My Anime Music Videos

katakoon — Mon, 18 Jul 2005 02:32:35 +0000

I felt like putting up some of my anime music videos I made awhile back… so here you go…

My Cowboy Bebop, From Autumn to Ashes music video.

and

My Evangelion music video(The Song is by Taking Back Sunday, I believe)
I recommend resizing this music video, it’s REALLY small if you don’t..

My Samurai X AMV, with music from ‘Thursday’.

My second Evangelion AMV, and one of my best. With the song ‘Life Less Frightening’ by Rise Against.

Sorry about the quality, I had to compress them to be able to host them, they’re originally like 70 MB…

If you like these, I’ll be putting more up later.

Ok…the company that produces the LEGO toys should go into the construction business. They would have Legos that would be maybe 3 feet long and 2 feet wide, and maybe about 1 foot tall… they’d be made out of something that doesn’t weather very much… maybe some kind of cheap plastic. The most important thing is that it has to be safe to build with, and will last long, but you don’t want to spend too much. Anyways, each block would be atleast 40 bucks each, and someone could buy them and create there house. There’d be different kinds of blocks, too, but the main ones would be the 3x2x1 ones. Anyways, it was just an idea…

Fanfiction

katakoon — Tue, 12 Jul 2005 03:03:48 +0000

Fan fiction (also spelled fanfiction and commonly abbreviated to fanfic) is fiction written by people who enjoy a film, novel, television show or other media work, using the characters and situations developed in it and developing new plots in which to use these characters. - Wikipedia

I’ve always liked fan fictions, but I’ve never felt the drive to make one. Of course, back when I was 12 I always wrote Dragonball Z fan fictions, but what preteen Toonami watcher with a broad knowledge(for their age) of the internet didn’t? I’ve finally made up my mind, and I’m starting on a FLCL fan fiction. It will be a very different mood from the anime… not as hyperactive, because that’s not truly how the series ended. It will be hosted at Fanfiction.net, and then it will probably be flamed by anime fanboys who masturbate to Evangelion. But I think I’ll take my chance.

Tech TV: Resurrected?

katakoon — Tue, 12 Jul 2005 02:28:25 +0000

Is Tech TV being ressurected? It surely seems so. With Leo Laporte starting up the ‘This Week In Tech‘ Podcast, Kevin Rose’s and Dan Huard’s ‘the broken‘ and ‘systm‘, Yoshi DeHerrera’s ‘From The Shadows‘, ‘Diggnation’, and ‘Command-N’ it just seems like this is the resurgence of Tech TV, but on the internet. These shows take advantage of BitTorrent and other programs like IPodderX to get their content around. These guys(and girls) seem to be quite content with keeping their stuff on the web, and that’s a great first step for the future of quality internet multimedia.

Mmmm… webcam goodness.

I originally got my Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 webcam from my sister to make claymations. For like, a month I was claymation crazy. But one thing I am proud about with my ‘craze’ is The Zombie Movie. I made it with a few friends. Anyways… recently I’ve found a new use for my webcam. Lightsaber movies. On Digg.com I found a link to LS Maker. It looked promising. So I made and a quick little demo. After that demo, a member(IEM) on Global Nintendo Forums mentioned making a longer, plot-based video. So I made an about 20 second clip that me and my girlfriend taped with the Pro 4000. I then talked to my good friend, Pikapig, about hosting the video on his site, Lukerpig.com. He agreed. So now I had a host. The ‘Don’t Touch My Saber’ Video.
