…and so the drive begins. The HiME project

So now I have a connection at home again. A DSL line that I really can’t be picky about. After all it gets the job done. So far I have a few sought after OST’s and albums. My writing drive is rebooting … slowly. And I think maybe it’s time to try to do AMV’s again. You guys remember my first attempts. You know that horribly timed one that I made with Windows Movie Maker. I remember I used Gundam SEED and ‘The Kids Aren’t Alright’ by The Offspring.

Well, there were four of five after that one. And I don’t have anything to show for them or any of my other works. A few mindless purges deleted all my work. No, I deleted them in a few fits of destructiveness. Something that I regret now but then don’t we all? So I think it’s time for a revival of sorts. But then I always say that don’t I?

So, here goes, X111.com bloggers will be my impartial guinea pigs for a new AMV Project. This project is to use the anime Mai-HiME featuring the entire album ‘The Open Door’ by Evanescence. Each song will or rather the charecters and themes have already been selected. The listings of theme to charecter will not be revealed so don’t ask. The project with use all thirteen songs from the album and could use footage from all twenty-six episodes of Mai-HiME.

Why Evanescence you ask? When there are so many better choices? I agree with you to some extent but I sat down with a source and discussed the project and decided that I would use an album instead of jumping between other artists and albums just for the challenge of using set material to my creative ability.

Why Mai-HiME? Because, it’s one of the better series to have come out in recent years. Anybody who has seen the series would know the turns it starts to take towards the end. Even though it may seem silly in the beginning, it’s an excellent canvas for me.

So that’s it, people say I need to post more. What better then a project to ask about and subsquently pester about?
