( Your heart has a lack of colour )

I use :

• Sony Vegas Pro 8.0
• Particle llusion 3.0
• Photoshop CS3

3. Can you tell me how to get them?

Yeah sure, get the trials from the official website :

Sony Vegas : sony.com + this tutorial

Particle Ilusion : http://www.wondertouch.com/
Photoshop : www.adobe.com/fr/products/photoshop/photoshop/

4. Where do you get your icons/fanarts?

Here's a little tutorial :


- Deviantart.com/
-> Keywords: Anything really, characters names, shippings names...

- Pixiv.net

You have to register to see/get the pictures.
Now you're probably thinking " Omg it's in jap! I don't understand a thing D: " but no need to worry (8D)  Teruchan on deviantart made a great tutorial which teaches you how to register : How to register Pixiv
When you're registered you have to enter keywords in the search bar at the top but it has to be japanse words.
-> Keywords : Anything , just copy/paste the japanese names of the characters/pokemon from Bulbapedia.

And since I'm nice here are some presets =P :

Pokemon : ポケモン

Ash : サトシ
Brock : タケシ
Cynthia : シロナ
Cyrus : アカギ
Dawn : ヒカリ
Drew : シュウ
Kenny : ケンゴ
Gary : オーキド
Harley : ハーリー
Barry : ジュン
May : ハルカ
Mars : マーズ
Max : マサト
Misty : カスミ
Paul : シンジ
Reggie : レイジ
Riley : ゲン
Saturn : サターン
Zoey : ノゾミ

Ikarishipping : シンヒカ
Pearlshipping : サトヒカ
Penguinshipping : ケリ (not sure)
Pokeshipping : サトカス
Contestshipping : シュウハル

- Photobucket
-> Keywords: Same thing.
You can also check directly StarLe19's gallery she uploaded a bunch of them:
http://s124.photobucket.com/albums/p14/StarLe19/Pokemon/
Check the menu on the left, there are categories.

- Last but no least : Directly on japanese websites.

How? From pokemonsearch
Click on the banners on the right and refresh the page to get new random ones.

There are so many sites I can't link them all, anyway some tips.
On each website there are 3 places you have to find :

* The Gallery
THE tip to find it : when you put the mouse on a link there's something written at the bottom of your navigator's page, the bottom left corner, it's the destination of the link, well just look till you see "gallery" , "pictures" things like that. Even if the site is in jap or any other language it'll always be in english 8D)
A japanese site has usually a menu with links going to gallery/info/Links/Memo and so on.
Once you find the gallery the fanarts should be on the left (not all the time but often). You'll see either " i " or points or signs, click on it each sign links to a picture.


* If you don't find a Gallery search the "Memo" page , it's like a oekaki, the artist puts random drawings, often related to the last aired episode.

* The Links Page ( same tip as above)
Why do you search for the links page? Well to find even more fanarts 8D
The artist often has links to similar sites, pokemon sites or sites belonging to people who support the same pairings so it's pretty useful. Navigate from site to site from there.
It's a bit confusing at first but you'll see after a while that you can recognize the sites :3


Be careful though, it can become an addiction 8DDD
And also some websites contain mature content and hentai pics so beware.


For the icons

I make them and upload them here on LJ or on my photobucket account.

You can also get some from here : Pokemon icons it's a pokemon icon community on LJ.

And you can also GOOGLE IT. POKEMON/CHARACTER NAME/ POKEMON + ICON in GOOGLE that's so easy it hurts =x


5. Can you make a [ insert a shipping name ] video?

NO. I DON'T TAKE REQUESTS
It may be a suggestion, I may think about it but sorry I don't take request. I'm afraid of disappointing you by being late or by rushing it. I really appreciate if you like my work but sorry I only make request vids from very close friends. =x


6. Can you dedicate a video to me?

What's the point of a dedication which is not sincere?


7. How do I get more views on my videos?

Work on it instead of asking this question xD


8. What's the song / artist / shipping / anime ?

READ DESCRIPTION / CREDITS because pretty much everything is explained there.

I really hate it when people ask random questions without even reading descriptions. We take the time to write them for you so be kind enough to read them before asking questions. Besides if you ask me something without even a "please" I may very well NOT answer you, a bit of politeness geez.. =/

Also there's reason why we amv-makers don't write up the song, because of COPYRIGHT. If you ask for the song and someone answers you then anyone WMG can see it and say " Ow! that infringes my money rights! =x "

Also don't be lazy, you can find any song by typing the lyrics in google. This way you don't even have to ask and wait for the answer.


9. Why do you / don't like this shipping?

Because I like it or not. xD
I like Ikarishipping because it seems right to me and because it's cute.

I DON'T LIKE SHIPPINGS BECAUSE I THINK THEY'RE CANON. So stop thinking that when someone makes a shipping tribute he tries to convince you or something. 
DON'T LIKE  = DON't WATCH. Noone forced you to watch the vid in the first place so don't complain.

