Here, a New Post

I have no idea what to blog about now, but maybe if I keep typing, I will find something.  Oh, I found something!  If you've read my last blog (hopefully), I mentioned something about songs from ocremix.org.  I have about 10 songs from that website; actually, I have 9 songs from the website and one that was taken down called an OCRemoved.  Anyway, the reason I'm talking about this again is because some of the animations that I could do would be a bit serious, dark even.  I want each of these to tell my interpretation of each song, and some of the things that I pick up from them can be a bit depressing.  So if I decide to continue this, I may upload these to YouTube and there will be a trigger warning of whatever the animation contains in the description.  I don't like creating sad stories or tragedies and will find some way to brighten these up. Jeez, writing this made me feel down.  So, Poyo Poyo! (See you later!)

My Ideas

I listen to music all the time.  However, most of the songs on my phone have no words.  They are instrumentals...from video games...and anime...(tries to sneak away).  But besides that, I believe I can use them for animations.  The first idea I had was to create an animation for a remix that was 3 minutes long.  I will put the link to the song and the original so you can hear them, if you want, I guess.  Don't judge me, please.  It's called 'Midnight Party' and is a remix to a song in 'Kirby Block Ball', a game for the Gameboy that is also available on Virtual Console on the Nintendo 3DS.  I've played it before, but did not get to beat it because I lost the DS I had the game on.  This is one of my favorite songs in the game, but the original is in 8-bit, so you might get annoyed by it.  I would love to do this specific project someday, but not for the purposes of 20 Time.
Another idea I had was to make animations based off of songs I found on ocremix.org.  It is a website where remixers make remixes of video game music and it is judged.  They are really good and I will put a link to one called 'Crystal Potion'.  It's a remix of Gemini Man's stage in Megaman 3, a game for the NES.  If you have no idea what I am talking about, you can always use Wikipedia.  All links will lead to YouTube so you can listen to them and I hope you enjoy them both.  I have many more ideas, but I don't want to make you sit here and read all day because I'm pretty sure (I hope) that you have a life outside reading this blog.  Because no one else reads it.  Except me.  I will go and...I'll just go.  Poyo Poyo! (See you later!)

We're Off to a Great Start

I...still do not have an animation software on my computer.  But at least I have a computer!  I just need to figure out which one to download.  It's between Adobe Flash and Photoshop.  Then I need to figure out how to use the program, and actually get started.  Okay...I've run out of things to say, so I will talk about something else.  Some really good animations that I've seen are asdf movie by TomSka (he is a really funny Youtuber if you like random stuff, check out his channel!), and some on a program called MMD, which stands for MikuMikuDance.  For those that have no idea what the heck I am talking about, this is based off of an artificial singing program (please correct me if I'm wrong) called Vocaloids.  The main one, from my understanding, is Hatsune Miku.  I will post a picture of them so you can see what they look like.  From left to right, they are Meiko, Kagamine Len, Kagamine Rin, Hatsune Miku, and Kaito.  I'm not too familiar with the one on the far left, sorry.  I will update if I can find out his name (yes, that is a guy).  They all look like anime characters and the songs I've heard them sing are in Japanese.  Their names are backwards, and what I mean by that it is written last name, first name, so for example Miku's first name is Miku, not Hatsune.  I may dabble with that if I feel like it, but I probably won't.  No, I won't mess with that.  At least not yet.  Anyway, mirrorkirby64, signing out. Poyo Poyo! (See you later!)

Change of Plans

Okay, after a little more consideration, I've decided to revise the project a bit.  Maybe I could do a shorter video, about 30 seconds at the least.  I knew that animation would not be easy, but I REALLY underestimated how hard it actually is.  It will most likely be a random video about either an anime that I've watched or video games, and yes, you will probably question my sanity after you watch it.  Depends on the video.  I just realized the spoiler that I've put in here, darn it.  At least it's vague.  Also, my last blog was posted exactly one month ago today.  Happy one month anniversary? There are still a few things that I have to obtain, but I hope that this will turn out well.  Oh yeah, I should start start signing out, so I'll do it like this.  Poyo poyo! (See you later!)
