I'm downloading the dual-audio fandsubbed version of Trigun right now on bittorrent. Since I'm missing DVD volumes 1, 2, and the one DVD with the Rem episode, hopefully downloading these will give me good enough quality to match my DVDs so I can make vids. After I find out how to rip DVDs for videos, that is.

Current Mood: curious

(have you seen Fruits Basket? I'm thinking of something like where they sometimes have spilts screens)

OMG I :love: Fruits Basket!!! Love Love Love. That show kidnapped my inner child and fed it onigiri and ice cream.

Actually, the video I *most* want to make is a general FB vid to "Mr. Blue Sky" by E.L.O, but with a slight Kyo focus (but including clips from all the many characters). That's the song used in the trailer for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I swear that song was WRITTEN for the FB characters, even though it's like 30 years old.

I think One Week would make a pretty cool vid, if you keep up. But I think you're probably a serious enough vidder based on my interaction with you so far on other fandom things, so I think you won't waste that fast beat. :)

And I'm always up for good Trigun vids...

I could point you to some sometime. Do you go to www.animemusicvideos.org? That's the best place for AMVs on the net. You have to register but it's free (and they don't spam you or anything), and then a week after you register you can download videos. And they have THOUSANDS. It's very organized and they even have annual voters choice stuff. Anyway, I have a member account but no vids up...here's my list of favorite vids (several are Trigun, but also there's many Bebop, Naruto, Fruits Basket, etc etc):

They've also got a lot of trailer vids there... I love trailer vids.

It's so easy, you just sign up then you never have to worry about it again. Actually, you can stay logged in permanentlky, but here's a funny thing-- if you choose to stay logged in it doesn't show that you are logged in when you go to the homepage, but if you use the search engine or are looking at the info for a video or something, then your member options appear on your left above the standard options. I don't know why they don't show up on the front page.

huh, okay then.

do you watch Farscape? There's a Farscape vid I could point you to that uses the Coldplay song Politik. Just minimize the window so you're only listening to it, and imagine the Trigun characters. I haven't watched it in a long time, not since I decided to vid the song to Trigun.

Here are the lyrics.

"Politik"

Look at earth from outer space,
[space ships, whee! and planet views of Gunsmoke]
Everyone must find a place,
[the rows of the sleeping pods on the SEEDS ships contrasted to clips of crowds]
Give me time and give me space,
Give me real, don't give me fake,

Give me strength, reserve control,
Give me heart and give me soul,
Give me time, give us a kiss,
Tell me your own politik

Open up your eyes,
Open up your eyes,
Open up your eyes,
Just open up your eyes

Give me one, cause one is best,
In confusion, confidence,
Give me piece of mind and trust,
Don't forget the rest of us

Give me strength, reserve control,
Give me heart and give me soul,
Wounds that heal and cracks that fix,
Tell me your own politik

Open up your eyes,
Open up your eyes,
Open up your eyes,
Just open up your eyes

And give me love over, love over, love over this, ahhh
And give me love over, love over, love over this, ahhh

I was thinking of dividing it into a Vash verse, a Wolfwood verse, a Knives verse, and a Rem/Meryl or Milly/Meryl verse, though in what order I haven't decided yet, intersperced with general images from the show that fit lyrically or thematically or musically. Maybe Vash, then Meryl, then Wolfwood, and then Knives. I think the last two verses go particularly for those characters, especially "Give me piece of mind and trust/Don't forget the rest of us" for Wolfwood (who seems to embody the tragic cynicism and the downtrodden class of the Gunsmoke population) and "Wounds that heal and cracks that fix" for Knives, also a repeat of "reserve control."

For "love over this" I would have more than one pairing, and probably try to present the many familial and platonic loves in the series too. God knows there's all forms of love in Trigun.

::nods:: yup. You're planning to trim this song right?? 'cause it's WAY too long for a vid and it's gonna be demmed difficult to fill those repetitive chords that occur around the chorus without it getting out of control. I mean, if you have a rock solid idea of a theme for each of those areas where it's just one chord played over and over again then it should work, otherwise I would really really encourage you to just snip those bits out because all they're would do is get in the way of the story that you're trying to tell. If you need help with sound editing let me know! (but it's fantastically easier in Premiere ::grins::) Otherwise the song is neat! I can't wait to see what you'll do once you get Premiere...

This is a list of what I would some day like to make:

Buffyverse:
Matthew Good Band - Weapon (Buffy & Giles)
Janis Ian - Watercolors (Spike & Buffy)
Orgy - Fiction [She Dreams In Digital] (Dawn)
Green Day - She (Buffy)

Trigun:
Coldplay - Politik (general)
Alabama 3 - Woke Up This Morning (Wolfwood)
Tori Amos - Raspberry Swirl (general, backward)

Fruits Basket:
Electric Light Orchestra - Mr. Blue Sky (general + Kyo character vid)
Sugarcult - Memory (Kyo/Tohru vid)

Cowboy Bebop:
Eve 6 - Promise (Spike vid, maybe Spike/Faye)
Nada Surf - Blizzard of 77 (character vid, Spike, Faye, Jet)
Jimmy Buffett - Nautical Wheelers (general)

Ranma 1/2:
Eve 6 - On the Roof Again (Ranma)

Naruto:
Tom McRae - A & B Song (Naruto vs. Sasuke vid... this one isn't even possible yet because they haven't fought yet in the anime but I'm certain they will at some point, and then I'll have the proper source footage)

Gundam Wing:
Rolling Stones - Paint It Black (Duo character vid)

Most of these I will probably never get around to making. But that's my dream list... I think I'm gonna copy it to my LJ too.

permetaform

ooo neat! I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to post my complete list, will probably jinx it or something...but I pretty much have one or two possible vids in all the fandoms I write in and a couple of movie fandoms. =) Oh yeah, and a Cowboy Bebop to Someday by Nickleback.
