[FSS] Ratchet & Sonic | What a Wonderful World [ Collab with

Yaaaay i'm so happy this is done!!~ Let's goooo!!! c:
This is a collab my girlfriend, Enchi, and i started in late June of last year - Enchi was very diligent and finished her parts very early, while it took me much longer to finish mine. She was the one to suggest this song and theme for the collab, and i think we both did super well in sticking to the dark-style vibe throughout this video, and crafting it well uwu You can read more about our creative inspiration on her upload of this!
From what i recall, we might've had some other kind of full collab in mind? Was it with a Celldweller song-? oh! yes it was actually - but that idea fell out, and we decided go with something more relaxed (relatively) and easier to edit with, so we could get this done quicker.
Initially it was really hard for me to edit with this song bc i wasn't very inspired by it, i especially struggled when making my first part (among for other reasons), but i was able to find inspiration in my own way, eventually!
When hearing this song more, i felt something of a contradiction between the peaceful lyrics and the dramatic, intense orchestral(?) music. I wanted to capture this in my own parts - something of a ''wonderful, perfect world'' that isn't actually all that wonderful Or perfect, and instead is filled with negative emotions and situations.
All of my parts in this collab, in order, were quite literally made during different phases of my life this past year.
First part of mine here was done when entering a low point in my life, second - basically the very reason why i regained joy in editing and in general again, third and fourth - made very recently, during my ''inspired but tired'' era - still some flashes of my previous inspiration left, but uni is making me sleep deprived.
Extremely happy with the results of my own parts even given how much has changed over this past year, and i'm super proud of my girlfriend for her parts!~ woohoo!!~ uwu
This project is alsooo a ‪@FlamingStarsStudio‬ project!! :3 Enchi's old studio which has now been revived!! 🎉 c:
I had loads of fun working on this collab in the end, and i hope y'all enjoy watching it tooo!~
And i'll be happy to work with u on another collab sometime, honey~ ;D x3
And with that, i wish you all a wonderful (hehe) day/night! ^w^
