10 days of RECording fun.
"Everything is on fire" video, troisième!
I combined Dr. Gory video with wirrow's "coulouring fire" + some other RECords I saved for that project. Of course it's still not finished so please join in.
Just because I love this song so much.
Dance party in the MicroCinema. 50 sec!!! Youhou!
Inspired by allegraoxborough's little voice on "Walls" and her "Run, bride!" video. Also by Major Thom as Pluto "ascending the snow hill".
Old RECord again. Inspired by Ryan Cohen's "Wintersleep". And by Lula's dreamy-full videos. And by Tori's "She was never going to be his to lead", one of my old fav'
I used other RECords too but lost the track of it. Promise to complete the REsources as soon as I get a link to v3. If you see one of your RECord, please tell me.
Re-RECommendations albums is a good way to dig up RECords we like. An other way is to remix them. I wanted to do something with TaraMarie's "Life is But a Dream Dance" for a long time. I thought it would go perfectly with Metaphorest poem "twin" by wirrow. Hope it does TaraMarie's work justice and she'll get some extra hearts :-)
dAN as Neptune. I will always remember him that way. As a god from another world, throwing fire at the sun, juggling with stars.
"Sometimes I think you come from another world and you miss it so so much"
Toss wrote those words as a REmark for wirrow and I RECorded it. I think they fit perfectly.
I love this song soooo much… could not help it. All the images are from the gorgeous "EMPIRE" by Lawrie Brewster (see REsources). I highly REcommend it.
I see you in everything everyday.
I love "The lovers" by tommacarte. Could not resist to that beautiful remix made by Johnny 4 The City.
An other version of Ryan Patrick's beautiful tiny story, "I will not misbehave" + wirrow's "It's a wonderful life". Couldn't help it. Love it too much.
Burningdan spun the fire. Ronen hold the cam. Madrond101 spoke the words. Pistols blew the notes. Albert put the drums… and I hit the little red circle.
Ronen, Pistols, couldn't find your RECords. Give me a sign and I'll resource it.
ashleewithani asked me to repost this from V3. Inspired by her poem "The Forgotten Doll". I'm not sure I will be able to get all the resources right so please let me know if I used something that's yours.
A few months ago Zounds RECorded this audio file in response to Wirrow's A New Earth. Ever since I heard it, I've wanted to make a video to go with it. Not totally happy with it though. If anyone has better ideas… welcome! This is work in progress.
For those who weren’t there. And those who were.
A RECord to celebrate and to remember.
Shirt story. I wish I could add the part when Joe gives our very first hR t-shirt to Jimmy Fallon.
If I had to explain hitRECord to someone I would play that RECord. Of course, this is my interpretation so feel free to add or cut things out.
I have to say Matt Conley's "New RECorders" has been a great source of inspiration so a big warm merci to you Matt. You're a muse to me ;-)
Why I hit RECord.
Mon nom est Johanna (My name is Johanna)
But on hitRECord I'm Gimik Jo
Gimik used to be the name of the magazine I was in charge here in Belgium
I hit RECord - well - since July
Même si j'ai l'impression d'avoir toujours connu cet endroit (even though I feel like I've always known this place)
Why did I get involved in hitRECord?
Because of this guy
(Joe's voice)
J'ai enregistré ma première participation pour la Love collab
(I RECorded my first participation for the Love Collab)
Et je n'ai plus jamais cessé depuis (and I never stopped since)
I'm addicted
I hit RECord on daily basis
Tous les jours (everyday)
Je regarde (I watch)
Je m'émerveille (I marvel at things)
J'actionne mon petit coeur (I hit the heart)
Pour moi la créativité c'est regarder les choses, non pas pour ce qu'elles sont, mais pour ce qu'elles pourraient être
(For me creativity is watching things not for what they are but for what they can be)
Everything is possible
Je vois des choses (I see things)
Elles m'inspirent (They inspire me)
Je les rassemble (I gather them)
Je les transforme (I change them)
Je les mets en scène
Je ne vois pas comme quelqu'un de particulièrement créatif
(I don't see myself as someone particularly creative)
Je ne crée pas à proprement parlé
(I don't create strictly speaking)
Je ne dessine pas (I don't draw)
Je chante un peu (I sing a little)
J'écris aussi (I also write)
J'enregistre (I RECord)
My editing skills are crap
But I hit RECord
Parce qu'ici je n'ai pas peur (because here I'm not scared)
I feel safe
Peur d'être rejetée, critiquée (scared to be rejected, critized)
Souvent l'art est égoïste (Art can often be selfish)
But not on hitRECord
Ici, l'art est un effort collectif (here art is a collectif effort)
We are a community
On crée (we create)
On partage (we share)
On s'inspire (we inspire each other)
On remix (we remix)
On recrée (we recreate)
Tous ensemble (all together)
Mon apport à hitRECord/Ma contribution ?
(my contribution to hitRECord ?)
Mes yeux (my eyes)
Mon cerveau (my brain)
Mon âme (my soul)
Ma voix (my voice)
Mon coeur (my heart)
Again by heart
Remember 11/11
Remember when Joe told us about Sundance
Remember the Regularity is near, here, there…
Still reloading my old RECords. Thought this one would be totally appropriate as tomorrow is THE day.
Too easy. I took a snipet of TanjaTHEAwesome New Deal REC, add my voice. Maybe it needs some music. Maybe not.
For the Documentary (ok it's more than 50 sec.)
Here it is, Joe. I made it shorter. 37 sec. Couldn't get below. Hope it'll fit.
A quick piece about that banksy collab for the SunDance Documentary.
Recorded in Thailand last november.
For NEBULULLABY & Catsolen's little things Collabs
Pete's challenge again mixed with catsolen's idea of little things. I RECorded this in Thailand last november. Every lantern, every light in the sky is a wish… a whole galaxy of wishes.
I will RECord one version with no music to make it easier to remix.
Here's the 1st part of my documentary shot January 29, 2010; the last Friday of the Sundance 2010 Film Festival in Park City, UT.
The intensity of completing 8 Programs & numerous 'Bumpers' DURING the Festival brought out the best aspects of Co-operation and Collaboration; fundamental precepts of the whole HitRECord.org Team.
Recorded during the final 2 hours before the Premiere Showing at the MicroCinema Theatre in the New Frontiers Venue, UNDER 2 HOURS reveals the love, intensity and magic necessary to accomplish this unprecedented task.
Thanks to everyone involved in this project at Sundance, whether you were there in person or involved via the Internet.
If I missed anybody to be included in Resources, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
Love you all.

