ByTor, Prince of Ro’den Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I figured I would get this topic set in motion by posting a Sonic video I made some time ago: SatAM set to Pink Floyd's Welcome to the Machine. To those who haven't seen it before, enjoy! For those who have already seen it, you can watch it again and enjoy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedStranger Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 This song is such a fitting for Robotnik and Satam in general. This song drips with lyrical meaning pertaining to industrialization and the potential for dehumanization due to modernity. It's great to see it in a fitting animated context. It rekindles my love for the song. Tonally these two aspects fit together like peanut butter and jelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByTor, Prince of Ro’den Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Thanks. I don't know wot it is, but to me this is cringe worthy; I'm usually that way though with my old work. I see many places where other scenes could've worked a lot better and the interlacing... ugh; it hurts my eyes. I might have to redo this one eventually.

Many artists do. There is this hilarious story where comic book great Alex Ross actually had journalist come to his house while he was rummaging through old stuff from his childhood in storage. The journalist found these little figurines of superheroes Ross cobbled together when he was five. Ross was livid about their shoddy craftsmanship. The journalist was fascinated. Artists connect to their works on a different level than those who get to see their prior works. We see the craftsmanship of older works for their craftsmanship rather than the ideas they evoked. We are mostly occupied with the messages as they are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to have that problem just when it comes to ideas and stories: I could spend an entire month planning an "epic" storyline in my head but then bash it down as believing it's not good enough for anyone to enjoy and that I am just being too proud about my ideas. Hence to say, I tend to not share my stories or ideas to many people unless I can gain their trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art is a transformative process and there is always a need to redraft and re-sketch and reconceptualize. Feedback is vital for that process, so don't snuff out that light. This whole place is about finding those people you can trust to become a stronger artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishapar Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Feedback is nice, but it has to come from the right people. One reason I have trouble with giving out ideas is because where I live, well...not a lot of interest. Most people in my region are only interested in hunting, fishing, sports, or politics. Not very exciting and not very engaging when it comes to talking about stories that seem weird to their point of view. I wouldn't consider myself an artist as I really have not done much writing outside of college papers and some poems. It's one thing to have a story being formed in the head: it's another to start taking the steps of planning and writing. But I get your point there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I get your point there With all that said - I think you are just in the right place, Ish. If you want to take that moniker in full - we're here to hell and give feedback every step of the way. Also, I am making a place for Essays in the academic section soon. Also, you can post Poetry in our apt non-sonic section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedStranger Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Back on Topic: I will expect more AMV's from you Bytor. And from others. It's a fun art form to watch. It will be cool to see how you have improved your skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishapar Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 When it comes to AMVs, I never understood where people get the movie/tv clips to make the video. Is there a program you use to copy segments from dvds to use in the video or is there an easier way that I am overlooking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByTor, Prince of Ro’den Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 I use Handbrake to rip the footage; just make sure you own the DVDs/Blu-ray. Not advocating piracy. https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
