i'm always late with these things

Jan 05, 2007 23:33

I got my grades for last semester and they’re not bad considering it was the first full semester I worked during, but I got a B in Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers and Art History II, and an A in Introduction to Biology (with my time consuming lab grade smushed in) and Introduction to Mythology. The sucky part is that I was .78% away ( Read more... )

A couple things, though they are not all questions. First I must say I really enjoyed Metamorphosis. I've been a fan of Philip glass [and my fav is his Solo Piano] for a long time now and Firefly as well. I was curious to why you picked to put those two togather.

Also wanted to say you put togather I Hear the Bells really well. So what program do you use to edit these?

Thank you. There was an episode of Battlestar Galactica (I'm not sure if you watch) where Starbuck goes to her old apartment and plays Metamorphosis One, saying it's something her father composed. I instantly fell in love with it and searched the internet for the whole thing. Once I downloaded it, I listened to it over and over again. At the time I was planning to do a vid for every episode of Firefly and the creepiness of the piece seemed to be perfect.

I use Windows Movie Maker for now and I sometimes export frames to Photoshop to edit. :)

Yes, I do happen to watch BSG, and remember that episode well. Have you heard the rest of that cd? It is out of print now, so its not easy to find even to download. The whole thing has a similar feel.

I've heard some.. umm .. unkind things about Windows Movie Maker, and I take it from your 'for now' that you plan on moving on eventually. Obviously some decent work can be made, but it is all that difficlut to use well? And what would you rather use?

I found a website right after the episode aired that had the whole cd on streaming audio, but I couldn't get it to work and I gave up after I found the one song I was looking for. Now that I remember, I'll have to see if my library has it or something. I still adore Metamorphosis, so I'll have to check it out. After I first heard Metamorphosis Five on BSG, I started recognizing his stuff everywhere: The Truman Show, The Hours, The Fog of War, even The Candyman ( ... )

Congratulations on grades! Sucks about the very-nearly-A in art history, but if you honestly thought you were going to fail, then that must have been a huge Yay instead. ;D

This is an awesome meme - I actually haven't seen it going around. May have to gakk it. Love your answers - they are indeed very telling. ;)

PS. Shit, you did a Hex vid to Coma White? That was never completed? *dies* Any hope of resurrection?

kiki_miserychic January 7 2007, 04:18:57 UTC

I really thought I was going to bomb the final because it was online and I had 3 hours to write six essays which were compare, contrast, and analyze 10 artworks.

It's actually the meme from last year, but I didn't finish it last year. I found it when I cleaned my files out labeled: "endofyearvidmeme". :)

OMG, that Hex vid drove me nuts because I started it early on and it was going to focus on Ella’s arc (2x04, 05, 06) when she was sick. I love Hex and there aren't many vids out there, so I wanted to make one, which isn't a good enough reason for me to vid. Sadly, I wasn't motivated enough to follow through, so I abandoned it. At that time the computer was so full I had to delete something and I hadn't worked on the vid in so long, I said screw it and deleted it (along with The Devil's Rejects one). If there's ever a vid amnesty day like there is for fics, I'll let what I finished into the light of day.

Urgh... I had forgotten about your House vid! Must download...

Also, thank you so much for the lovely words about mine. There aren't many vidders that I respect as much as you, so it really means a lot.

kiki_miserychic January 7 2007, 04:31:51 UTC

:) They were from early on, so you can watch and mock me: Softly and Tenderly, Lonely One, You Spin Me Right Round, Hide and Seek. Nicky's is freaking amazing though, so watch that one for sure.

Aww, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside that I'm respected... Let me bask...

bradcpu January 8 2007, 09:24:21 UTC

Urgh (again). Your most recent House vid is an episodic for an episode I haven't gotten to yet. And there's the S2 DVD set sitting right there on the shelf...

EHehhehe, House mocks you with his cane. :)
