I am floored by the response to this video, thank you all for watching and leaving such lovely comments! You don't realize how motivating it's been to know that something I was nervous about posting bc I haven't properly edited in years has been received so positively. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the kindness & I hope future videos won't let you down ♥♥♥ Much love, Lyssa
@@heartstations thank you💓 ive still been watching this daily. i like how at the end we can see how riku is sora's sunlight too, at least that's what i thought. overall the song and storytelling is just perfect and has me hyped for replaying all the games! thank you for replying on an older video, too!
I love this! So beautiful! The parallels of darkness(riku) and (sora)light and how it fits each word of the song. It's really amazing. Basically this video is how to explain soriku down to it's core.
Oh no I hope you feel better soon! The flu is brutal. ..But thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me know you enjoyed this, I’m so glad! 😭✨
This video is fantastic and the parallels drawn between the scenes and the song are wonderfully edited together. Thank you for making this it was a great watch
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for watching! Editing this made me emotional just to see all the clips in one place & the magnitude of love these two have 💙✨
@@heartstations It's so inspirational 😭 I'm curious, did you add the text and color effects in Vegas too? So much of this I usually see done in After Effects, I would love to know something this cool is possible with just Vegas!
AuroraPeachy Yep, all done in SV! For some of the text I used motion tracking (it’s one of the buttons on the front of every video track) to make it seem like it stays in one place while the rest of the clip is moving. It’s kinda time-consuming but I love the results & don’t currently have After effects so it’s worth it for sure. & for stuff like AnsemRiku standing in front of the text I masked every Riku frame in pan/crop, saved each mask frame, & then put those mask frames on the text itself & set it to negative to make it look like he’s moving in front of the text. I did the same thing in other places, like with the heartless going over the text in the graveyard scene. The coloring I used a mix of channel blend fx & messed with other things like brightness, saturation & soft contrast (i did use some newblue fx plugins but you can probably get the same effect without them). Hope that’s helpful 💗💗✨
@@heartstations WOW! Thank you so much! ♥ I had no idea most of these features were right in SV :O Again, unbelievable job with editing and sync, I've probably watched this 20 times already and it's still so emotional ;_;
I think the editing is absolutely amazing. It captures their journey together perfectly and I love Soriku. The only thing I didn't like was the song. It wasn't of my taste, but that doesn't stop me from saying that this is an amazing AMV. Thank you.
MemoriesOfRain I ended up entering a few days ago, thank you so much for letting me know about it or else I wouldn’t have been able to at all! Happy New Year ✨ (& I hope you feel better asap!)
Oh dang, thank you so much! I’m so happy you like it 😭🙏 I actually finished it the other night watching your stream, so thank YOU for the endless positivity & motivation haha
I also edit videos and I know how tiring and L O N G the process is, but I can't find another word other than MASTERPIECE to describe what I just saw ♥ I wish I had your skills and your softwares, the effects are just amazing!
😭💙 thank you so much! YES editing is both cathartic & exhausting & this one i experimented alot with so i’m so happy you appreciated those elements. I used sony vegas pro btw 💙
ah i love this video! your flow, typography, and timing are perfect!! the scene choice is spot on! all the lyrics match so well! i especially love the parallels to other scenes that you chose! and damn you edited almost 4 minutes but held my attention the whole time! it's perfect! one of my favorite soriku videos! i haven't seen any in a while so im blessed! thethumbnail is beautiful too! this is too good!
demurenobody aaaaah oh my gosh I’m so So happy rn, thank you for this lovely comment 🙏 I’m so So glad I was able to keep it interesting, def tried to avoid it dragging on for too long but I Needed most of the song to tell the story haha. There’s just So Much when it comes to soriku I’m sure you know 😂 & Thanks so much for appreciating the parallels, they were pretty much my main purpose for making this so to know others liked them is so awesome aaah. (also I’m gonna take this chance to gush over your videos, they’re amazing & i’ve been subscribed for years on an old account, so one of my fav fanvid creators leaving me such an amazing comment here means the world 💕)
@@heartstations no problem the video is perfect! and aww thank you! i appreciate it! you're so kind! i'm sure you make a lot of amazing videos yourself! this one is so good!
GODDAMIT IT'S SO GOOD!!!! That's a lot of dedication with on-beat fades And im sobbing where did you get the non watermark footage of 1.5 remix addition of riku scenes? I use kh-vids but I cant find those cutscenes for my MVs. It's been a trouble
Wow, thank you! Sorry this reply is so late but all the clips I used are from Kh-vids as well, so the final mix scenes must be all sprinkled throughout? When I have a chance to go look through them again I’ll let you know where exactly they are in terms of clip location :)
heartstation oooh I’d be thankful to know in which vids not exact timemarks!!! I dled and searched at the moments I saw them in the game/extra footage but didnt see them...
Sora is Riku’s sunlight
SORIKU ENDGAME ACTUALLY
The way I screamed when I realized this was an AMV/GMV using Hozier. Holy shit this is so well done thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
this literally slaps so hard, I am actually crying??? wow this...wow.
This is even better with the theory that Riku is the light
Oh yes this was definitely inspired by my love for ‘ Riku is the light ‘ agenda! haha. Thanks for watching 🤍✨

I love this! So beautiful! The parallels of darkness(riku) and (sora)light and how it fits each word of the song. It's really amazing. Basically this video is how to explain soriku down to it's core.
Wow, thank you! I was really trying to convey that so I’m glad you think it’s a proper explanation of their relationship 💜
i must've watched this 50 times in the past 11 months, i consider it required viewing for kh fans atp thank you for your service
OhmyGOD the goosebumps
You're such an underrated editor
This...this is....words cannot...IM SPEECHLESS.
this is so sweet, thank you so much for watching 🥺💜
Supreme editing. Also notice how there is no sign of Kairi. As it should be...
OUGH the transitions and timeline of each game working so seamlessly with the lyrics, excellent job!!!
I have the flu rn and I can’t tell if I’m crying because of that or just how beautiful this video is. It’s my new favorite soriku video
Oh no I hope you feel better soon! The flu is brutal. ..But thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me know you enjoyed this, I’m so glad! 😭✨
I cry. This is beautiful!
😭🙏🏻♥️
What will Riku do without his sunlight?
hug annoy Put a ring on it, hopefully
💍💍✨ (thanks for watching!!)
This video is fantastic and the parallels drawn between the scenes and the song are wonderfully edited together. Thank you for making this it was a great watch
Aaah, thank you! I tried to tell the story with parallels by using them throughout the whole vid & it’s nice to know they were noticed & appreciated 💕
This an absolute gem!!! I HAVE NO WORDS ANYMORE
That timing, those simple effects....PERFECT. I love it sooo much!
This brought me to tears. Thank you for creating this. ♥

video inspired me to edit and lock in ngl
And they still want us to ship Sora and Kairi. Smh
I know right!! It’s the Straight Agenda*TM
This is great love the song too.
I think the editing is absolutely amazing. It captures their journey together perfectly and I love Soriku. The only thing I didn't like was the song. It wasn't of my taste, but that doesn't stop me from saying that this is an amazing AMV. Thank you.
I think I'm now getting used to this song, though.
This is still so beautiful!
💕 That means so much to me, thank you! Is the category still open for that? If so, I would love to enter
@@heartstations It should still be open as of now but I'm pretty sure today is the last day to enter. Sorry for the late reply, I've been sick!
