just a tired space kid editing videos & making art✨
Black Water | Soriku [GMV]
Happy Soriku Week 2021!
This was not the edit I was planning on posting, but here we are. This one has been growing cobwebs in my hard drive since before Re:Mind & MoM released & I genuinely didn’t know if it would ever see the light of day bc I have many issues with it still, but I'm glad it is out, for my own sanity. It’s the same chronological type of edit that Sunlight was, created using most of those clips that didn’t make the final cut lol, and i couldn’t bear to edit the song shorter so pls forgive the parts that drag 🥲
It became more of a Riku character study than a full-blown soriku edit (but anyone who knows Riku’s story well will know it’s intrinsically tied to Sora anyway, so) ; his personal trials & how his love for Sora became a healthy way for him to view & reconnect with himself after everything. The song has been very meaningful to me for a while now & the obvious parallel of black water as depression to Kingdom hearts’ exploration of darkness fit so perfectly for Riku’s acceptance of his loneliness, identity, & darkness that I had to go for it.
I also masked some scenes that either only exist in supplementary material, or are theorized scenarios I personally indulge in & wanted to test my hand at recreating without deviating too far from the message or canon. hope that clears up any confusion. 😅
Thank you as always for tuning in, it means more than you know.
I hope you're all healthy & staying safe & that your Soriku Week was filled with love & meow wows! (the cute animal kind not the dead key kids kind,, kh is such a trip)

'I had been lost to you, sunlight flew like a moth to you, sunlight' ☼☼☼ Happy Pride 2019! I made this video primarily for Pride month, but due to life getting in the way, I never got around to finishing it in time. It's late but I'm having fun making videos again & re-discovering how to edit in sony vegas :) Once I played KH3 I knew I had to edit with the new scenes bc kingdom hearts & these t...
Really powerful. I love your style of incorporating lyrics into the amv. I hope I don't offend you by asking, but do you take requests? I think King & Lionheart would be great to combine with KH (Sora being the king and Riku being the Lionheart). Anyway, please consider making more videos.
OUGH the transitions and timeline of each game working so seamlessly with the lyrics, excellent job!!!
RIKUUUUUUUUUU
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
You're such an underrated editor
video inspired me to edit and lock in ngl
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 ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Holy crap this is so beautiful. Definitively saved this AMV to my playlist.
Just coming to revisit this absolute gem 💎😭❤❤❤
OH MY GD
I genuinely can't handle this video
your skills are unreal. amazing :)
omg the editing and the song choice are both so perfect. i love it <3
This is beautiful!
oh man i'm kind of obsessed with this, i keep noticing something new on each rewatch; stuff like the pulsing light at 0:38 making it look like riku can sense the world's heart beating through the door, the clip of him waving at 1:22 before he and sora close the door, all the split screen moments being perfectly chosen especially the roxas vs riku one at 2:02, the repliku flashbacks at 3:06 being in black and white, the way the very last shot IS directly from sora's first person perspective... i don't think even a single second of this drags, every single shot has storytelling value. also i LOVE your font choices. i literally feel dizzy from how emotional i am over this video.
BRO THIS EDITING WAS AMAZING, I really really love this
I love this
This is great love the song too.
I think it's time I finally comment on this video because I've watched this so many times! I love how you portrayed RIku's story from beginning to end, while also adding SoRiku (which, by the way, I absolutely ADORE!) The music choice is phenomenal and I am OBSESSED with some of the transitions (3:37 / 3:45 / 3:57 for example, those were SO good; they blend together very well) Riku's also just one of my favorite characters of the franchise and seeing his story portrayed like this is so- AHHH!! This is one of my favorite videos on the internet and I always click on it when I see it in my recommended or I see it on the side of the video I'm watching. I love this and I love you I also love your 'Sunlight' video and I truly believe you could make more videos and they'd be AMAZING All in all, this is a GREAT video!
WOW, first off thank you so much for this lovely comment!? I’m obviously ecstatic that you enjoy the video so much and so frequently. I honestly do try to create things that last in people’s minds so to know you like the transitions & that the message of Riku’s story was relayed properly makes all the time spent working on it worth it, truly. Riku’s one of my favs too and it means so much to me that another big fan of him connected to this. Thank you again for leaving this message and I promise I’m working on new videos both soriku & otherwise , I just work very slowly lol. But this definitely gives me further motivation to complete them as fast as possible. Have the greatest day, and thanks again!🤗💜
HOLY SHIT this has so many fucking PHENOMENAL transitions that had me backing up multiple times to watch them again
ahsjkhdkf thank you so much, the transitions were a huge reason for me making it in the first place so knowing you noticed & liked them is so dope to hear 🤍 tysm again
I love this so much, the editing and clip choices for the music tell such a beautiful story of Rikus past and growth and strength to protect what matters. :') this was amazing
thank you! His development through the series in regards to protecting what matters is so important to me & I really wanted to do it justice, I’m so glad you enjoyed 🤍
this literally slaps so hard, I am actually crying??? wow this...wow.
