Yea, there does seem to be something odd going on in IE. When the description boxes pop out on mouseover, the order of things really goes all over the place - some things shift, some things disappear somewhere. Seems IE definitely doesn't like it all too much.

Lovely. Seems I have a little more digging to do before I properly use that neat little CSS feature.

Damn Microsoft and their crappy standards support.

Ok, im currently uploading "a boy i knew" (which is taking a long ass time for some reason) but i just started ripping my EOE footage today to start something new. Hopefully ill finish by the end of June of something, but if i do manage to finish it, i'll upload that and let you decided which one to use.

I'm just wondering how long is Fantasia or whatever its called gonna go on? And is there a deadline for when the final compilation will be put together. The reason is that I've only just started on my video and have been swamped by school and college preperation. I don't want to be left out

.

One more question. The song I'm using right now is "End of All Things" from LOTR:ROTK. Almost all the song is centered around the vocals of the choir. I'm just wondering if it still counts as instrumental, I would think so, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I'd upload it to the songs on the FTP but for some reason I can't. (maybe my firewall or router?)

Well, I'm certainly not one to approach on deadlines

I'd like to see it sooner rather than later, seeing how I already have 2 videos in it

Though I will be taking my sweet time with the next one, probably - when I do start it.

Speaking of which, uploaded the song to FTP. Non-Bebop and Specific-Bebop suggestions welcome. As much as I'd like to stay away from CB for this, even for visual and story-related consideration, it's the closest thing to match this sort of music. I already have a few wacky ideas for possible graphical quirks I might do with it

Anyway, we'll see. Waiting for further guidance and uploaded material to look at...

For accompanying jazz, Gunsmith Cats might be a good alternative to Cowboy Bebop. Its opening sequence is one of the classiest I've ever seen.

Well, my thing is that it's not entirely jazz, more jazz-rock. Plus it has a kind of structure which lends itself to an epic sort of visual plot - thus another reason I lean to Bebop here.

We'll see. I'm real broke now

But if I shake my friends well, they might come up with some unexpected stuff. Granted, I'm all for a Bebop vid in this - but it'd be nice if I considered all alternatives first. Another series which might have worked is Hellsing, but it doesn't have the kind of athmosphere I'm looking for.

Anubsx: you can't upload to the Songs folder, you have to upload to the Inbox. I essentially do this to keep people from accidentally overwriting what's already up there and to have some small measure of controll over what's coming into and going out of my computer.

The wildly variable upload and download speeds are probably a function of the bandwidth traffic on my node on the network. It seem to me that my connection slows down quite a bit every time someone opens a LAN party on the floor - but maybe I'm just going crazy as a side effect of sharing a room with someone who usually has hockey on the television and computer at the same time and having to listen to both the real and fake game simultaniously.

There is no set deadline or project length largely because we still have yet to see what most of the people who have contected me on joining this project are going to produce (if anything), because we all have to set this aside for a while thanks to finals and such, and because I don't want to turn away or rush a potentially awesome video over a prematurely set deadline. That all said, I'm thinking that late June or early July might be a good time, giving all university people a month out of school and the high school folks at least a week. The length of the project is going to be determined by the amount of submitted material. If by some freak jump in editing productivity we end up with three hours of usable footage, we'll use three hours of footage. I do think it'd probably make sense to split this into two or three volumes if much more than an hour comes in, lending some consideration to people who don't want to download a gigabyte block of video from my unpredictable and occasionally slow server.

I think I've answered that last question about a dozen times by now. Too bad these forum threads can't have their own FAQ, because reading 200+ posts would really be a bit much for anyone who didn't join the project at its inception, yet the repeated questions kinda puff it out even more.
