My current skin for browsing the site...
^_^
I'm now 1:10 of 3:55 for my music video done.
And yes, I'm happy...
I'll probably do another amv review exchange sometime later.
Also, my friend's FTP, the primary one that's not Devolution's, has more webspace available. I now can host ALL my vids simultaneously.
The question is, how many of you want to see my older works?
:/
Oh well, if curiosity gets the better of you and you want to know how this dance vid madman started out, just drop me a message in icq or use the private msger here!
^_^
later all! -
Mental Block about to break...

I've run into one. Yes, that moment that every amv editor gets sometimes where he just doesn't know what to do for a small amount of time.
GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... >:(
Perhaps I should just ignore the lyrics altogether? Hmmmm...
I've gotten about 1/3 of the vid done and the current results has me with my tongue hanging outta my mouth. So sue me, I like fx.

Video details...

Haven't started on the vid yet. It's only 8:57am here...
Minor spoilers warning...
Minor spoilers warning...
Anyways, video structure:
It has the "interpretive" influence of "Soul of an Angel". Though I wasn't at all affected by ErMaC's amv to make this one. Originally, this video was to be a "remake" of my first one. (which really wasn't all that good. It wasn't Linkin Ball Z however...) ^_^ The original "Shadows of a Dog Demon" used Moonlight Shadow New Vocal version and was nothing more than an action video. This thankfully, is not an action vid.
This song can be seen as sung by either Kikyo, or Kagome. One person who saw the Beta for this video suggested that it could be Kaede narrating a STORY! Talk about shocking.
Unlike other videos I've made, this is probably my most symbolic. The footage I needed was a Big ITCH to find. (Again, emphasis on caps) It also tells quite a story. Similar in effect to "Fire of Man's Desire". If you notice closely, Naraku makes an appearance as the man who "indirectly" shoots Inu Yasha. Though some people may be into "exact" lyric sync, alternatefutures suggested a more "figurative" approach to lyrics. This is something I need to take note of.
The vids focus (yes I've written it down in my skull) is almost purely based on Kikyo vs. Kagome and thanks to the ENORMOUS amount of eps I have for this anime, I now have MORE than enough footage with Kikyo's gorgeous presence. It's a shame she's dead. [sniffle...]
This journal entry's gonna be too long for my tastes...
The video also was intended to have 0% fx, but as I listened to the song, I realized that would have been the easy way out and after watching the video with 0 fx, it looked more like a "profile" video. So, like "Dancing Stars" which has a digital effect called "Vertigo Strobe", this video will have an effect throughout which is a symbolic representation of the song itself. Using my 1337 naming skills, (you can stop laughing now...) I call this effect, "Tapestry Illusion." Though I'm sure some of you will simply call it "90% zoom on a Black and White template..." ^_^ I DO hope you don't take this too seriously. 0_0
Being the last video for "Feel the Rhythm". I can feel a sense of pressure building on my spine. It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure we all know what FtR was intended for. It's been a fun ride, and although I wish I could continue it, this series is coming to a close at 4 videos. There IS an "unofficial" 5th video, but that's really not doing much justice to it.
I'm not trying to overhype or anything like that. I'll let the video speak for itself. I've never executed a "drama" extreme video before. Hakura's "Eden" is one definitely for you all to enjoy. Pyro Wolf's "In the Arms of Vash" video is good too. icechai's "To Love You More" is more my taste in terms of "Romance". (Yes I'm a dance addict, sue me. And unlike ErMaC, I CAN'T play DDR with elite skillz) My only hope is that FtR can leave an impression. It doesn't have to be lasting. Just something like, "Hey, that was fun. Let's go on that ride again!"
Aokakesu, Odorikuruu, I salute you!

[wow, it's now 9:15am, this took too long to type!] -
The server does work... however...
2002-07-01 22:55:17
It does get busy. My main server along with Devo's maybe having problems. But hey, don't we all? We can only just weather the storm and keep trying.
Thanks DD for reviewing Kagome's Heart. I know you'll get it so I'm thanking you ahead of time.
^_^
In other news, I got 40% of the lyrics synched in "Moonlight Vengeance". That means the vid is about 28% finished.
I'm not sure if I'll put it into the "dance" category. Yes, I know it's a surprise but the video, as Aclontz put it, may be the first "artistic dance" video.
:?
wha?
Yes, I'm not sure where else to put it! ^_^ -
The dream is changing...

YOWZA!
Something inside my skull must have snapped during the making of "Fire of Man's Desire"...
I'm growing my new and final "Feel the Rhythm" music video into a (gasp) symbolism video!
Lyric matching has almost been completely eliminated in favor of figurative action synchronization.
Hard to explain, if you wish, I can send you a 3.01 Meg "test.avi" to have a little taste of the video.
Simply send me an AIM (AV2JA) or ICQ (14776321) request and I'll file send it to you.
So far, the video may turn out to be thick with plot and theme. 0_0 Talk about a shock to me. It kind of resembles an "Aluminum" video. Though the difference is noted.
I'll say more as it develops.
In other news, my Martial Arts Instructor decided to give me a raise along side the commission I recieve for signing people up! Woo hooo! I love being paid under the table. It feeds my anime thirst weekly! I just wish I was smart and didn't dive into collecting 7 anime at the same time! Oh well... Priuscomet (Jackie) made a choice to visit me during Winter Break. I hope you can put up with snow... It's also a great excuse to stay inside and watch anime till one's body atrophies!!!
