Tsunku turns out to be a bad man
The apparent translation to the song above, as also seen in the suggestive dance moves, goes something like this:
-(there are a few variations on translation from what ive seen but essentially there all the same evil)-
Non non
Crying won’t make you understand
Non non
That won’t get you anywhere
Non non
So now
Non non
Smile and let's go
When I put a spell on myself
Saying "Look at me now!"
Come on, make my imagination
Grow huge
Brand new blue jeans
Wear them out casually
When I talked about my dreams
I became pretty
A brand new youth
Wear it casually, with style
And, like a bittersweet movie
Tell me love!
All long time
Though I make a lot of noise
Love me! Love me! Love me! Love me!
I really want to do it
Love me too!
Though I make a lot of noise
Love me! Love me! Love me! Love me!
I really want to do it
Love me too!
Non non
I don’t get genuine
Non non
Simple is boring
Non non
It’s all about how you feel
Non non
Don't stop the music
Don’t you need it?
What’s a useless thing?
Let the illumination light up
The road ahead of me
Brand new blue jeans
Get ‘em all dirty
The mystery that starts from there
Is impossible to analyze
A brand new youth
Go all out and have fun
Like it’s a weekend night
Tell me love!
All long time
Though I make a lot of noise
Love me! Love me! Love me! Love me!
I really want to do it
Love me too!
Though I make a lot of noise
Love me! Love me! Love me! Love me!
I really want to do it
Love me too!
Brand new blue jeans
Break them in casually
When I talked about my dreams
I became a babe
Brand new blue jeans
Wear them out casually
When I talked about my dreams
I became pretty
A brand new youth
Wear it casually, with style
And, like a bittersweet movie
Tell me love!
All long time
Though I make a lot of noise
Love me! Love me! Love me! Love me!
I really want to do it
Love me too!
Where would the PMRC place this?
Is Tsunku right or wrong?
Berryz vs ºC-ute
Is this a joke?
Its so intense to watch with so much happening and with the songs being absolutely mad.
Is is cause for concern that the audience are either girls with deep voices or dirty old men...hmmm.

Tsunku too sexy for his pants
Documentary on this man? Big hitter in japan pop music. Writes the songs and runs the company that umbrellas a bunch of japanese girl pop groups. maybe similar to the company that did rebecca black etc.
Probably a very interesting carachter to explore.

Nancy Spero
Documentary to watch on Nancy Spero from PBS:
http://video.pbs.org/video/1239788836
For decades, Nancy Spero has drawn from the political to create compelling works of art that make a statement against war, the abuse of power and our male-dominated society. Regarding her paintings made during the Vietnam War, Spero says: “I guess maybe my art can be said to be a protest…The War paintings are certainly a protest because it was done with indignation.” Spero further explains how the politically-inspired work of her late husband, Leon Golub, not only stimulated, but also posed a challenge for her own work. “It was pretty damned difficult contending with someone who was so…brilliant,” she says.

Visualising Time
This is the idea im going with. Here is the making process:
This is the area for working, im using a glass bowl and some mud to start with:
Then im adding a layer aof newspaper over the top to make it stronger to hold the trees etc:
Bang on a layer of pva to make it a proper surface (i peirced hole in the newspaper so the pva sinks through and binds onto the soil):
Here is a shot of the models ill be using:
Getting it all dry in time is an issue, so heres my drying rig to deal with this problem:
I then painted over the PVA base a greeny brown colour mixed with PVA, which made it possible to stick grass on:
Add some buhes and trees and the people and voila:
These are just to make it look complete, i still need to design the landscape better and as you can see from the pic below i have plenty more props to work with:
This is a very brief update as im in a rush to go out so havent explained anything about the project or the point of it. Will sort this out when i have a chance.

Exskellements
This is a little experiment I've been playing around with. The idea is to take control over simple movements, and in this case putting it to music. Instead of just plain stop-motion im trying to see if its possible to control the speed of actions and timing of actions: taking control of the subject as if it were a puppet.
I need to workout the best way to interlink all the actions in order to make something interesting out of this and I think it would have to be a very carefully choreographed thing, but when it works it'll be banging.

YTPMV
FROM URBAN DICTIONARY:
1. YTPMV
See YouTube Poop.
A YTPMV is a music video featuring various clips from tv shows, movies, commercials, etc. repeated or sped up/slowed down to fit to a beat, usually techno.
eg:
YTPMV: Angelos Has QuickTime Pro in His Bag This Week
YTPMV: Kung Fu Cutman!
YTPMV: [Ronald feat. Burger & Fries] singing: Super Mario Bros. Theme.
This is the first time I have ever heared about these. In a way they're fantastic... thats my opinion for now.

Im having another look at these, ive taken two away because they were just awful but have left these up as there is still something about them that im in favour of.
The best way a can analyze it is probably the simillarities these videos have to the acid house sampling days of the 90s. Not my area of speciality but Im aware of the effect that its had on the music we listen to today. At the time (i'd imagine) it probably mirrored the style of these videos. Its almost impossible to see the point and they are a little bit too intense to watch for longer than 2 mins, but i love the idea that people are using whatever tools they have to abuse video and music to create something new. It seems to completely contradict the current 'apple' design aesthetic of keep it simple and I love the harshness of the video in compasison to the uber clean and soft (and almost boring now) canon & dslr videos.
In the most anal way to give an oppinion on things like this, its one of those 'videos for the people', but the best thing its it doesnt seem aware of this and they obviously don't give a s**t about what us outsiders think.

The end of a Dark Magenta week 1
For the past few days (since monday), danny, jack and myself have been making the 'Dark Magenta' trailer.
Ive been up all night trying to link the video to the computer and back to take the HD foootage and distorting it through a tape (street fighter), to give it a 'video nasty' feel. Im not so sure if it works well or if it looks like a youve been framed video, but at least i tried it.
This week has been crazy getting it all done, and there have been some fun ideas thrown about and filmed and we've been very lucky with the weather. The snow helps a lot! I have been up earlly in the mornings trying to find locations, and am giving this project everything. I've been keeping track of all expenses and a note of all contacts and places used.
I also used a casting site and have been inundated with people wanting to take part and act scared, so will probably need to plan some more scenes... and reply to them.... but its good to know there are so many ppeople available at such short notice - only put the ad up friday evening and already have 30 people replied.
Anyway, here is the video test that has been driving me mad tring to do.... as simple as it is and may seem, when your laptop doesnt connect to the tv, and the VCR doesnt connect to much, the whole thing becomes very frustrating!
Anyway, heres the vid that was shot on friday:

LCC Project
My project based on the colour 'dark magenta' from LCC has evolved into me making a trailer for a fantasy film called 'Dark Magenta' similar to the style of an Argento film. It will be a homage to his films and im excited about the outcome. I have spent all day looking for possible locations and buying all the dark magenta coloured props etc i could find. I am calling on a few friends to help out and will take it as it comes. get some tasty shots and see how it evolves...
