I seem to be on a roll. Posting a lot, possibly because it's a three day weekend with not much to do at all. I'm actually writing a big thing on No More Heroes, and plotting other things I wish to write about, like the Videodrome post I did a week or two ago. The one thing most of them will have in common is how trashy they are, yes.

This post isn't much, though. I realized I still had all the music on my computer from when I made Black Hole Ghost, and a few of the tracks aren't half bad, so I decided to throw them onto Youtube for no real reason other than to give myself something to do. Here you go:

I think I talked about it before, but all the music for BHG was done with GarageBand and a USB keyboard that I really didn't know how to play. My understanding and knowledge of writing music starts and ends with the bass guitar, so I was just learning as I went, but hey, I think I did okay. Over a year after making it, though, I kind of find the thing itself unwatchable. There are just so many things I could've done better, especially in the editing and the compositions of a lot of shots.

I find myself occasionally thinking about expanding upon the story. Or re-telling it as a comic. Trying a new approach. Not necessarily pulling a George Lucas, no, but...I don't know. I just feel like the concept, the character, the story...it demands something bigger and better than my amateur attempt at a live action stop-motion silent film, yes?

That said, the fact I even accomplished what I did, writing, storyboarding, shooting, editing, composing, all of it that I barely had even a basic grasp of, is still something I'm quite proud of, even though I'll probably never watch it again any time soon.
