With Answer, Stickwitu, and now Secret Base all successfully completed and uploaded, I've completed my big projects of the summer thus far! Hopefully, there will be a duet or two coming up but so far there aren't solid plans. I've been SO SO SO SO busy lately with those 3 projects that now that I'm free, it feels like something's missing without the hey I need to hurry up and record and/or mix nabbing at me.
I guess it doesn't always seem like it, but I really put a lot of time and effort into most of the things I do and I really did for those 3 things... :(
Anyway, this project really means a lot. It's
#TeamSiliconValley to thank for really being my main crew in the past year and letting me feel like I actually have IRL friends HAHAHAHA. (Well I have more now! But they were pretty much my only ones for a while, and I would've been extra lonely without them to hang out with. <3)
Now would be a good time to post these [horribly unflattering] pictures we took in a machine in the arcade outside the theatres when we went to see Despicable Me 2 :)
The last panel apparently represents me and Chiisana really well HAHAHA! We were shuffling around trying to get everyone to fit, and somehow it ended up only capturing the two of us except I'm just like LOL and sticking out my tongue, while Chiisana covers her face.
We've always talked about doing singing projects together since we sing, and we have artists, animators, and mixers. FINALLY we put our skills together and birthed a product. :'D
Chiisa and Y sound really beautiful. ;u; Although there are a lot of things that bother me about the mix, I'm pretty proud of this project... I don't think(??) it looks like most of it was actually done overnight? LOOOL... shhhhhhhhh
The all-nighter was worth it! (because Myst liked it and we succeeded at making her cry COUGH.) Though never again will I do 9 hours of intense overnight mixing. I was so absorbed that I forgot to drink or eat anything--though I finally remembered to eat at 6 AM--so it was pretty bad HAHAHA. But like I said: worth it.
(I'm actually really scared that the main parts sound bad or rushed aslkdfjlskfjlds I really had wanted to put my all into it.. ;;;; but in my defense, I spent most of my time working on the last chorus, timing and tuning everyone and stuff and....yeah but due to circumstances, I had to do a lot of the work for the main Yanevachii parts last night and. I'm scared. and am just hoping people are too distracted by feels to notice the gazillions of flaws ;___;.... A-a-at least the last chorus sounds great? /shot)
I feel like I keep telling the same stories over and over, but .. BUT.. I DO WHAT I WANT HMPH.
The four of us met up today at an ice cream/che/milk tea shop briefly before Myst had to leave for familyfriends dinner. By the time Myst had to go, we still hadn't shown her the video yet so we kind of stood blankly outside the shop like,
WHAT TO DO??? We made plans to hang out tomorrow, but since we went through so much trouble to FINISH THE VIDEO ON TIME, we wanted to actually display it on time haha.
We ended up running after her, and thankfully(? LOLL) she didn't lock her car doors, so we casually let ourselves in and all took a seat. HAHAHAHA. It was hilarious because Myst seemed legitimately confused and was wondering if we really were wanting to join in on her familyfriends dinner. So we asked for her phone because she has data, pulled up the video, shoved it in her face, and were like, "IT'S AN ANIMATION DEMO FOR [project]."
She looks at it and goes, "Wait.... This isn't [project]!"
And so we proceed to watch the video together. EXCEPT WE KEEP GETTING COCKBLOCKED BECAUSE SHE JUST GOT CONSTANT NOTIFICATIONS FROM SKYPE AND TWITTER LOOOOL. So sad because the song's supposed to be emotional but we just couldn't HAHAHA. Finally after everything was turned off, we settled down to watch the video together properly.
As expected (and just as we hoped..!), Myst started crying. And then Chiisana cried, except we were all like, "WHY ARE YOU CRYING?! YOU CRIED OVER THIS YESTERDAY TOO"
=_=;;;; But I think the biggest shocker is that I started tearing up too. Except I don't understand why?? because I listened to the song so many times that I started to not like it? LOL... AND I heard the mix so many times. Jeez. But it was our first time seeing the animation--beautifully done by Y--and.... when all 20 voices came in..... and everyone's names were displayed like that ;^; it kind of hit me too LOL.
By the end of it all, Y was the only one with dry eyes. =A=
So here you go! The fruit of our hearts and hard work ^o^ (not to mention desire to make Myst cry-- no that's just me-- or is it--)
