Shamanic Princess DVDs ripped!
2005-12-21 01:47:16
Yeah, I'm getting serious now. Now that the DVD has been ripped, I'm workin' on the project files...
Wife says I should consider using Eiko's "Galaxy's Child" for the video. If I were to do that, there'd be a lot of flight footage... ^_^
Hmm, says the song is happier, but I still like Spica better. Star of Memory works with a song title like that I think... -
Special fx update...
2005-12-13 14:49:00
Ah, more Guild Wars, Finals Week, and the marker of infinity I will create to distribute across the internet so it will be in the hearts and minds of amv lovers 4evar...
I've never, well, almost never, used a 'photograph' b/w effect in my vids before, but came close to doing that in Together - Soothing Symphonic
Star of Memory special fx will be a VERY nasty cross-compilation of custom transparency renderings from Particle Illusion. Some of which I used in the Moonlight Shadow MAD that played in the final DDR Project... [AX0RS...]
Aside from following the rules which come with most standard amvs...
easy on the fx
must have a purpose
needs to be in -order-
etc...
I can take those rules and throw them to heaven, in much the same way fate took my daughter's soul to heaven as well...
This will be for the record, my 2nd most personal video right after Blue Sky Brings Tears...
What makes me cry is that with my skills as they are currently, will I be able to come up with such a smashing lasting tribute for our daughter?...
I don't want to have to work on another experimental series of videos to get to this point, I want Star of Memory to be the video I'll never be able to top, ever... Trick? I need this vid done in as efficient and short of a time as possible as well... Quck... ;_;
My wife is having post-partum depression, which supposed to happen after any childbirth. What sickens me is that she's always acted this way even before we had a child... God, I pray she grows up and becomes responsible quickly. I did say for better or for worse but wow... It's a good thing I have the patience of a rock for not moving... ^_^ -
Dec. 7, 2005, in loving memory...
2005-12-13 01:37:11
Me and my wife have been diagnosed and gave birth to a stillborn baby on this date. It has struck both our families quite hard and we're reeling from it. Yes, I didn't post it here but now I want more than just us to know. Anyone who cares please offer prayers for Baby Angel Aguila...
;_;
As such, my wife and I have decided to work on two pieces of computer art in loving memory of our daughter...
I intend to create one of my only 'personal' vids once more...
Title: Star of Memories
Special FX set: same name*
Song: Spica by Lia [I've Sound, the most angelic voice of all the I've artists]
Anime: Shamanic Princess
Since it's still the most, if not one of the most beautifully designed and conceptual anime ever created, and also as the anime for the anniversary gift I've made for my wife since we started dating, I figured using my favorite Lia I've Sound song along with this anime is a fitting marker for our daughter...
We miss you down here and hope you'll come back to us in the future, hopefully...

W00HAH!!

I now dethrone Please Teacher from my #1 anime list and toss up the very questionable GIRLS BRAVO!!!
Both seasons of course...
Thing is, the dub did something the original sub didn't do. The dialog has a VERY nice soft and touching feel at some points. The digisub of Girl's Bravo first Season ep 1 didn't make me cry but the dub did for some reason.
Sure there's no sex, but hey, it's still good. Great music, a nice balance of goofiness, sex service, and love-love feeling all rolled into 24+ eps of zany!!
TIME FOR A NEW AMV TRIBUTE!!!
[and to make new avatars for the org!] -
From good to bad...
2005-11-22 21:28:03
My day was going ugly in the morning, but then some stuff happened that was quite a twist and it just turned out for the better....
Now, what I knew would happen has happened. More words are being stuffed into my mouth from my mother-in-law. I don't like that. I REALLY hate people who use implication to make matters worse. What you see and what you hear is what you should get.
That's one of the reasons why I hate sarcasm. It's lying on purpose and making it obvious... Fuck...
What I say seems to not be what they get so from now on, I suppose it's best I avoid speaking to my in-laws altogether since my American way of thinking independently and using my brain for the good of my own family is obviously something they don't give two shits about... I either kiss their feet showing respect or be hated...
I can't kiss the foot of someone I'm afraid to be around so I won't...
In other news... AMV possibilities abound, quitting my job was a good idea. The holiday hours are literally ripping me in half. No way...
All I can do now is hunt and pray for that job that will come if I hunt for it hard enough...
The predator is patient, though hungry, he will catch his prey eventually. The moment he gives up is when the prey wins...
I'm not the type to give up easily. Let me put up one hell of a fight, and should I get knocked down, to rise after each defeat is to rise victorious. Let me get up again... I don't care how many times life has to knock me down, I won't let it win...
Ever....
