The unbelievable Panda!!

Hey everyone!
I just came back from the cinema where we (Philipp and I) watched an absolutely awesome movie. I'm talking about KUNG-FU PANDA (picture to the left), a movie about a panda bear who longs to be a Kung-Fu Master but doesn't really think he can be. Unfortunately nobody else believes in him either till the great master dies and everyone HAS to believe in him to fight against the "bad guys". Through a lot of action, funny dialogues and awesome animation this movie definitly is one of the best animation movies this year - okay, there aren't a lot out yet but _dang_ it's really awesome.
Anyway... if you haven't watched it yet, consider it. It's a lot of fun - the whole room was laughing - and some heartfelt moments are in there too.

Oh well, now I'm tired. It's the first movie since over 4 weeks and I have to catch up on so many movies. God, I wasn't able to do anything in Frankfurt - but that's another story.
See ya!

Short notice!!

Just to let everyone know - I'm back again. I've been in Frankfurt(M) the last four weeks to an internship and couldn't really update there. And before that I've been really busy working on papers and other things so - sorry that I wasn't here.
I'll be better now and post some news soon!

See ya then.

Busted!

Today it's official. I've just been busted!

What I mean?
Well, just got the notice that my youtube account has been deleted due to copyright violation. Okay, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. I'm guilty and I'm sorry - though I actually wrote that it was just to show what effects I wrote and it's meant to be art. For me, it is art. I'm doing it because I love to animate text and such things. Unfortunately I can't do it legally since DVDs don't support it and nobody is really interessted in it. *sigh*

Well. Can't help it. I'm going to see what will happen next. Don't think there will e any problem for me, but you'll never now.
I'll keep you in touch.

For now - BAD tomo! *slinks off*

Simon's Cat... Part1+2

...
cute, right?

Mother's Day

M-O-T-H-E-R

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.

by Howard Johnson

I've been thinking for some time now on what I should write, but I didn't really come up with anything decent. I've also been searching poems on mother and love and death, but couldn't find anything that catched my eye. So here's first a poem by Howard Johnson which is a really simple but still really great poem.

Since today isn't really easy on me I'll keep it at that and wish all the mothers and greatmothers out there: Happy Mother's Day, God bless and keep you all save.

Awesome Music?

Here we go.
That's my music-update.
I've been listening to a lot of ooooooooold music for some time now. I'm actually a big fan of 80ies music and stuff like that so I re-discoverd some long forgotten artists for me like.
Cyndi Lauper, Cher, Tina Turner, Bee Gees, Beach Boys, Elton John and so on.
I've also been buying a lot of best-of cd's recently - so I'm totally broke again. HAHA!
Here's some links of interessting bits'n pieces off of YouTube, my dear friend.







Okay, that's it for the oldies. I don't want to spam you up and down so I'll leave it at that. XD I also found something else I really find fascinating which I want to share with you. It seems like a real instrument, but It's probably just computer generated. Nevertheless I was astonished to see someone have an idea like that.
Please enjoy!

reading frenzy

It's remarkable how I sometimes loose time of everything around me when I discovered a new author and indulge myself in reading as many books in as short a time as I can - which happened AGAIN. NOOOOOOOOOOs! This again explains why I wasn’t much around in the last few days.

As I just said, I found a new author who I really seem to adore. I wrote some comments on her page and she actually answered me. That never really happened before so I'm really grateful. Anyway! This post is probably about Lynn Viehl aka Sheila Kelly, who's an American novel writer in 5 different genres. She currently has about 38 books published and a few free e-books with side stories, test novels and other stuff for the fans. If you really enjoy reading a lot I recommend stopping at her blog and read those freebies. You can find the link on the right side in my navi.
Anyway. What was I about to talk about? Ah yeah, right! Lynn Viehl. She's currently publishing the Darkyn series under this penname, which is (to say it in blunt words) a vampire novel. But it's not your average blood sucking fiend you'll read about but about a species which wasn't cursed, nor reproduced by sucking someone dry and rising as vampire, but by some up-till-now undiscovered plague which alternated their DNA. Most of them thought that they were cursed by god for doing things in the crusade which they probably couldn't even change because most of them were templars - but again, that doesn't really tell you everything since some of them weren't in the crusades but also had risen as Darkyn...
Anyway. I don't want to get too much into detail about what happened to them and what those things mean, but I'll tell you about how the story started. It started - as so many other stories start - with a girl and a boy. HA! God, that sounds boring but actually the story is really twisted and funny. You'll encounter strong characters, wits and pun beyond anything I've read so far, and boy, I do read a lot. Something completely new for me was that the characters of the first booked stayed with me throughout the others, so far.
The first book starts with Alexandra and Cyprien and an unlucky encounter which results in Alex getting bitten, nearly killed, hunted by the brethrens (some zealots who think everything they don't understand is therefore demon possessed and evil), falling in love, saving the day and lives of Darkyn, getting nearly killed again, dieing and returning to the living. Wow! The first book really had some firsthand action in it.
(My neck is hurting like a bitch, damnit!)
Anyway. It's a really exiting book which lead me to read the other 4 books currently out for that series and I have to say they get better and better. Hopefully Viehl plans to release some more books!

