Following many of the (More) Burning Karma is darker and more intense than its predecessor, AquaBurn, yet it maintains a focus on the incredible art installations of the year's theme (Beyond Belief). Following many of the artists from AquaBurn, we see Terry Schrek’s project “In God’s Hands”, Peter Hudson’s return with Sisyphish, David Best’s Temple of Honor, plus sky diving footage from Brian Burke & the Sky People, all set to classical music and hypnotic techno beats. In 2003 Bill Breithaupt was again asked by Burning Man Head of Media Operations Jim Graham to create another film, this time to headline the 2nd Burning Man Film Festival in Santa Cruz, leaving him only one month between Burning Man and the film festival to edit a new film. With less than two weeks till Santa Cruz, Bill took some time off from his grueling editing schedule to attend the Coney Island Short Film Festival in New York. Not only was AquaBurn an official selection in the festival, but it won the title of Best Documentary Short Film. Returning home with a cleared mind, Breithaupt resumed his editing schedule and completed Burning Karma the very morning of the Santa Cruz Burning Man Film Festival. A Little About Burning Man: Officially beginning on Baker Beach in 1986, Burning Man began on an impulse when Larry Harvey & Jerry James created a man out of wood and burned him on the beach. Various myths and rumors circulate about what the man represented: a love lost, a memorial to Larry’s father, etc. Larry insists it is not what it represented that matters, but that the act of burning the effigy was the “first recorded form of what we now call ‘radical self-expression’ ” (from Burning Man’s MySpace page) a concept that became his gift to the world. Others joined him for the burn on the beach, bringing their influence and arts, having their own moments of “radical self-expression”. The crowd grew each year, and in 1990 San Francisco police stepped in to halt the expanding event, and a new location was obtained in the Nevada desert. Now, over 45,000 people travel to Burning Man Festival at Block Rock City in the Nevada desert to participate in an experience that is unlike any found in modern society. For one week in late August they become part of an experimental community, which challenges its members to express themselves and rely on themselves to a degree that is not normally encountered in day-to-day life. They are to provide their own food, water and shelter, enduring sweltering temperatures often above 110 degrees and overwhelming sandstorms. In the face of such a formidable environment the society flourishes. There is no commerce, Burning Man is built upon a gift economy mentality. No commercialism, no vending, no money at the Burning Man Festival. Gifting is part of the experience. And an experience it is. All around the playa large art installations challenge the elements, rising above the horizon. Theme camps are abundant, each offering their creativity to passers-by in the form of body painting to grilled cheese sandwiches. Burning Man is the catalyst for boundary pushing artists & scientists. MIT Press Journal article on Nate Smith & Kiki Petit’s projects. People are beginning to take it seriously as an arts festival, rather than just a bunch of crazy hippies partying in the desert. Dr. Megavolt On Saturday night the man is burned. All the members of this unusual city convene in the center, watching as the 40 foot structure is ignited. As the flames burn higher and the Man falls, each takes away his own memories and experiences. One would be wary of truly being oneself, even in such an uninhibited environment, if the threat of exploitation of one's art for any commercial purposes was present. It is for this reason that film and video cameras are forbidden without permission at Burning Man. All video cameras must be registered and tagged. If you are considering filming for professional purposes, you must have a commercial agreement on file with the media team prior to your arrival onsite. Even with an agreement on file, you still must have permission from Burning Man (the Burning Man Organization) to use any images commercially. This is one reason why AquaBurn is so unique and special. Not only is it a Burning Man sanctioned film, it is also highly entertaining, stunningly beautiful and shockingly hip. It has become the most popular Burning Man film with festival attendees, as well as general public. Maid Marian, Mistress of Communications for Burning Man, LLC says: “ Aqua Burn rocks my world ! ” AquaBurn is an award-winning documentary film by director Bill Breithaupt showcasing "The Floating World" theme of the 2002 Burning Man Festival. AquaBurn features many of the incredible Burning Man art installations, the imagination and originality that went into their creation, and the artists who conceived them. Unlike conventional documentaries on the Burning Man Festival, AquaBurn captures the true feeling and excitement of the event itself, transporting the viewer to a hot, dusty wonderland without ever leaving home. AquaBurn introduces you to artists like Peter Hudson, who created Sisyphish, a life-size 3D zoetrope of a swimmer, Nate Smith, who conjures a 20 ft. fire tornado, David Best & his crew’s 78 ft. Temple of Joy - a tribute to 9/11, Deirdre DeFranceaux’s beautiful sculpture of singing sirens, Shane Rogers and the Sky People show off their sky diving skills over Black Rock City, Terry Shreck’s glowing metal sculpture Beacon, and Kiki Petit’s incredible fire waterfall Egeria. Although not the first Burning Man film by Bill Breithaupt, AquaBurn has become the most popular. Breithaupt is a ten year Burning Man veteran, having attended and filmed the festival every year consecutively since 1999, when he ventured out to the playa for the first time and was blown away at what he experienced. Returning