The Official HA Opening Sequence!

[Enji_Chou]

So it's come to this. After years and years of loyal and dedicated time spent in each others company, various people have matured into those with the skills to make this happen, but it must be a joint effort, as are all things involved with this guild and role play we love so much.

What am I talking about?

Heartfelt Adventures Official Opening sequence!




After years of training and waiting our resident artistic community in this guild feel confidant enough to create a real opening musical sequence for our most beloved and notorious role-play, christening our nearly 5-6 years of storytelling.

The format we shall be using is known as animatic, a form of animation using only keys (no tweening) or moving stills for setting establishing shots taking the duration of time required for the animation. Animators call these sequences "break downs"- but if refined and put to music they can be motion pieces within themselves as well.
So a combinationfo this form here Animatic Breakdown

With something like this for effects and music. Still Music Video

We are open for artist sign up for those who feel confidant to participate at this level with us and make our dream a reality. The more help the merrier! It's a test but also a fun thing for us to do. Plus for those artists it's something you cna put in your portfolios if it turns out well enough.

But the quest does not just entail this- one fo the most important driving elements or any opening sequence is of course-

THE MUSIC!

We need the RIGHT song!
Something that encompasses everything that is our story of Heartfelt Adventure thus far! Something to inspire us! Something to get the blood pumping or entrance us into making the best quality fo work you'd liek to see.
So lets here it people!

Thin hard- what song do you think feels like a piece that could hold the weight and essence of Heartfelt adventure!
Place your posts and suggestions here, we shall be looking over all of them! Feel free to send in multiples ones, varying in themes or moods, anything and everything is helpful for us to find that perfect song!

Once the song is chosen the work for the story board and break down can begin based on the timing and mood of the piece, so it's not joke, this selection will be important!

Thank you for your time in reading this. And good luck to us all!

I know right away when I get into HA posting mood, I play THIS one.
With plenty of pauses and beats for slow, dramatic or action scenes I think it offers diversity to work with.

Cosmic Love

Lyrics:
A falling star fell from you heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore though them and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped and I was in the darkness
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart.

I figured I would put a few songs from my playlist that I think might work for an opening sequence. I at least want to try and help with this since I am not sure I can be as much help otherwise since I don't have the skills yet.

Option 1:
Zedd - Clarity (W&W) Remix
I think this mix in particular could work just because I really like the buildup and it has some action in the middle. I really think the lyrics can relate to us in a way considering we are taken into tragedy and insanity to have remedy and clarity.

Option 2:
Mind Vortex - Alive

This one is pretty cool in my opinion because it in a way relates to all of us being alive. This one just sounds epic and can show all of us fighting the heartless in the beginning and relying on each other.

Option 3:
Stephen Swartz - Bullet Train

This one is another option considering that we all in the story never stop moving from world to world or when we go from earth to this new universe. This one has some nice beats that I could pick up an audience. I also like that this one is about 4 minutes long in comparison to the others before which are around 2-3 minutes:

Like a, like a, like a bullet train

Moving like the speed of sound
Feet can't keep on the ground
Can't stay in one place
Keep moving like a bullet train
Like a bullet train

(Repeat)

like, like, like a bullet train
like, like, like a bullet train

'Cause I can't stop time
You keep blurring in my mind
And space is undefined
These tracks left behind
We can't stay the same
Can't stop this train
I can't find the breaks
On this bullet train

'Cause I can't stop

Option 4:
Muzzy - Pegasis ft. Roniit

This one probably has the most changes in tempo and style(hey it is 6 minutes). Although what this one in particular has is a lot of voice harmonies which put together to me reminds me of the water sequence in some of the opening sequences in Kingdom Hearts.

Option 5:
deadmau5 & Kaskade - I Remember
This one is about 10 minutes but I decided to throw this one in there as kinda a backup idea. It is long but I kinda like the vibe of it and the idea of all of us remembering the past of what happened back on earth. You can be the judge.

Feeling the past moving in
Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go

Add to the memory you keep
Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go

Remember turning on the night
And moving through the morning light
Remember how it was with you
Remember how you pulled me through

I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember

Feeling the past moving in
Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go

Add to the memory you keep
Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go

Remember how it was with you
Remember how it was with you

I remember

Feeling the past moving in
Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go

Add to the memory you keep
Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go

Remember turning on the night
And moving through the morning light
Remember how it was with you
Remember how you pulled me through

I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember

One thing I should mention is that for some of these songs I wasn't able to get lyrics for them(since these fricken songs are so underground) but they all have lyrics. You can be the judge if you like em or not.
