I was never big on making my own music videos. Like drawing it was just one of those crafts where I shot myself down from the beginning with the self doubt that what others created was pure magic that lil 'ol me couldn't possibly in my wildest dreams hope to recreate. So when I finally made one it was rare and very far in between. With that said, I don't know how big the music video scene is these days on YouTube, what with the very strict copyright rules, but here are two that I poured my heart and soul into.


If anyone doesn't know this classic. The Secret Garden is an over 100 years old book by Frances Hudgson Burnett, about an orphaned girl moving to her uncle in England, where the friends she makes and the exposure to nature thaws her spoiled heart. Many movie adaptions have been made, perhaps most well-known the Warner Bros one from 1993. But this video is spliced with clips from the 1975 BBC mini-series. I heard this song when I was in the middle of reading the book, and the whole thing of "seeing all the wonders around you" inspired me.

In fact, I like this adaption so much I managed to reach out to the actress playing Mary (who is now in her 60s) and humbly asked for an autograph, which she then sent me on a postcard with a painting of a garden ❤️


This one is made with cutscenes and gameplay from the game "Kingdom Hearts - Chain of Memories". I love the game despite the hate it gets for the card battle system, and so I felt inspired when I heard this song from Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light.

Have you guys made any music videos of your own throughout the years?

Do the ones I make up in my head count?
 
oh I was big into these back in like 2002 or so when anime music videos were pretty big. So many Linkin Park DBZ videos! haha
Never made my own though
 
Wow I love this story, even with a painting of the garden? So lovely

Anyway, I've never tried making an actual music or song. What I did try was those launchpad things (like MIDI stuff).

Because I keep seeing those things that I thought was amazing to me at the time, especially from the creator like SoNevable

I've never had one that are like an actual launchpad product, but I did install apps that can do similar stuff (can't exactly remember the name but I think it was 4 this and pack, something like that)

I used to try a lot of songs with that thing with songs that are blowing up that year like Alan Walker, Marshmallow, Skrillex and Avicii (rest in peace to him)

Why I love these things? Well, even I don't exactly know why (maybe my younger self are just a different breed at the time). But some of these videos kinda reminds me why I love it so much in the first place (trying to attempt it alone was painful though)
 
I mean... *Gestures vaguely at Miku avatar/sig*

But in all seriousness, Vocaloid and fan/amateur MVs go pretty hand in hand. I've never made one though.
 
omg I just found a video game music video that I used to really like!


I actually just got chills watching it just now LOL (nostalgia is a hell of a drug)
When it says "I was there and I saw what you did" and it shows Ghaleon...
When it says "the first time, the last time we ever met" and it shows Dyne holding baby Althena...
I just wish the video wasn't potato quality, but it IS 18 years old.

Your avatar reminded me of one of my own favorites :-)
