More along the lines of "girls in an era where televisions came in large wooden cabinets weren't likely to be wearing pantsuits". Fifty years later, no problem, but the overall look of the fullscreen 'set' would make it into an irritating anachronism.
That, and I'm starting to think they're a little dull (and too bright visually) in the first place - that I should come up with something a bit prettier anyhow.
Not that the anime and most of the music aren't also anachronistic. So, mainly, I was just looking for an excuse to change the set images.
I've finished the first few rendering units for my animation and audiovisual editing application, and can now make images fade in and out from black, crossfade from one image to another, and move around on the screen. In essence, I can do moving type that appears and dissappears - and plan to use this for the credits (and for the narratives if none of the audio recordings pan out). Hopefully, just the credits. I'm now working on creating a common paramaterized file format and interface for calling and controlling these units so I can easily automate them without having to write a bunch of temporary code for each use. After that I'll complete the 2D animation portion of the application by including a set of filters, color transforms, and spatial transforms that will serve as the necessary building blocks for all common video editing and animating functions. Later functionality will include image creation, audio editing, a transcoding interface to mplayer, and a GUI for temporal video editing and stream compositing. One thing at a time, and it will come together.
may seeds of dreams fall from my hands -
and by yours be pressed into the ground.
But....um...why would you need to change the imagery? *Waits for excuse that doesn't involve something along the lines of "Girls can't narrate action stuff"

I always figured those 3 videos were more than just con-worthy.
