JOURNAL: Dragonmaster Lou (Lou Arruda)

  • Lunar/Moulin Rouge video finished! 2004-04-19 23:27:53 I finally finished it. This is my first attempt at a sappy/romantic video, but I think I did okay with it. I'm currently encoding the video -- as soon as I have a good mpeg encoding of it, I will upload the puppy.

    In other news, Anime Boston was a blast and I felt fortunate to have made the finals at its AMV competition with my Asuka video. The competition was pretty intense, but the winners truly did deserve to win, I felt. Congrats all around to the winners and those who made the finals.

    Anyway, I hope this Lunar video will at least help me repent for my Asuka video -- while it got a good crowd reaction, the general response I got from it was "You are going straight to hell for that video!" Mission accomplished. :P 
  • Started new video 2004-01-25 21:17:32 I was in a sappy mood, and given as how I'm an ultimate Lunar fanboy, I decided to do a Lunar 2 video to "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge. 
  • Latest video online 2004-01-19 21:10:13 Asuka Baby One More Time is finally online. 
  • All my older videos are online 2004-01-15 22:26:52 "Alex vs. Ghaleon: Duel of the Fates," "Cruel Xenogears' Thesis," and "All for Love" are currently online now.

    These are my first three videos, and well, a lof of what they were were experimental. Right now, I'm especially embarassed by the really long bumper before the video on All for Love -- sorry, I was young and dumb and didn't know better at the time. I plan to keep my bumpers short from now on. :) 
  • Testing 2004-01-13 20:57:24 I'm just testing this out -- never done it before, so I'm playing with it. Oh, and I've uploaded my first two AMVs -- "Alex vs. Ghaleon: Duel of the Fates" and "Cruel Xenogears' Thesis."

    "Alex vs. Ghaleon" is my first ever video, and it shows. In retrospect, I realize just how badly done it is... but I'm a die-hard Lunar fan, and I was like, "Cool, I could make a video!" at the time. A lot of it was just a learning experience with the tools I had at my disposal. So yeah, it'll probably get a crappy rating, but hey, that's life, and you gotta start somewhere.

    "Cruel Xenogears' Thesis" was my second video, and up until now probably my best ("All for Love" has a couple glitches in it that, well, I don't like, but I didn't catch until I stupidly deleted much of my source material and only had the MPEG version. I was a newbie back then and stupid). Anyway, check it out if you've seen both Evangelion and Xenogears and be prepared to be disturbed. :)
