Hey we might even get better at this... what? it could happen!
Other than the rant at the beginning of the first part of the second segment its actually REALLY interesting.... at times a little distracting and totally spinning off , then suddenly purely aiming at some goal....
lots of words....
Artsy Fartsy.....
And a good job.....
would love to see you do another....
that video editing was perfect and the narrating astonishing. MOAR! we ain't worthy, we ain't worthy.
I think I was a modernist, sigh... That time unofortunatly has passed.
But I do have one thing to say besides well done, DEAD LEAVES!
Another?
Thank you so much for the feedback! Should anyone now or later notice, the video makes the fatal mistake of referring to Wipeout 2097 as Wipeout 2079! And though I might blame it on sleep deprivation, I want to assure everyone the editors have been executed and I sincerely apologize!
Yeah, figured that little mistake out, immediately knew it was another diabolical plan by the Spanish inquisition. Now that they have been executed I can finally rest in peace. I honestly didn't know which was the error until it was later spoken in the video.
Very well done, and kudos for the Dead Leaves reference :)
MagicAQ - Thankyou! I'm devoted to the idea of the subject dictating the way it flows in the future, but I still have a lot of thinking ahead of me.
SanityMask - Not only were they executed, but they were beaten up pretty badly too! And then ground into a fine dust!
Robotfart - I never miss a chance to plus Dead Leaves:)
And I don't even get an honorary mention :) haha
Butterflies! This is me begging forgiveness! See how upside down I am this week!! I need sleep, but I can't seem to stop editing!!
I accept your apology, but don't let it happen again!
And maybe you should think about getting some sleep?
Pilots really are learning experiences! wipeoutzone.com has pointed out 2 errors that appear in the narration.
- The Designers Republic have not been involved with WipEout since WipEout 3 - the graphic design is now done in-house at Studio Liverpool.
- WipEout HD is the PLAYSTATION Network downloadable title due later this year, while the full blown PS3 WipEout title is not due out for some time yet.
Wipeoutzone.com is also an excellent source for your wipeout fix and I highly recommend you pay them a visit
First, I think that the video was brilliant. Very poetic writing, and a convincing voiceover. The quality of the editing really showed.
In response to the subject matter of the video itself, I enjoyed your analysis of Wipeout... it definitely fits the framework you build in the movie. However, one part just does not sit well with me, and it's the way that you paint modernism vs. a new kind of anti-corporate dialogue. Those are not mutually exclusive things in my view: anti-establishmentism came as a response to modernism, but it's both firmly rooted in post-modern beliefs (that no one person or corporation has a right to telling the world's story themselves) AND modernism itself (that some day we will get over our barbarism to a better society). Anti-establishmentism itself seeks out to paint a single view of the world: that corporations are evil, that people are oppressed, etc. The "futurism" (as you say) that we saw in the 80's and 90's also existed in the early 1900's as an art movement, but of a different philosophical kind: futurism was an art form that rebelled against the institutions (both artistic and political) of the past. Futurism *was* a form of modernism, even though the people who practiced it didn't know that yet.
And that's where I'm left with your video. I firmly believe that if we re-assume that old futurist philosophy (that 'bad', 'old' ideas need to be rebelled against), we'll be stuck in the same old modernism again. That is why I'm so hesitant to give the boot to mainstream, big-budget, games - they are a physical manifestation of the kind of culture we are (or were), and destroying a social practice alienates us from our very own culture. We are modernists, whether we like it or not, I think.
Anyway, that's too much babble - definitely keep up the videos, I'm enjoying them.
