Final Assignment: PMV


"PMV" stands for "Picture Music Video". What it is is exactly what the name says: a series of hand drawn pictures that correspond with a song. It's kind of like a slideshow, but more relevant to the music and actually telling a story.

The song I used is a translated song by a singer on Youtube: I Like You, I Love You by Rockleetist. She has a variety of songs in her YouTube Channel and she allows people to use them as long as we give her credit. The characters I used in this PMV are not mine, but are from my favorite show, Soul Eater. I refer to myself as Digitalscratch in the video because that is the name I use around the internet and I intend on showing this to my friends. 

The songs was originally about 4 minutes long, and while I intended to reach that time, I was unable to due to only two days given to work on the project, and the fact my hand started to hurt. Thus I had to chop the song in order to make it shorter, and I had to rush in coloring and drawing the last few pictures. Originally there was a story to this PMV, but because I was in a rush I couldn't include the scenes that I originally planned so a lot of things seem random. Honestly, if I knew it was going to be this much of a hassle I would have asked about the final a week ago so I can get started then. 

I also ended up pulling a literal all-nighter to get this video done. As I am typing this, I have went this far for more than 24 hours without sleeping. Good training for future careers. 

Even though I know I could have done better, I am still proud that I was able to make this- with the song the only thing not owned by me. I see this as a great step toward making more of these. I at least now know how to mange my time with these kind of projects.

I used a line and an arc for the wings, so I could not figure out how to only color the wings. :(

Assignment #6

Part 1


I did a remake for a website called "My Life is Bro." This is a site where teenagers and immature young adults who think they're really "chill" and have lots of "swag" go and post something they think is "totally bro."

Their posts mostly consist of sex, drugs, and whatever they think is cool and "bro-appropriate." For this assignment, I changed the posts so that they would have been posts from rich, classy, higher-class citizens. I used good grammar, using themes such as wine, health, money, golf, etc., and also changed the ad so that they would be targeted for higher-class young adults.

Part 2

American Independence Day on the fourth of July is the most significant holiday of the summer. This is the time where people of all ages from every state celebrate the historical day when Americans won their independence. Every year, depending on their location and age groups, people go to nearby lakes, beaches, stadiums, casinos, and other places to spend this celebratory day and watch the fireworks.

In Reno, Nevada, the students from the University of Reno go to Lake Tahoe to celebrate this day with friends. At Zephyr Cove, the beach is filled with raging students, even as early as 9 a.m. However, at this popular place, entering the beach with alcohol is prohibited. One may think it is a safety issue or to provide alcohol-free environment, but this is definitely not the case. They provide a restricted area called the "Beer Garden," and you can buy as many drinks as you want. As disheartening as this may be, their drinks are ridiculously overpriced, charging as much as $6 per cup of beer. The beach uses the holiday to sell alcohol and make money during the week of fourth of July, even though it's supposed to be the day to celebrate our freedom and independence. To make matters worse in the case of Lake Tahoe, if people bring coolers with alcoholic beverages, they are forced to walk back to their cars, which are often parked as far as 1-2 miles away. Every year, the students are forced to "car bar," the entire day, try to smuggle alcohol which often times fails, or pay highly overpriced drinks at the lake. Their sole purpose and intent for this is to take advantage of this day and make some extra money.

Unfortunately, Lake Tahoe is not the only place that prohibits alcohol to sell drinks of their own. Countless places around the nation, especially popular places, uses this opportunity to make some extra money, even if this is not something they do on a regular basis.

I feel that fourth of July should not be the day they change up their normal system to make money. I do have a business/marketing background, so I understand their strategy and their thought-process. However, I am also a very patriotic person, and I don't think this displays a very good American citizenship. If I was an entrepreneur, I would take this chance to provide something special to everyone, rather than take advantage of it.

I took this picture at the Victorian Square by the Nugget Casino, where thousands of people gather to watch the fireworks. I edited the photo so that one of the signs would say "Free Beer; Happy Independence Day, America!" I chose to do this intervention because I know that if I was a business owner, I would sponsor something special public on this special day, whether it be a discount for my selling items, an event (such as raffles, competition, etc. depending on my business and location), etc. This would be the prefect opportunity to set up a tent where I can sell finger foods, give out free stuff, and/or hold games/events for the public.

In order to get the background, you will have to save this picture and load it onto Processor.
And to get the font, go to "Tools", then "Create Font...", then find "Palatino-Italic". Set the size to 20, and then press "Okay"!
