good point, i don't think bakadeshi left an ftp address. i'll make a note of that in the page...

also i spellchecked your monologue, and edited parts where you used first person ("I" or "me") because rose4emily will be reciting all the monologues (I think) and it'd be odd for rose4emily to be saying "I" when its your video. this is what i came up with:

Simplicity was created solely for this collaboration. Before becoming part of the Instrumentality project, Ooshna had never created a video using music without vocals. The first challenge for him was just finding a suitable song, but after that, Simplicity seemed to just flow together. The clips used were selected to match the eerie and depressing tone of the song. Because the video would have lost much of its gloominess with too many effects, effects were limited to simple fades created with the rubberband function. Thus, the name Simplicity.

tell me if there's anything you don't like.



and rose4emily: i've summarized the important information of the entire thread on to a web page linked in the project banner in my sig, although it's still not a bad idea to go through the pages you've missed since you last posted. and i'm eagerly awaiting the new ftp.



and everyone:
i took out the paragraph in my monologue that goes through my video chronologically:
The piece begins with a soft and gentle melody over a progression of unresolved chords. As the chords are elaborated, the music modulates to the minor, creating a dark and troubled mood. By the third minute, the functions of the bass and melody switch -- the bass plays the eighth notes while the melody plays the chords, suggestive of strong movement with the rapid motion in the bass. The music returns to the original theme, eventually fading to a gentle ending.
because it kinda gives away the video, and it makes the monologue too long. i think to make some of the longer monologues (like otohiko's, pen-pen's, and bakadeshi's) shorter, it'd be the best section to remove. your thoughts?

Well I've put it off long enough...

My Monologue:
I wrote:The first video submission the creator was going to use was quite different from the one he ended up finishing for the project. It was a techno-based, fast-paced song. And although instrumental, it was the only genre of song independent among the other submissions. So, he was forced to change, but for the better.

The second and final iteration of his submission was a song he'd known for well over quite a few years, but had never thought of using in a video. It was from the band Acoustic Alchemy. This was basically the starting point of finding his second instrumental piece. One that was different, but not too different from the rest. After seeing Fullmetal Alchemist a few months ago, he had once thought of using the band to it (since the film is coincidentally based off the ability to use "Alchemy"), however he never got around to it. That was until he started listening for songs for the project, and found "The Alchemist."

You could say that coincidence struck again, but he found the song able to match with the chronological tone of Fullmetal Alchemist, and used a technique of massive fading to build confluence to the acoustic guitar's style of play. It was difficult for him to time things perfectly, since if anything was off, the fading would do little but annoy the audience. Also, the creator struggled with keeping himself from any other special effects, but did at some times in order to match the audio. If anything, the creator wished for the video to accomplish a near-complete summarization of Fullmetal Alchemist while mimicking the notes and beats of the music; creating a video that is an adaptation of both song and film.
I hope it will do. :oops:

I'm sorry to do this, but I have learned the hard way that VDubMod and NTFS drives don't seem to mix well. The hard way being a crash and subsequent reformat. This means it's gone. Even the FTP server program was lost, not to mention all the files. (At least I saved my 10 gig of AMVs)

At this point, with Rose's server coming back, and Ooshna's offering much better speed, resurrection is probably more trouble than it is worth.


Oh, and Maverick, that might be too long.

Whoa DWP, nice site!! One thing tho: the full screen resolution is supposed to be 512x384.

My new comp is fully up and running now, so expect the monologue/screens/huffyuv upload/etc soon.
