Re: Fic + Vid "ShinsenCaterers"

I liked this... and I loved the image of Saitou infiltrating a fancy
ball in a caterer's uniform, not to mention the inevitable mayhem to ensue.

I do have a question about the Rokumeikan, though. Is that the setting
for the end of Lady Snowblood? The description sounds almost exact (two
levels, wealthy Japanese in western clothes, etc.).

Arigatou,
Chuck

Dear Chuck
YES! The Rokumeikan was in the last scenes of Lady Snowblood! (^_^)
It was scandalous on many levels to the people of the time...women
dancing with foreigners and so forth. The newspapers had a field day
after each event. The Rokumeikan was also a feature film directed by
KON ICHIKAWA and a play written by YUKIO MISHIMA.

I highly recommend fanfic writers to look into the
Rokumeikan---history provides some pretty interesting backdrops to
stories.

::sigh:: the best part of the vid didn't survive (near the end)---I
grabbed images of waltzing folks from google, produced silhouettes and
animated them in different layers at different rates---really looked
like they were dancing.

Oh well--just 2 hrs down the drain

I would never recommend Windows movie maker to anyone who wishes to
make a music vid.
