*looks at calendar* Huh would you look at that. I’m 6 years late to making a full length Stranger Things video. The disappointment in myself is immeasurable.

I’m gonna start out by saying I had no idea what to call this video. El & Vecna? El & One? El & Upside Down??? It’s all kinda one melting pot at this point which means my artsy titles can’t really describe the actual premise of this video, unless I wanted the title to be “eleven/jane and her conflict with the upside down/vecna/one/henry creel/possessed billy/whatever evil fucking entity is after the small superpowered child this season”. THERE’S TOO MANY NAMES TO ACCOUNT FOR!!! So even though this video markets itself as being about Eleven, I don’t think that’s an accurate description. It’s just the closest I could get XD.

ANYWAYS. Stranger Things 4! It’s not even over yet and I’m reeling from it my dudes. This season is so so SO good so far, and it’s apparently the only one that’s managed to get me off my butt to make a damn video for it. Oh sure, I’ve edited with this show before. But I’ve never made it’s own video for it, and goddamnit I needed to. And so this season gave me a perfect opportunity.

I’ve been itching to edit this song for a few years now, specifically with an intertwined toxic hero and villain dynamic. Where good and evil are bound by each other no matter how hard one or both tries to pull away from it. But I could never seem to figure out the right footage for it. Nothing ever came to mind. And then this season decided to finally put a face to the Upside Down and gave me EXACTLY what I needed. Eleven’s struggle and journey with the Upside Down has always ALWAYS been my favorite part of the show, so you can imagine how happy and excited I was when we went all in with it. And as such, inspiration and motivation struck me all at once!

This video is probably one of the simpler videos I’ve put out. Minimal effects and transitions, as I felt the song’s vibe would be compromised had I had done more complicated editing. So I kept it pretty plain! And as you can see, I’m continuing to experiment with voiceovers and sound effects! Honestly I’m having a lot of fun with these type of videos. They don’t need much and they take very little time (this video literally took me like…3 days) but they’re SUPER fun! Seriously, expect some more vids like this in the future. Enjoy!

PS: Between this and Moon Knight, I officially HATE editing scenes with strobe lights
