Alot of stuffs happened this week. I've been down St. Anne's Wells Park most days, killing my self, and nearly killing others around me. In the process I managed to get 2 of the biggest blisters I've ever had, one on each end of my foot, so I can't put shoes on. On top of that, I randomly got into another Band. I'm yet to practice with the full band yet, but the Bassist and Singer helped me out with my Music Video Project, along with my friend Kai.
On the subject of Music Video, I got the main meat of it filmed. Which is hilarious. It doesn't sound nearly as good as it did while we we're practicing, and Kai, Jamie(Bassist) and me are just looking down at our instruments and bobbing up and down, while Lawrence(the singer) is going crazy right at the front. It starts off with us Playing the intro to the song, and Lawrence isn't there, then it gets into the first verse, and he randomly pops up from underneath the camera, and starts going crazy. Lulz are plenty. I'm tempted to Super impose the Cookie Monster popping out of his bin over the top of him.

I'mma Post Some Blog
Well, I haven't updated in over a month, main reason, I forgot. 'Nuff said.
Alot has happened. I've finished two modual's at college, Flash animation, and Concept Art. I'm really happy with the Concept artwork I did. If you compare it to the work I was doing at the beginning of the modual, I've improved by leaps and bounds. I did most of the work in a very Manga looking style. I really like the whole Animé/Manga artwork style, and wanted to base my game style around it.
Anyway, enough work. I've started a "band". My friend Kai, Whyte, and Myself. I say band, but we're more of a group. When I think band, I think of a rock band, or a boy band, or a metal band. But I don't really want to limit us to a style. Basically, if we sit there and think, let's make a House track, then we're gonna make a house track. If we wanna make a rock song, we'll make a rock song. We listen to a wide range of music, so we have alot of influences. Recently, me and Kai were listening to Daft Punk's Alive 2007, and heard a part which is very brief, and isn't heard in any other song they've done that we're aware of, however, we want to hear more of it, so we sampled it, and got a drum beat, and played around with chopping the beats up, automating effects, and generally making it our own. After a day's work, we came out with this:
I really like it. It only uses two samples. The said Daft Punk sample which is the main meat of the piece, and the drum beat, which is from Don't Bring Me Down, by ELO. The drum beat was cut up quite alot from it's original 2 second loop, and I think we did a good job of it. I'm buying a load of recording and mixing gear at the end of march, and hopefully a huge P.A system at the end of May.
