Latest things meme... (Two posts in one day? Wonders never cease. Enjoy the ADHD flavor rambling below.)
Anyway, thank you always for the tag @kiriele!
Last song:
I have to again preface that most of my music consumption is for vid-related purposes these days.
I came across this hilarious meme that gave me my latest vid idea. It’s a photo of Paris Hilton picking out some ice cream treats, and overlaid on the treats are one Cassian Andor from Star Wars and John Silver from Black Sails. The captain reads “Actually, can I have five more of these [can’t escape the narrative] bitches?” And the OP writes “finally figured out why these two makes me so feral.”
I saw that and I felt like my third eye opened. Like. 🤯 Because there is a perfect thematic vid there showcasing these two’s specific struggles. Especially in the context of resisting an encroaching empire and and and... they really got sucked into the narrative and can't! fucking get out!! And then they end up believing in the cause (in their own ways) and ah ah ah...ahhhhh..
Okay that context being given, I went and spent all 5 minutes going “I need a song. I need a song for these two. Two sources, two voices? Maybe, maybe not. Male vocalist? Raging against the authority is punk, but I love mash-ups and pitting parallels and contrasts of with multiple musical sources. Wait, I already had a DJ artist who made this other mash-up I loved am going to use for a vid…surely he has something that could be… interesting or great for Cassian Andor and John Silver. Surely??”
Friends. Friends. Even those of you who don't know or care about vidding, this is just a sort of beautiful mini-nirvana moment when you discover the perfect song (especially so quickly).
BEHOLD. My Cassian Andor and John Silver vidsong that I may or may not make but you hear it first:
youtube
I can see the whole vid unfolding before my eyes. Frantically trying to download Black Sails and searching my 3 hard drives to make sure I had in fact nabbed Andor earlier for a different vid idea. Yet…I have so many other vid things in my queue and only so much hard drive space and brainRAM.
Currently watching:
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. I want to like it more than I do. I like elements of the characters, (La’An and Chapel are extremely compelling, Ethan Peck is bringing a great human cheekiness to his portrayal of Spock, Pike remains a great Space Dad) but there’s still something that’s not gelling fully with me. Which is sad because I am so on board with the more episodic angle again and some of the classic themes and motifs from TOS but it’s just…idk, I think I need a whole post to think aloud on it.
Currently reading:
Ahsoka by EK Johnston, Baptism of Fire by Andrzej Sapkowski. Almost done with Spin State by Chris Moriarty.
Currently obsessed with: Oh, I’m burbling with obsession…
In my reading I’m still losing my mind over how much I love Baptism of Fire. Milva sucker punching a peasant. Regis’ entrance to the narrative. ZOLTAN, sloppy drunk. Geralt dreaming of Ciri…Ciri dreaming of Geralt. 😭
Ahsoka learning how to pretend to be a Normal Twice-Orphaned Teenager. How do people interact outside wartime situations and executing battle strategy?? Honey… (I need to go look for some post-O66 Ahoska fic novels…)
ALSO!!! @dragneto has also infected me witcher fic idea that’s got me foaming at the mouth. I want to tackle the idea but I’m also dying to finish my WIP chapter first before I can play. I’m so obsessed with this ridiculously horny and sad idea.
I also have 4 vid ideas I’m chewing on like a rabid gremlin and it is definitely to the point of obsession. Mad that I won’t be able to follow through in the short or medium term…too much on the brain, lack of focus, stress from life stuff, other WIPs eating away at me.
Two Witcher ones vid ideas: my Phil vid…she’s so bad, I love her. Sexy song, lots of bad. And I am revisiting an old pan-canon humor/thirst/thematic vid about Geralt… Which is more about how the characters see him.
Then I got my Star Wars Rebels idea which I’m having technical problems that’s keeping me from starting.
…And then this Andor/Black Sails thing…
tagging @deerna and @danegen and @shetiger and @simuran and @whatkindofnameisvolta ...and anyone else who wants to go.

