I liked the idea of Matt's collaboration where we choose what we feel best shows us as artists, and so, here is my quick pick of what I feel best sums up what I do.
After looking on HitRECord today for something to REmix (something i've not done in a LONG time and which i feel I need to do more of again, and which Gwen inspired me to do again after a little chat with her) I came across the REmix 'cbis22' did of 'Above The Clouds', a RECord by 'The Rising 7', and i fell in love with it and knew it was the perfect RECord to work on a music video for. The REmix and original RECord are both fantastic!
This footage i've mixed with the RECord is footage filmed maybe 2 years ago now (and as a warning, it is a LARGE file, just to let you know), but i filmed it back while I was at university with a friend of mine, and it has never seen the light of day except for in a dusty lecture hall. And I thought it would fit well. So i gathered together old footage, with new music RECorded, and edited them both together into this.
All lighting effects were done in camera, infact, everything is how it was, apart from the editing.
So here's my experimental video REmix of a REmix of a RECord. I hope you like it <3
I was looking through the millions of Tiny Stories and came across 'I am free...' by 'ransomofroses'. I really love the simplicity and honesty of the story, so put my digital hand to digital paper and made this drawing to go with it.
I changed the story slightly, so I hope you don't too much ransomofroses ^______^

I figured I'd go back through some of my stuff which I have done in the past and try and upload them (rather than have them sitting around on my computer in a dead state). This is a short script I ...

I feel like i'm getting back into the swing of this whole HitRECord thing again and I just want to quickly say thank you to everyone for hitting the hearts. It means the world!
I went looking for a little story and found The Lonely Tree by m3lyssa, which I instantly fell in love with. It's just up my street.
So this is my RECord. I wanted to use colour to express the passing of time rather than showing it literally, hence the hint that there may have been a happy scene at some point, but that the rot has set in and life has taken that colour.

I wanted to do a REmix RECord again, with another new little drawing I did (the boy), so went in search for some RECords that would be able to create some sort of story.
Maybe someone could write a little story about this? I don't know. Anyway...
The first thing I saw (being on the feautured page) was the amazing Treehouse drawing by twistedbutterfly, which made me think the boy needed to find an old friend who he's had to part ways with, which is when I stumbled on the very wonderful but glum looking fox drawing by Jazminny. Which seemed to fit.
This is the result.

This is my niece.
She is called Sophie, and she is just over 2 and a half years old.
She is a very big girl now.
She likes long walks, riding her bike and having adventures out in the garden.
She doesn’t like dirt or anything muddy. But I’m working on this.
She likes drawing and painting. She makes the most lovely pictures.
She talks too fast without thinking, and gets muddled up ever so often.
I love her far too much.
She inspires me.
These are little moving photographs from some days I spent with her.
There's Christmas, her meeting her new baby cousin, and lots of being lazy, which is what she does best.
Apart from looking cute. She's very good at doing that.
