Ready to Fly [Raya]

*SPOILERS FOR THE FILM IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT*
✎ Hello everyone! As you can tell, I went to see Raya and the Last Dragon opening day and just had to make a new video about it.....two weeks later.
It wasn't a HTTYD level dragon movie but it was really good. Beautiful film with a very simple but very difficult message on "trust". I've had trust issues with people for years now, so this was a hard to swallow message, but I think it was really well done and made me think. I loved the character development of Raya and Namaari as well, not to mention the character designs! And Sisu was hilarious and a such a joy to watch move, ahehe. (The animator in me was impressed.)
I plan to do a couple more vids at least for the movie. Took me two full days to decide on what song to edit with for this first one because I couldn't decide between what theme I wanted to focus on: The friend/enemy dynamic of Raya and Namaari, or a VO driven narrative, or something more cinematic with sound fx and parallels.....I guess the latter won? Go figure.
I heard this song in a Mulan vid by Midnight Mist that was REALLY well done (Like seriously the best mulan vid, check it out: • M u l a n [ Ready to ... ) and I of course had it on my long list for HTTYD to-dos, but that quote from the top called me to edit it with Raya instead. I've been wanted to edit this style for awhile now. Sound fx is hard man, it's not as polished as Midnight's but I really enjoyed making it!
Oh and I have a question if you are still reading: what do you think of this widescreen aspect ratio? I did it for my previous vid too but I'm not sure how I feel about it....Kinda miss the good old 1080p you know? Maybe it's just me. So do you like it full wide screen or cropped?
Anywho, thats about all I have for now. I DID get a freelance editing gig, that PAYS, so that's been keeping me pretty busy. It's nice to get paid to edit something for a change I will say.
Hope y'all enjoy, and thanks again for your continued support!! ♥
