Waiting on hurricane Ike.....
Certain to lose power soon.

We just put on our sixth NoBrandCon this last weekend. Here are the highlighted sections I was able to actually catch on video (as I was incredibly busy).

All I Have

Highlights from a year of video sharing. Music is "Video" by Jeff Lynne and Giorgio Moroder from the Electric Dreams soundtrack.

This is SUPER AWESOME and took me 78 hours to complete...no kidding!!! ENJOY!!!!!



***read on if you want detailed description of the process of making this AMV***

Harder: *The ending video after Lee's broken   more...the screen*......was the beginning of the project and was the challenge to me to make an amazing techno video to surpass DotA and Boten Anna. It was hard and I discovered some new tricks, but I wanted to make "Harder" and I finished it without pushing myself.

Better: *The very beginning up until the words show up*....I planned to make the video open pretty simple and look innocent, but build up to a great climax. In short, it was better. It was meant to keep the audience wondering what's coming next.

Faster: *When the words began to show up til the words dissappear*.....This section was faster, putting it lightly. It was FILLED with eye-popping effects and makes anyone's heart race. It pushed me to the edge of my patience with Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0 and it's effects. It was all about the shinning effects at this point and about building to a climax.

Stronger: *From the end of the words til Lee breakes the screen*....It was the longest segment and tested my patience, abilities, and creativity. It took the longest to complete as well. I had to create original effects to fill in the gap between the first segment I made and tell the story of why you're seeing computer chips in the end and a video screen in the beginning of the clip. It was also slowly backing off from the spectacular effects to fit into the end segment harmonously. It was a challenge.

Overall: This was the most effort I have and will EVER put into a video. Over 78 hours staring at a computer screen. I have maxed myself out on effects and know all the capabilities of the program. I am a better editor because of it and I have a LOT more patinece than I did before. In short, it was a HUGE learning experience and it was worth every second of it!

Sowelu, born Aki Harada , is a J-pop singer. She was born on November 6, 1982 in Tokyo   more...to a Japanese father Yoshitaka Shimada and a half-Irish half-Japanese more...mother. Her career started in 2002 with the release of her first single Beautiful Dreamer, a soft love ballad which did very well in the charts, and was later featured on the Relaxin’ with Japanese Lovers compilation album. Her first single was modestly successful, and it wasn't until the release of her album Geofu in the summer of 2003 that she gained recognition. Geofu did exceptionally well in the charts, scoring a number 4 position with more than 300,000 copies sold. Her first single after Geofu, "Rainbow" was used as the theme song for the Japanese drama Netsuretsuteki Chukahanten, and the other A-side song on that single, "breath ~Omoi no Youryou~" was used for the national promotion campaign of JFN Radio. She performs under Sony Music Japan's DEFStar records label.

Her next big single "Glisten" was used in a make-up commercial for Menard products, and did fairly well in the Japanese market. With this success, she gained even more popularity, and was asked to sing the end theme for the popular TBS animated series Fullmetal Alchemist, entitled "I Will", giving her an easy in with American fans. Because of "'I Will"', the two other songs included with her "I Will" single, "Candy Rain" and "Pearl Color ni Yurete", became popular among American fans. In 2005, her song "Candy Rain" was featured on the Soul Tree: a Musical Tribute to Toshinobu Kubota album and "Pearlcolor ni Yurete" was on the Momoe Yamaguchi tribute album Thank You For.... Likewise, her third single "Fortune" was selected for the American J-Pop compilation album Neo Soul, and "Across my Heart" from the Geofu album was added to the "Smooth Listening Compilation" album.

In November 2004, Sowelu released her 8th single, "Last Forever", which became the TV insert song for the new drama There goes Nurse-man, and her cover of "The Rose" was featured on a Nescafe commercial. Then finally, after one and a half years of waiting, Sowelu released her second album Sweet Bridge on January 7, 2005.

In 2005, Sowelu contributed to m-flo's album BEAT SPACE NINE on the track "So Exclusive", and again on their album DOPE SPACE NINE in the same song, remixed by Korean fusion band, Clazziquai.

In the music video for the song "to YOU" several photographs of her family and her childhood are intercut with scenes of her singing in a wide room with large glass windows. According to her website, the video location is a church about one hour away from Tokyo by car. At the end of the PV, the family members in the photos make an appearance together with Sowelu, including her grandmother, her mother and even Sowelu's pet chihuahua.

Her latest album "24-twenty four-" was released on July 12, 2006. It debuted at #3, her highest ranking yet. The album remained at the #3 spot for two weeks on the Weekly Oricon Album Charts. One of the album's songs is used as the ending of the 9th Pokemon movie Pokémon Ranger and the Prince of the Sea: Manaphy.

On December 12, 2007 Sowelu released her latest single "?". The single had moderate success and reached #28 on the Oricon Weekly Charts. More recently Sowelu will participate in the 2008 Nike ad campaign, "MY MUSIC,MY FORCE"; along with Perfume, Shoko Nakagawa, HOME MADE  less
