so i saw metaphor has released a new song today. heres my response. it only took me... 5 hours... lots of databending--not nearly successful as i wanted to be... but it highlights a few common ideas.

lots of thanks for the hitRECord community for uploading videos for me to play around with. i apologize in advance if your record wasn't highlighted to be sited as i only downloaded from sources i could find.

As I read RegularJOE's note on the shadow castes started to wonder what a meeting between the top and the bottom of these castes would look like. I thought an eclipse would not only provide the occasion for such a meeeting but could also look pretty cool. So here are the sun, the moon and their shadow children about to stir up the societal structure of Umbra. :)

Filmed on location at Glasgow Necropolis

Special thanks to marcelle for her awesome footage

And extra special thank you to my mate Colin, and Cam_4 for helping film.

Ever since I released it back in August, 'I Am' has always been one of my favourite RECords.  But I've been thinking for a while about remixing it; incorporating more voices, using different footage...

Special thanks to Stevie, who recorded not only a voice over for this, but also signed it in ASL;

And of course, my un-ending thanks to themetafictionist and pamagotchi for recording their voice overs back in August.  

Extra extra special thanks to Malicore, who knows more than me about 'gains' and other technical sound-related things, who 'touched up' the voice overs for me ^_^

For missamerica's creation motivation collaboration.

mov, no audio

To their astonishment,

their forbidden love

bore the most beautiful results.
