I never had much of an ambition to be a filmmaker. At most, I&#8217;d maybe want to write something for TV, but the whole idea of creating something to watch from the ground up? It doesn&#8217;t fascinate me as much as getting into the minutiae of a piece of music.<br \/>\nMusic videos are a long way from a feature-length film, but <a href=\"http:\/\/vids.myspace.com\/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&amp;VideoID=38566685\">two<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/vids.myspace.com\/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&amp;VideoID=40010299\">videos<\/a> I made in the last couple of weeks have gotten me wanting to experiment with the medium further.<br \/>\nHell, I&#8217;m already thinking of making a DVD album out of <em>Original Confidence<\/em>.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve spent the last weeks experimenting with 2-D animation software, even though I haven&#8217;t drawn anything on paper since high school. And I also looked up what it takes to make greenscreen effects. I even caught myself looking up prices for camcorders. Yeah, that bad.<br \/>\nSo I&#8217;m just going to jot down some of the ideas I have for future videos, since I seem to be heading down this path already.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <strong>Untold Demons<\/strong>. This video might require construction of a greenscreen, and I do want to experiment with splitting the screen so two of me can be in a scene at one time. I also need to get an easal and a big pad of paper. That will be the main prop.\n<li> <strong>Revulsion<\/strong> <strike>For some reason, I want to make this an animated video. But I&#8217;m way too impatient to draw each individual frame. So I may bastardize the rotoscoping technique a bit.<\/strike> I didn&#8217;t do anything <a href=\"http:\/\/vids.myspace.com\/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&amp;VideoID=40011863\">quite as ambitious<\/a>, but it did require a greenscreen and some high contrast.\n<li> <strong>Go<\/strong> This video might actually require a storyline. And actors. I&#8217;m less inclined to make this one. Whatever it is, it&#8217;ll be modeled a lot after Cocco&#8217;s &quot;Yawaraka na Kizuato&quot; video.\n<li> <strong>Imprint<\/strong> I originally thought maybe this would be the animated video, but I&#8217;m thinking this one would have no lip syncing in it.\n<li> <strong>Epiphany<\/strong> The concept is simple: maneki neko (the beckoning cat) hangs out around town.<\/ul>\n<p>Now that I&#8217;ve invested in some rudimentary camera equipment, I&#8217;m thinking of shooting more footage for &quot;Speechless&quot; and re-editing it.<br \/>\nYeah, I&#8217;m not writing any new music this year for sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huh.
