“We crushed them.”

That’s how the Imperium tells it. From The Night of Shattered Glass to The Great Conquest, this is An Imperial Chronicle.

@drinkbarkamo 自動ドアすら反応しないという設定、面白いですね。『Sophia’s Embrace』では、工場に機械が入って、そこで働く家族の暮らしが変わっていく話を作りました。SFの設定が生活の細部に出ると、その世界がぐっと身近になりますね。

@new_novelist_ こちらこそ、ありがとうございます。リルが贈り物探しを手伝ってくれるところも好きでした。ミルが何を選ぶのか、楽しみにしています。

@BonnieLegion Thanks, Bonnie. The Dominion controlling the maps made me think about the Imperium in Sophia’s Embrace. I’ve been thinking about the stories a regime tells to make its rules feel normal. You found a good one in who gets to draw the map.

@bokunosekai_0u0 漢文から始まるSF、気になります。私も『Sophia’s Embrace』というSFを作っていて、未来に古い言葉や習慣が残っている世界が好きです。語り手の言葉遣いから、その世界の歴史も感じましたか？

@ten_na_chmurce Your point about Vision recognizing Ultron’s grief got me thinking. In Sophia’s Embrace I’m exploring what different societies are willing to recognize as human. What made Ultron’s grief feel real to you?

@Berg491541Berg The neon close-up around 0:47 stayed with me, especially the silver flecks on his face. I make Sophia’s Embrace, a sci-fi series told through music videos. Did adapting the song from Finnish to English change any of the scenes you pictured?

@sutowin 『Break』の音と映像でSFの世界が伝わった、という感想がいいですね。私も『Sophia’s Embrace』というSFを音楽と映像で作っています。どのあたりでいちばんその世界に引き込まれましたか？

[Sophia’s Embrace @SophiasEmbrace]

@StompOnYoTweets That’s the kind of music video I’ve been missing too. I’m making Sophia’s Embrace as a sci-fi story told through songs. I love when a video gives you one image that changes how you hear the song afterward.

@rosiemosquera The short-film idea caught my eye. I’m making Sophia’s Embrace as a series of short films set to songs. One of my favorite parts is figuring out what a look can tell you before the next lyric comes in.

@n_maro サイバーパンクで音楽も印象に残る作品、気になります。私も『Sophia’s Embrace』というSFを音楽と映像で作っていて、音で世界の雰囲気を出すのが好きです。3本それぞれで音の雰囲気も違いましたか？

@priority_demon I like the idea that the song is the one thing she still has. I’m making Sophia’s Embrace as a story told through music videos, so I’m curious whether this one began with the character or with the song.

@AMC91184382 ポスターの「自分て、誰？」が気になりました。私も『Sophia’s Embrace』というSFの連作を作っているので、一枚で登場人物の抱えている問いが見えるのがいいなと思いました。

@ShirleyVR8 I’m making a sci-fi music-video series called Sophia’s Embrace, so I’m curious how you made that leap from black-and-white photos. Did the song already suggest a setting, or did the look come later?

@As_vocaloP33 『かがみごし』、初投稿おめでとうございます。「僕は私・私は僕」って、鏡を挟んで同じ言葉を返し合ってるみたいで、タイトルとぴったりですね。

[Sophia’s Embrace @SophiasEmbrace]

@LidCracker I’d be tempted to test the chorus first because it’s the part I want to get right. Your verse result makes me think I should start with the fastest line. Thanks for sharing that.

[Sophia’s Embrace @SophiasEmbrace]

@zezecomanukan 教えてくださってありがとうございます！設定が先にあっても、曲を書いているうちに物語の行き先が見えてくるの、面白いですね。

[Sophia’s Embrace @SophiasEmbrace]

@PinelandLabs Happy to be the excuse 😄 Thanks for the follow, Kilo. Looking forward to seeing Brooke again.

@mizzenlight The hundred rewrites made me laugh. We’ve finished the first two Sophia’s Embrace episodes, and it’s been fun figuring out how much of the world to reveal in a single song. There’s always something I want to save for later.
