Ladies and gentlemen, it's official, we're gonna release a DVD/Book/CD/collection of our work so far... RECollection Volume 1. And, surprise surprise, the deadline is landing on us very very soon -- we're aiming to have everything done by JANUARY 1ST.

It won't be the first time we've gotten shit-tons of work done in no time. So let's do it.

VIDEO EDITORS -- Haus of Glitch is devising a new refined version of his 'Live Acts Megamix' which will go on the audio CD, and we are gonna cut a monster video to match his monster track. This one is all about cutting to the beat. The more ornate and intricate the beat gets the more images and cuts should be reflected visually.

SHORT FILM MAKERS -- I am loving the Tiny Stories Short Films that everyone has been making, really great job. Some are definitely going on the DVD, the more we can make the better. Keep in mind, while animation is a great approach since we already have so many illustrations, live action can work too, or anything else you wanna try.

CASUAL RECORDERS -- Of course Nebulullaby is going on the DVD. However, let's just spruce it up a little bit, shall we?
In the "Earth" section of the music video, we have many images of people going to bed and falling asleep. Let's add more!
RECord your bedtime and contribute it to this collab.

VIDEO EDITORS -- let's cut in many many more of these bedtime visuals into Nebulullaby's "Earth" section. Again, put those cutting points on the rhythm of the music.

TEXT and IMAGE CURATERS -- So part of 'RECollection Volume 1' is going to be a book. Help us curate what should be included. Create an Album of text and image RECords that you recommend, and contribute it to this collaboration. The more selective you are, the better, so limit your Albums to like 3 to 5 RECords.

VIDEO EDITORS -- Take a look at HelloLindsayyyyyy's "All 3 SiTC's in 30 Seconds" ~ http://hitrecord.org/records/273123 ~
She did such a killer job that this video is definitely going on our DVD. And I want to make similar videos for "Sundance", "SxSW," and our "College Tour 2010" to accompany it.
So let's look through all the uploaded records from these events and make a 30 second video that captures all that went on there. HelloLindsayyyyy's speedy narration approach worked great, so feel free to do that, or try anything else, as long as it's 30 seconds or less.

Well, it's the end of the year, and most likely this is my last Regularity video of 2010. What a crazy ride this year has been for me, for us, for hitRECord. Working with you guys has exceeded all of my expectations. I am so proud of what we have accomplished this year, and I can't fucking wait to do it all again in 2011.

Thanks again <3

Ruffedges took pictures of a little monster (i love monsters!) in scotland and i thought i could make the monster visit my town, so it is on a holiday in Frankfurt right now! :D
(I wish i could switch places with the monster and go to scotland though because i miss it)

I admit i left some details of the houses out because omg this took me so long to draw already, but there is a place that looks like this in my town. :)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS RUFFEDGES AND EVERYONE ELSE <3

Another animation made in class. :) This one is "Silhouette Animation" - according to our professor.
Joe's recent regularity video called for contributions to the Alice and Inception Dream Doc collabs, and since I haven't contributed to any, thought this could help. :) (ie, falling/flying/dreamy sort of thing?) It may do well as an overlay (or underlay...er) to a video. :)

PS: Thanks again, Mike Regan (I hope you don't mind me using your music all the time. It's really awesome. :D)

PPS: All my videos get that encoding error. Any of you editor types know what's going on? My videos are at the smallest possible uploading size 'cause I always have problems. :(

and so begins the long process of putting tiny stories together. my next one will be the wicked witch sugarcube. if anyone wants to contribute illustrations or animation or voiceover etc..

Nothing big
Nothing grand
Nothing useful
Nothing planned
Nothing smart, or at least not very
Nothing revolutionary
Nothing urgent
Nothing hot
Maybe quiet
Maybe not
Nothing hard
Nothing wet
Nothing naked, well not yet
Nothing witty
Nothing wise
No big deal
No first prize
Nothing solemn
Nothing set
Nothing much to give or get
Nothing now but me and you
Nothing more, thanks, that'll do

Thanks to both venns and Adrienne for the resources. I hope they don't mind me using their photos for the icon. I like to reference the source material and the instruments from their audio tracks to give a bit of information on the sounds.

venns has a much better version with his "pipa retentis" but I loved the Mongolian morin khuur samples from Adrienne so I am throwing this version back to you venns. I've merely sampled the pipa and morin khuur and added a different drum loop. I have several guitar rhythms in mind but I was curious to see what somebody could do with this before I proceed. I've deliberately left some solo drum loop sample in the middle and at the end so others could easily remix.
