Bionicle 2006 Tribute: Trigger (Cryoshell)

One of my video tributes for Bionicle. None of the properties in this video, visual or auditory, belong to me--Bionicle and the videos are made by Advance for Lego, and the music is created by Cryoshell/other bands. Shout-out to the most excellent sites of the Biomedia Project and Biosector01, as well as certain biotubers for their archiving all the material I was able to use. It's been nearly ten years since Bionicle ended, and about a decade since music was ever released for Bionicle, and while we are still hotly anticipating the promised second album, perhaps this will help satiate some of the nostalgia buds in the mean time. So far, I've made ten videos themed around each of the ten years of Bionicle, as well as one overall video dedicated to the whole of it. The challenge is to take Bionicle CGI (minus the movies, including those would provide their own complications that I don't want to address at the moment) and string them together to songs that aptly fit their year. Most of the time, these are the ones that coorespond to the year they promoted, but sometimes I take a few liberties--I think to much success. Personally, I'm surprised no one has done this already. This has been something I've been meaning to do for years, and now that I have the training to make it happen, I've been thrilled with the results. I hope to do a two more for Hero Factory (Come to My Heaven and Breakout) and probably one for G2 (and G3?), but I'll tackle those down the road. 2006--Trigger. Of all the music in this Bionicle G1 series, Trigger is one of the few that was never used for Bionicle in any capacity. If anything, the honor of 2005 should have gone to Move Along. But when put up against the 2005 animations, I really couldn't feel it, especially in the context of the other videos of the playlist. The Voya Nui conflict is the first part of the dark Ignition Trilogy, and Move Along didn't really convey that imo. Trigger always struck me as being a song that well conveyed the roles the Piraka and Inika bear as the ones to kick-start the jumpstarting of the Great Spirit Robot--the triggers to the final phase in Makuta's Plan. (Plus Avak=Trigger joke.) Not to mention there were only really ever the same ten seconds of the song that were used with Bionicle. Piraka Rap technically could have been used as well, but again, it doesn't convey the dark attitude that attributes the Ignition Trilogy. Shoot me, though, the lighthearted nature of the Piraka Rap animations will be my downfall, and I can already picture people getting distracted from this video as they laugh and recall the Piraka Rap. Yo yo Piraka. Anyway, if someone wants to do videos with Move Along or Piraka Rap, I highly encourage you to (although Piraka Rap would just be splicing in cuts of the Inika into an already short song, so not much you can do there).
