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."

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

Righto! Here we have Version 1 of my visual cut, Nathan's doing some awesome music and I will be keeping further improvements to the visuals in this edit (in perfect time) for the new soundtrack being produced.

Note - Please note this is not my complete visual cut, there are embellishments to be added, extra footage from contributors, example Sirius Dan, Jolynne, and others etc.

So while I can't guarantee to include everything in my edit, there is still more to be added. Particularly i want to add more improvement to creature animations, add more extra,s to fancier visual titles for the opening credits and so on!

Note - there are no sound fx etc yet in this version :)

As an example of the difference between my prior versions with Morgan 1 check out these,

This is VERSION 2 of my REmix of Channing's "Reluctant Her" video. This one features more abstract visual layers than the first version and I tightened up the piece a bit. It's still a work in progress however...

I'm still looking for some extra clips for future versions. Color movement and bright light montages, as well as nature shots that fit the footage I've already used.

Let me know what you guys think of it so far. Thanks!

This is the version of Morgan M. Morganson's Date with Destiny that screened at Sundance 2010. Throughout the festival, this is the one we'd show as our example. Whenever anybody asked, "what is hitRECord?" this was my answer: "Here, watch this short film we're making; you'll never believe who did it and how!"

Albert proposed an off-kilter writing exercise, and then Metaphorest's beautifully strange short story inspired it all. I read the story aloud, Jenyffer.Maria started drawing the characters, Tori animated Jen's drawings, Lula and I did a live-action rendition, Lawrie Brewster took the project to soaring heights with his gorgeous visuals, and along the way there was the help, encouragement and roughly 180 contributions from throughout our community. We brought it to Sundance, and Nathan coaxed the lush and vast music out of the newly coined hitRECorchestra. (Good_Girl_Indie has written out a fabulously detailed timeline documenting what happened and when along this RECord's progression.)

Not only did we close our (two) official hitRECord screening(s) in the New Frontier Microcinema with this piece, but the next day, Sundance added it as a short film to play before the award-winning feature HOMEWRECKER on a much bigger screen.

I actually watched the thing again just now. And I can whole-heartedly say that, besides the progressive methodology with which it was made, and besides the warm reception it received at Sundance, just purely as a little piece of art, as a short film, as a RECord -- I'm as proud of Morgan M. Morgansen's Date with Destiny as I am of any work I've ever done.

Thank you, everyone, for making it all happen!
and thanks again...

[PS] [updating soon with higher-res file, proper aspect ratio (!) and there's still more resources left to cite, etc, etc, etc...]

It's been a long time, but I found it. :)

Had a moment in the RECroom....