I sent my tutors an in depth word document of each frame, scene by scene, specifically explaining a video analysis of my final submission through blackboard by resubmitting my final video assignment.
I hope this helps boost up my score for Research and Delivery as I felt the need to explain every aspect of my video due to Hyper Sensitivity that my message may not be translated across
I also managed to avoid time writing an engaging media essay due tomorrow

The founders of Delight, Mackenzie and Mackenzie were given the opportunity to share the story of Delight with Turning Points TV in a mini-documentary. It recaps their journey with Delight from where it started to how they want it to grow in the future. Take a look, God is doing amazing things through these women.

No matter what mood I am in, when this song starts playing, I instantly feel like a badass and have my own version of swagger. It's pretty comical.
In all seriousness though, the video is phenomenal.

I love the various overlays and shape effects used in this video, especially when they’re timed with the music. I want to try to use a similar style in an amv one of these days.

Just some screenshots I took processing a few elements of my video, in an archival matter
The top photo - editing the background out of my video by importing my footage into photoshop and removing the background with magic wand, I had to do this frame by frame in order to keep the removed background consistent throughout the clip
Samurai jack photo- screenshots I took from Samurai Jack comic strips that are replaced as the background I originally removed in photoshop, he was quite an inspirational cartoon figure to me growing up and I felt like it gave another element to the theme “Datarai” (datamosh + samurai)
Youtube mp3- website I used to convert my music used in the clip from youtube into an mp3 file
Logic FIles 1 & 2- I then decided to edit the music in my application called Logic Pro X which specialises in making music and editing audio, I chose the song Dark Skies by Nero and edited a fragment of the song that spoke to me most, I decided to loop that section to play four times in total throughout my video. The second image shows the volume rendering that took place so that the loop flowed into itself and didn’t come across sounding jaggered or out of sync with itself.
Files- an archival screenshot of a few of the folders I used in organising my footage, the folder glitch work expanded into four files: Original videos, Rendered Videos, edited videos, video laydown that made up the foundations and process of formulating my video, piecing together clip by clip, edit by edit.
And lastly a screenshot of the subject in the video, which is myself - personally I like to be the subject of my work and demand myself to meet and challenge the expectations I set for myself as editor of my video but also as the subject within the video.

So I have submitted in my soft copy, a few notes to add, I feel like my datamoshing is stronger in some places than others, and from here to Friday’s workshop I can experiment with the sequences but also how many key frames are involved that will hopefully emphasise the glitching and moshing within this clip
To be honest I am glad the contacts didn’t work out and I had to go through an eye infection to realise this was the route I had to go down (that’s another story)
Musically this will NOT be the audio I include in my final submission as I think it is infact commercial so my goal also from here to Friday is to settle on a song that I can use as a backing that is both edgy and not classified as a commercial song, I also understand that the song cuts out in this clip, yes I intentionally did that...I focused more on the instrumental of this song as I enjoy the ‘sliding’ sounds it has and the way the snare accentuates the song...I do like Nero..alot
In terms of background; I used Glitch Mob videos that specialise in algorithms and by using photoshop edited comic strips of Samurai Jack- it was a show I grew up watching as a child and I really admired him in terms of a cartoon figure, I also thought it fitted the Samurai theme I had set for myself (hence the dress having a Kill Bill kind of vibe)
There is always room for improvement and that is what i have set myself out to do, aswell as add 20seconds of more footage I have from my time in the cave
I can’t wait to submit the final copy, baby steps
Apparently my clip won’t be shown in a few countries according to youtube...

Last night in photoshop I got rid of all the white background in a few of my clips and have decided to replace them with comic illustrations of samurai jack as he was quite an influential cartoon I watched as a child but also how it stuck to the samurai theme
I imported the video into photoshop and removed the white background frame by frame with the magic wand, I began removing the background with lasso but that took too long and shots were looking uneven, the magic wand was more consistent and allowed a quicker process
It was time consuming but so worth it <3

still shot from my soon to be glitch video
I’m inspired by monochrome glitching and a sort of aesthetic Kill Bill meets Samurai Jack vibe
Looking through still shots and videos from my session in the cave and I hope to start glitching soon <3