So as promised… this is the Love Collab resuscitated. This one is very special to me 'cause it was my very first collaboration to hitRECord.
I tried to dig as many RECords as possible but it was hard because all the V3 RECords did not make it to V4… Also I kept a sample of that "500 Days of Summer" dialogue. Hope it will not be a problem. If so I will cut it off.
Dusting those old RECords from V3 Love Collab to remix it, refine it, make it presentable for SUNDANCE… Who wants to play with me?
Ok, it's still a bit rough around the edges but I thought I should put it out there for you to give a try… Maybe it needs more REsources, maybe some graphic effects… maybe we could add subtitles to it. Or maybe we should keep it simple. Anyway. Let the challenge goes on…
(I will upload a version without music tomorrow)
I refined my first RECord, adding some more REsources.
"O Tiger-lily," said Alice... "I wish you could talk!"
"We can talk," said the Tiger-lily: "when there's anybody worth talking to."
I loved RichieMillenium's idea of remixing "And a new earth" and "Everything is on fire" videos. I tried to make the transition shorter and smooth.
Oh what a beautiful flame he made.
Sorry I'm not an animator.
Nothing fancy. Just a looooooooooooong thankful RECord.
My city is old.
European.
Not London.
Not Paris.
Not that big.
Her walls are talking.
My city is full of stories.
(Some footages are older than others. Sorry for the not-so-good quality.)
A new version for dan. Hope it'll fit.
Second one. Wish I had the view from Joe's cam.
First attempt for those SXSW one minute short intersticials + bumper.
The bumper version of the Desk Drum Invitation.
Filmed on a beach in Thailand last november.
Ok it's a bit shaky. But there was lots of wind.
Remix of the SXSW invitation. Maybe it's not enough WamBam. But I'm not that WamBam anyway.
What's inside a red circle womb. Or the birth of a RECord.
Where all creativity starts…
An other kind of bumper.
(*) In french, "Le fil rouge" ("The red wire") means a repetitive idea, something that guides you along.
Because I want to see Joe dancing on stage.
I cut together Joe's intro + filmpunk's raw footage from the SITC Live show. I tried to make the transition as smooth as possible for your remixing pleasure.
RECords are a way to remember. hitRECord At The Movies - Vista Theater 4.23.11
"You go first" said the left foot to the right.
"After you" answered politely the other.
But soon they realised their story was going nowhere.

to heart all the amazing stuff everyone's been making,
especially the family band. and i love all the
"when we were kids" photos everyone's been sharing.

I used Gimik Jo's wonderful "still" for the titular theme. I hope you enjoy. :)