Okay. That’s it about the books. Maybe I'll write some more if I feel like it, but right now I've also got some awesome new YouTube videos, which I'll post in the next post!
As for now! Happy Mother's Day!

PS: Dang! Got 4 new books yesterday morning and I already finished two of them! XD *sigh*

Lovely GReeeeN

Guess what? My favourite color is green, but that honestly doesn't really matter right now since I'm going to announce the latest release of one of my works. Mognet released a really great song this morning and since I was part of it I'll post it here.
We released... *tadoom* a green song. Okay, no. That's wrong. It's a love song by a "green" band.... er, wait. I've got that wrong. It's a love song (Ai Uta) by a band named GReeeeN! Yes that's it. The song is by GReeeeN - Ai Uta.
GReeeeN is a really remarkable band with a strong sound and sometimes soft tunes. I really like their latest album and all so I'm proud to be part of this project which was first initiated by squarebox, a member of Mognet.
Anyway. This was a pretty hard song - effect wise - at first, since I didn't have the slightest clue. But after some thought and some try'n'fail I could work out effects which looked awesome and I ended up doing 3 diffrent effects for the song.
I hope you'll all like what we released today. Be sure to check back soon!!

That's it for today. Sleep tight and see ya soon!


Oh, before I forget it - here's the pic to the release.

When it Revolves, Luck Follows!

What a stupid title for a post but that's actually the translation of the song name. What I'm talking about again?
Oh well, guess! .. HA, yes, right. It's the name of my latest video release. It's this weeks Hello!Fansubs release and I decided to do Berryz Koubou's Omoitattara Kichi desse! from the latest H!P '08 Winter ~Wonderful Hearts Nenjuu Mu Kyuu~ concert. It seems like everyone really liked it. I tried to work with something new in this video but it unfortunately didn't work so I had to do it all over again, haha poor me. But in the end it worked out fine and I think it's looks pretty good. I added this little white wink which SC really adores, and some sparkles.
Well, as always if you want to check it out you've got to register on hello!online and download it from the tracker there.
Here's the pic to let you know how it looks like.
:D hope you all enjoyed it or will do so soon.
Have a nice sunny sunday!

Greets, Jazz.

sudden tide of events!

Guess what? My bridging day and weekend turned out to be totally unexpected. This week was a hell of a week. First my friend canceled our get-together and then I went to classes a day earlier (which I wrote about in my last post) and then on the same day... guess what? I unexpectedly let two people sleep here which came to Vienna without getting hotel reservations first, which was a really bad idea. We currently have a city fair here and some congresses and every hotel is booked out. They are friends of my aunt and since she also stayed here I agreed to let them sleep on my coach so they don't have to search another few hours for a cheap hotel room. They were really greatful to be here. So that was my Thursday, with sudden guests. On Friday I had to go to classes, which were boring as hell. I nearly fell asleep and to prevent that I played some Sudoku and read a newspaper. When I went home my aunt called and proposed that we should finally get my new monitor for my computer. Later that evening my aunts friends came back since I agreed to let them stay over here again and we had some delicious chicken for dinner. On Saturday my aunt and her friends went out to the zoo and had a fun time while I finally got some time to lay back and read some books. But later that afternoon the really big thing happend! My wasching machine broke down!!!!!!!! No, I'm currently not swimming here but I can't do my laundry, which is bad. Well can't be helped. My granddad came over today to look at it but we couldn't fix it. And now here I am :D my new monitor right in front of me and I'm so happy. We actually sorted out all the cables and stuff too, so it looks pretty now. I'll upload a pic later.
But I'm also really tired and exhausted from all the guests and everything *sigh*
I'm really not suited for all that. Oh well! I'll get around it.

Anyway - here are some pictures of the zoo. We've got a lovely new panda Fu Long who's really adorable. My aunt took some pictures.


Oh and I also wanted to share with you my first try to make selfmade apple dumplings - which were reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally yummi. We ate nearly all at once. haha!!