I really can't stand shippings haters/flamers/bashers.

I read the dumbest thing ever the other day :
" haha I hope those dumb contestshippers get mad. May fell in love with Ash the first time she saw him" OMG. :O Can you get more stupid than that?
FLAMING IS USELESS. YOU'LL NEVER ACHIEVE ANYTHING BY DOING SO. PEOPLE WON'T STOP BELIEVEING IN THEIR SHIPS EVEN IF YOU FLAME THEM NEITHER DO YOU SO IT'S JUST MEAN AND IT SUCKS.

YOU FLAME = YOU FAIL ( and I block you by the way 8D )

If you're intolerant about pointless things like shippings it's hopeless =x

I've never flamed a shipping and I never will. I respect all kinds of shippings.

I'm not an advanceshipper or a pearlshipper but at least I try to understand why people like it and it's true that it has its moments.

Besides pokemon scenarists don't care about shippings anyway so there's only the fandom left for us.

Ikarishipping isn't canon but it has a HUGE FANDOM, it's a FANNON even if it's not canon. We, the fans, are the ones who make a shipping become true or not in everyone's heart so spread the love if you like a shipping, that's the best you can do.

10. Can I join your MEP Group ?

Yes because I'll make auditions.

Can I join even if I'm not part of the group?

Not if it's a MEP hosted for the Group, but I will be hosting MEPs open to everyone so yeah, I'll be glad to have you with us.  ^^

11. How do I avoid the copyright claim on youtube?

First, put disclaimers on your profile, in the video's decription and even in the video itself.

Just copy/paste this :

Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.

[ VERY IMPORTANT ]
Try to avoid putting the songs and anime names in the title or in the description and in the tags.
If you do, replace some of the letters by numbers or signs so that it won't be spotted by the copyright owners when they search for keywords.

Example : Pokémon = P0k3m0n

Also put your videos in the "Non profits and Activism" category NOT in  "Films and animations" . It doesn't make sense if you're saying above it's non profit and you put it in "animations". =x


If your video is already claimed  :

Watch this vid, it's a tutorial : www.youtube.com/watch

If you're still making it and you have Sony Vegas :

Just right click on the audio, go to properties, change the Method to Classic, make sure lock to stretch is UNticked and then put 0.5 into pitch change.
Credit for this tip goes to my friend TrinityAngel

12. How do you do this effect?

Well ask me by PM if it's an advanced effect but if you're a beginner you should rather check  montagical's channel. He made a bunch of tutorials for Vegas beginners, like how to mask.

Ok I hope it answered all your questions. You can add me as a friend I'll gladly accept it. The only people I ignore are bashers or clips thieves.

13. How do I get my youtube account back ?


It worked for me, might work for you too ^^

It only works if you were suspended because of a copyright claim x3


I don't know if it's the only way to get it back but that's how I did ^^'

First you must know that I had 3 strikes and received a mail from youtube listing the videos which were claimed by Shogakukan and got me suspended, you need these urls to send the counter-notice.

If you have them skip the 1st step.

1. Step 1 : Re-opening request

 

Go here

•   Youtube should send you a mail looking like this :

" Thanks for your email. We received multiple notifications from various
content owners regarding unauthorized content that has been uploaded by
your account(s). When we're notified that a particular video uploaded to
our site infringes another's copyright, we remove the material as the law
requires. Federal law requires that we terminate accounts when they are
found to repeatedly infringe copyright. Because you have had other videos
rejected in the past, we are unable to reinstate your account. Users with
suspended or terminated accounts are prohibited from creating new accounts
or accessing YouTube's community. You will need to resolve at least one of
these penalties before your account can be reinstated. You may be able to
resolve at least one of the following video removals by filing a
counter-notification.

The following videos have been removed from your account: "

With the urls of the claimed videos.

2. Written counter-notice [Optional]
 

• I sent a written counter-notice by following  this

But I didn't do it right and they rejected my request.

They actually said they couldn't reopen my account so if you go that mail once :

" Thank you for your counter-notification. Based on the information you
have provided, it appears that you do not have the necessary rights to
post the content on YouTube. Therefore, we regretfully cannot honor
this counter-notification. It has not been forwarded to the original
claimant, and we will not be able to restore your video. "

It doesn't mean you can't get it back anyway.

3. Counter-notice form

• Send a counter notice using this form
•  A lot more simple x3
• Be sure to use at least your real country AND IN THE BRIEF EXPLANATION TO YOUTUBE COPY/PASTE THIS :

" Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use. "

• Then you should get this mail from youtube :

" Thank you for your counter-notification. It has been forwarded to the
party that sent the takedown notification. If we receive no response, your
material will be restored between 10 and 14 business days from today. "

If you get that it should be okay, just wait 14 days and you'll get another mail from youtube saying that they restored your videos and your acount ^^

All your strikes will be gone and you'll have your friends/favourites and subscribers back =D


Love you all guys <3
