LYRICS

Waiting for the time to come, to behold a new era 
and I blink into the sun as if to see my own reflection 

In the light I burn for the night to bring me home again! 
As my time is fading faster and faster 
The truth is my disaster. 
Truth, a true disaster! 

And I see the end of worlds! Dripping with noon’s mastication 
And as the fear descends below, seeking nothing but deception
Without a recollection! 

In the light, I burn for the night to bring me home again! 
As my time is fading faster and faster! 
The truth is my disaster. 
Truth, a true disaster! 

And so, it burns! It turns. It molds our hopes and our dreams to the shapes of our nightmares. 

Marching to the edge unknown, pressed upon this new vocation
And in the darkness, we’re well known 
That our gleaming eyes will take them 
Surely will enslave them! 

Fighting our way to the light!

My mom asked for burnt copes of theBASTARDS EP,but didn’t want me to use the original group name so she could pass it out to her friends. I love my Mom.

Canyon’s getting damn good at photography.  I love that I’ve been able to help him here and there.  He did great helping us do the BASTARDS photos this afternoon.

Go show him some love and follow him.

• What does CORE EDIT mean and why is it the only thing not all sliced up in your timeline?

To conserve CPU (also, sanity), I do my edits in sections.  For the first BASTARDS video, I started by animating the landscape of outer space.  When the colors and motion were just about right, I exported the clip as a whole and called the clip CORE.mpeg

Think about it as if you’re painting a brown wall white.  The core footage is, in essence, my wall’s primer.  I started a new sequence and imported the core footage, syncing it up in the new project’s Timeline.  The second layer of video was for Asteroids, Orbiting Moons, Rockets, and additional Green Screen Footage.  Covering up the primer that’s covering up the brown base.

Once that’s done, I export it again and repeat the process until finished.  This method is especially handy when you’re working with multiple video tracks.  If I did this all in one take, I’d have well over 100 layers of footage in the first twenty seconds (and it’s nowhere near completion at 100).  You just have to be confident in your edits and make sure you’re happy with layers before you export them.
