  • Looking for inspiration 2004-02-20 00:06:00 I seems that every time I start a new AMV when I got everythign ready the drive as well as the ideas go blank for me these days. I just seem to get anythign right with it nowadays. I guess that means to take it easy AMV wise. However I think maybe to try and relight that spark of inspiration I may want to join up in flint and farlo's Iced Earth project. I dont know much about it, just only that it has something to do with just one album. Its cool either way I reall NEED to make a METAL AMV, I feel like Metallica nowadays, I haven't made a truly rockin' AMV since Sounds Of War 2 and that was nearly 2 years ago. I would be interested in any one of their albums. I think this is around the time where I would love to work with other AMV creators on something. Every venture AMV wise I have went into I always went into alone or having the most stroke (power in decision). I think it would be good for me to do something like this. I dont know how much of a help I could be with them I am probably one of the most technologically impaired AMV maker in the amount of AMV makers that have been around for 3+ years. I want to do this for more experience in the special effects department, want to do a METAL AMV, not to mention I am bored as hell when I am outside. I want ot make an AMV but I have been a emotional roller coaster these days that whatever idea I had for awhile don't last.

    Either way I have had alot of Iced Earth ideas on the back burner that I would keep for the right time. Probably the strongest ones are

    Dante's Inferno by Iced Earth - Devil Lady, Devil man, Beserk (last episodes), Evangelion), and whatever anime I can find with elements of hell and such
    Red Baron/Blue Max by Iced Earth - Epyon (Gundam Wing)
    Ghost Of Freedom by Iced Earth - Yui Ikari (Evangelion) - Very strange idea, if I could switch the mother and father part this song would be perfect for her.

    of course I had other ideas (check former juournal entries) but those are the strongest.

    I am interested in any of the Iced Earth albums, even though I think Horror Show would be the one I would want but if Farlo wants Wicked, Dark Saga, Burnt Offerings, Night Of The Stormrider, Iced Earth, or The Glorious Burden I am game to it since I love all those albums (even though I have Days Of Purgatory with Barlow playing some of the first two albums, it think his vocals on them are much better).

    It all depends if they except me or if I can except the burden. I will try, but if they dont want me in thats alright either way I got two ideas I will be attempting one way or the other (espacially Holy Wars).

    Well I better get to playing Quake 3. Trying to better my reflex action, its not good as it used to be. 
  • just not cut out for special effects 2004-02-15 02:36:09 Well after looking at what I have done with the special effects, its obivous I ain't cut out for it. So I deleted what I done with it, i might as well stick to old school. Because what I did fel tlike to me it was ruining more than doing good. At least now I know a new trick that I can use when I feel it can be used thanks to flint_the_dwarf (AMV maker, fellow metal head). So what does that mean for Moto Psycho, I hav enearly lost interest in making it and I feel like I want to do this "Rock Out" project or at least do it. So I will try and wrap up Moto Psycho this weekend, if I still dont think its good enough then I will just save waht I did as a future reference I can try next time around. right now I want to my next project to be a total ass kicker and just my style, I doubt any special effects will be used, just some old fashioend stuff, thats what i am good at.

    Rock Out! - Shake Your Blood by Probot with Lemmy Kilmister - Black Heaven

    After looking at Moto Psycho its a worthy remake but honestly it wouldn't get good reviews hosted so I might as well slate it complete until I find better ideas to make it better not to mention having Rj here, because thats one thing I wish I had, a behind my shoulder second opinion, which is something thats VERY hard to find in around me without hearing a dumbfounded "I dunno".

    As for Living After Midnight, not until I am in the right mood for it again. It seems these day I am more in tune with creating new stuff that going to my back catalog because it seems no body really respects it more than my new stuff these days. I mean BOOH1 only got 3 stars, I am not surprised, it seems I got to pull a Euphoria (overdose of special effects) to get some attension but if you didn't know special effects are not my thing. Anyways I thank Flint for teaching this old dog a new trick.  
  • Another Valentines Day alone 2004-02-14 01:40:50 What else is new, I am a loner in this city, nev rhad a girlfriend, still a vrgin. Marks of a loser you can say. I will spent this day making the AMV or at least trying to finish it up and working. Either way not very romantic. However today I got a very good idea for an AMV that I think is too good to pass up. However I got to finish Moto Psycho before I want to do it. I would have to cancel doing the remake Living After Midnight to do it. Mostly because I want to start working on Dirty Deeds in March. It all depends on what happens. I have fallen for this song "Shake Your Blood" the only good song on the Probot album I bought today, I wish the rest of the album was like it, Lemmy was fucking killer and I love the music video to it as well with all the Suicide Girls (models, not your typical barbie women) in there. It idea is too good to pass up so if it gets to the point I will finish Moto Psycho and do it.

