This is spoiler review. You can find my spoiler free review from here.
Original plan was to make spoiler free review last week. It would have required me do shoot and edit during night and get very little sleep. Spoiler review makes more sense in long run. That is why spoiler review.
I know another camera looses focus few times. I don't know why it does that. There isn't anything interesting besides my head in shot. Next time I will use smaller aperture.
I saw interesting comic about making art. Guy says he wants to make art but doesn't know how to start. Other guy gives him pen and paper and makes the first guy to sit in front of paper with pen in his hand. Stephen King has said in interview amateurs wait for inspiration, professionals start writing. Or something like that. Those are best advises how to make art. I have applied Stephen King's wisdom since I read about it somewhere. I am not 100% if Stephen King has said that. It is good advise anyway.
You don't have to have inspiration. Just start doing something and see where it takes you. Most of my artistic work has started that way. In the way you find inspiration and more you do better you get. I almost got lazy today. I planned to make music but using old music for next video felt good idea when I got back from work. Original plan was to make music on Sunday like I usually do. I didn't have video then because I was lazy on Saturday.
I just opened Ableton Live. I had idea what I wanted to do. I wanted to have some sort of orchestral music because Star Wars have that kind of music and Spitfire Audio updated Albion One few days ago. I have used Albion One too little when considering how good and expensive it is. I want to change that. If for no other reason to give excuse to buy Albion 5 later.
I am no John Williams but I got something good enough to publish. Something better than my most used music. It was just that I started to do something and I will be better next time because I did new music for new video. The video will be bit longer and music might not carry the video. It doesn't have to carry it. It is there behind talking. It is good enough there.
Next week's video need something which can carry the video. It will be another Black Christmas video showing what Christmas lights look like when there are no people or snow. I still expect there will be no snow. It would be positive surprise if there was.
If I ever do "special edition" or "Director's cut" of my videos this will be it. I like the footage but I would cut this shorter. It is not bad video but I like to do it better. I might do that when I don't have footage for next video and I don't know what video to make. Zombiewalk Helsinki is annual event. I could always do better video of future events. I have several options for thumbnail. Picture below was the first one but I didn't use. I love her face but right side didn't work as well. One I used didn't have that problem.
It started to snow on Thursday night. That is why I mentioned last post was written on Thursday. The snow was gone by Friday night. It was bit pointless to have the mention because nothing really changed. It is bit risky to talk about lack of snow at this time of the year because it can start snowing at any time and the snow could stay for longer time.
There was nothing interesting to shoot during weekend. Nothing that I wouldn't be shooting during Christmas. I expect to be able to shoot another Black Christmas video. This week's video will be The Last Jedi review. I didn't want to have dull and bleak video for it. And I didn't want to have same kind of video I will be publishing next week.
I knew I wouldn't have anything interesting to shoot at this time. Plan was to have 3d animation videos but it didn't work. Blender's next version has fast enough rendered to make that possible. How ever beta versions didn't work well enough to use them in videos. I haven't checked latest versions. I haven't opened Blender in few weeks.
So it was time to do another talking head video. I tried to get away from those. But it seems I don't have time or energy to do videos I want to do. Synth videos are easy to make and they seem to get most views. I will be making those more than I originally planned. Same will probably happen to talking head videos until winter is over.
This post was written 14.12.2017. Same day photos were shot.
Without Climate change we would have snow by now. We have had snow couple days but no more that two days at the time. I don't want snow that much but if it is going to be cold it could have snow too. This is winter in Finland. So there were almost nobody around. If you have followed me on Instagram you have seen these places couple times before.
Title is a joke. This is not in space. I named video like this because of "space sounds". First two Lifeforms videos seems to get likes and views. So here is third one.
I am using eurorack modular with only Pittsburgh Modular Lifeforms modules. That is why name Lifeforms in title.
