The Poem From Lasher and Some Music

I put together a video that shows the poem from Lasher, and laid the text over brief Mayfair Witches GIFs that were converted to MP4.  I managed to find some of the music used for the little clips used for those countdowns, the ones with the flowers.  I would loooooove to know how those were made because they are beautiful!

On The Poem, you will find the video embedded from YouTube.  The music used is a song used for the clips for each main character in the green frames.  To find the music, Google Chrome has a pretty good add-on for identifying a piece of music by playing it.  Another way is, if you upload content to YouTube using Studio, the Content ID system will identify it if the song is in said Content ID system.

Just for fun, I looked at Immortal Universe's Facebook page and looked at the different video clips.  For the countdowns with the animated flowers, I would occasionally come across questions about the music used in the little clips.  I've managed to find some of it, and I thought it might be useful to put that information here.  

Below is a "corrected" version of the beginning of music used for the 3 Days clip that I made and uploaded to YouTube with some flower graphics inspired by the clip.  The 3 Days clip can be found on Immortal Universe's Facebook and Twitter pages.

 The song in the clip above is called "The Devil's Palace" by Midnight Swami, Kurt Karver & Blake Blumenthal The full version of this song can be found in this playlist on the Parlor's YouTube channel:

Blog Progress and the AMC Series

I've been freshening up pages on the blog that came from the original site with things like new graphics, more resources, etc.  I've got a ways to go with that, but in the meantime...

So far, the most interest seems to be in the new series, Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches.  I thought while I'm doing fun stuff with graphics and finding more resources, it might be interesting to also give a running commentary.

Obviously, there are differences between the book and the screen.  There has been quite a bit of discussion about that.  Even my mother can be heard at times saying, "That wasn't in the book!"

So I will most likely start by doing some book to screen comparisons.  Some of those comparisons, I think, will be very interesting.

Here is a really neat animation of the house in the series that I found on AMC+'s Twitter feed.  I couldn't resist sharing it!