    Right now I am watching a bit of (at least what I got) of the bootleg of Iced Earth in Montreal, I hope they play stuff from my favorite Iced Earth album (an album I dont think many like) Horror Show. I love it because I love that old fashioned horror character folklore, I am a big time movie nut. Rj my friend who is Shadow Productions, used to be at least he is not making AMVs anymore, he continuously nagged me into the band. Now I am forever grateful he got me into the band, I love their music. For years I looked for a band that could play the type of metal I like to hear. Hard, yet heavy, and with vocals that can kick my ass, usually its either heavy or har,d never both (unless its Motorhead but the vocals are not high pitch). Iced Earth quenches my metla thirst every time, with Barlow or with Owens it dont matter. I am just mad because I wont make it to the Vancouver show. I wish they came to Alberta.

    I only not even half done this (its still downloading off Kazaa), no Horror Show yet (damn) I really want to here Barlow play Dracula.

    Anyways I started doing the special effects. Well I did a little bit of it today. The main thing for me at least doing it yesterday was getting in sync with the guitar, tried every frame but too fast, tried every 2 frames and it seems to be in sync with the guitars better (at least I hope) I wont know until I finish that scene and look over it. I am starting to have my doubt of it looking as good as I envisioned it but then thats just me I always think negative. I think Today I may do something special and release Bat Out Of Hell 1, just for the sake of it being Valentines Day and quite honestly maybe it will get my mind off my lonely hermit mndset. I spend my days making AMVs, trying to play guitar better, weight lifting and work. At least I am trying to play guitar better, I could never learn to get it all quite right.

    I have too much on my plate these days my goals are

    1)make the AMV that would give me more respect in the AMV community (you know and AMV people would remember me for down the line when I stop, like people remember Brad for "Engel")

    2)get a body like professional wrestler the healthy way (eating 12 eggs a day, protein shakes/bars, not to mention the chicken)

    3)get revenge on a former friend for cheating against me in a game and taking advantage of me not knowing my way out of a paper bag when it comes to computer tech

    4)Play better guitar so when I go to Cambells Music store and and instead of gock (Canadian slang for stare) at the beatiful Gibson guitar or the guitar Jon Schaffer uses I can buy it and kick ass with it.

    5)lets not forget saving enough to survive SAIT and actually get accepted into there.

    My eating habits over the years have become more and more healthy. I beleive the most un healthy think I put in my body these days is pepsi and maybe on a rare occasion Molson Canadian beer or Lambs Rum (for those special nights I am desparately in need of inspiration). Nowdays my diet is this when its a day I need to weight lift.

    Corn Flakes with 1% milk
    Power Bar (boost of energy)
    weight lift for an hour, or until th emuscles I am working get blood tight and hard
    get home and chug a protein shake down (the shakes I drink are disgusting)
    eat a Plus Protein Power Bar
    then 12 eggs
    Then i would eat nothing till the night and if it is anything its usually a Ham sandwich (Ham, lettuce, mayonase, regular cheese) with Sobe:Dragon Juice.

    if anything else its a pepsi here and there (I can never quit pepsi).

    As for Pizza I used to eat it every day now I have it once a week maybe not even.

    I love Canadian winters but i wish it was summer, just so I could walk to the gym or bike to the wrestling class without having to worry about getting a ride, thats the reason why I can't go to the wrestling clas smuch because I can get up but I can't get down, buses usually don't come around until an hour later and I usually got to work and half after I get out so I am screwed. As for weight lifting i just wish instead of wanting to work more on the AMV, I kick my own ass into the weight room.

    Either way I have seen little imporvements but not much when it comes to mass. Of course my belly will never see a 6 pack no matter how much I use the rowing machine or do crunches of any kind.

    Sort of cringing because there are 6 parts i need to do the special effects for in this sort of short song. I might as well start right now I guess. Doesn't look like this Iced Earth download will get and faster.

    For all the lucky people who are in love, happy valentines day. For all the loners like me, check out Bat Out Of Hell 1 remake maybe sometime today.
     
  • Back In Business 2004-02-12 12:31:30 Thanks to flint_the_dwarf I am back in business today on my "Moto Psycho" remake. Now its all depending on me and my patience to do it. Either way I repayed him by reviewing two of his AMVs. Either way I am awak enow, breakfast is next then off to the gym. When I get back its back to work on the parts I plan on using the special effects for.

    He also talked of a Iced Earth project, or at least I just heard of it getting up here. Sounds interesting, I have had a few Iced Earth ideas but neither were strong enough to take up immediately

    Damein by Iced Earth - Brolly (DBZ)(Yes somebody it curse me for saying DBZ but I honestly think it works)

    Jackyl and Hyde by Iced Earth - Perfect Blue (This idea has beena round for a long while, I never wanted to touch it until I got better at lip sync)

    Ghost Of Freedom by Iced Earth - Yui Ikari (Evangelion) - Very strange idea, if I could switch the mother and father part this song would be perfect for her.

