Distractions and Roadblocks
2001-10-22 13:36:27
I bought a kick ass new PS2 game this weekend called Devil May Cry. Holy shit that game fucking rules! Best action game I've played in a long time and it's actually pretty difficult in some parts. So it's been eating up my time lately and therefore, nothing majorly new to report on my latest video. Heh, I'm such a lazy bum sometimes.
Not only am I distracted with the new game, but I'm kind of at a roadblock on the concept of my video. I know how I want it to begin and end, but the middle is a bit fuzzy. I'm sure once I sit down and look at some footage I'll figure it out, but right now it's kind of in limbo. Oh well, I'll figure something out. Just hope it doesn't suck!

So.....cold.......freezing......nuts off...............

Got a touch of cold weather here this morning. Got down into the mid-30s and there was some frost on my car. *sigh* I hate cold weather. Weather's getting a bit mixed here too because it's going to be rather chilly the rest of this week and for the weekend it's supposed to be warm again. Heh, gotta love this South Carolina weather! :P
Somehow another music video idea popped into my head yesterday. I won't reveal anything about it right now, but I will say it will be my first attempt at comedy. As far as my current project goes I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get it to work. I know what I want to do, but making the video work like I want is the hard part. I know the voice clips and music I want to use, but integrating the Anime to it is looking to be quite a chore. I'm going to do it, but whether it turns out well remains to be seen. I'll do my best.

At last, the beginning of my new video
2001-10-17 08:20:40
Finally found some time last night to get cracking on a new video I want to make. The video that is screaming to get out of my head is going to be called "A Robotech Tribute to Star Trek". What I plan on doing is using the main theme from Star Trek III and mix in some voice clips from Star Trek II (my favorite of all Star Trek movies). Then I'll set the video clips from the Macross part of Robotech to the music and voice. What I did last night was skim through Star Trek II to find the voice clips I wanted to use. After doing that I realized that this video is going to be very difficult, but I'm going to take it one step at a time. My next step will be to capture the voices off of the tape and mix it in with the music I have. Once that is done I hope things will get a bit easier. But mixing in the voices with the music will probably be a difficult task. Hope I can get this to work. Hopefully I'll also have some time this evening to do some work on it. We'll see I guess.
That's all to report for now. Everyone have a great day!

My Web Site and a small comment
2001-10-16 16:24:27
Finally have decided that my website needs revamping. Heh, I haven't updated it in months. Going to totally dedicate it to my videos instead of anime in general. My problem with the current design is that there is just too much on there for me to constantly update. I really wanted to try, but found that I really didn't have the time. To top it off, I design sites for a living and when I get home I really don't want to touch anything development wise. So if anyone's interested I should have a new site developed by December.
I want to make a small comment for those of you who may be worried about the Anthrax news. DON'T BE AFRAID. If this is indeed a terrorist act then we'll nail the suckers who did this. Let's remember that there are millions of people in the United States and the cases of Anthrax on the news are just a handful of people. From what I understand there is a treatment for this disease. Yes, it is disturbing to hear about this sort of thing especially when those assholes over in Afghanistan keep making threats. So I encourage everyone who reads this to not be afraid because if we are (and this has been stated by many) then the terrorists have already won.
Take care y'all and enjoy the rest of the day!

Damn Yankees and other stuff.

Fucking A's had a chance to put the Yanks away 3 times and the blew it!!! Grrr....I'm tired of seeing them win every freaking year!! I hope Seattle destroys them in the ALCS. Also hoping the Braves continue their winning ways today in the NLCS. Would be nice to see them make one last run at the World Series since their pitching staff is aging. Diamondbacks have a damn good team so they'll be tough to beat. As long as the Yankees don't make the World Series I'll be happy though. If it wasn't for Steinbrenner I might not hate the Yankees so much. He's such an asshole!
Noticed that Kiki's Delivery Service was showing on the Disney channel last night. It was already halfway over when I saw it was on, but thanks to my wonderful Directv system I was able to tape the western feed that showed at Midnight here. Never saw the movie so I'll probably check it out this evening.
I'm hoping to get started on my next video this week sometime. I've said this before, but keep getting sidetracked. Going to try and make some time this week though! Also going to see if I can snag a copy of Star Wars Ep. I today at lunch. From what I've read it's going to have plenty of extras! Should be good.
