Running Up That Hill

Whee! My first machinima! I heard this song and immediately started working. Normally, Kate Bush kinda drives me insane. But Placebo did an amazing job with thier cover. Yes, I know there are some screw-ups (stupid AO!). But it can only get better from here. I want to thank Sabatino Orca for agreeing to be in the video...he was fabulous! And I especially want to thank Gemini Galeatea for being such a good sport for letting me use her partner. If you have never been there, go to Devil's Moon. This video was shot entirely in that sim, and it looks even cooler in person.
Lights, Camera, Action!

Ghosts 36

I am a NIN fan. Yes, I loves me some Trent and I have loved him and his work since I first saw "Head Like a Hole" way back in 1988. I remember thinking, "I don't know what in the hell I am looking at, but gee whiz, I like it!" In May, Mr. Reznor released Ghosts I-IV, an experimental-type album of all instrumental music. And he asked his fans to make a video for thier favorite song and post it in a YouTube group. It seems he would like to do a film festival with his favorite videos. Well, mine got copyrighted by NIN. I have no idea what that means...could mean anything. Maybe they did a blanket copyright of all 1000+ videos, or they just did it to the ones they liked. If it's the latter...WOOT! Anyhow, here is my entry. It is just a bunch of shots and a bit of footage I did while wandering around the Hawthorne District in my hometown of Portland, OR. I'm pleased with it, regardless if it's the work of an amature fan-girl. I will bet that you will have some questions about it, so I will answer them now: yes, those are my feet (guess which set is mine), and I have forgotten the name of that guy with the goatee, but he sold me a really cool patch that I sewed onto one of my bags. Oh, and that weird, amorphous jello-y looking thing? That's a really big soap bubble. Funny what you find on the street, isn't it?
Enjoy!
Great Big NINny,
Synn
