The Quest To Find My Long Lost Chao's Memorabilia

This is by far the best video I have ever edited, not just for YouTube videos but for any project I have ever made. This video is a deep and personal story that I am very happy to be able to share, as it is integral to the purpose of why this video was even made in the first place. I hope you enjoy it.
This video also doubles as a last milestone for multiple things. It's my last video of 2024, the last video I will edit with Filmora (I will be using Vegas Pro 21 from now on), and my last video I recorded with my Blue Yeti microphone, which I have used for the last 7 years (I will be using the Shure M7+ from now on).

Also, I have MUCH more respect for video essay editors now. This is my first "real" video essay and oh my god, I got HUMBLED, because it is so much harder than just putting stream highlights together like I've done for most of my other videos as well as the npesta videos. I'm not sure if I'll make more video essays in the future. I have a couple of ideas, but college starts back for me in a couple weeks, so I will have much less time to work on videos. We'll have to see how it goes.
