Lad, the one with the dramatic music is ebin as fugg. What I'm trying to say is, I have a gigantic boner right now.
Here's another one I made, but I can't into webm, so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohK_fi5JwuQ

Thank you very much, my chap.
Here's a chart topper fresh from the 1920s.
Just made this

>not knowing Paysage d'Hiver
>song is called "Welt aus Eis" (world of ice)
>album cover is a guy standing on a glacier alone
meep
Ok, so, I didn't apply myself 100% to this because it's just a test of the waters so to speak, do you think it's worth me putting more effort into something like this for the whole song?
>>925608
I like the song
>>925618
Who doesn't like a bit of Nilsson?
>>925605
It's still shit lad
>>925605
Ever noted that all Paysage d'Hiver album covers are in Black and White? That's in part the problem.

The Green Kingdom - Untitled
from Hotline Miami 2
Here, have some quick OC I made.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkERiIIBtUc
Decided not to convert it to a webm, since I wanted the full length of the song and didn't want to bother with scaling it down.
>>925905
sounds like someone borrowed the beginning hook for rhcp's californication and made a chiptune out of just that part.
i was goldla for two years i had illness to being asleep but awake sometime. peolpe not seen me standing in quiet air. quiet music. train move by reflect dots in eyes, and fog too fast for search of fellow gondola. hundredd of night and day when only quiet and see. inside is little warm even space dark does not cold. mayn suns i find in ground with no life, suns inside.
new home is find in two years. warm gondolas also have reflect dots. dark is bright now but still inside are suns.
how do i squish down audio quality enough to fit the whole thing in the webm?
cool oc
>>926286
love it

Corpse Party OST: Sad theme.
>>926259
lower the video bitrate. I used my "music on youtube" preset for Windows Movie Maker which has an extremely low image bitrate but a high sound bitrate. As there only is a still image, you can also lower the refresh rate from 30 to whatever... 1 fps.
how'd i go mates?
>>926584
I rate it aussie/10.
fair dinkum mate
>>926430
>Corpse Party OST: Sad theme
sweeet thank you man
>>925664
oh man
>>926339
amazing. love the surreal touch to it. gondola is transcendent.
have an avant-garde gondola
someone explain to me how to make this not look like shit and still fit in 4 MB; lowering bitrates makes it more and more blurry even if i use a still image
>>926703
Well it's animated and a 3:20 long video. Not much you can do here, maybe lower the refresh rate to something like 10 fps.
Guys, you referred me to xmedia recode for webms, and it's pretty good and I'm very pleased with its user friendliness.
There are some things however that it can't do, like edit and combine and cut videos.
What are some easy user friendly video editing software?
Sony Vegas Sucks (wayyy too picky with video formats, even .avi wtf?)
Adobe Premiere sucks ass too because it suffers from the same problem (will only work with certain file types).
I just want to use a user friendly video editing software....
Gotta any recommendations?
/g/ won't help me...

threnody gondola
>>927192
Glad somebody knows their stuff (or can read metadata)
>>927089
Good concept, but gondola shouldn't be that large. Put him on the edge of the roof or something, but him on that crane makes him seem ridiculously huge.
>>927257
Thanks for the advice, it's my third video after all.
I was gonna color this, but I got carried away with my lines
>>927266
no music?
>>927283
you can't hear it?
>>927292
only the bit at the end. not sure if intentional
>>927298
that's weird. works fine for me.
>>927300
audio starts at 1:24
>>927304
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa6MjVyB9fk
This is that song.
I can't tell you why the audio would be bugged for you.
>>927309
weird. when i refreshed it started working
someone tell hiromoot
>>927322
it's a 4chan issue most likely
>>927324
nah, it does it when I open it from my files.
I think it's the bit rate
Someone should do a gondola with this marvelous piece of art:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP7B3hbKwY8
Imagine gondola wearing a fez, leaning towards some old building while sitting on a decorated pavement, looking somewhat blank to the nay he's holding, with an imperishable smile on his face.
I wish I could draw the gondola ;_;
>>927342
anon
you CAN draw the gondola
go ahead and try

