Muahaha! I received 16 DVDs in the mail, which means I now have ALL the source I need to complete my video! I owe Nick Corbo a big, wet, sloppy......drink. Did some minor but vital editing last night, and then squandered the rest of the evening away on Diablo II. My assassin is coming along nicely.
I'm taking a different approach to the editing on this current video. This first "draft" I'm working on is more of a template. Clip selection is much more vital than timing in this particular vid, so for each section I'm just laying down the general clips I want. Nothing is timed yet (except for a few test passages to see if the idea will work AT ALL), there are stray scenes that I didn't bother to crop off, sometimes I don't even have the clips in order, just a big pile of clips sitting in a general "area" where I'm going to be using them, a whole fucking mess.
I have about 30 more episodes worth of stuff to capture (crosses fingers that it'll all be done by Saturday afternoon), and then I can start the *real* editing--provided I get that problem worked out that I asked about in the Video Help forum.
I had the strangest and most emotionally draining dream ever last night. I don't feel like going into minute details, but I was on death row, only I didn't have to stay at the jail. I went about my normal life, but I had to drive in on the day of my execution. I didn't want to leave my car in the lot forever though, so my mom dropped me off. The dream started two days before my execution date and ended about a day afterwards--I didn't end up dying, though. I fled the jail a few hours after my mom dropped me off there, and no one came after me. It turns out they caught the real culprit about an hour before I was scheduled to be executed, so they didn't bother looking for me. But god, what an emotionally draining dream...I went through all of that last-night-on-earth stuff, and all this self-reflecting crap. I woke up completely exhausted and glad to be alive.

Well, I managed to accomplish SOMETHING last night. I ousted the only VHS source from my video and replaced it with something else that will work just as well, if not better. No, wait. Definitely better. And now I won't have video quality discrepancies. At this rate, I'll probably have a rough cut of the video near the end of the month. I'm really worried about whether or not I can pull off the huge shift in tone near the middle. Just waiting on 16 more DVDs to come in the mail, and I have to pick up one more DVD during lunch. I think I've dropped close to $100 on source just for the sake of making this video.
People are starting to scare me. I keep getting IMs and stuff from people who say they're really looking forward to my new video. It's really nothing to look forward to ;_; I just talk about it a lot because it's a video I'm mostly making for myself, and I'm excited. It's sappy crap. I guess the way I talk about it sometimes makes it sound like it's going to be really grand and exciting. You'll just end up slapping your forehead and groaning when you see it. I think there's even a good chance some people might be angered if I enter it in competition. Besides, there's only one source in it that's newer than 6 years old :P
I know I promised no more mp3s, but this song is too firmly in my head right now, and if no one else, EK will like it (if you haven't heard it before already!):

I like the fact that you could practically loop this song forever and not notice. -

What is it with me and always having random bouts of inspiration when I'm NOT AT MY COMPUTER?? With 6.5 hours left before I can go home, my mind is brimming with ways to polish up some of the editing I've done in the past few weeks, but I can guarantee you that the moment I actually DO step into my apartment, I'm not going to feel like working on it any more. I'll probably just squander the evening playing Diablo II. Oh well...I just sent myself an e-mail so that I won't forget all the ideas I'm having right now.
I've got a broken blister on the bottom of my feet now, along with the two on my hands. Kendo class was fun but brutal yesterday.
Bah. Scroodis. Going to lunch. -

EK: Just got out of meetings, and for some reason I can't get to my e-mail right now, so maybe you'll see this. Great song! Not many 10-minute songs can hold my attention.