This is one of the best amvs I’ve seen
oh wow, that’s such high praise 😭🤍 thank you so much for watching, & i’m so happy you like it!
（＾∇＾）thank you for making it🎶
This is INCREDIBLE. I seriously feel like crying, watching this. Your editing is really really creative and beautiful!! Did you absolutely haavvee to end it right where it's most painful though??? T_T you did. you needed to do it, I know.
It’s always so lovely to hear people liked this, thank you so so much for watching 🤍 & i apologize , i unfortunately Did need to do it :’)
Your editing skills are amazing! Wonderful job
thank you so much, seriously 🤍🥺
This actually made me cry what the fuck! This is quite possibly the most beautiful edit I've ever seen! The music and the way you blended scenes was absolutely masterful!
I feel very undeserving of this but thank you so much for leaving such wonderful praise 🥺🤍 I’m genuinely so touched & flattered, very glad you watched & enjoyed 🤍🤍🤍
SORIKU ENDGAME ACTUALLY
oh my goooooooooood WOW you've done it again 😭👏
Thank you so much Peachy, I always appreciate your support 🤍🥺
“I see myself; through someone else” (shows sora) starts crying and screaming
ahsjdk i couldn’t resist! thank you for watching 🤍🤍🤍
It’s always so refreshing to see Kingdom Hearts being edited. This is so gorgeous!!! I love how well you just showed who Riku is in this. A perfect character study! And I didn’t even realize you did some masking in this. It was just blended in so well! I adore the text placement so much too! Beautiful job!!! 🥰💕
I meant to respond to this before but I was so busy, I’m truly touched by this lovely comment 🤍 The masking took a while & was meant to look subtle so I’m so so happy you noticed & liked it. Thank you so much 😭
I love the subtle but amazing typography. this was so GOOD and so perfect for riku
this means so much to me, i wanted the text to be subtle for this one 💜 i’m really happy you enjoyed it!
dgsdlghsglghkgsd i can't get over how good this is asghkgdh
you’re so sweet, thank you for watching 🥺💜 i appreciate it an unbelievable amount!
This is beautiful, I am crying
tysm for watching 💜💜🥺
omg i didnt realize you had another edit!! once again perfect song choice and story telling the ending really made me realize How huge the moment at the end of kh3 is. Riku has spent all this time escaping and acceoting darknes, but is ready to face it like that for sora. wow...
Yeah the sacrifice at the graveyard rly brings Riku’s entire arc full circle, I think the placement of where they stand and the reminder that darkness = water/sea with the demon tide hits hard here, or at least it felt like a gut-punch when i first played this part in kh3 :P again, thank you so so much for watching & sharing your thoughts 💜💜💜 i hope to make many more edits both kh & otherwise in the future💜
@@heartstations yeah god such a powerful scene and perfect for the edit. I can’t wait for more!
You have returned! With other outstanding SoRiku video
thank you sm 💜🙏 yes, back from the grave haha, hopefully i’ll stay topside this time & there will be many more videos to come 😅
Absolutely beautiful TTWTT !! Your editing is great =DD <3333
💜💜🥲 thank you sm!
@@heartstations Aww you're welcome :) <333
i've watched this so many times these past few days i love this so much
you’re sweet , it really makes my day whenever someone takes the time to comment, thank you for watching! (love the Jin pfp btw 💜)
@@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!
@@Emma-tc1qy then my goal has been achieved! that’s absolutely what I was going for at the end, rly stoked that you’re able to catch that 💜🙏
My man, That was DelicatE BuT BeauTifUl, I would love to know your opinion about my Editing
Absolutely amazing!!!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This is really really nice! I love the music you chose and how you edited Riku's story from beginning to end. How certain scenes blended with others. Really beautiful.
thank you for this lovely comment 💜🥲 i’m happy you appreciated those transitions, they were initially my motivation to make the video.
This...this is....words cannot...IM SPEECHLESS.
this is so sweet, thank you so much for watching 🥺💜
Gorgeous!
I cry. This is beautiful!
Supreme editing. Also notice how there is no sign of Kairi. As it should be...
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 💜
all rise for the soriku anthem
**hand over heart**
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 🤍✨
Still one of my favorite videos
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 💙
And they still want us to ship Sora and Kairi. Smh
I know right!! It’s the Straight Agenda*TM
