Creator Notes: So, I switched from Premiere to Da Vinci Resolve and updated my GPU last winter. After clearing out some IRL work, was interested in taking my new setup out for fanvid making. I poked around and found a fan exchange then spent days searching for anything with which I was remotely familiar. I eventually finally found a series of prompts that were well within my scope.
