Video Project original sound

http://youtu.be/hn5joOxpEtU

Please watch second version if we have time also.


OK, so for my video art project i wanted to do something of a psychological thriller where you aren't sure if i am real or a ghost or a figment of reeds imagination, or if reed is just having a breakdown. In this version i made it mostly silent with only a few key sound bits  as it is all supposed to be strange and haunting.
In the second version reed and i were playing around and he added the song to it and it ended up matching up perfectly somehow with every action, if i was able to go further with this project i would want it to be more like the second one because i feel it has a bigger impact.

 
^ kindof my inspiration

Hatsune Miku and how i hate anime.

So the idea of a Vocaloid is very interesting because it takes even entertainment industry jobs out of the hands of real live people, and creates an inanimate object to be desired by people. My problem with this, and honestly all anime as an art form, is the unrealistic proportions that make these characters desireable, to me, Anime is little more than cartoonized porn, and while i do understand that people that enjoy it could try and argue otherwise, i have zero respect for it. Big eyes, long legs short skirts and unrealistic proportions are created to form a character people want to be. The problem is, no matter how hard people try to be the character in cosplay, they are never going to be able to perfectly achieve the roleplay-esque man-trophy look of the characters. i like real people and real looks, i like dirt and blood and scrapes and uneven eyebrows, women who are unrefined and people who make mistakes. Quinton Tarentino represents reality more accurately in his archeatypes than any kind of anime. Anime is too much of just people living in a fantasy world for my taste, a world where singers are perfect drawings, and voices are completely generated. i support human error.
