D-0 (CIATION)
To refrain myself from opening the description with an long winded paragraph, I first want to say the usual. Here are the teams I'm a part of;
BLANK ARTS: / @blankartsvisionfx1165
NERU (havin it): / @neruarchive4580
SLUMPED (serb hello?): / @slumpedreality
And, super special thanks to Ein, Ari, 1NQUA (all of you!), moniker is sorrowfully defnktn, Bkode, Akuma, Cyn, CHRIS, FRATIMA, AlexB2G, Kira, Viperr, Galah, Nick, Saturn, BRKNOFFC, funny floyd and so many other people who have been by my side through these months. I really, really don't know where I would be without everyone by my side, accepting me for who I am, accepting me for my humanity. I could write an essay on each one of you, probably.

For a long time now, in the HQ's, I've been using Google Drive linked to a very "special" YouTube account out there.

This is one of the most satisfying moments in my entire life. Although this piece is flawed, I couldn't bring myself to remove what feels like very few human elements in this work. This marks the beginning; and the end, of the snippet series. It's funny to think every piece since E-4 actually ties together, and nobody even batted an eye until I even shared my plans this week. It's done. It's over. I'll be making a playlist called "snippet-series", where it has all of them inside of one video and a kind of documentary when I finish that.
The entire collection might seem odd though, all together it's only 4 minutes long. What's the point of uploading each piece like a different edit? I wanted people to be involved in something. Not only in me making it all, but rather, liking this part more than the other part, or just getting to know me better and what these mean to me. Yes; all these pieces have some meaning to them. The fact you're reading this description means something to me, at least, as each edit in this series has a quote relating to the entire thing. The idea of a series like this drove me to finishing it, and by the end of it, it took less effort to vent on a god-damn video game and a editing program. Yippe.
Let's not forget what's important, though. I've been through a lot since A-8. Every one of these is a milestone, and honestly, this has to be the biggest one. I wanted to do F-10, but A-8 is such an appropriate place to end. And, the entire series will be done before the end of the year, like my final goal was for this. Let me ask you a question, whoever is digging down here, what has THIS meant to YOU? Not me, YOU! I've improved in the quality aspect, but all of these works have a different sense of love and a different mindset attached to them. So, these subtle changes that make these pieces, what do you think of it all? What do they mean? I wouldn't be working on this series if I hadn't made one person think about getting back into editing, and finally seeing it's a lot more than velo, pan-crop, POVs, and the "basics". Once you learn to abandon the basics and use the program like you think in your head, there is no block that isn't created by you. I had to ask myself, what do I want to make? What am I thinking about? I had to learn to finally disregard my own standards and just create. My standards don't really matter to me anymore, and this piece changed that.
Before going too deep, that is what this snippet series means to me on a very surface level. I want you to think, what the hell has all of this done to you? Do you even care? Or shall you continue on your day? Why does editing even need a necessity inside its ranks, can't we all start on a clean sheet? But don't forget this; It's over. It's done. I'm here. You're here. We've made it. Finishing a collection of pieces that was birthed from the necessity of binary skin, not only do I have that now, but I'll be taking advantage of it in the future.
To what I've made, and what I've done. May my left arm break in excitement and joy of the future, as I punch my fist in the air as hard as ever. I'm here. I'll say it again.
Have a digital hug, if you're into something like that.
"[I'm glad someone can view it from my lens.] It was a wild ride, back in SOUS, and I'm looking for something like that again, even though it had a horrible ending. I just want to get rid of the worry with someone and just have that, un-explainable feeling again. And yet, I'm in the dark about something like that coming back. Maybe it already has come back and I'm not seeing it. I'm looking for a friend group that can provide that, feeling, again. Where I can accept and forget. Hopefully this name can give something like that."

To 2020, editors. Expect a break. I've done my rounds. Enjoy it all, I know I'm crying writing this piece.