home he couldn’t stop talking about how amazing Burning Man was. Realizing that he never could quite convey the experience to others through words, he decided to express it through film, a medium he’s been working with for over 20 years. Breithaupt hunkered down and spent hours editing his footage into a film, Playa Project, which featured Dr. Megavolt. When he came back to the playa the following year he brought with him 100 copies of Playa Project to gift to his fellow burners. This became his annual tradition, filming, editing and returning the next year with films to gift on the playa. In 2000 Breithaupt started screening his films at Flambé Lounge, a pre-Burning Man party held in San Francisco. At Club Cocomo he gave the video jockey a copy of Playa Project, which was promptly played on the screens in the club. It was a hit with the crowd, hailed as “hip, new, and exciting”. The next year at Flambé Lounge they showcased his film, Got Fire? from Burning Man 2000. It was through this event that he met Andie Grace, Burning Man Org Communications Manager, with whom he shared his idea of a Burning Man Film Festival to showcase the many Burning Man films suddenly springing up. There was electricity in the air as people embraced the year’s upcoming theme The Floating World at the Flambé Lounge Blue Ball in 2002. Breithaupt showed his 2001 film PlayaScape, and the crowd was ecstatic, cheering in unison as the credits rolled. A few months later, in July of 2002, Burning Man Head of Media Operations, Jim Graham offered Bill Breithaupt a spot in the 1st annual Burning Man Film Festival held in Santa Cruz, CA. This was a surprising request, as Burning Man is known for having strict policies regarding filming at Burning Man and the usage of such footage. Jumping at the opportunity Breithaupt headed to Burning Man for his fourth year in a row, partying with his friends and filming the entire week as usual. Aside from the beautiful time-lapse footage and cinematic shots he’s known for, he also captured some fantastic insight from his fellow burners thanks to the verbal skills of his good friend Scott Sheppard. When he returned home he locked himself in his studio and edited, determined to make his best film yet. With only three weeks between the end of Burning Man 2002 and the day of the film festival, he began burning the midnight oil, editing 14-16 hours straight, rarely sleeping. At the end of this crazy schedule Breithaupt had edited a total of 180 hours, and was off to the festival without having slept for two days straight. The final result was the film AquaBurn. The 300 + audience that packed into the Rio Theater that day were awed. At the end of the film they cheered, then quieted to watch all the credits, and then cheered again, rising to give Breithaupt a standing ovation (at the end of which he thanked his mom). True to form, he filmed the audience’s enthusiastic reaction, and was even quoted as saying “it was one of the best moments of my life”. Despite agonizing pain from a previous neck injury, he then logged an additional grueling 620 hours of editing time and then AquaBurn was finally complete. It also received approval for sale from the Burning Man Organization, granted to only a few select films. In a meeting with Maid Marian, Burning Man Org Mistress of Communications, she said “AquaBurn rocks my world!” Keeping all this in perspective, Breithaupt did all this for the love of Burning Man, receiving no financial compensation from Burning Man Org. All expenses were paid out of his own pocket. Visit AquaBurn.com (Less)

Aren't you (More) Jin knocked the girl back several yards. She lay on the ground for a few moments before sitting up. ???: Ow... Jin stood there, looking at her. She looked back. ???: Well? Aren't you going to finish me off or something? Jin shook his head. Jin: I'm not sure what you've been seeing in that stone of yours, but here are a few things that you might need to know: I didn't summon the demons, I cannot control the demons, and I'm not intending on conquering or dominating anything. She didn't appear to trust him. He scoffed. Jin: Besides, if I -could- summon them, wouldn't I have done so at the start of the fight? She glared at him for a few seconds before sighing. ???: ... You're right. She stood back up, rather wobbly at that. ???: I'm sorry... Jin: It's okay. I think I'm starting to get used to people openly assaulting me, now. "Getting used to," he thought to himself. "How stupid is that?" Jin: I don't think we've had a proper introduction. I'm pretty sure you already know my name, so, what's yours? Minis: I'm... Minis. Jin: Right. And those two behind me are Kou and Shinji. Jin pointed back to them, noticing that they were still pressing against something. Jin: Did you... do that? Minis: What? Oh, right. She moved her hands in a manner and Jin heard Kou and Shinji fall onto the grass. He looked back. They got up and ran up to him. Jin: Anyway, I'm curious. What exactly are you doing out in the middle of nowhere, Minis? Minis: I've been practicing my magic. I'm getting pretty good at it. Jin let out a hum. He turned back to Kou and Shinji and began to whisper. Jin: What do you think? Could she be of any use to us? Kou wasn't whispering, yet. Kou: What? Jin shushed him. Jin: If we're going to make it back to Tokyo and get out undetected, we're going to need a little magic to help us. Do you think she might have the powers we'll need? Kou began to whisper back. Kou: Oh, uh, yeah, she might be able to help us. Shinji whispered as well. Shinji: What kinds of powers are we going to need? Jin: Let's see what she can do, first. We'll improvise with whatever she's got. Minis called out. Minis: Hey, it's really rude to whisper like that! Jin turned back and resumed talking normally. Jin: Yes, you're right. Now then, I believe I'd like