| | Thursday, September 18, 2008 at 8:08 AM | | Hmm.... Okay, I think I wont be finishing off my *Keep Holding On* Video until around Christmas as my Dad has promised that I'll get Sony Vegas for my birthday. *fingers crossed* So I hope it all works out! | |
| Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 12:34 PM | | OH MY FRICKING GOD... It's over. I can't believe it's over. It can't be over. I want to know what happens to Ursa and to Jeong Jeong and Piandao and not to mention Azula! Never forgetting all thoe unresolved Zutara moments! Also... *shudders* Maiko Kiss... *shudders again* (Zuko looks so good in his Fire Lord outfit! He looks like he's twenty or something) *trembles with the over-cuteness of the thing* Kataang Kiss to end it all. Ah, well. Zutarians, we knew it was coming. The producers just couldn't more...handle our genius ideas and nail-biting conclusions. Instead they went with... Aang.
Never the less Aang was pretty amazing in the part when he was (was not) being corrupted by Ozai's spirit. So kudos to the kid. He ain't as good for Katara as Zuko but he acquits himself well.
Anyway........ I LOVE AVATAR AND IT DESERVES FAR MORE ATTENTION THAT IT IS GETTING RIGHT NOW!
Avatar! How I will miss you... less | |

| |  | My Heart if You Will Swear ~*~A Maiko Video~*~
02:30
Is this - gasps! It's a Maiko video! From me! I am disgusted at myself.
Okay, not really. I heard this song ( having been in love with the soundtrack more...of the musical ever since my parents gave to me as a present many, many centuries ago...) again recently and to me, it screamed: MAIKO!!
Dark, evil, twisted Maiko, the way only Maiko can be*.
The story is simple to those who don't really know the context of the song.
Mai is in love with Zuko - in fact they're betrothed, have been since childhood. But by now Zuko is falling in love with Katara and Mai isn't too happy. So in this song she gives him a choice: he can have Katara (and lose out on riches he will gain through the marriage) or he can have her... if he kills Katara.
Will he? Won't he?
I'm thinking of doing a follow up to this with another song from the musical *Torn Apart* from Zuko's POV - but I want to wait until I might get Song Vegas as there's this one particular effect I want to use...
Oh well! Enjoy! Remember, I own nothing!

|  | I Loved Her First ~*~Beta~*~
01:51
A Hakoda/Katara video, inspired by Scurvied's Disney version of the same song over on YouTube. A lot of implied Kataang but that was because there a nil more...clips of Zuko dancing with Katara. Sparring, I thought, didn't really count. You can't really look in love with someone when you're fighting them, especially the way Katara fights.
Programme Used: Windows Movie Maker
Song: I Loved Her First by Heartland.
A very simplistic but (hopefully) heartfelt video detailing a bit of their relationship. less

| |  | Get Back Zuko! ~*~Preview~*~
02:38
zutarataangkataang on YouTube recently asked me if I could make a video of Demi Lovato’s song *Get Back*. I was losing out on ideas for a while and thought more...it could be a good idea so here it is! It’s only a preview though as the ending is proving a little bit tricky. Definitely started experimenting a bit with this video so plenty of effects! I had great fun with this!
Naturally a Zutara video - how could I do anything else?
Okay, I’m working on my addiction, I promise… :P

|  | In Honour of Lu Ten
03:55
In Honour of Lu Ten…
The titles just says it all, doesn’t it?
Anyway, a video dedicated to my favourite Avatar character of all time - Lu Ten! more...Son of Iroh, Grandson of Azulon, Cousin of Zuko and Azula and supposedly killed in the Siege of Ba Sing Se.
And hence, hideously and unfairly underused.
But I’m afraid I’m one of those people who just can’t accept it. Yep, folks, I believe LU TEN IS NOT DEAD.
That was one of my reasons. Another was that I commented on a completely wonderful Zutara video of BlackFire13’s and mentioned how I’d always seen this song connected with Lu Ten. She suggested I try it myself. After scoffing mentally - me? (I’m very lazy, unfortunately) - it hit me.
Why not?

Song: Sound the Bugle by Bryan Adams

| |  | She Only Sees Me Through Their Eyes...
00:47
A short video because, admit it, this song suits Zutara down to the ground. Zuko stubbornly standing alone, Katara prejudiced because of her own personal more...history....
Story line… Katara walks away from Zuko and he reflects how he has to always stand alone because he’ll never be truly accepted by her or her people because of his Nation and his position as Prince.
I admit it was because of AVAGeek’s earlier videos - when I saw what she did with only WMM, I grew so ashamed. So that was enough of a kick up the ass I needed to going moving on my video making and trying to improve my WMM skills!
Song - I Stand Alone (Reprise)
Artist - Not quite sure but the song is from *The Magic Sword: Quest For Camelot*, one of my all time favourite movies! The songs in it are OOTW!!
Programme - Windows Movie Maker less

|  | Azula - The Golden Age
01:31
An Avatar Trailer parody of *Elizabeth: The Golden Age*.
1585. The Water Tribe Armada are set to invade Fire Nation shores. Soon the army of Avatar Aang more...will be invincible.
Only Azula, the Fire Lord stands in their way.
With the wise counsel of Iroh and the support of Zuko, will she be enough alone to defend her nation and defeat the ruthless enemy?
Oay, I admit it, I should have been working on other projects but inspiration struck when I saw this trailer. It was electric! And who else but the indomitable Azula to stand in as Elizabeth the First of England?
An unusual trailer, I think, as most of the trailers/videos protray Azula as the ENEMY. With CAPITALS. But now, I've done it, I think it was interesting to see how she compares as a hero.
**********
Time Completed: Not too sure but around 3 hours, give or take.
Program used : WMM, for my sins...
Song/Audio Edited: Nope!
Anything Else?: Did I mention how Azula is now starting to grow on me?

