Naughty Song ^_^

   Ok so there has been a big gap since the last post so this one is well worth it. Started watching this AMV and about fell out the chair, some friends that were over said that they'd be singing that song at work all week.

The Darkest of Places

About the Anime
Simply put, half the show is about the romantic relationship between the Senjougahara and Araragi.
The other half is about a constant argument between two values: The rational vs the idealistic, with Araragi as Mr. Nice Guy seeking happy end for everyone. Solution of supernatural abnormalities as the topic of the argument.

Hachikuji, Kanbaru, and Hanekawa's arcs develop the relationship of leading couple while offering a new topic to the story. Each arc is an incident focused on a different girl, but the all arcs combine to show a whole picture of Araragi and Senjougahara closing their personal distances.

"Bakemonogatari" is essentially a verbal performance with visual support. Story is driven by back and forth debate on various issues.

Paranoia Drift

    This AMV isn't related to the anime movie The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Toki wo Kakeru Shojo), but the creator used the scenes so well to portray feeling they were going for. An excellent AMV with psychedelic visuals, character profiling, seriousness, and horror.





About the Anime
    If you suddenly gained the ability to quite literally leap through time, what would you use it for? The sheer fun of it? Getting better grades? Or something else? What if you merely wanted the present to continue; to still live out those memorable days with your friends, playing around and having fun; rejecting the future and not wanting things to change? In Toki wo Kakeru Shojo, a girl is presented with this exact possibility. She suddenly finds out that she has been granted the ability to travel through time, and uses this ability for the purposes mentioned above. At first she tries to correct all the mistakes she made that same day she got the ability; from preventing making a mess out of things in cooking class to dodging people being hurled towards her. And before soon, she tries to keep the times from changing, undoing love confessions and other events which can change her and her two friends' lives.

However, everything has a consequence. 

    Even the seemingly most insignificant and puerile of acts can have grave consequences, as such acts are often made out of ignorance or selfishness; both which are traits that rarely bring out a good result if actions are based on them. Our heroine has to learn this the hard way, as she sees how fateful her so-called insignificant acts are, and how wrong she is in her childish beliefs. What she want is merely to keep the fun times around; with her and her two beloved friends. She wants time to stop, to remain in the present. However, time is inexorable; the future is relentlessly closing in on us. And she has to learn this the hard way. But she learns. Through hardships, through death, and most important of all, through love, she learns that the future is not something to be avoided. Rather it is something to be cherished; something one should embrace.

    And that is the basics of the plot and characters in this story; a girl who repeatedly travels back in time to keep the times as they are, and actually learns during this process that it is better to look forward and into the future rather than intransigently dwell on the present. Her two friends aren't focused on that much, but both are portrayed beautifully when they are, both the though-shelled Chiaki and the obliging Kousuke. Accompanying the beautiful plot is a standard-fare movie animation; which means beautiful and detailed landscapes, cityscapes and backgrounds. And while character movements are fluid, the designs themselves are a bit lackluster, and should have been more detailed. The soundtrack which follows on top is equally beautiful, with serene piano tracks accompanying the at times laughter-provoking and at times melancholy story, and a somewhat expected, yet beautiful ending theme.

    Toki wo Kakeru Shojo is a beautiful movie, which is good for many things, but especially its underlying hints about looking towards the future and accepting that the present will change as well as the simple message that every act has a consequence; especially childish and ignorant acts at that. And even if such themes does not interest you, I think this beautiful story is well worth spending one and a half hour of your life watching ( Source: MAL)

Anime/Manga Video

    This is an amazing instrumental Anime/Manga Music Video, the music and video have been synced, sort of like a music visualizer (really sweet) and the visuals are simple amazing. This AMV made me very interested in what the series is about, with all the different magical creatures and what not. The creator of the video did a great job of selecting scenes from the Manga and the Anime, bringing together a really awesome experience. Still a fan of manga so MMVs always grab my attention.

Synopsis

Natsume's just an ordinary kid, except he can see spirits, just like his grandma Reiko could. Reiko, though, used to bully the spirits, and bound them to her will in the "Book of Friends". Now that Natsume has inherited this book, a never-ending stream of spirits is coming after him. With the help of a spirit "cat" (who really just wants Natsume to die so he can have the book), Natsume spends his days dissolving the contracts that bind the spirits and trying not to get killed.

Music Video Made in Blender

    On the BlenderNation website there was a post from a long time Blender user titled 
"27 inspirational and jaw dropping Blender creations", by the community of course. After watching them, definitely recommended checking them all out, the longest one was under 10 minutes.

    Well 1 of those 27 videos is a music video, it was a good one to. It definitely inspires one to create a music video with Blender. Any who the title for the video is  Kopek-Stop and the artists web page is @ Online Portfolio of Eoin Duffy



   Don't forget Blender is Open Source Software that is free, there are hundreds of different learning resources that are also free and most of them are great quality. BlenderGuru is one example of great free tutorials. Andrew provides the a base file to start with, and the one he finished, plus other things like the textures are available, and when you open the .blend file it has all the textures and everything down to the layout of the program windows and buttons from the last person who saved the file (again all with free software).

Music Visualizer AMV

     Really like this post's AMV, and am inspired to recreate it with with my favourite aspects from visualisers like milkdrop with Blender, GIMP and OpenShot. That would be crazy and probably look really awesome, but wouldn't look like what imr3ssiv has created which is really "impressive" to say the least.

This AMV was created by: impr3ssiv [Untamed Illusions Studio]

Music by: Nalepa - Monday (Glitch Mob Remix)

Multi-Anime: Evangelion 1.11, Evangelion 2.22, Ghost in the Shell 2.0, Innocence: Ghost in the Shell, The Animatrix, Appleseed Ex Machina, Macross Zero, Ergo Proxy, Vexille, Pale Cocoon, Code Geass, Freedom

1st Creation!

    With a little help from various tutorials online have finally slapped together an AMV. It's not much, more like a sample of what's to come. Just been playing around with OpenShot and Blender to get comfortable and prepare for a more thoroughly planned out AMV. It's not even a full song, but it was a first go (hello world). The music isn't synced just slapped it over the video for sound.


Note: the 3d animated text near the end of the video was me using blender not the animated titles provided by OpenShot (that are actually using blender through python scripts and allot better). Click the video to goto youtube and watch in HD

    Again OpenShot is a super simple video editor that does some amazing things, Blender on the other hand is a whole other story. Looking at Blender for the 1st time can be scary, but with a little patience ones imagination can be brought to fruition. Can't wait to keep

New Year!

    Hello everyone, it's gonna a be a good New Year, and am looking forward to it. Have been busy with many projects. Am glad to be a member of  the OpenShot Video Editor. The project could always use contributors such as translators.

    Another project underway is the development of my video game, yet to be named. It is a simple game that has arcade style gameplay made with the help of Unity 3d game engine.

    Haven't posted a good AMV in along time so am glad to have found a good one based off of Naruto Shippuden. Just about every AMV for Naruto that I've seen was completely lame, scenes chopped up in windows movie maker and laced with Linkin Park. Every one shoould do them selves a favor and check out the power of Free Software (open source).
