Hey guys, sorry for the abrupt radio silence and lack of an upload this month.
I moved at the start of August, and itās been a challenge finding time to set up all my editing/computer equipment while still working.
Rest assured, Iāll get everything situated shortly, and it will be back to business as usual on my channel.
Thanks for your patience!

Hey everyone, some life updates real quick!
I recently switched jobs, and it's been a bit of an adjustment period, with me working fewer days but with significantly longer shifts, which has taken some getting used to. I'm also officially graduating college next week, so between getting everything sorted out there, finishing up my internship, and figuring out the new job, I wasn't able to finish this month's video on time.
Rest assured, I'll have it done as soon as possible, but I had been keeping up a (for once) consistent upload schedule since coming back to YouTube, and I wanted to assure you guys that I'm not about to suddenly stop uploading for month this time.
Just some big life changes, but they're certainly good ones, and I'm looking forward to what's next in store for me and this channel!

I know Iāve built up my channel pretty exclusively with content about Fairy Tail and RWBY, and that thatās what most of you guys subscribed for.
But both of those series (as much as I enjoy them) are admittedly past their prime currently, as evidenced by the view count on my 2 latest videos.
If I was to branch out and begin making videos for other shows, maybe more current ones, would you guys like to see that?
Iāve already got some possibilities in mind, but let me know if thereās a particular anime or show youād be interested in me using.

I should probably explain the reason my latest AMV didnāt have the song in the title.
Last month, after almost 10 years on YouTube, my channel was officially monetized. As part of that, I started looking at services that offer the ability to use copyrighted songs for a licensing fee.
I was already halfway through my Hope AMV when I found the site I currently use, Lickd, which is partnered with various artists to allow for the use of their songs on YouTube for a fee. They have a rule, however, that stipulates a video cannot have the name of the song in the title, since it would essentially be using the artist to gain more views or traction on a video to feature their name in the title.
Believe me, I know it looks weird to just have āRWBY AMVā with nothing else as the title, but Iād just like to see where this goes in terms of earning money. My editing software has a yearly subscription, after all š
.
Iām not going to be changing the way I do anything on this channel as a result of this, save for the issue with the title of my videos, but I wanted to give you all an explanation as to why my last video was titled the way it was.
Iāll be taking down the poll for the song in my next video tomorrow, and then Iāll get to work on my next video!

Hey guys, now that I'm back in business, I wanted to get your feedback on which song you'd like me to make a video with next!
These are the options I've been considering, I'll leave this poll open for a few days to see what gets the most votes.

This just in: I have a Ko-fi page!
ko-fi.com/primordialpaper7
I started this channel, and started making videos, purely as a fun hobby to do in my spare time. I never thought of it as anything remarkable, or imagined I would find the incredible support and viewership that I have now. Iām beyond grateful to everyone who has subscribed and watched my videos and put up with my chaotic upload schedule.
However, due to the nature of my content, I donāt receive the sort of monetary compensation that other channels with the same amount of subscribers get, which is just the way copyright works.
So I thought Iād institute this Ko-fi page as a way for people to show their support directly.
If you donāt have the spare funds to donate, thatās totally fine. Iām only presenting this as an option for anyone who feels inclined to offer what they can, when they can, should they so choose.
Regardless, I still appreciate everyone here, and look forward to sharing more content with you all in the new year!
Until then, Merry Christmas!

Hey everyone.
In case you havenāt heard the news, it was announced earlier this week that Rooster Teeth was officially being shut down by Warner Bros, effective in about 60 days I believe.
Naturally, I was gutted when I learned this. I honestly had dreamed of one day working at RT after graduating college. Itās beyond disheartening to hear that they will no longer be able to create the kind of content and shows that Iāve been enjoying for more than a decade, and my heart goes out to all the people who will soon find themselves out of a job due to this.
That being said, we have no concrete knowledge on the fate of RWBY, or rather, its future as a whole. I know theyāre looking to try and sell the IP in the hope of continuing the story, which I think is the best we can really hope for.
As truly upsetting as this news is, I want to make it clear that my love and passion for this show has in no way diminished. I have no plans to stop making RWBY AMVs (despite my lack of recent uploads) and Iāll do whatever I can to support it should the creators find some way to continue.
The message to ākeep moving forwardā is one of the most important aspects of RWBY, and came straight from the man who started it all. I can only hope to honor that request, along with all the incredible people Iāve met over the years as Iāve been a part of this community.
For those of you who subscribed to my channel because you too love this crazy, fantastic show, thank you all, and take heart.

I thought Iād do something a little different, and show you guys a supercut of the various previous versions of my latest AMV. 9 in total, made over the course of about 2 months of editing. You can see what scenes were added first, what got changed, and the various stages I go through in my editing process.
(PS: It goes from left to right, top middle and bottom in order of progression, except for the center screen which is the latest version.)

This channel is devoted to AMVs of RWBY (for the most part). All likes, comments, and subscriptions are greatly appreciated.
As for myself, I'm just a college student with a lot of time on his hands, and a great love of RWBY.
Whether you're new or old to my channel, I'm glad you're here, and I hope you enjoy the show!
