All right, I'm back. Sorry for not posting much - my workload has been a little hellish lately. And from the looks of it, the demands of academia have bene pretty tough on quite a few of us in the recent weeks. >__>
Anyway, a big thanks goes out to all project members who have watched and given me some thoughts on the beta, though so far that list only consists of
Oto,
Bakadeshi,
dwp,
Kalium, and
ooshna! Where did everybody else go? I sent out PM's to all the project members (
and an email to rose4emily) ...

Maybe I can look into the possibility of adding it with some software after I finish with the fullscreen section. As it is, I think the scene comes off as a bit static. (not enough movement) maybe if the projection light flickered might also help that.
I got it working, but then I realized was that pipe smoke looks a lot different from the cigarette smoke clip that I'd found, and that adding it seems a bit unnatural and distractive. So I decided to just not include smoke at all. The video does fall slightly on the static side, but I think that viewers will have plenty to concentrate on with Oto's monologues. Since I'm pressed for time (and you are, too) I think I'll just leave things that way they are. Unless there's a relatively quick and easy way for me to apply the flicker effect.

Yey!

Oh yeah, I went back and added you under "art concept" for the fullscreen narratives, since you've made some adjustments to my original drawing. Be sure to notify of me your bg music selections soon! So I can stop crediting "Song" by Artist.

Cool, thanks for the specificity. I'll tweak the volume levels this weekend!
Anybody have any other comments? Come on... Songbird? Pen-pen? Anubis? TJ?
Anyway, hope y'all have a delicious Thanksgiving.