>>925608
yes
anyone else getting a bug where some audio doesn't play unless you re-open the webm? It mainly gets stopped by clicking on the seek somewhere...
I hope this gondola gives you all pleasant feelings.
I'm not sure who made this one but I love it

Thats part of gondola, everyone can draw it (him, her?). However I think it would have been better to place gondola under the tree, gazing into the sunset, with only the silhouette visible.

>>928663
I like it but the music doesn't really fit the atmosphere of the image. try something with flutes
>>925485
anyone got source on the track?
tldr on how to do this shit? great OC i promise
>>928859
find a picture you like or draw a picture
draw gondola on the picture
put it to music as a webm, preferably music which fits the theme of the image and is suitable for gondola
post it
>>928867
>put it to music as a webm
more info required, more oc promised
>>928869
the process I use is not the most efficient but it works with minimum fuss.
>Make picture as gif with at least 2 frames (I use gifApp to make animated gif)
>upload to gifycat which automagically converts to webm
>save said webm to computer
>use webmforretards to dub the webm with an mp3 of my choice
I'm sure there are many more simple ways to do this and I would welcome knowing them myself.
>>928879
allright, thanks
>>928830
thanks, I'll improve and upload a better version next time
>>928869
I use Windows Movie Maker. Drag&drop image, drag&drop music, make sure the lengths align, maybe add audio fadeout.
For drawing MS paint is enough, though Paint.net or Gimp can be more comfortable at times.
>>928896
And I forgot: Make a custom export scheme. Low video bitrate (800 kbit/s), low framerate (5 fps), high audio quality (192 kbit/s). Export as mp4 and convert with MasterOfWebm 1.1
https://github.com/MasterOfWebM/WebM-Converter/releases
I don't want to sound rude, but it's a little disappointing to see this go from crudely drawn but endearing 2-3 frame animations to "look at this cool picture I found plus here's a gondola I drew over it btw" over the course of a few threads.
>>928879
having trouble with
>dub the webm with an mp3 of my choice
maybe i am just retarded but i can't find where to input mp3
also what's 4chan size limit? 0 knownledge about this stuff
>>928879
theres a better way
>go here https://github.com/WebMBro/WebMConverter/releases
>download the zip
>use peazip and extract contents to desktop
>make a series of images using your favorite image editor (I use GIMP)
>open Windows movie maker
>drag and drop images (make sure they are in the correct order)
>add music trim if necessary
>save for computer
>use webm converter to convert the file make sure file size limit is 4mb and audio is enabled
>>928908
There should be a short guide posted everytime a thread pops up if you want to keep the quality high. Otherwise newfags such as I will unknowingly contribute with shit without knowing why it's shit.
>>928908
I don't mind the still image ones but the animated gondolas and hand drawn backgrounds are always better imho
>>928848
Reverse image search on the pic brings up this:
zdzislaw beksinski tree
Unfortunately, no sign of the composer or Gondola.
>>928908
I don't know who to make actual animations, but I at least draw my own images from scratch.
>>928913
>>928896
>>928879
got it, thanks
here my first oc, good idea but terrible execution, i think
>>928908
if someone can explain to me how to make an animated gondola fit into 4 MB I will gladly make some
I've been using movie maker and then converting to webm with XMedia Recode and even my still image gondolas with short songs get huge and lose image quality
>>928959
as mentioned above, drastically reduce the video bitrate. do some experiments, but you can save a lot of size there.
>>928929
brian eno ambient 4
>>928960
I tried that and yes, they did get smaller, but it also turns all of them into super blurry/pixelated messes. Reducing frames as low as they can go for the still images didn't help either
maybe I need to try something other than XMedia Recode to convert? or save the original video as something other than .wmv? I have like 5 copies of my first gondola from trying to make it sized correctly and honestly kind of gave up trying to get the image quality to stay as nice as the original stills
>>928908
But that's what it originally started as. Gondola is a watcher and should never be the center of attention. While the animated ones are nice they focus too much on gondola, he's supposed to be the melancholy watcher of human life, and in the images where he's sublimely in the background is the spirit of the meme.
One I made
>>928998
Who gave you the authority to dictate what the "spirit" of this is? Everyone has their own vision.
Focusing on gondola isn't inherently bad, nor does it make it any less melancholic, if that's what you want it to be. I think >>928908 is a great example of that. Some of the OC posted in this thread also does a great job of evoking that same feeling, in particular:
>>925539 >>925526 >>925491 >>927266 >>928156 all have fairly prominent gondolas and are my favorites in the thread. And plenty of other mystical feelings can be had when gondola is prominent as well, namely >>926339 is amazing, and pic related is too.
Making him a tiny speck in the background seems almost pointless. I may as well just look up landscape photographs on google while listening to music, and tell myself that there's a little brown face with long legs that I can't see in each photo. Rather than making him the "melancholy watcher of human life," it's more interesting to focus on gondola's own life, whatever you might imagine it to be like, either melancholic, happy, or anything else.
>>928270
>Jose Gonzales
>Not Jose Gondolasez
>>929082
this guy kinda gets it, for me it's all about being able to relate to the character, if you draw him in an existing picture he sticks out so it's harder to get the feeling of him being there which makes it harder to 'feel the moment' if that makes any sense
anyway, this is the first meme I actually enjoy and I've been here for quite a few years so I'm really happy to see all of you creating OC
I like both flavours of gondola
>>928959
>XMedia Recode
Why not just use ffmpeg? It seems to do the trick.

