EARLY ACCESS! - Poppin' Candy Fever COVER!
🕑 Added 2022-07-22 23:51:23 +0000 UTCHELLO!!!
I finally finished one of my covers, Poppin' Candy Fever!!!!!!!! It'll premiere on my youtube this sunday July 24th at 4:00 pm CEST! You can find the waiting room for it here. BUT.. I thought I could do a little early access video for patreon, so I made a secret new backup channel that I plan to upload early access stuff, and patreon stuff! So here's the cover before anybody else hears or sees it!
I usually mix my own vocals, and for that I use FL studio. I was actually gonna do harmonies, but it didn't sound right to me, and I thought it sounded better without, so I left it with just the main vocals and the adlibs! I tried to polish the main vocals so all the tones would be as clear as possible, which is a challenge to do by hand, but it really does a lot to a song! The adlibs are pretty much untouched, only balanced and mixed, so they're basically just my pure voice!
The video was done in Premiere Pro WHICH MAKES THINGS A LOT EASIER FOR ME :D I saw the potential to do this in Premiere, and NOT After Effects, and I TOOK IT WOOOOOOOOOOO. I do need to befriend After Effects though, but this was not the time. Oh, and one of the hardest things, surprisingly, was FINDING THE FONTS. I had to search up things in japanese to find a blogpost that isn't available outside of Japan that mentioned one of the fonts. Luckily, google had the text in the preview part so I could find it! Then I found out they used one font for the japanese text, and then another for the english one?! I had to search up the font by image, and using "WhatTheFont". As soon as I found their names, both of the fonts ended up being free in the Adobe fonts for people with the Creative Cloud thing, so I could download them easily because I have it though school, lucky!!!!!! The rest was just.. tedious text work, but a lot faster than AE! I did have a bit of fun with trying to animate me and icebear though hehehe.
The drawing I already kinda talked about, and showed here, but yeah, I'm still really glad that I went ahead and drew something instead of using illustrator, which is where I feel safe. I feel I learned a lot by drawing, and I wanna do it more!
Ok I'm gonna go chill a little bit, and then I'm gonna maybe continue on my summer outfit, I don't have much time :S
Have a cool summer, hope to see you at premiere!!!<3

THANK YOU JEHEMOOOOTH!!!!! OH NO, the covid got you too! I hope you feel better soon, it really slows things down in all ways :S Yeah my voice wasn't really at its best while recording either, but I powered through! I think I could do it better, but I feel it was good enough! Take care ok, stay healthy and drink nice tea!!!!!!!!!

your drawings came out amazing!! I've been sick with covid these past two days so I'll try making it to your premiere... but your cover sounded great!! I felt this would have been a little difficult to cover with how much energy the song gives off and you did an amazing job! I'll have to enjoy it more when I'm recovered 🤧ganbaru!
