New Site Live

So here it is – the new KestrelSempai Music Video website.

Things that have changed:

  • now in WordPress instead of flat HTML
  • easier to update so I will do it more often
  • searchable
  • tagged
  • recent (as in since 2009) music videos are available as iPOD, iPhone, and Quicktime files
  • “the art & science” posts which will contain snippets from my mvs as WIP (works in progress) or to illustrate different aspects of editing or whatever else I want to write about that isn’t News or a new music video
  • posts about and links to other mv creators who’s work I admire
  • SCREEN GRAB GALLERIES (I’m really excited about that one)

Things that will remain the same:

TAGS are musical artist/composers/bands and song titles. Video source footage are CATEGORIES. The number indicates how many music videos have been made to that anime/TV show/movie.

The “>” after a word means that is an external link, and by clicking on it you will leave this site. It will still be waiting for you if you click your browser BACK button.

If possible, I link to Amazon using my Amazon Associates account so if you buy something, I get a few cents. You don’t pay any more for your item, and you help me pay for this website, so it’s a win-win situation.

Comments of any kind always read and, unless spammy, will appear on the site.

I’m intermittently working on creating iPOD, iPhone, and QT versions of the old mvs, so you won’t have to deal with the RealPlayer files any more. Obviously, that’s less exciting than creating a new music video. Therefore, if there is an mv you’d really like to have in a different format, please contact me and I’ll move it to the top of the list. Thanks!

Happy 2010!

Woolsey of la Mancha

Man of la Mancha

Man of la Mancha

I bought Robert Picardo’s two CDs when I saw him at the Creation Vancouver SG-1/ SGA convention and both surprised and pleased to hear “Man of la Mancha” on the Extreme Bob CD (listed as Opera2). That has been one of my favorite musicals since seeing it featured in a Quantum Leap ep. Continue reading

Rush Away – Take 1

You Can't Look Away

You Can't Look Away

Dr. Rush has turned out to be my favorite character on Stargate Universe. He’s not the brilliant somewhat socially awkward scientist you usually see on TV.

Requiem – Air 1

Requiem for a Tower

I *really* like the third Stargate incarnation of Stargate Universe.  I was not especially fond of the trailers, so I decided to make my own after I heard Requiem for a Tower*.

You Won’t See Him Coming

You Won't See Me Coming

You Won't See Me Coming

Everyone has seen music videos of the primary cast of Stargate Atlantis. Here is my offering for Michael, using J J Burnel’s song I heard as an opening in an anime.
