[video] USUK MAD by yours truly

[minuiko.livejournal.com]

Title: Who Knew [USUK] MAD
Author/Artist: Minuiko (me)
Character(s) or Pairing(s): USUK, Canada, France, Germany
Rating: PG?
Warnings: A little bit of blood, nothing too fancy.
Summary: The history of USUK relations, sort of... I just heard the song, decided it fit a little too well for the pairing, and decided to make a vid. 200+ frames, took about a month to complete OTL

Just gonna copypasta my comments directly from Youtube:

This is what is actually my very first MAD, since the Franada one I posted earlier was made in the middle of this vid. The quality of images changes throughout the video because I acquired Adobe Photoshop after I had already started the MAD. Im sorry, I dont feel like changing it.

DISCLAIMER: I AM AWARE OF MY OWN HISTORICAL INACCURACIES IN THE VID. For starters, the burning of Washington happened during the War of 1812, NOT during the Revolutionary War, but I decided that it fit the dramatic mood of the vid better if placed there. Immediately following that I have the rebuilding of Washington which you already know is out of order. The Louisiana Purchase (and thus Lewis and Clark) happened in 1803 before the burning of Washington, after the Revolutionary War. I think those are all of my chronology errors?

For more clarification, the UK helped the South (portrayed by female America) during the Civil War later on, we have the Battle of Britain with Germany vs. Britain during WWII. Thats about the extent of the history I put in here.

My God did this take every ounce of patience. 200+ frames (236 to be exact), about a months work (although I did do it gradually). And all for a couple that isnt even my OTP. Im taking a break from vid making for a little while to concentrate on school, but Im certainly game for another MAD if I find the right song for the right pairing. Im contemplating a Russia/America one next, and Canada/Netherlands is always awesome. But who knows? No promises.

ALSO: FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T SEE IT BECAUSE THEY'RE IN GERMANY here is a megavideo link, hopefully it should work? http://www.megavideo.com/?v=FN4ZD3U5

That was...



I thought this song would be perfect for USUK, but the song is hardly the only thing perfect about this video, wowza.

[happymuffin95.livejournal.com]

That was bloody AMAZING!

Fantastic work! You are so talented.

T-this made me cry! (then again I am a bit of an over emotional crybaby)
So beautiful! Loved the parts with France and Colonial!America, and how America had so much faith in England, and then ended up saving him and everything.

This was so.. so.. I mean I've got tears in my eyes. Kudos to you for all that work! ;v; <333

[chibi-spork.livejournal.com]

This is brilliant! The song fits it perfectly and your drawings are all really good. I like how it has a happy ending too <333 *is a sucker for a happy ending*

*goes to fave it on youtube*

[tijuana-pirate.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is fantastic! I adore this video. It's just such a lovely... wide-angle view of their relationship. You really run the full spectrum of emotions.

(Little America attacking France! Adorable!)

There are some frames in this that I just had to pause to look at: Canada & England at the burning of Washington, America's expression at 1:55, the Blitz at 2:23, AMERICA AT 2:51 (gah!)... too many, really!

It's really lovely. I hope that you're very happy with it. I can't imagine how much work it takes to make one of these. -_-

You mention a Franada video? Perhaps a link could be provided? ^^'

Cheers,

(Do you have a deviantart account? I'd love to see more of your artwork.)

[minuiko.livejournal.com]

I do, it's the same name as my LJ account. Thanks!

[amouisrafel.livejournal.com]

This is most definitely one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. *fangirls* And when I saw the burning of Washington I super fangirl-ed. *Is obsessed with the war of 1812* Who cares if it didn't happen in the actual Revolution, it fit perfectly where it was placed. And just...the whole thing. All the hard work! *I was with my mother while watching this and she started watching it with me and stayed watching it until the end because she was super impressed xD*

[minuiko.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, your mom saw it too? *a bit embarrassed but flattered*

Thanks! War of 1812 is one of those moments I love in the Canada/England vs. US part of history xD.

[amouisrafel.livejournal.com]

Canada can be bad ass too! And it's so often overshadowed by other wars in history. T-T

My mom's watched the first episode of Hetalia so whenever she sees I'm doing something Hetalia related she'll come look to see if "that cute little Italy" is there. xD

[munnie-89.livejournal.com]

this is beautiful <3 love it

[xtwilightzx.livejournal.com]

That is so amazing - I can't imagine how much work you put into it to fit the frames to the lyrics, right down to the characters singing. It is absolutely awesome, and god, my heart - it hurts, with France and the revolution, and the civil war (!!) and finally with America punching out Germany, oh gosh.

Wonderful!

just amazingly freakin wow

[akatsukino.livejournal.com]

One of teh best MADs Ive seen in a WHILEEEE. That was deff worth all the work you put into it. beautiful work, art, idea, creation EVERYTHING! and when they moved their mouths in tune with the song i cannot imagine how long that must have taken. again A-M-A-Z-I-NNNNN!!!

[technoranma.livejournal.com]