Gondolas are retarded and your neohew is a fag,

"Stop making OC"
t. professional cumlord
>>929198
To be honest, I looked at it and have no fuckin idea how to use it
>>929215
Board sticky has instructions. Alternatively, just use Webm for Retards, which is also available in the sticky, which uses ffmpeg to convert. It's quite nice, really.
>>929222
I'll play around with it next gondola, thanks.
>>929222
webm for retards is just a GUI wrapper for ffmpeg
>>929082
Literally the Norwegian /int/ poster on the other Chan that made the fucking OG gondola said how its suppose to be, we're just adhering to the original source. Gondola is not suppose to be the main focus of the picture, if you don't like it fine but it didnt start out that way.
>>929243
Can I get a link to that?
contributing my first gondola oc
>>929243
If the description you're referring to is the one that can be found on KYM, it doesn't say anything about what should be the focus of the image. I don't know of any other descriptions of what gondola is supposed to be, so perhaps I'm missing something.
Besides that, it apparently came from ylilauta, and I don't see what you're saying reflected in their posts here.

chrome. And yeah it's all of these. Are you using the webm maker in the board sticky?
Made some oven fresh OC, still all hot and steamy
>>929082
This 2bh family, I put in a lot of effort to animate my gonds and draw them from scratch while other people just paste a brown figure on someone else's art. It's kind of lazy tbqh and lowers the overall quality. I mean it's ok to start off like that but at some point start drawing originals because gondola's are supposed to be like that.

>>925711
Anyone know the audio source?
>>929405
I've been using webm for retards, though if I'm perhaps using an out of date version, it's possible that's the cause.
or it's my images, attached to the webm.
>>929539
>>929405
hell it may just be the crop length for all I know.
thoughts?
I guess I can answer some questions on how to start animating these things. webm related is from scratch

You posted this in the previous thread.
Like I said then, I like the musical choice but I feel the image doesn't quite fit. Maybe gondola is too big. Maybe its not enough magical shit going on.
I can see the vision of what you tried for, and I can appreciate it for that. But something is off and it doesn't quite work.
