Sugar Skyline

Niwa (Pro): I was susprised that Gee asked me at first to be his Pro for this contest, since I've already seen what's his capable of and I was certain that I couldn't teach him more than he already knew.
Apparently, he wanted to try something new and to experiment the RAW side of editing rather than his usual style with Visual Effects. So I explained him a bit about planning his structure for the editing and also choosing his scene scelection wisely during this process, but due the circumstances, we ended up working on improving his style into Visual Effects and helped him with his design and structure instead.
While he mastered most of his animation during this project, I wanted him to focus on the overall design and presentation of his M@D video rather working on the technical side, because that's what tend to be lacking from most M@D videos I've seen until now. In the end, I wished I could've helped him more and had more discussion about the concept of his video, but I'm satisfied of his results and it's been a nice experience overall. Hopefully, he'll use this knowledge to extend his own skills even further into his future works.

Kyuketsuki28 (Novice): Ever since I really wanted Niwa to teach me the basics of color correcting and color adjustments as well as the importance of color choosing in any video, weather raw or effect styled. I asked him to be my pro last year but he already gathered his 3 novices that time, I have to give up and wait for this year to join with him. Luckily he agreed to be my pro, I learned a lot from him, and I felt I improved in my style a lot. We were supposed to go for Raw editing for this contest because I want to try something that I'm not used to, but because of my tight schedule and other real life stuffs, I have to change the plan and go on for something that I can easily accomplish. This project started January 17 and ended February 19, I'm editing every night, 5 seconds of the video each day. I'm so happy I made it in time. This video like most of the MAD, is Seishiga Styled (images only). The video is intended something to enjoy while watching. I brought out the cuteness of the song using chibi images I have in my HD together with bright and colorful atmosphere that Niwa contributed a lot in teaching me. That is all, enjoy the sugar sweetness. And oh, this may not be obvious but in every scenes there are like hidden meanings. :) have fun figuring each out <3
