Reading of RegularJoe's REmix of OrigamiArtichoke's tiny story.

And piggybacking on OrigamiArtichoke's thoughts, I think some stop motion animation here would be awesome! Especially if it were simple line art - I don't even think you would need to actually just draw out the expressions, just let the gravity of the words carry itself. ;)

A dramatic reading. I felt the need to express the release of the two finally being together forever....

..until the owner changes the battery, that is.

(Sorry for the craptastic quality, it's a laptop microphone. :/)

Just playing around with the idea that life can sometimes appear to be grayscale, while dreams are in color.

I don't recall what film I was using (it took me forever to go digital!), hole in the brick wall in my room where I kept an alarm clock.

I took this in Eilat, Israel. So beautiful It almost looks fake

So I just kind of took an organic approach to this...and really, the version 1.0 had 2 different songs in it. There was the slower, darker one, and the happy jam. So for some reason I took the chill side. Again, I still only used samples from those RECords, just fewer resources this time. I liked this idea of the need for our voices to be heard...there were 2 spoken word submissions about it. So I wanted to play with that idea, because I feel that's a huge reason why alot of us are on this site...because we have a voice that we want to be heard. :)

I can still play around with the other parts, or try something completely different. So let me know what you guys are thinking/feeling.

Here's more revisions. I adjusted a few more levels and tried to tighten some of the transitions. And a special thanks to @NehaSka for going through this painstaking trial-and-error I keep putting her vocals through. :)

Just a mesh of videos for the Live Acts collab put to Haus_of_Glitch's megamix :)

I actually wanted to link you to the collab which has videos of us all dancing but it won't let me add a collab to another collab, so you can get to those records through here:

Hope this is useful x


As promised.. silent riot of me dancing
Come on guys, let's see your videos! xxxxx

~ I can't find the exit in this dream ~

I set up my camera on the tram on the way to my gate at SFO Airport to do a quick time lapse. Came out pretty neato

a remix

it was really windy a couple of days ago, and i noticed how the birds were having trouble staying in the air. i tried to film it, but a)im crap, b)my little digital camera, while not crap, is ancient. and has dust spots. soo, this isnt great, but could be useful?

This is just a little collage I made, inspired by a song that my friend wrote.

I’m BACK ! I’m definitely back on hitrecord. I was really missing hitRECord, the daily discovery of great records, the contact with talented people… I didn’t even know the recent good news (and screenings)! Wow Amazing! Cool! But I won’t complaint because I didn’t have time to get bored either during the last few months!

I fell in love with the music of Jeremy (aka Haus_of_Glitch) and I decided to take the plunge again by making a video for this music. I worked on the version 1.0. (I can’t explain it, but I have a little preference for this version…), that’s why I entitled this record Live Acts Megamix Video 1.0. It’s a perfectible record, I think it will be good to add a lot of more stuff, even if I used some records which used themselves a lot of records… anyway, I didn’t have too much time to do it…

It’s been while that I wanted to make something about dancing, just dancing no story. I took the opportunity to not understand all the lyrics of this song to do it. I worked on the synchronization of the shots with the beat of the music, but at the same time, I tried sometimes to “respect” the lyrics, or at least few words… Well, let’s just say that I made this video with instinct…

What do you think? Don’t spare me!

P.S.: The upload of the record is very long, so if you don’t see any resources when you watch the video, there is a simple excuse to this: I’m sleeping (too tired to patient more, sorry mates)! Of course, I’ll add the resources tomorrow (when you will be sleeping basically…)

UPDATE: GOOOOOOD MORNING WORLD FELLOWS! It's done, I hope I didn't forget any resources, if it's the case, my apologies! Tell me and I'll fix it quickly :)

P.S.: I’ll upload a zip file of a high resolution video of this just after (when I’ll wake up, remember?)
That’s why the quality of this video is not really good… and I’m discovering Premiere Pro CS4 at the same time…

UPDATE : I'm doing it right now :)

A little girl was playing for the longest time on the Alice statue in Central Park... she had to be imaging some great story... when she was leaving, she even said goodbye to the statue.

She had taken off her shoes and I thought this looked pretty cool.

new hitRECord.org version 4 coming in "about a week". ~~ Morgan M. Morgansen ~~ Sundance

Firstly, I can't remember which RECord I resourced at 4:54 for that "SUNDANCE 2010" on the computer screen. I apologize, can someone remind me?

