2-3 years later? I'm still loving this song and the woman has an angel's voice! :D

[BillyBughead]

I agree, it's the voice that does it. Thanks for watching! :-)

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

Exactly! You;re very welcome. I friggin love when Jody holds a high note. Siren much? No siren cant cover it. Haha. Dude if you could find "Mirror" I will like...freak. >xD Haha.

[Bluessoulphoenix]

i love jodie rivera but this song is also just as awesome and just adds to it! :)

[BillyBughead]

Thanks...she has an incredible voice, and I think she wrote the lyrics, too. One of my favorite videos that I made...

[majliena2]

good video on 3:44

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

This song is AMAZING! Jodie has one of the 4 most hypnotic voices I've EVER heard. To top it off...she's drop dead beautiful. :D And she can rock the blonde locks. But she looks best with the black hair. haha. :) venetianprincess rocks. :D She gave me an autograph online one time for my birthday!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D haha. :)

[BillyBughead]

Yep, it's the song that makes this vid. Her talent is up there with the best, and from the Stickam sessions she's done she seems to be genuine and a real nice person. Thanks for watching my vid! :-)

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

I heard it on Jodie's myspace one time and fell in love with her vocals and musical talent and I knew SOMEONE made a video with it so I found your video. :D How did you put the song in the video?

[BillyBughead]

Well, I don't recall that she had a download of it, and my sound card seems incapable of doing captures, so I got the song the old-fashioned way: By putting my mic up to the speaker. Luckily the musical style is "grungy" enough that the loss of quality didn't detract from the music, and of course Jody's vocals still shine through. Then I just tossed it into Windows Movie Maker. If I had it to do over, I would have first processed it a bit in WavePad (a free download), but I was kinda new.

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

Really!? Wow. The quality is amazing for a microphone-to-speaker. Her voice is AMAZING on the song Mirror. I still think it should've been a vocal/instrumental piece with a lot of chanting to showcase J's vocal skills. Her voice is beautiful, powerful and my favorite: versatile. Plus she's REALLY kind. Hell she autographed a pic for me for my birthday in '06 and commented my myspace with it! :D :D :D Best birthday present EVER. Haha.

[BillyBughead]

considering how many emails she probably gets, that was really nice of her

[xxxthoughtlessxxx]

It SO was! Imagine the look on my face when my favorite vocalist/musician sends me an online autograph of her promo picture. Oh GOD I wanted to scream but I couldnt. Haha. :)

[xkoolkat86x]

oh, that probably explains why its so good...

[BillyBughead]

NO IT"S GOOD BECAUSE *I* MADE IT DAMN YOU DAMN YOU!!! lol just kiddin'...yeah it's a great program...

[BillyBughead]

And really it's the song, VP is great...no really, turn the speakers down and watch it and you'll see what I mean...

[xkoolkat86x]

did oyu use The Movies or did you use Sims 2?

[BillyBughead]

The Movies...

[xkoolkat86x]

i know i love that part!!

do you know the boolprop cheat?

(probaby, ur WAY better than me)

[BillyBughead]

Thanks...hmmm, boolprop, I think that's for Sims2 not The Movies...I don't know...I just used the sandbox mode on The Movies and built up a big lot for most of my The Movies stuff...

[cooberproductions]

yeah cuz i can tell by the details ( i am use custion stuff and mods on my games, i dont know if you do) but i know it takes along

[BillyBughead]

cool thing is that this is from a game specialy designed for making movies, you can set up the actors and a script and just shoot it. It's called (what else?) "The Movies". Even so, it took a while to sift through all the scenes I could shoot and pick the ones that went best with the song and concept.

[cooberproductions]

did tht take a lng time?

[BillyBughead]

hmmm, maybe took longer to conceptualize what I wanted to put into it than the actual production.  I forget how long it took, maybe six hours or so?

[emilyrose16l]

wow that woz wicked! ahh the movies! i've got that but didnt know you could make your own movies..cool!

[BillyBughead]

yep, there's an option to save 'em when you're in post production or something like that...been a while since I've fiddled with it, working on other things...glad you liked my vid, thanks :-)

[feisalkid123]

hey, what software did u use,.. thank u so much, and i really really enjoyed the film it was great, next time make it long :D. bye.

write back

[BillyBughead]

Glad you liked it, thanks. I kept it short, because it was a video for Venitian Princess's song, so that's what determined the length.

The software is a game called "The Movies", that lets you set up storyboards to make your own video clips. Retails for oh, maybe 30 bucks, give or take ten.

And funny, you're the first person to ever tell me to make stuff longer, usually I get told the opposite...

[feisalkid123]

lol serious hahaha im the odd one out than seen

thnx for the info though i reall liked the video

once again its so so so gangster.

[TweetieLover]

Wow you did a really good job that was sad though

[BillyBughead]

Thanks...it's a sad song, VP deserves the creidt for the song...

[gsturge]

Nice job, Billy!

[BillyBughead]

Thanks...your ABBA vid is one of the reasons I got into The Movies...

[21stCenturyCat]

very impressive :)

[wavy0nd0curly]

what did you make this video on what game?

[BillyBughead]

It's called "The Movies". If you get a big enough studio or run it in sandbox mode, you can script your own movies.

[VenetianPrincess]

WOW it was great just as I expected! AMAZING!!!

[BillyBughead]

thanks...I'm glad you asked for vids for this song...it was fun to do, and a great song...

[vpreality]

i am so excited to watch this, thank you so much. I am at work and cant see it on here, but I am going to run straight to the computer when I get home to see. I'm sure its amazing! :)

VP

[BillyBughead]

Wow, thanks...glad you like it...it was my pleasure, I really like your song...

[TheLeonShow]

WOW !!

[BillyBughead]

Glad everybody seems to have liked it so far...

[DoloresD]

hey cool Billy :D

[BillyBughead]

thanks...it's a cool song...don't worry worry I still love YOUR songs too ;-)

[xgobobeanx]

wow- what a very moving video :( so sad...

[BillyBughead]

Thanks...yeah, the ending got me, and I wrote it lol

But really, it's the song that does it...

[BillyBughead]

Before anybody comments, I just wanna say I can only take credit for the video. It was VP who wrote the SONG, and that's what makes this vid work, and I got the ideas for it from listening to the song...