to ask for a favor. Minis: And what would that be? Jin: You see, a bunch of kids have been captured by an organization in order to draw me in to utilize my so called 'powers'. Getting them out will take more than physical force and stealth. What I'm trying to say is: Do you think you can use your magic to help us? Minis: Weeell... I dunno... She looked at him as if she were searching through his words, trying to pick apart any lies that he may have made. Minis: ... Come back to my house. We can talk more, there. Jin nodded. He, Kou and Shinji began to follow her. Roughly half an hour later, they came across a house. Minis lead them to the front door. She opened it. Inside the house was nothing but darkness. Minis said a few words and light came into the room. Jin found a large dining table with a few chairs circled around it. He took a seat in one. Minis sat across the table from him. For what appeared to be an eternity, Jin and Minis talked. They discussed Minis' powers, plans on how to rescue Jin's students, and a little idle chat. Finally, Jin yawned. Jin: I think we should get some sleep. We can talk more tomorrow. Minis nodded. Jin looked over his shoulder. He saw a large open space in front of a fireplace. He stood up. He looked around for Kou and Shinji and found them both asleep leaning against a wall. He shrugged and pointed at the space. Jin: You don't mind if I sleep there, do you? Minis: No, go ahead. Jin walked over to the space. No fire was in the fireplace, but it didn't really matter to him. He lay down in front of it and shut his eyes. Even though he had been asleep for over a day, he felt really tired and fell asleep quickly. --The next morning-- Jin opened his eyes and found a fire burning. He looked back to find Kou and Shinji still asleep, so he assumed that Minis made it while he was sleeping. He felt like he should thank her, but, judging by the silence, he knew that she was still asleep. He got up and breathed in deeply, stretching his arms out. He felt a little stiffled, so he decided to go outside for a brief walk. Jin was careful not to make too much noise as he left. He opened the door quietly and stepped outside. He closed his eyes and began to walk, thinking out loud. Jin: From what she said, she knows a few spells related to teleportation. Maybe we can use those to get into the city and out without being hassled. But... can she really handle so many people? And... what would we do with all of them once we get them out? There's no telling where their families are, now. Damnit... He opened his eyes to find two girls in matching outfits. They were both looking at him. Girl 1: Jin. You'll be coming with us. Jin: If it has anything to do with the worms, whatever you're thinking of is a simple lie. Girl 2: Oh, we know all about that. We know that you didn't summon them. Jin: Then... what do you want me for? Girl 2: We want... your power. Jin: My what? They looked at each other. One of them let out a small giggle. Girl 1: So, you haven't noticed anything unusual about yourself, recently? Jin: Nothing other than a bunch of weirdos like you all wanting a piece of me. The other give him a smile. Girl 1: Well, if you come with us, we can explain everything to you. Jin: I'm not going with you. Girl 1: Well, then, I'm sorry to hear that... Strange auras began to form around them. Jin felt the air around him grow colder. Girl 1: If you will not join us, we have no choice but to kill you so that your powers cannot be used against us. Jin: Go ahead and try. --------------------- Okay, you know what? I was having some trouble figuring out just what this episode should have been. Originally, I was thinking of fighting a Hauzer, but that idea seemed a little bland. Then, I tried fighting Omega Zero; all I have to say about that is " DAMN YOU AND YOUR UNBLOCKABLE SABER COMBO!" Then I tried fighting Isabeau and I was all like "AAAAAAAAAHHH!" So, following the idea of using Isabeau, I decided to bring up the organization that Kukuru was in. As you can tell, Hiel and Kula aren't exactly like "RAWR!" like Kukuru. In fact, they're pretty balanced. Since I couldn't think of anyone else that I could actually manage, I decided to go with these two. If only I stood a chance against Isabeau... Again, I need to bring this up. These videos... They're not supposed to be me showing off. They're supposed to be a sequence of fights that bring a story together. If all I wanted to do was show off, I wouldn't even bother trying to come up with a story to each of them. You're probably also wondering something like "Why doesn't he fight any really tough/cool people?" It's because it wouldn't really make much sense, a bunch of random people showing up out of nowhere, all of them finding one specific person, and then get into a fight with him. I suppose I could just say that they're all part of some group, but, right now, the thought of a single uber-powerful group that has every badass and challenge you could possibly think of doesn't sound very appealing. Spoiler: There -is- a group that stands out above the rest; it's the one that Death is part of. Right now, though, that group isn't making any actions against any of the main characters, and they might not for a while. So, in the mean time, there will be fights and confrontations with members of other groups, like the group that Kukuru, Hiel and Kula are part of. I haven't thought of a name for the group, yet, though. Oh, well. Seventh Sanctum can probably help give me an idea. Also, search for Crossroads MUGEN and watch the stuff made by Onryou236. He's someone I know, and the stuff he's making isn't too bad. Plus, our stories are kinda supposed to be linked together. They haven't linked together, yet, but they should, at some point. A few dropped frames, like always. Credits: NAO&M for making Hiel and this version of Kula. (Less)
