(the title is attention-grabby and awful on purpose)

here’s an animation I did for my Woman’s Images and Realities class. kind of basic both information-wise and animation-wise but maybe helpful things to know for some. enjoy.

animation and music by me

[arainestorm]

new animation thing that I did for my "thesis" music and art by me (Raine Pultz) "My animation work uses a visual relationship with time to capture a sense of life and spontaneity that contrasts with its digital origins. Utilizing a series of ever-shifting shapes and colors, I challenge the notions that say virtual tools cannot be used to create art with a living essence. Each frame of my short videos is created individually, chronologically, and often without following any kind of script or storyboards. This results in a stream-of-consciousness creative process, which in turn gives my animations an unpredictability that is mirrors the experience of watching nature. When paired with the dissonant chiptunes I compose specifically for each clip, the final results are a strange and fascinating blend of “real” and “artificial”."

What Can I Do For You (Steven Universe Chiptune Cover) by asundayraine

This is a cover of the wonderful song from the Steven Universe episode "We Need To Talk". I made the cover with ORG Maker, and synced it to the video very quickly with Windows Movie Maker.

Unfortunately, capturing the feel of the solo at the end seemed nearly impossible, so....... I do apologize if anyone was looking forward to that. I hope you enjoy the rest of the song regardless! It was a lot of fun for me. You can download this song and check out more music by me at my SoundCloud:

'What Can I Do For You' is credited to Rebecca Sugar, Jeff Liu, and Ben Levin. Listen to the original song on SoundCloud! https://soundcloud.com/aivisura/steven-universe-what-can-i-do-for-you-rebecca-sugar-jeff-liu-ben-levin

Another little chippy song I made today in a few hours. Yay!

[arainestorm]

Third version of interlude. Similar to version two but not quite. Different lead (farewell chiptunes :'( ), slower, way less drum overload. Some more melodic variety. !

While this is the closest to what will appear on the album, Manny ended up doing a lot of weird crazy sub bass and crowd-noise sampling shit and it sounds almost nothing like this now. Dude knows what he wants though and it IS pretty rad, just in a different way. (I’d share it but it’s not public yet).

Second iteration of the interlude track. And everything changed. New program that I never used before, new song structure, new mood. Still gravitated towards the chiptune type sound of course. I might have ABSOLUTELY gone overboard with the drums but I had fun at least. Still pretty different from what will end up on the album.

(the main melodic parts of all three of these tracks is based on a single arpeggio in the fourth part of the five part, 12 minute final track of the album. fun facts!) 

[arainestorm]

First iteration of an interlude track I worked on for the album that my band is making. Made in ORG Maker. Very different from what I ended up giving my main man, although my pool of influences is the same.

Sun Takes Control

I opened up PaintTool Sai, made 337 sequential pictures, stringed them together in flash real quick, and put it to Nine Inch Nails. I think it looks neat, even though I’m not sure what any of it means.

edit: converting it to avi and then uploading it to tumblr really took ice cream scoops out of the quality but I almost like it more that way

[arainestorm]

so that thing that I didn't know whether it would be a printmaking thing or not? it will be.