Dork!

Okay... I did it again ~_~!
I was at the university even though I didn't have classes. why? because I'm a dork and forgot to look on what day I had my class. Which means. I actually have it tomorrow but not today.
*sigh*
This is stupid. *sob* That's actually the 3rd time that I was too stupid to look on my scheudule. Well, can't help it. I'm going to do some homework now and do some other stuff I still need to do. My aunt is coming over later today so I won't come back.
Today there's going to be a new release! I hope everyone will look forward to it?

I'll tell you tomorrow about it, or maybe just a little later? ^^ Byes~

Please Smile, Boyfriend!

Time to catch up again. A few hours ago H!F released one of my videos. This time it was definitly one of the songs I really, really, reaaaaally wanted to do. I was actually dying to do it since I really loved it since it was released. We're talking about BerryZ Koubou - Warachaou yo BOYFRIEND, one of my favourite songs by Berryz. I was able to persuade SC to help me out on this since the version jh!p released I really didn't liked. I had the opinion that a song which is constantly singing about baloons should have baloons in it.
I'm really happy that it worked out this great and it seems people really like it too.
Well, I'm not going to talk much more and just let you enjoy it. Torrent as always is on Hello!Online. Till next time!

Releaseupdate

Time for another update on my releases!
Two of my latest works have been released within the last week. I'm a little late again, but I've been really busy and I'm already on the jump again. I've got to be out here in a few minutes so I'll probably make this really brief.

The first release was the concert performance of Athena & Robikerottsu's last single for the kids-anime Robby & Kerobby "Seishun! Love Lunch". The concert performance we choose to release because the DVD Raw for this song probably won't be out till december this year (it's supposed to be on the next pucchi best). We thought that was way to long to wait for this cute song, so we decided to work with the footage of the Hello!Project'08 Winter ~Wonderful Hearts Nenjuu Mu Kyuu~ concert. Hello!Fansubs is also going to release the PV as soon as the DVD Raw for it is out, but for now please enjoy this video.As for the effect I was a little restricted since I had to use the same colors and fonts we already use for the first athena song. I also had to try to match it with the style we choose for them but still try to make it my own (dunno if you'll understand what I mean). I think I pretty much succeded with it. I really love this song and performance.
The other song that was released was sona - harari hirari, which is an awesome sakura-themed song. It's also the theme song to the anime movie "Harukanaru Toki no Naka de ~Maihitoyo~" which I don't know at all, but I liked the manga. Oh well. This was basically an on the spot thing, since I got the timing from someone who told me "do it if you like, if not it's okay too". I actually like this song a lot. It was released under Mognet.
DANG, now I'm pretty late so I'm going to go off now. See yo in a few days?

Last Shopping Trip[Update] + Yesterdays Book Event

Well, time for some pics of my latest gets. (I know I really should have posted them earlier, but hadn't had any time yet)
Here is a pic compilation of my new pumps. I'm so glad I bought them. They are awesome!And here as a pic of my new bag. It's got a lovely nightmare before christmas motive. I so love that movie!

Well that's it from last time. Yesterday was a busy day. Before we could drool on Dean Kane aka. Clark Kent again, Esther and me went to a book bourse. It was really huge and they had lots of really old books and some newer ones, but only a few. Most of them were still bound in leather and were expensive and old. I so wished in that moment that I had the money, the room and the library to buy those books and fill it with them. I found a lot of books with fairy tales, castle legends and other such books and I love those things. I actually bought 8 books on the bourse while Esther only bought 3. T_T and it was her idea to go there. *sigh* never let me in a book store before stripping me of all the money or I'll end up with a bag full of books. *shudder*

The 2 big books are book about old railways which I bought for my granddad. He loves those, especially really old ones and I couldn't resist. 5 were books about märchen, legends and tales. And one was about english literature!

HA! I'm so happy I got those. The legents in particular. I love those. Well since I relaly have a lot to do I'm going to cut this short and I'll see you all the next time I update this... oh shoot! One of my videos was released. ok. so I'll see you later. going to clean up a little and do an update on my latest videos after that. see ya all!

Dave Thomas - Our Story

Hello folks! It's me - again. Anyway. I've been browsing through the net again and saw that one of the guys I subscribe too on youtube has had a new video out. Since I'm recently hooked up on Yann Tiersen music (even bought one of his albums) I had this guy - Dave - on my list and he released one of his new works which seemed to be entirly his own work. Not much known so far, but I thought I share it with you since this song sounds totally awesome and I so love music like that, piano music in particular. Well here it is: Dave Thomas - Our Story. An awesome song with a lot of feeling in it. Check it out!

dare ka imasu ka?

