I ran away Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 should i try to draw a buckin pic? Naaaaaah. Let's stay on topic in the video... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 About the stars and other artwork, don't worry too much about having every line covered. I also intend to put in various different actual video footages (I really mean different things - but probably focusing more on abstract things, light, stars, reflections...hard to describe without seeing it) to keep up the rhythm and flow of the video, cause I think the video might get boring if it only consists of non-moving images. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 So I finally I was able to get off work at a halfway decent time today (7 pm)...spent more than an hour searching for a room in which I could record. In the end I snuck into our music department with the help of someone with an access card :D and just spent 3 hours doing various takes of I Ran Away. Unfortunately my worst fears are confirmed, I really am awful at singing....but I'm gonna cut this into a reference track now, hopefully it will be up either tomorrow or the day after ! I promise ! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adversary Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 @I ran away If you could put a message at the end of the video asking management where the hell the Irish dates are for the tour that would be great, thanks lol :laugh3: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Got to get that message home ! :D (But in all seriousness, you are joking, right ? Cause I am sure that these dates will come at the latest in 2017, and I wanted to keep the project focused on one goal only to make it more likely to succeed :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 I have sent out the reference track now to the 13 people involved in the project. Please listen to it and let me know what you think about it (other than that my voice and my singing are terrible :D) If you haven't received the track and you feel you should have, tell me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Some guidelines for recording your part: - If you have the opportunity to record in a lossless format like wav or flac, go for it. - If posible, record in a small room with as little as possible surrounding noise. - Make sure the instrumental/original song you sing along to is not heard in the recording. There has been a slight change in the final chorus. This is the new version: We love this song so much, see stars arise in our cage That's why we'd love for you to play I Ran Away live on stage You have our love on call and yet on this our hearts all dwell So please Chris Jonny Guy and Phil Tell us "One Two Three ... Will" EDIT: - Your individual part and the chorus part may be in different files or together, either way works. - If you have been assigned a part of the initial "One, two, three, Will", please record the entire phrase. If you only record a single word, the intonation is more likely to be off. Trust me, it's not easy to get it right. So please record the whole phrase and I will cut it myself.

flockofbirds222 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Here's another drawing I made, referring to the "just a single star"-line. I also tried making a gif, i'm not sure if it turned out so great... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be my browser though. Thanks for the beautiful images ! You are a very talented artist ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful, I don't see 1 of it moving either (there are 3 jpg files) but it looks awesome when I click fast on the arrow to browse between them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flockofbirds222 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Thank you all! I'll guess I'll upload the gif with a link later so it'll work properly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nie Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I have counted the votes from the jury and the winner for my little art project is Albertus Medium. So I will make "1 2 3 Will" in that font. And I might make an extra with the mix of Albertus for the numbers and Baskerville for "Will". I Ran Away can decide which one (and if) she wants to use in the video. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nie Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 So I will make "1 2 3 Will" in that font. @I ran away Question: how do you want the different numbers? In a square like I have made the examples? Or just the width of the number itself? Any extra border / space around it (Will too)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 I think the squares borderless are great ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 I am currently reviewing the vocal submissions I have gotten so far and trying to get an overview over which parts are covered now and which aren't (which, unfortunately, in the very busy last two weeks I lost track of...) Please bear with me; I just don't have that much time at the moment to work on the project but I am moving steadily forward. I had one question, is anyone here skilled at audio editing ? When I fused the I Ran Away instrumental with the original track towards the end of the song for the reference track, I didn't manage to make the fusion smooth - there is an audible transition at 03:08 in the reference track. I wondered if somebody could fix that if I give you the files ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that after some delay on my part I am currently mixing the track ! If you have not yet sent your vocals submission, then please do so at the soonest opportunity. Thanks ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftrightleftArchi Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Just to let you know, I discovered that the chorus vocals in the reference track are a bit rushed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Just to let you know, I discovered that the chorus vocals in the reference track are a bit rushed. Can you explain what exactly you mean so that I can look into it ? (Do you by any chance mean the line "That's why we'd love for you to play I Ran Away live on stage" ? I know that that line is really crammed but most recordings that I got did a fairly good job on that line despite the quick pace of words.)
