Three guesses what's taken over Kia's life. First two don't count. 8D;;;

[kiaxet]

For those of you who've heard me yammer on about this on AIM and/or Twitter, I finally put up the half a video I have for Dare You to Move. I started it in 2006 and never really finished. I might eventually - for now, my brain has been taken over by the new AMV. As it is, here's the unfinished one:

It's actually an a capella cover of Switchfoot's song, which I actually like better than the original. YMMV, I guess.

Also, I'm having a problem with Movie Maker (yes, I make my AMVs in Windows Movie Maker, it's all I have, sh'up). The audio file is being read as six minutes long when it's only four and a half, and any time I click on a point in the middle of the song, it's out of sync - it's the wrong part of the song. To get things to sync up, I have to play everything from the beginning. I'm going to try reimporting the audio file; aside from that, has anyone run into this before and does anyone know how to fix it?

On a vaguely related note, I'm not surprised there are a lot of BBS AMVs out there already. What made me snicker madly was the plethora of BBS AMVs set to Linkin Park songs. I know I really shouldn't judge until I watch them; it's just the concept that amuses me.

Also, there's a random one set to Miss Murder. Uh. 'Kay then.

Just to make this entire entry about Kingdom Hearts and well-nigh pointless to anyone not in the fandom, I'm finishing it off with the 30 day meme, including the day I missed.

3. Favorite Keyblade Design

Testament /cough cough

Fenrir, because Fenrir is freaking hilarious. It's basically just a giant car key that you get for handing Sephiroth's rear to him. I've never gotten it myself, but the idea just tickles me pink.

As far as less lulz and more aesthetic appeal go, my favorite is the Kingdom Key. It's got a relatively simple design so far as Keyblades go, but it works very well as a symbol of the game. It's simplicity belying badassitude, and I love it.

If we're talking favorite Keyblade to employ in the trade of asskicking, I remember using Bond of Flame for a very long time. Love that one.

4. Favorite Song from the games

But there are so many ;^;

It's a toss-up between Hazardous Highway and Working Together. Forget explaining; just listen:

Yes.

Actually, all things considered, Fenrir's a motorcycle key. XP

[kiaxet]

...somehow, that's even better. XD

[atrypical.livejournal.com]

I'm considering doing this meme but I've only played pieces of the games. :(

[kiaxet]

I'd play through a few of them first before you do it, then - it'll give you a wider variety, at least.

[atrypical.livejournal.com]

Also what is attention span, that too. :|a

... lol that icon. |D

[kiaxet]

Cut scenes. Youtube. Go. :|b

Oh... oops wrong journal... OH WELL.

You're probably working with an MP3, huh? Try converting it to a WAV and see if that fixes it? I always convert to wav's for Premiere. It chokes on mp3's a bit. Wav's make it happier, lol

Yeah, the wav will be like 30-40 megs, but it'll be recompressed once you save the wmv.

THAT'S OKAY Flonne is cute

[kiaxet]

I shall do that! And pray! 8D;;;

OF COURSE THEY ARE SET TO LINKIN PARK SONGS! THERE IS SO MUCH AAANNNGGGSSTTTTT and Xehanort is CRAWLING IN TERRA'S SKIN! HIS WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HE-AL!

PFT, anyway. I'll watch YOUR AMV when I'm not on the crappy computer. I've had this happen to me with WMM (it's the only program I have as well) but I can't really remember how I SOLVED the problem. Just that it's happened to me before @_@ Sorry I can't be more helpful but at least you know it's not just you?

/brb crying with laughter at that idea

You know, I think I figured out why the whole Linkin Park thing bothers me so. Sure, everyone's story in BBS winds up on a downward spiral into hell, but despite all that the characters never angst about it. We do get a few scenes of "oh my God what have I done" or "wow this is a bad situation to be in," but they're usually quickly followed up by sheer determination to either 1. make things right or 2. end somebody (towards the purpose of making things right). The characters don't angst. Angsty music doesn't fit.

/rabble rabble rabble

I'm going to take Jen's suggestion of converting the file. I just hope this doesn't mean I have to redo everything I've already done. |D

[bouncy-erbear.livejournal.com]

:o You know, I never thought about that until now. That's probably why I love the trio so much is that even in the face of this horribleness which they WOULD have every right to angst about they just clench their fists and push onward. All for the sake of their friendship. It's very touching really. Man, your making me want to make some KH vids again...once I remember the songs. I really need to start writing down these ideas I have. |D

I hope it works! WMM can be one of the most frustrating programs I know.