| |  | Keep Holding On - Preview
00:19
Okay, here’s a preview to one of the MEGA-videos I’m planning: Keep Holding On.
It’s a kind of tribute to the Season Finale. I was flicking through more...my iTunes one day and played it and BANG! It hit me about how this is almost the theme of the Gaang, particularly for the finale: to keep holding on, through all the friendships and keep fighting for Aang and for the world.
The opening bit is showing how Aang sees his other past lives and their power and is scared that he’d not live up to that and fail…
Tell me what you think! It’s short but (I think) kind of sweet! less

|  | Zutara - In The Middle of the River
02:14
Another extremely fluffy Zutara video, featuring the song *Middle of the River* sort-of-from Pocahontas. My first time using Season Finale clips! I was more...saving them for my planned *Keep Holding On* Video but this video was so much more interesting!
I think I might do a Kataang video soon… I’ve been doing so many Zutara (and… uh… yeah, pretty much just Zutara, lol!) videos recently that it seemed time to be gracious and take notice of my severest rival.
But that is in the near, near future. Right now… WHAT ARE YOU DOING STILL READING THIS?? YOU’RE MISSING MY VIDEO!!! less

| |  | Avatar - It's HAIRSPRAY!
02:16
I had the best fun with this video. Partially inspired by irishgal487’s *Nicest Kids in Town* video (which is extremely good, watch it!), it features more...SOKKA as CORNY COLLINS. What can I say, Sokka is one of the best characters for presenting and singing these type of things. To be honest no other character occurred to me.
I used a few different things in this video (loads of transitions, yay!) but they’re a secret… Watch it and find out!
Anything else? Oh yes. The groups of people in grey (including Kyoshi warriors, Kyoshi townspeople and Joo Dees) are the choruses.
Apart from that, I hope you enjoy this video and that it makes you laugh a little! less

|  | Katara - She's the Man
02:21
Oh. My. God.
You wouldn’t believe the trouble I had with the saving of this video.
First I saved normally and there were huge blank, black spaces. more...And since I appreciate my viewers (suck-up, that’s me, lol) here I refused to let that happen. So then, I saved it in three separate parts and tried to stick them all together. Again - nil. So I had to go back and make countless versions of it to cut out the blank spots! Aaargh!
Well, background. This is the part where I ramble! Yay! Rambling is fun! (so fun, I’ve started already…)
Someone over on You Tube (I’m sorry if I’ve forgotten your name! Trust me, you were the kick-up that I needed to try this!) suggested to me to try and make a modern trailer, since I seemed to be a bit stuck in historical ones. So I looked around… and found She’s The Man.
Initially, I liked the story plus the trailer was fun - I loved the amount of transitions in it and the effects. So it gave me a chance to explore WMM a bit and see what I could do. There are a few effects in this trailer and I really tried to explore with my transitions -no more fade for me, no siree!
So here’s the trailer and the cast….
Viola/Sebastian - Katara
Duke - Zuko
Olivia -Suki
Dinklage (the Coach) - Jeong Jeong
Justin - Jet
Malcolm - Aang
Gold (the headmaster) - Iroh
Sebastian (the real one) - Sokka
Viola and Sebastian’s father - Hakoda
Monique - Azula
Viola and Sebastian’s mother - Aunt Wu less

A multi-ship video (okay, so it's not featuring some couples - but hey, only so much I can do) to the song *The Rose* by Westlife - that group of spongers. more...very, very old, back when I wasn't as au fait with my nemisis Windows Movie Maker... *sigh*... What I'd give for someone to buy me Sony Vegas for my birthday... (hint, hint, lol!)... and for my dratted codec to marterialise. less

|  | Gladiator
01:15
Squeee!
It’s done! It’s finally, finally done!
I’m so proud! I’m so happy!
Hah-ha… Yeah, I’m delirious. But it worked out! All the clips worked more...out perfectly - even the Boiling Rock ones and it looks - dare I say it? - okay.
Aaaah! Lol!
But anyway, the brief outline.
Yes, it’s the *Gladiator* trailer with Avatar. To anyone not familiar with the storyline of Gladiator, it’s about a General who refused to support the new Emperor of Rome (because he believed the new Emperor killed his own father) and is condemned to die. But then he escapes and is captured as a slave. Sold to an ex-Gladiator, he joins the gladiator school and soon becomes famous, travelling to Rome to fight in the Colluseum and coming face to face with his old enemy once more.
For the epic part of Maximus… Who else other than Zuko could take on that role?
Okay and as for the shipping…
Katara is the wife of Maximus who was killed by the Roman soldiers after Maximus was condemned to die. Mai is the sister of the new Emperor who is half in love with Maximus since childhood.
And yes. Aang is meant to be Mai’s son.
Enjoy! And please don’t forget to comment! less