Yes, it's going to be about a week, and then hitRECord.org v4, the new website, will be launched and liv!! Ahh, we've been working on this for such a long time, I can't wait for you guys to see it. It's gonna make our collaborative creative process so much more effective and fun.

Morgan M. Morgansen, the collaboration continues. Lots of great contributions. Discussing color schemes. Drawings, videos, dancing, birds, photos. Still lots to be done, what do you want to throw in?

Obviously, there's lots of collaborations revolving around our upcoming stint at SUNDANCE. But I hereby want to start one to make a 5-10 minute video about Sundance itself. Most of this video will probably be RECorded during Sundance. But we might as well start now. There's lots of Sundance stuff from last year that we can begin to remix. I'd also love to see what you guys might RECord regarding Sundance. What does it mean to you? When did you hear about it? What are some of your favorite films that have come out of Sundance? Etc...

My very-Wirrow Halloween pumpkin :)

song i RECorded, hmm, october 2006. Don't know why I've never put it up here before. there's tons of shit (songs especially) i should probably just start letting go of, releasing, that is, the RECords.

tonight I put it up because i read a poem phonontek wrote on tumblr. i don't think he's released that on hitRECord yet. well maybe perhaps he might. His poem is called "Here Again."
http://michaeleverett.tumblr.com/post/530146045/here-again

ha! now, in fact, he has Released this here poem as a RECord here. So I've cited it as a Resource, the link's down there.

Anyway, this is one I made called Sick Again. the lyrics go...


SICK AGAIN

sick again
medicine
tired liar
strong and scared
pair us up and dance despair
with lonely cares of might and may
and dream today away away
and say the sinners of their sin
i need some more medicine
i'm sick again
sick again
medicine
sick again
sick again

I am not very good at editing/making videos, but I loved the song so much, I had to try.

So here is the chill track that come from the Live Acts process. I removed the vocals from the verses. I'd love to add some spoken word to this, so if anyone comes up with somthing, LMK. I also thought with the words out of the verses, it mightwork well for a video, especially if you wanted other voiceovers in there. So feel free to use this and I'll keep working on it. :)

He may look big and scary...but Jupiter is the friendliest planet of them all.

Here's my interpretation! Love your poem Rian! MUAH! Here's a darker more sinister/romantic art style type reading! Hope you guys like!

made this to loop quite seamlessly.. for those times u want to feel like ur floating for a while :]

for amy who requested it. or anyone who wants to sing it

REMIX: ESCARGOT MOVIE CONVERTED TO RAYPEREZ MUSIC VIDEO FOR SONG "MARIJUANA"

LYRICS:

she dances gracefully inside
as we clumsily move onward
do you not feel your spirits rise?
it's the coming of a new day
and as we're catching all the vibes,
we can feel it getting closer,
and through the redness of our eyes
we can see the world as god does

I carry pen and paper with me everywhere and make a ridiculous amount of notes, lists, ideas and doodles. I even copied the list of guidelines that MattConley presented for the collaboration and very purposely ticked them off one by one. I like lists. So I thought I'd make my video about my creative process/mild neurosis.

The song is Boardsy by thesherberthead which I love and have wanted to do something with ever since I heard it.

This was recorded a few months ago. It's a bit dreamy and has an ethereal quality to it. It's all guitar layers. Use it. It's just me in my little house trying to make sense of it all.

Something I composed and I believe the title explains it all.

Hey People,
This is a tune I wrote a while back, I think some orchestration might be really pretty?? I'm leaving it open for whoever wants to contribute!

I'll start a collab soon and upload separate vocal tracks etc.
I'm stoked you all enjoy it so much but I'm really looking forward to getting some backing music and visuals up here!

xx
Neha

LYRICS:
My fatal mistake was
I wanted to be you
I wanted to breath you deeply in

I got lost in your beauty
In your eloquent body
In all of those tunes you spun me

I breathe like I'm dying
My lily is flying
And bleeding salt from her eyes
She goes where she's carried
Her anger is married
To her joy and her lies

Chorus
I'm falling into the middle of the hole
In that record you made me
I'm using the words to carve the glass walls
of this box they locked me in

My only mistake was
I wanted to feel you
Not with my hands but with my soul
You got lost in my beauty
In my eloquent body
In all of the stories that I told

Chorus

Don't look at me I might die.
My fatal mistake was, I wanted to be you, I wanted to breath you deeply.
