Yeah! We reached YAM! Yet Another Milestone. 400,000+ Views on the MVGEN Youtube channel featuring great music and videos from artists from around the world. We Tipple our Fedoras to you!
400000
We are stoked and so should you be – that means the videos you make and if you opt-in to send it to YouTube will get tons of views – which is really part of our larger mission: To get your music out there and heard and seen by as big of an audience as you want. We love that the videos are getting better and better!

We also made a few changes around the place with more to come. Here is a list:

Search In The Archives:

example
Now you can search the archives for your own videos or for other incredible videos from other artists!

New Rendering Engine:

We rebuild the rendering engine and flushed the database of all the broken GIFS. The engine flags and removes all GIFS that would cause unpredictable renders some times. Not anymore! We also changed the process for splicing the GIFS and we are super pleased with the results. There also was a change in Quicktime that needed a new render formula. Old videos will be converted to the new MP4 cross platform version soon.

One New Effect! Bubble Warp!:

Pick this and it goes all weird and warped thanks to some advanced mathematics!
bubblewarp
Sorry for the delay on effects. I had some real world music videos that premiere in May coming out!

Also small changes like automatic naming convention for youtube/soundcloud/bandcamp, and general code improvements.

We got a huge TODO list I won’t burden you with here, but remember please consider a donation – we are trying to rock without ads for as long as possible. Your donations go toward server costs. Even a dollar or a little bitcoin means a lot! You can also consider buying a some MVGEN merchandise too!

Also please subscribe to Tumblr / Facebook / Twitter / Soundcloud / Reddit / Youtube and spread the word!

Never hesitate to email us with ideas or comments. K! Go make videos!

Sean Price “Planet Of The Apes” MVGEN Video

Hip-Hop

 

tumblr_n8wv12bKZg1tzdu2xo2_500

Sean Price was the first musician to show love to MVGEN and an all around cool guy as well as a hilarious comedian and an incredible rapper, so he will be missed. Dope thing about P, was that he was so visual with his rhymes so I always enjoyed making videos for his work. I’m a huge fan of the old “Planet Of The Apes” movies as well as the new ones (not the Tim Burton/Marky Mark one tho, the next two) so when I heard Sean Price’s song “Planet Of The Apes,” I had to make a video for it. Check it out.

Denmark Vessey “Martin Lucid Dream” MVGEN Video

Hip-Hop, Videos

Screen Shot 2015-10-16 at 10.07.46 AMSo a few weeks back I saw a dope picture promoting a new EP by Denmark Vessey on Frank William Miller Junior’s label Rappers I Know. Both the name of the song, the picture used and song were all very visual so I thought  the “Martin Lucid Dream” song would be an ideal song for an MVGEN video. I used some MLK and Civil Rights keywords for the GIFs and then used the random color scene filter and the dream trails effects to match what I got from the song title and picture for it. Please support MVGEN so we get more space and continue to make dope videos and let other people make videos for themselves too.

Good: 10,000 Plus YouTube views! Aww: Deep Dream Filters Offline from Limited CPU

Uncategorized

We got good news and we got aww news. First the Good!

Forget good: GREAT! We are back up to 10,000k YouTube Channel Views! This is awesome. If you opt in to sending your music/video to YouTube – we want to make sure people see your kick-ass work! Don’t forget if you want it taken down – please send us a message and we’ll get it down ASAP.
10000

The Aww: For a bit we have to take Google Deep Dream Filters Offline for videos. A ton of you guys want to see your videos in Deep Dream mode – We do too! Unfortunately we have massive server issues we are trying to work thru: I.E. we can’t quite afford the extra CPU cycles and storage space: YET to accommodate the mighty Deep Dream filter. I have a feeling it will be back at some point – maybe a queued pipeline – I am open to other ideas! (or maybe we’ll hit power-ball and can afford some servers!). We are gonna try our darnest to let the few in the system finish rendering. It might take a week!

So that’s the latest! There are still at least 30 new filters coming this month as soon as I get off set filming The Rescue – all not as intense as Deep Dream on the server, but still mega-dope!

Finally – Music Videos. For the people.

Big shout out to Frank JavCee Who just did an awesome video called “How To IDM” on YouTube. He explains how to make a new movement in music : Intelligent Dance Music.
