Let's have another crack at that experimental video lark then...
he is not worthy
CC originally recited this one a couple of years ago, but I just rediscovered it while browsing through her "Madeline Bassett" YouTube channel, in search of a good subject for a new CC:PP remix and an opportunity to give Serif MoviePlus a good working over. I figured it cried out for a minimalistic oriental treatment (don't ask me why, it just did, okay?). I found the inspiring background image on one of those Hi-Def Wallpaper sites they have now. Soundtrack-wise, I sprinkled some fairydust on it with some virtual Mellotron flutes and plinky-plonky things (to use a technical term), plus a big fat G-major drone 'played' on one of my favourite VST synths.
twenty questions
Day Two; I thought I'd push the envelope on MoviePlus's Pan & Zoom feature and see what can be achieved if you overdo it! Again, I've used one of CC's videoblogs as my raw material, going completely mad with the sepia-ed out 'scratchy old film' effects and slotting in a few library stills that relate to the title in a rather obvious way. The video came out a wee bit pixilated due to the process of 'zooming in' on the original footage... and I got the aspect ratio completely wrong (everything has been squashed into a 16:9 format)! But I did say that this was just an experiment, didn't I? I kept the 'musical' content simple and unobtrusive(?), finally finding a use for a crazy bit of drum programming that I'd had lying around for a while - a mad rhythmic idea that alternates between 7:8 and 9:8, with a few other offbeats thrown in for good measure (ha!), thus extending the numerical theme further...
Ah well, that's enough play for now... "proper" work is tapping its metaphorical wrist at me...
