Description: This is my part for my own MEP, "Gone too soon. This is a really special video for me, not just cause this is my first MEP and my celebration for being back to the editing world, but also and especially cause it's dedicated to my grandma and everything in the video is something connected to me and her. This song always made me think of her :) Well, I hope you'll like it! Now, for the curious ones, some personal details that are kinda connected to the video: (you don't need to read them, obviously, just... take this as a vent part on my account XD just... if you wanna read them, piece of advice, do it after you watch the video) - My grandma has been and is still now one of the most important persons in my life, she was a second mother, a best friend, a safe heaven, all wrapped up in one. I lost her six years ago and there is still no single day that goes by without me thinking of her. I miss her more than words can express. - I was actually 22 when my grandma passed away, so I wasn't a little kid anymore. Still, that's how I felt. Losing her has been the harshest thing that ever happened in my life, even if I knew it was supposed to happen that didn't make it any easier. - My grandma was a huge Disney fan, we loved to watch disney movies together, especially the old classics. She was also a passionate reader and she definitely transmitted it to me. - "The rescuers" (that you can see playing in the background in the kitchen) is the first movie I ever saw at cinema: I was 2 and I was, of course, with my grandma: she was scared I wouldn't be able to focus and that I would get bored cause I was so young but I actually watched the entire movie barely blinking. I can actually still remember the emotions I felt back then. - "The princess and the frog" (from where I took the book Anne Marie and Widow Tweed are reading) is the last movie we watched together at cinema: when I told her that Disney was doing fairy tales again we were both so excited! We both loved it (even if, at cinema, I spent more time checking on her than watching the movie!) - My grandma was a hardcore fan of hand-drawn animation, when companies started to convert to CGI she was really upset. She changed her mind and said that CGI could be as powerful as hand-drawn and could have as much heart watching "Finding Nemo". That's why there's a Nemo doll on the tea-set table. - "Tangled" was actually supposed to come in theatres before "The princess and the frog": I followed the developing of the movie for years and me and my grandma were really excited about it, Rapunzel was one of our favourite fairy tales. Unluckily, the movie came one year too late. I never managed to watch it with her. That's why I put a Rapunzel's book in the kitchen and then a "Tangled" poster in the 'present day' room. ("Tangled" is also one of my favourite movies ever, although I don't actually have a "Tangled" poster in my room, I have a huge "Up!" poster x3) - When my grandma got sick in her last period, me and my mom turned into her 24/7 nurses. That period was really stressing and I couldn’t focus on anything in the bref free time I had: that’s actually how and why I got on YT and started editing, to seek distraction and stress relief. The only thing I regret is that I never managed to show her my videos. I know she would have loved them. - I actually 'never got to say goodbye': on that last day I woke up feeling sick, I helped my mom a bit but then my mom told me to go rest cause it was really showing I wasn't ok (My grandma didn't notice cause I became a great actress around her in that period, I was always happy and cheerful, but I was the only person that managed to make her smile, I regret nothing). I went to sleep again and woke up several hours later, when I did my grandma was in a coma, and only a few hours later she died. I know it's a stupid regret cause I could do nothing and... I had been there for her all along, but... I still feel like I should have stayed. Well, if you actually read all this, thanks. This is one of the hardest videos I've ever made, not just for all the masking and background and props (made more than 40!) or the challenging stuffs I made, but also for all the tears it has been made with! I hope you'll like it!