    Dante's Inferno by Iced Earth -(Devil Lady, Devil Man, Beserk, Evangelion, Hellsing) - This idea I WILL do someday, however its still just an idea. Anyone who knows me well here knows I love taking on LONG songs (AKA Bat Out Of Hell 1-nearly 10 minutes and part 2 -13 minutes). I got a few anime lined up for this however it still needs more thought and MORE anime.

    Burnt Offerings by Iced Earth - Devil Lady - Since I made two Devil AMVs before I might as well someday make a part three about the Lady Devil, about the fight to keep the beast within her at bay (Barlows normal voice showing the woman herself, the different voice would be the Devil itself)

    Attila by Iced Earth - Beserk(Hawk Leader) or Record Of Lodoss War (Oshram or Beld) - I am either thinking of doing this for Gats or White Hawks leader, most likely the leader. Or I would use Record Of Lodoss War, characters being Beld's army.

    Red Baron/Blue Max by Iced Earth - Gundam Wing (Red Epyon/Zechs) - If there is one AMV in this group I want to do the most, this one is it. However I just have a few GUndam Wing VHS, if wnated to do this I need DVD footage, which I dont have. Till I do this AMV will be in the back burner.

    Dont take these seriously, they are just ideas I have over the years, the only ones I want to do someday is the "Dante's Inferno" and "Red Baron/Blue Max". Maybe I will talk to Flint more about what this Iced Earth project involves.

    For me however I have too many project to juggle through for this spring. I still have two projects I want to get through before the Animethon 11, Otafest, and Anime Evolution deadlines.

    Dirty Deeds project (involving alot of anime)
    Holy Wars project (involving Evangelion)

    onces I get those done then I may consider other things. Either way I may contact him for more info soon. Today its breakfast - gym - home for AMV work - go to work for a few hours - get home and wath Conan O' Brian in Toronto (if there is one today, I dont watch TV much I just want to see it because heard it was good).


    Till then I will shut up I guess.
     
  • 2004-02-11 16:43:26 Well I started work on the "Moto Psycho" AMV today at 1 pm, here it is 2 hours later and I am 20% done it. I plan on working on it till 5:30 today. I wont be working out today. I can't grip my hands very well from weilding an ice pick and ice chooper in my hands slamming it over and over in the ice. I started doing the beginning, I will still have "Shadow Productions" in the credits dispite Rj isn't here in any way shape or form to help me make this AMV. I put him in the credits because it was originally his idea first (I can argue that fact but it dont matter), honestly it goes with the music anyway. I would like him to help me with it but I know he has pretty much stopped in the AMV world no matter how many times he says he is coming back into it, bottomline is "I'm Still Here" and I am ready to make "Moto Psycho" better than it was before. Only problem is that I dont know how to do a certain transition that I have in my mind, its possible because I seen it done in many AMVs, I asked the forum guys if they know how to do it, for the past hour I haven't had a reply yet. I guess if worst comes to worst I will ask the people who done it before themselves and seen how they done it.

    Its all like I said before (on my LJ but since I copy 'n' paste some same stuff on my journal in the ORG I will remind you) if I can get away with using those special effects or more than I will go on that path. If not then I will simply make due with what I got, simple as that and go on with the AMV.

    I got a good idea for a Patlabor AMV while waiting for getting some clips I forgot to get (hoping the old Dominion Tank Police series DVD had the intro without the japanese letters on it, wishful thinking I guess) the idea came from my thinking the entro credits should have something different to them since I am planing on doing a different style of video editing for this AMV (taking if I can learn how to do that transition) I would have another song at the end of the AMV for the credits. After listening to the whole song I got an idea that I hope to remember by the time I get my new anime (if I di get it from Amazon, they are so slow).

    Crush'em by Megadeth - Patlabor

    However there is another song I may use for the entro and keep it unknown, well not to whom reads this "Dawn Patrol" by Megadeth (first 11 seconds) homage to the only time me and Rj mixed imaginations to make what was at the time a good AMV.

    However even now I am looking ahead (always a bad thing) on trying to remake Sweating Bullets again.

    I have probably made a fool of myself because I didn't read one of the other forum posts, maybe the person named Link293 was looking for the same thing I was looking for (I hope not, taking I dont want to make a fool of myself). Well after watching the thing I am looking for is similar to this but I guess just different (using one peice of footage on top of the already playing footage. Both playing just one in blocks playing, dont understand just lookat my post here http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=29707 )

    However I guess i may need this After Effects to do it. :( but i have no money to spend on this at least to spare.
