  • ...do you...back up offa me 2006-04-28 12:27:14 Haven't posted much here in the last while...

    trying to finish an amv to compete at Otakon this year. Unfortunately I also got begged into doing the AMV opener for anime boston. This means nearly 200 shots have to be complete in a one day shoot and editing with Ian can only take 16 hours max. We are on a HARDCORE time crunch as well.

    I'm excited about it, because I've basically taken on a producer/DP role for it and can stick that on a resume. A good friend of mine from school just got a job with Lion's Gate films and it's inspired me to work harder again. Plug along and get by.

    I keep waffling about whether this AMV I'm trying to rush through is gonna work or not.

    Rap is so underrepresented in the AMV world I'm not sure I can do it at all. Even if I can come up with a video that doesn't completely suck, will it get buried in competition because its rap, and a great deal of anime fans seem to not be big fans of rap (socially conscious rap at that)? It's a consideration that might keep me from competing it, even though I plan to finish it simply to say its done.

    Cowboy Bebop...I haven't watched it in a while...I forgot what a kickass series it is. A series from 98 that looks amazing still in 2006. Of course now I'm freaking out because there's 26 eps to run through to find enough clips to fill Talib Kweli's Get By. Even if I edit the song.

    Alright. Back to that. 
  • live the phrase sky's the limit... 2005-05-23 23:55:24 my titles from now on will be a line from whatever song I'm listening to at the moment I start the entry.

    This is from Sky's The Limit by the Notorious BIG

    FLCL is being ripped to my lacie right now...in prep for an AMV. Song will be John Hiatt's Cry Love...only the second john hiatt amv on the org...so sad...he writes such kick stuff.

    have a very severe sinus cold...makes my brain fuzzy. probably shouldn't be ripping source material yet since I don't have a finished storyboard. Work on that tomorrow at the land of employment. 
  • Ideas...keep seeping in my head... 2005-05-16 23:56:58 I dump ideas here. Some of them are legitimate ones I am working on. Beware of the VERY cliche video pitches I hope to never make but write down because I'm too hopeless a romantic.

    working on a naussica video in between editing a storyboard for a short animation.

    Already have a title Maehve...

    Still need a song...

    Sort of theme going...with me planning on using only footage of her with her "glider" (ACK DISNEY!!! F U for not being more literal in translation). Also want to intergrate actual Manga images as well. Was thinking of doing push pulls in motion and splitting the screen ala samurai jack edit...

    The real problem thing is that I haven't found a song to really inspire a storyline or a song that evokes enough about naussica for it to stand as a character profile. And even then, I'd want some sort of driving story idea if I can do it.

    A comedy piece without a solid show or idea as well...but I have wanted to do something to the wyclef version of stayin'alive.

    Spent most of the weekend shooting a leslie and the ly's video anyways. Me and Brooke ARE competing for the hardest working unpaid video person in the group.
