This is the final accepted version.
Here is my first render, which they provided their feedback on:

Either way, Cad's happy with it and that's what matters.

PS: Yes, I pieced together the album art.
As mentioned in this [previous post] I was asked to make a looping song for Cad'ika_Orade's school project/game. This is the final accepted version. Both Cad'ika and my friend 90Sigma gave me some invaluable feedback during the development. In the end, thanks to them, I changed some sounds and sped up the tempo. Here is my first render, which they provided their feedback on:
I'm happy with how it came out, but I don't think I stuck to my original goal of merging the Mario song and that other 8-bit thing. (Last post)
Either way, Cad's happy with it and that's what matters. -Skylark PS: Yes, I pieced together the album art. By none other than the nefarious Cad'ika_Orade. The purpose? The music needs to go over a "Duck Hunt" clone he's making--with a team--for a school project. The aim? I'm going to try to combine the following songs into a conglomarite: (Second video: Only interested in first song that plays.)
I went to sleep listening to them last night, so now I can replay them both in my head at super speeds. :D -Skylark One of my favorite artists has released another great album... Equestrian Revolution III! The Equestrian Revolution series of albums by Aviators are all remix albums which he gives away, literally, for free. This is great music, and you should really check it out. Here's an embedded player for his third edition to this series: (It says "By Daniel Ingram" to show respect to the original music's composer.) Yes yes, that's right. Built right into your very own XBOX 360 is a media player, complete with "Neon", an interactive visualizer. I've personally used it before, so I knew you could fullscreen it, explore a 3-D world, and change the scene. What I didn't know was that there is more to it than that...
Check out this page to learn more: [http://minotaurproject.co.uk/x360manual.php] -Skylark But I'm already having a great day! So I sleep on top of this bed/desk thing. The bottom of it is a computer desk, and the top bunk is my bed. It looks pretty much like this one, but the shelving is a little different. (I like mine better.) Also, I have an alarm set on my phone to ring at 7:00 AM EST because I'm trying to wake up at 7 every morning. So my phone goes off and, as usual, I flick it off and roll over to go back to sleep... Then my bed squeaks like it's never squeaked before. I freeze. All notions of sleep aside, I carefully get out of bed and check all the support bars underneath the mattress. Well, nothing appears to be wrong, but at least I'm up now. Interesting how that happens. ^Take a random song. I listened to it this morning. ^Oh, and this one too. Though this is just a preview. Anyway!
One of my good friends' birthday was yesterday or something, according to Twitter. I've asked her when it was before, but she didn't bother to answer me. She's off at college now (Didn't bother to tell me that either) so It's whatever. I only know what I do because she Tweets. (Should I rethink this?) Her boyfriend (or something?) and I were reading along in Romans together, too, and someone else was tweeting quotes from a chapter I've read very recently. 'Made me feel special. After that incident, I was left to consider the recent changes I've been making to Nova Mundi. While I'm working toward an efficient and user-friendly system, it's not here yet. Instead, our old members have all come back. :D Rachel, Molly, Jeremy, West, some of the banned or forgotten, but I'm glad they're back. :) Now I'm supposed to be meeting Cad, a few hours before he leaves for the first day in a new semester. I don't know what we'll do when we meet up, but it'll definitely be relative to the server and some form of improvements. Actually, he's supposed to be here now. Where is he? "Before we go, two things! One is, uh, thanks a lot to everyone who supported us and stayed with us through thick and thin. And please look at maketradefair.com and please eat more chocolate and please listen to more Coldplay. Thanks a lot, good bye!" I just heard this at the end of a song. Odd. Funny, but odd. -Skylark As one of my favorite pony songs to sporadically break out and sing, it strikes me interesting that I've never quite memorized all of the lyrics to Winter Wrap Up. I listened through it a good number of times so that I may at least write down the lyrics. Because I like to throw my voice slightly for the purpose of impersonating each pony's voice during their solo, I included who sings what part and where. When I did this, I noticed that the ponies sing together or apart at some points which I never realized was done before. The most interesting thing to me is one particular word in Twilight's first solo... I've embedded this video for your benefit; so that you could read along with the music as it plays. - - - Winter Wrap Up - - - Rainbow Dash (solo): Three months of Winter coolness, and awesome holidays~ Pinkie (solo): We've kept our hoovesies warm at home, time off from work to play~ Applejack (solo): But the food we've stored is running out, and we can't grow in this cold~ Rarity (solo): And even though I love my boots, this fashion's getting old~ - - - Twilight (solo): The time has come to welcome Spring- and all things warm and *green, but it's also time to say goodbye. It's Winter we must clean. How can I help? I'm new, you see. What does everypony do? How do I fit-in without magic? I haven't got a clue! - - - Chorus: (Ponies) 1. Winter Wrap-Up, Winter Wrap-Up! 2. Let's finish our holiday cheer, 1. Winter Wrap-Up, Winter Wrap-Up! (Rainbow Dash) 'cause tomorrow Spring is here- 2. 