Took forever, but audio is finished for Updated and Expanded Godzilla Heisei Themes. It's over 2 hours long (I got carried away). Still working on what I want visually though, so I thought I'd leave it up to a vote.
Should I try something new, or keep the old city silhouette style of the previous videos?
Alright, I'm feeling mixed on this and need some opinions. Godzilla vs Destoroyah has 2 perfect endings themes and I'm not sure which one I want to end with.
There's Requiem, the theme that plays when Godzilla melts away at the end of the movie, which would end the video and the era on a more somber note.
Then there's the end credits march, a redux of the classic Godzilla march mixed with the theme from King Kong vs Godzilla and used during the end credits of the move and the boat scene of Godzilla Minus One.
I love both of these tracks so they'll both be in the video regardless, but the question is, which one do I end with? Requiem's much more somber, but using the cut version that includes Junior's theme can end the video in a really powerful way and feels closer to that passing of the torch moment as we transition into Millennium.
On the other hand, the end credits march feels like a celebration of the series and a farewell to this era. With the cheerful bells at the end signifying Godzilla's passing, it feels much more like a conclusion and would also fit the end of the video.
Alright, still alive. Some life stuff got in the way, but I'm back to editing. I'm trying to give Return of Godzilla and Vs Biollante some more love at the moment. Biollante's OST is particularly beautiful, so trying to find the right cuts and flow is especially difficult at the moment.
While I work on this, I do want to look ahead. While there's always more of the OSTs I wish to include in my videos, I feel like the Millennium mix is pretty good at the moment. I'm not sure how much I can add to it or if I can make the mix better. Of course, I thought the same thing about Heisei and I'm being proven wrong when giving the OST another listen, so maybe I'm wrong about Millennium too.
I'm still undecided on updating Millennium themes. Let me know if that's something you'd like to listen to. Reiwa and American have to be updated for sure though since a bunch of new stuff's come out since 2018.
Thought about making an updated Star Wars music video since a lot has come out since then. I started making a list to keep up with every canon piece of media with a soundtrack. I was horrified at the number. If we're counting seasons separately, there would be 50 different entries.
Keep in mind, a new show releases in June, followed by a new major game the next month. This also doesn't include the "Forces of Destiny" show since there's no clean cut of the soundtrack I can find online.
Now, even if some of these entries would just be 1-3 tracks, there'd still be 36 entries.
So, in short, don't expect an update on that any time soon.
Anyway, here's the list I used for the curious (Movies are capitalized):
- Young Jedi Adventures (Yes, that's canon) - Tales of the Jedi - THE PHANTOM MENACE - ATTACK OF THE CLONES - CLONE WARS - Clone Wars (7 Seasons) - REVENGE OF THE SITH - The Bad Batch (3 Seasons) - Tales of the Empire - Jedi: Fallen Order - SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY - Obi-Wan Kenobi - Jedi: Survivor - Andor - Rebels (4 Seasons) - Secrets of the Empire - Vader Immortal - ROGUE ONE - A NEW HOPE - EMPIRE STRIKES BACK - RETURN OF THE JEDI - Battlefront - Battlefront II - Commander - Uprising - Squadrons - The Mandalorian (3 Seasons) - The Book of Boba Fett - Ahsoka - Resistance (2 Seasons) - THE FORCE AWAKENS - THE LAST JEDI - Galaxy's Edge - Tales from Galaxy's Edge - Tales from Galaxy's Edge - Last Call - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER
Took me forever, but Heisei editing is underway. Track list is already looking pretty long, but we'll see what survives the edit. Let me know if there's any songs in particular that you want me to include and I'll try to see what I can do.
Starting an updated Heisei themes. Ran into a little problem with the shows. Heisei era technically has 2 shows; 'Adventure! Godzilland' and 'Godzilla Island'. While Godzilland fits comfortably in between VS Mothra and VS Mechagodzilla, 'Godzilla Island' wasn't released until after VS Destoroyah.
Putting it after VS Destoroyah would definitely mess with the mood since the video would no longer end with Requiem. Though, technically speaking, I could still put 'Godzilla Island' after Destoroyah and then just move the end credits from Destoroyah to the end of the video. That might work, but I feel that the mood would still be a little off.
So, do I lump Godzilland and 'Godzilla Island' together in between VS Mothra and VS Mechagodzilla, or do I keep it chronological and put 'Godzilla Island' after VS Destoroyah.
Audacity screwed up my files and now I have to redo the whole project. Fun.
In the meantime, I'm coming up with visuals for the video. These are the two I have so far. The first one is a callback to the original vid's visual style with a few updates. The second is a design I used for a now blocked video that combined all the Godzilla themes. I'm not sure which one I prefer.
YouTube cropped them poorly (because of course they did) but you can get the basic idea from these two.

First pass of the audio for Showa Themes is done.
Total time: 1 hour, 6 minutes, and 25 seconds.
When I said extended, I meant extended. Let's see if it will ever see the light of day.
