O

Ooh and, also...I know we were STRONGLY encouraged to use voiceovers, and there are none in this video. Now, I did think about this, and I realized, 'what quotes would I put in there anyway? Some cliche, cheesy, over-used emotional bit of dialouge that everyone's heard before? Not gonna happen.' I decided to just let the clips speak for themselves and resonate love and life and all that other groovy jazz :]

but moving on...So, you see those pretty little effects? Like the ones at 0:43? 3D effects, baby. CatGv's video pretty much blew me away, and, well, one thing led to another. I decided to get off my lazy ass and watch a tutorial to see how it was done. I swear, mucking around with that thing was SO. FUN. =D So thanks, Cat, and EVERYONE GO CHECK OUT HER SEXTASTIC VIDEO = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoHzLSig3Nc

Anyway...I suppose that's all. I can't think of anything else to ramble on. Oh, no, wait, I can!!
You're not going to believe this. I started rendering this, went to sleep, when I woke up IT WAS STILL RENDERING WTF XD Dear God my Vegas is slow.

Oh, and I got a bit lazy towards the end...hope it isn't too noticeable ^^"

Heh...For some reason I REALLY love the El Dorado parts, probably because the movie is my current drug (and so is the pairing, but that's besides the point X3)

PS/ I actually never thought that the scene with Kiara & Kovu in the cookie cutters would be so popular...xD

That was such a beautiful and upbeat video!!!!! And I just adore this song! ^^

Is this a "literal" instrumental version of the life in technicolor with lyrics? I'm only asking because I don't recognize that part starting at 0:45. I must say, it's very catchy!

[Keyinei]

From what I know there are two versions of this song, one instrumental, one not, and to complicate things further there are instrumental versions of the lyrical version X___X

I honestly don't know, sorry XD

[bubbleforest]

I LOVE this vid. It makes me so happy every time I watch it. :D So cool of you to use Disney animation! The editing is amazing too, I love love LOVE the 3D effects. Favorite for sure. :D

[Keyinei]

thanks SO much! haha, Disney animation is really my forte, it's my regular media :P Occasionally I dive into the world of anime (and hopefully live action in the near future) but yeah, I'm obsessed with children's classics

[ebolaoutkast]

Btw, advice about the high quality, I put my videos on private until the HD comes in ;) What's this about an effect diet? :o Yeah i feel like I should go back to that too, I just get too damn excited over effecty ideas. This song definitely benefits by them, don't force yourself to go effectless until the song calls you to it x)

Ha, I agree with you about the voice over thing, that gets way overdone sometimes.

[Keyinei]

oh; and thanks for the advice on the HQ stuff. Definitely going to do that in the future 8D

[ebolaoutkast]

You're leaving for THREE weeks?.. :'( I agree with the others, that part with Kiara and Kovu was just ace! I love the composition of that scene and many others. I thought the hula scenes where a taad bit overused, but yay for the road to El Dorado =D. Dang you're a fast leaner, already with the 3D effects and pressuring me to try them xD but it will be a while before I ask my tired brain of that. Your use of them here complimented the song perfectly.