'cause tomorrow Spring is here! - - - Rainbow Dash (solo): Bringing home the southern birds, A pegasus' job begins And clearing all the gloomy skies, to let the sunshine in! We move the clouds and we melt the white snow; (Ponies) When the sun comes up, it's warmth and beauty will glow! - - - Chorus: (Ponies) 1. Winter Wrap-Up, Winter Wrap-Up! 2. Let's finish our holiday cheer, 1. Winter Wrap-Up, Winter Wrap-Up! 2. 'cause tomorrow Spring is here- 1. Winter Wrap-Up, Winter Wrap-Up! 2. 'cause tomorrow Spring is here- 2. 'cause tomorrow Spring is here! - - - Rarity: Little critters hibernate- under the snow and ice. Fluttershy: We wake up all the sleepyheads- so quietly and nice! Rarity: We help them gather up their food- 'fix their homes below. Fluttershy: We welcome back the Southern birds- so their families can grow! - - - Chorus (Ponies): 1. Winter Wrap-Up, Winter Wrap-Up! ^(Rarity) Winter, Winter~ 2. Let's finish our holiday cheer, 1. Winter Wrap-Up, Winter Wrap-Up! ^(Rarity) Winter, Winter~ 2. 'cause tomorrow Spring is here- 1. Winter Wrap-Up, Winter Wrap-Up! ^(Rarity) Winter, Winter~ 2. 'cause tomorrow Spring is here- 2. 'cause tomorrow Spring is here! - - - Applejack (solo): No easy task to clear the ground, plant our tiny seeds. With proper care and sunshine, everyone it feeds. Apples, carrots, celery stalks, colorful flowers too! We must work so very hard, Ponies: it's just so much to do! - - - Chorus (Ponies): 1. Winter Wrap-Up, Winter Wrap-Up! 2. Let's finish our holiday cheer, 1. Winter Wrap-Up, Winter Wrap-Up! 2. 'cause tomorrow Spring is here- 1. Winter Wrap-Up, Winter Wrap-Up! (Pinkie) 'cause tomorrow Spring is here- 2. 'cause tomorrow Spring is here! - - - Twilight (solo): Now that I know what they all do- I have to find my place, and help with all of my heart- 'tough task ahead I face. How will I do without my magic- help the Earth Pony way? I wanna belong, so I must- do my best today- do my best today! - - - Chorus (Ponies): 1. Winter Wrap-Up, Winter Wrap-Up! 2. Let's finish our holiday cheer, 1. Winter Wrap-Up, Winter Wrap-Up! 2. 'cause tomorrow Spring is here! 1. Winter Wrap-Up, Winter Wrap-Up! - - - Twilight (solo): 'Cause tomorrow Spring is here~ 'cause tomorrow Spring is here~ 'cause tomorrow Spring is here! - - - END - - - *green.
When Twilight sings the word "green" in her line "and all things warm and green.", her voice is skewed just enough to suggest either another pony singing in harmony with her, or some pitch-shifting post-recording. Happy singing! -Skylark - - - Hasbro owns the My Little Pony brand. A clone of this post is on my [DA Page]. It's that time of the vortex; Skylark's tossing wibbly songs at us again! Come on, it's a classic.
-Skylark I duno' if anyone ever noticed, but I like usin' apostrophe's to abbreviate words a lot. Yup, I jus' do it sometimes. Next, I got double pizza last night! Hurrah! My dad went off to Papa John's to collect his custom order of two burnt pizzas, and came home a bit later than expected with four pizzas! Apparently they forgot to burn his pizza so they gave him the non-burnt pizza and burnt another two for him! I love it when things like this happen. :) While I was munching away on this delicious mistake, I fulfilled a commission from homemaker-mom.com to make a themed approval stamp. I worked away on my own for a little bit, making a total of three revisions which were all rejected. In the end, my client watched as she directed me to do exactly what she wanted for this seal. I know that doesn't sound too hot of me, but trust me, it was. Each of my three rejections looked neat and abstract, but they didn't fit her idea. In the end, I was able to utilize Inkscape to fulfill live commands issued from another person in a very quick manner. I'm happy. Now, while I was creating the frame for my commission, I began seeing funny shapes on it and an idea came to mind to use the frames general shape as a guideline for another drawing. CRT Robot This CRT robot, or Cathode Ray Tube robot, or "Dinosuar TV" robot, is intended for folks to download the source file I provided and use it as an overlay for their pictures or video. If done properly, it could look like the robot really has a T.V. in it's chest! What's that you say? Of course I'm alive. What else would I be doing, aside from not blogging for two weeks, than playing games and making stuff! I've been going through that "newb" phase you get when you get new software. I toy with it, hate it and don't wanna' mess with it for a while, then I get inspired and follow a-bagillion tutorials... Yeah. The focus of my project? An opening animation for future videos produced my my mom's site, homemaker-mom.com Even though I took my sweet precious time with it, the two-week timeframe seems a bit long for something this short. Yeah.
I will say, I've learned enough from my mistakes in making this file, that I could replicate it again in under a day; given that I don't have to spend several hours getting the vectors in order again. What's this about vectors, you say? I made all the source files myself. Yup. You can take a look at the wallpaper variation I made on my Deviantart Gallery here: [http://fav.me/d6hqw7e] Aside from that, I've been listening to this crazy-awesome remix of "A Friend for Life" done by JayB. Like I said, it's crazy awesome. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epJ9lm4KsgE] -Skylark I've been doing a mixture of watching tutorials and exploring my new movie making software, mentioned in this post: http://skylark-torch.weebly.com/1/post/2013/07/movie-making-beginnings.html For my first in a series of expected "Test Videos," I practice beatmapping to the opening of one of my favorite songs, Magic is Timeless, by Archie V. |
