dhampyresaSo my time perception is shot -- I keep thinking we're early/mid-January which is a tad of an issue when I have deadlines at the end of January. Oops.
Day 2
Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Under a cut because video heavy
I am pretty sure everyone knows what a fanvid is already, but for the sake of clarity, a fanvid is when someone takes images from a canon they're fannish about and puts music on it. Toy Soldiers (below) is an example.
Toy Soldiers from Deirdre on Vimeo.
But I'm not hear to talk about fanvids. I'm hear to talk about the opposite: animatics, ie someone takes music they're fannish about and puts images on it. THEY DRAW ENTIRE VIDS (and even occasionally animate?!) I find the amount of effort involved absolutely mindblowing, even when no actual animation is happening.
Here are five I found relatively recently, that I think show a good spread of what animatics are like. Wrote down the names of the songs, below the vid embeds.
"Way Down Hadestown" from the Hadestown musical
"I Know Those Eyes/This Man is Dead" from the Count of Monte Cristo musical
"The Night" by Voltaire
"The Mariner's Revenge Song" by the Decemberists
"Ready As I'll Ever Be" from Tangled: The Series
"The Plagues" from the Prince of Egypt movie
Plagues goes SO HARD as a song.
