I still have a lot of hearts and sparkles about the WisCon vid party

AND I have a pretty fast new computer.

(At this point the logical part of me says "What, you need a new hobby?" and the less logical part of me says "Shut up!")

(I am well-off enough that I'm not going to pirate software but also not so well-off that I'm willing to spend even enough money for Microsoft Office, so this does depend on how far I can get with free/cheap software.)

But seriously, Faye Valentine/any Shiina Ringo song would be pretty amazing, right? (What are the logistics of foreign language songs in vids, anyway? Subtitle both the original language and the translation?)

Also I should listen to more new music because no one cares about Shiina Ringo like I care about Shiina Ringo.

Do you use Mac? I have an old version of the Adobe suite I've been meaning to do something with...

Also, I definitely did subtitles as an .srt file (I can tell you my process if you're interested, as I am a little obsessed about it after subtitling a ton of vids for the party). I personally put the Chinese and Swedish lyrics in the subtitles with the English translation right under, kind of how anime fansubbers will do the opening credit songs. I was debating doing one that was the Chinese characters + pinyin but I was too lazy. And I wasn't sure if anyone but me would care.

I personally love having the subtitles because I almost always miss a ton of the lyrics, and because I'm really used to having everything subtitled from Taiwan. Also, karaoke!

Also Faye Valentine!!
