I, too, can create!

Hey all. In my continued effort to be artistic, I've got two new projects for you to check out. One is the super awesome Anime Music Video that some of you may remember Mayama and I working on to premiere at Geek.Kon 2007. It's finally being hosted on the internet (in two places....YouTube and animemusicvideos.org) so I thought I'd take the liberty of embedding it here for you to watch. Because if you don't put it on your own blog, where DO you put it???

Anyway, the song is Grace Cathedral Hill by The Decemberists. The anime is FLCL. What we tried to do with this video is bring out the heart and soul of FLCL, beyond all the innuendo, the crazy randomness, the alien life forms, the giant robots, and use this especially artistically sad song to pull out the theme that runs strong through FLCL (which apparently a LOT of people can't see) about how much it sucks to grow up. This song is actually pretty sad (in that beautiful way that makes me happy) and so is FLCL when you get to its core. I've watched it enough times to get under the Gainax, wtf is going on, mask...and that show is a beautiful piece of animation.

So.........here is our first (in a hopefully long line of) indie rock AMV.



Second thing.......writing the text for the comic. I don't have a lot of it typed in, and I haven't even really started to think about the art, but it's Yukino and Mayama as we see ourselves in a shoujo comic about high school.......and we like it.
