Deluded Apart


So, my fourth movie and at the same time the most complex one. First before starting the whole project, I had a completely different idea in my mind.
The movie was suposed to be a normal frag movie without anything "special". Once again I listened to this one certain song and gosh, it hit me.
Why not make a movie that is so tightly packed with action that it never loses the value of replay? A movie that is so fast that even after the
tenth time you watch it, there's something new you would notice. A movie that has zero effects but has an almost perfect flow with the music and picture.

Nowadays, in my opinion, people focus too much on the effects. Still, for some reason, I enjoy watching the old classics that had (in nowadays standards)
noobish editing but managed to pull this incredible feeling. Back then the focus in editing was to fit the pictures with the music since nobody
knew how to make effects. There were no Andrew Kramer telling everone how easy it is to use After Effects (of course there's exceptions). I know how 
to make effects. I could pump my movie full of bright and shiny shit but I don't do that. I want people to watch my movies for the editing I do, not
for the effects I generate.

Once again the movie is dark as hell and you don't understand the frags at all. It's dark because I like it. The music with the darkness gives it a great
feeling in my opinion. The frags are nothing special due to the fact that I just couldn't be arsed to spend much time in finding frags since all I wanted
to do is edit. I think the frags are cool though. They are not the typical lucky strikes, but some skilled stuff. The main point of the movie isn't frags
even so just ignore them. Try to focus on the synchronisation and the flow. This will be the fastest 3 minutes of your life if you get into it right away.

The song I found for this movie is just amazing. I couldn't have hoped for a better one. It was a real challenge to edit with this song :D. I didn't use
all the possible synch points there were but I think it's better that way. Would have been one crazy three minutes if I had :D. During this project I 
enjoyed editing once again. Making those 13 minute tricking movies really drained my excitement towards editing. There was this invisible deadline always
hanging around the back of my skull, which caused stress. ALOT of it. Deluded Apart freed me from anykind of stress while editing. No one sent me tricks
or frags and because of that I was able to work on my on pace. I'm liking editing once again :).

The movie is kinda short. I wanted to make a much shorter project this time, since I've only been doing these long and frustrating movies. 3 minutes isn't
much but it contains as much action as a 6 or 7 minute movie (if we count how a normal movie has a 1,5 minute intro and a 1 minute outro). There's no intro
and no outro so it's only frags frags frags.

One thing I noticed while making this fragging experience of mine, is that you really need a good sound system for it. I just recently bought a new sound
card and I immediately noticed sounds in the music that I had never heard before. So if you have difficulties understanding why I'm cutting at some points,
it's because your sound card or sound system can't produce that certain sound. This sounds really weird but that's what I experienced. Also the track may
sound like poor quality to some people but it's not. It's how it's supposed to be.

I've been jabbering here alot once again. Maybe while I'm at it, I should tell you guys (who are really reading this far of the readme) that I'm thinking
about making more of movies like this. Short and intesively edited. Maybe this time I would use _real_ frags and by real I mean GOOD frags :D. In this movie
the frags are there just to get my editing going but with editing somewhat like this and frags that blow your mind, I see some potential there. But hey 
that's me. Editing like this isn't the best to show frags clearly but I like to think while watching a movie as I've said before.

I'm thinking about keeping a short break from editing (nothing long though) and maybe play some Dungeon Keeper :D. God I loved that game back then when it
came out. But if you have some amazing frag and you have nowhere to put them, come and slap me with them at #anodynepictures @ quakenet. And if you want
to talk about Dungeon Keeper with me, join the channel aswel. I have to warn you though, meep, my fellow editor, can be fisty!

How I did it?

Same way as mellow darkness. Capture -> vdub -> vegas -> AE -> vegas -> done.
