Ok. Song for Gasaraki

Akulious · Post by **Akulious** » Mon Apr 26, 2004 8:24 pm

I've been listening to music high and low and I have yet to find a song for this series. It is one of my favorites but I haven't got a clue on what I should focus on.

I have a few things which I could do.

Romance (focus on the two protaganists and their love affairs)

Action (focus on the TA's and the action sequences as well as the production line)

Drama/Political (focus on the politcal ties between Japan and the US as well as the Middle-East and the corresponding corperations involved)

Humor (focus on trying to make the series funny, which will definitely be one helluva challenge)

Any suggestions for a theme I could work with (as well as possible song list?)

Actually, making a humourous vid out of a serious series, even something like Gasaraki, isn't really that hard. Just take a look at my last three vids. But anyways, for this genre you could go with something absolutetly insane like Ska Robot Army by the Aquabats, or how about Polka Power by Weird Al Yankovic? It could work. I swear.

As for action, perhaps Feuer Frei by Ramstein?

Thanks for the input bud. I'll try a humorous one after this next one as I have finally decided (w00t)

It's something that has never been done before at the .org.

I'll say what song publicly after I get the majority of the video done.

Good juice. I'll be interested in hearing what you decided on.

More than anything I would like to see if I progressed. So If you could take a gander at my first vid (check profile for AMV, its located at the bottom). And then I'll send you the first 43 seconds of this one (2nd in the making) so you can see my evolution as well as the song choice (which I think really fits). I'll send it via AIM. Or I can place it on my webspace. Your choice, bud.

I'm trying to find a way to make WMM2.0 do the flashy light effect - if there is any idea on how to make this work, lemme know, please. Cuz that is one way I want to "spice-up" my video.

Ok, I'll try and see what I can do. I don't have broadband, and I generally can't spend much time online at once. BUt, I will try and see if I can't get blasted Opera to work for once. As to the effect you want to do (a strobelight, I believe) just make a completely white (or color that you want) picture in paint, and do some cutting and put in where you want. Just keep it even (I'm not sure how accurate you can get with WMM2.0, but try to get it around 5 frames of white or whatever color at a time). Hope that helps.

Thanks bud.

Since its nearing completion I'll let you know (and any lurker)

Soilwork - Needlefast.

It worked out wonderfually here are the lyrcs:

Well,it's one for the money,two for the show it makes
no difference where I'll go Push injections in my skin
To make my mission begin Needles to fly,needlefeast,
needles to die,needlefeast Gotta get inside,gotta get
inside,needles to die needles to fly Burning up my
hunger,lay it all to rest! Waking up my hostile pain,
put it to the test When all is said and done I tell you
I'm the one The one to reign supreme I'm like a
brickwall I'm a solid player and I'm standing tall Who
can make me fall On this very road...Needles to fly,
needlefeast,needles to die,needlefeast Gotta get
inside,gotta get inside,needles to die needles to fly
Fly!Fly!Fly!

[Chorus]
This life I cannot face it,with the writings on the wall,
this time - it's hard to face it As I'm screaming what am I
doing here ?!!

I bite the days like a suctionpump Another breath,
another punch It makes me catch my breath Needles
to fly,needlefeast,needles to die,needlefeast Gotta get
inside,gotta get inside,needles to die needles to fly Fly! Fly!
Fly!

[Chorus]

Before you steal my breath away I like to know if I was led
astray Neurosis comes to me at night,It holds the truth
cause I'm... one for the money,two for the show
Straight to hell is where I go! [x3] Go!Go!Go!

[Chorus]
This life I cannot face it,with the writings on the wall,this
time-it's hard to face it As I'm screaming... What am I doing
here?!! [Repeat]
