Q: have you written any other music since you started working on the video or have the past 5 months been solely devoted to this project
A: i wrote song, recorded it, finished it to the final mix. done. then started a video for it, but for some reason, there was a little voice in my head that told me to instead of using the 3D program for just little bits of the video, how about using it for the entire thing. well, for those of you who don't know, 3D video usually takes 100,000 years longer than anyone would ever imagine. but another interesting thing about 3D, is that it seems like the whole universe has just opened up. in ways that i have only dreamed about. vast new world. resonating strongly with filmmaking desires i've probably had since childhood but never admitted it, because 3D graphics has never really been anything that 1 person alone could really delve into, perhaps until this generation. so i'd say it was about 2 solid months down the rabbit hole of working on that music video, which really was turning out to the most exciting thing i had ever worked on. then it began to occur to me that now is a better time than ever to upgrade to a much newer system, because the reason i had waited was because my previous full time video software was long ago discontinued, and literally only worked on old computers. so i've been stuck on an old computer system for many years. given that i found myself now working on different software (the 3D one) which is not discontinued, it began to occur to me that the big shift is imminent. then a series of events unfolded that suddenly plunged me into the shift. and in the process, a thousand more doors and windows have begun to open. the possibilities are wildly beyond my greatest imagination. an interesting twist is, my entire old method no longer works on this new system (at least for video. for music everything's pretty much still intact, with all the benefit of the new system.) the old video system is still available on an ancient computer in the corner, but let's face it, the new possibilities wipe the old system off the map
