''Torture'' – Harry Potter (2006 comparison)

Today is a sentimental day for me because it's my true "anniversary" as an editor. I actually posted my very first video on the now-defunct ArtisticAlley.org on November 26, 2005 – fourteen years ago! I was fourteen at the time (hence my very creative user name of Jae_14) which means I've had this hobby for exactly half my life now. Which is a little crazy. I know my Digimon portfolio isn't much, but when I was a young lass with basically zero responsibility and a strangely inflated ego (really, I thought my shit videos were fantastic and I was so proud of them back in the day)... I completed 54 Harry Potter videos in about 18 months.

This is not my very first video, but it's a rare piece for me because I actually had two versions in my archive. The original was made in February 2006, around the beginning of my Harry Potter career, and the remake was made only nine months later in November 2006, around the time that I stopped making live action videos. This makes it extremely satisfying for me to watch because I can see how much I improved.

The footage quality: improved 75% (my encoding is still pretty bad, lol)
The editing quality: improved 100%
The story quality: improved 1,000%

I've always loved writing and what's kept me interested in editing for so long is the fact that it gives me a chance to tell a story. I have a lot of Harry Potter "stories" in my vault, so I figured that I would celebrate my anniversary by sharing some of them with you. I'm sure they won't get too many views, but I hope these videos find their way to the right people eventually :)