Just to keep you all posted on what's going on, since I'm not writing much right now...
I've been trying to catch up on some work - RL and online:

* ) Kumama and Stiltzkin are back from Japan so Mognet is back rolling with lots of new stuff to come in the future. 3 more PVs done and gone into encode. Hopefully they'll be done soon. Seems we're going to get some interessting new songs too. We added some BoC, Miyavi, Ken Hirai, Teriyaki Boys, YUZU and AAA. There'll still be more stuff and those artists won't be done for a long time, since everyone in Mognet has a shitlong list of pending projects *haha*
* ) Tried to figure out which hours I still need to attend to get my bachlor degree. Turned out I still need a shitload of exams, which concludes in me going on hiatus starting May 20th, to have some time to write on my bachlor project, learn for tests and get on track on some other stuff. Need to do lots of non-wanted reading... *sigh*
* ) Finished two new videos for Hello!Fansubs. One is a BerryZ one and one is a concert performance by Athena & Robikerobittsu. I so love this song now and it turned out great. Had to make it look themed, since someone else did the first song of this group. Oh well, I did it and it looks good. Unfortunately the DVD Raw of the actual PV won't be out until december this year. Sucks? Yeah, totally agree with you on that. (On that dvd - which is a pucchi best of - is also the C-ute Song I was supposed to do........ *sigh* everything's against me T_T)
* ) Oh, and the best! Went shopping for sneakers! Came back with pumps, which are awesome, and a "nightmare before christmas"-purse. HA! :D Though I still need sneakers! WAAAAAAAAAAA~ (I so hate shopping *sigh*, I never buy what I've been looking for)
* ) Watched season 1 and 2 of "A-Team" in three days. I'm all sore now and need a break. 11 DVD is a lot... *_* Murdock is sooooooooooo cool!!!! YAY for psychotic guys.
* ) I also got lots of praise for my new karaoke for Naruto Shippuuden. Seems like everyone liked it. Going to upload a cut for everyone here as soon as I have time.

Okay. that's it for now. It's late (nearly 7am here) and I still need to go to bed, so off I go!

BYE

First HaroRanger Release.... YAY?!

Sorry to be late on my post. Again...
My notebook kinda freaked and I had to format my hdd and reinstall everything, which sounds easy but is hard if you don't have any drivers at all.
Well, I somehow managed to fix everything - as you can see, since I'm writing again.

I still make this short since I'm really tired.
HaroRangers released one of my works. Tommy heavenly/february6 starring in her band with which she actually startedt out first: The Brilliant Green - sono speedo de.
This isn't the first video by BuriGuri I did, but it's definitly the first video I ever did for HaroRangers. Since Drazic seems to like my work I'm going to get some other new songs too, though first I've got to get some things done since... tammdaratamm... Kumama and Stiltzkin are back from Japan (earlier than I thought) and I've got to finish the new videos I've started for Mognet.
Well. These video effects are pretty new, since I never actually did them before - YAY!

Okay... I'm tired and lacking of finess so I just cut it short here and say goodnight.
I'll come back soon!

I'm alive...

Just a short notice that I'm still save and sound. The past two week were really busy with lots of friends being over and going out, Doing some research in the university library and preparing stuff for classes.

I'm also working on a lot of new videos. Actually finished 3 new ones for mognet, but since kumama isn't around they're pending now. Well, might as well work on some more.
Yesterday I decide to go on a break soon. Probably not this month or the next but I think I'll take my leave in july when I'm workingin Frankfurt, Germany. Well, we'll see. I think I'm a little exhausted from all the work I've been doing the last months. I#m just a little stressed out and mentally exhausted.
You know when I first noticed that something was wrong? When I started copying effects I already did for a pv and thought the effect was nice for the other video too, again. This is a point in my working carreer, that I can't accept so I'm going to take my leave for some time. But first I'll get some more of the pending projects out of my queue - the ones where I already know what effects I want to use! HA!!!
Since I still have some of them lying around I'll probably really need till july, till I finish them. maa, ii jan~
It'll work out somehow.

As you can see on the right, I've been busy changing the bar. I finally added the last.fm programm where you can see what I'm currently listening too, in near real time. hehe. this is really nifty but i really needed some time to get used to it.
My musical taste is really diffrent to what I'm currently releasing, right?
Oh well. I'm really more the old school rocker. Ulfuls, Southern all Stars, Kishidan, The Yellow Monkeys oh and a lot of Natsukawa Rimi and Kokia *laugh*. I hope to be able to release more videos of these groups at some time.
Well, that's it for now. See ya around! And thanks for stopping by~

Tsunami is Victory!

