TAKE THIS VIDEO. PLEASE.

Post by Kai Stromler » Fri Aug 16, 2002 10:31 am

I have a problem, and this forum seems to be a productive way to solve it.

Problem: I am the only creator on the .org who has EVER used the music of Sentenced, an awesome melancholic post-death-metal band from Finland. I've done four videos with their music, and have two more planned using material from their new CD, _The Cold White Light_. However, I also have a third idea, to do "You Are The One" from this album using Love Hina.

This is the problem. I do not want to do this video. I don't think I could stomach doing it. I'm sure that it could become an excellent video, but as a metalhead and considering my past work, I don't think that I could live with myself if I did this video, assuming I could bring myself to make it.

This is a good idea, but I don't want to have to follow through with it. If someone else, perhaps with fewer attachments to the metal way of thinking, would take this video and run with it, I would sleep a lot better at night.

The specific reasons why I'm throwing this one out: "You Are The One" is a decent song on its own, but as metal and coming from Sentenced it is somewhat lame. The combination with Love Hina is somewhat obvious, and the mix of less metal song and well-known anime might well result in wide recognition for something that completely mismatches what SH is all about. If your studio is not committed to the promotion of true metal, this may be a good idea.

That is all, thank you for your consideration, and SOMEBODY PLEASE TAKE THIS VIDEO!