I hate it!! You want to know what?
That I'm too busy to write here. Again, sorry about being late to post stuff about my life and my work.
This time again I'm going to tell you about the last two videos that got released early last week. I think my work is much more interesting that what I have to tell you about my life. Again, that's just what I think.

Anyway!
My latest two videos... okay were to start?
Ah right, here. There you go.H!F released "The Bitch", which is my lovely synonym for one of my latest videos. I could still slap it around for being sucht a bitch to work on but I eventually finished it and now it's done and released. I'm talking about Morning Musume - Go Girl! Koi no Victory, one of the first Momosu songs I ever saw or heard of. It's pretty amazing that it's already a reaaaaaaaaally old song compared to some other stuff. Nevertheless I really hated to do it. As I wrote in one of the previous posts (where I didn't exactly say which video I was working on, but just that it was a bitch to work on) I already did this video once, so I had major problems in figuring out a new effect which included the instructions I got before I started on it. In the end I think it turned out pretty nicely. We decided on using diffrent colors for the diffrent groups which origined in the style of their clothing. If you look closely you'll see that some girls have a yellow, white, red or blue theme to their clothes. This is what we worked with. Most of the time it doesn't fit to the Close-up, but that's not our fault, but the fault of the people who made that video. *lol* Anyway. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as everyone else - except me - did.

Okay. Let's look at the other video. We're talking about one of Mognet's and my favorites. Southern All-Stars - Tsunami is one awesome song. Check it out and ... look at the hillarious hairstyle Kuwata has.When I first saw the video a few weeks ago (I knew the song long before that and actually know lots of lyrics by heart from this group, but I don't know any videos) I was acutally stunned. It was so pretty and so completely diffrent to what I thought it would look like. Sometimes I forget that these songs are really, really, reaaaaaaaally old. Anyway. This song had two conditions which Kumama told me before I even started. First: She wanted it to look like falling rain and rippling water. Second: She wanted "wind". Okay. So how do you do those two elemental effects on screen? Guess what? I think I did it. Kumama was jumping all over the place because I hit it right at the first try and we were finally able to release this awesome song.

Now she and Stiltzkin are off to japan for the next weeks, so I won't post any new video releases for Mognet. I'll see you later then, oh and please come by. I'm sure I'm going to write or rant some more about other stupid videos and effects.

As always THANKS to everyone who helped with these videos and answered to my stupid questions!
Oh and... torrents are on the retrospective sites which means Hello!Online for H!F and Mognet for ... uhm.. Mognet?

See ya!

Grass and Sakura?

Wow, has it been 3 days already? And can you believe another 2 of my works were released? No? Me neither.
Anyway, it's true. My two videos have been released and again I'm too late to comment on them. Shame on me but I was quite busy with another of my projects so bear with me please.
I'll make this a short entry since I don't have to say much about both videos.
The first one was a DVD-re-release of a PV I did for mognet almost 3 years ago and it hasn't changed that much. It's called Kaera Kimura - Real Life Real Heart. We slighly worked on the effects (because now I actually know how to do random moves which I didn't when I did that video first) but it basically remains the same. The font of the translation changed and we added kanji to it. This video was only released in h264 as we already did the Xvid version in 2005.The other video was a special request by Kumama. Kumama and Stiltzkin (both are my boss' at Mognet) are big lovers of a series called "Sakura Taisen", which had many diffrent releases for diffrent genres. I actually know about an anime, a live-action, shows on theaters, games and probably a lot more. Another thing there is in the Sakura Taisen theme is a cafe which will be closing its doors at the end of this month after over 10 years of business (if I remember right). And guess what? Yes! It closes right before she's able to get there. She's quite devasteted about it. So to celebrate the spring with it's Sakura event and in memory of the Sakura Taisen cafe we releaed the live-action dance instruction PV called Yokoyama Chisa - Geki! Teikoku Kagekidan.
Note the platform shoes Ogami's wearing (the guy in trousers) to fit the high of Yokoyama Chisa.
The effect itself is fairly simple. Which cost a lot of time was the drawing of the sakura flower pedals and the strange ornament on Chisa's Kimono jacket, which are both used in the background of the effect.
Well please enjoy both videos.As always the torrent are available for a short time on Mognet's Torrent Page. If you have some time please leave us some comments via the feedback from on the left bottom side of our page.

okay... this entry got bigger than I thought. Anyway. Have fun! Bye~
