Fun statistics
2001-12-28 15:13:25
I just checked through the web logs, and found some pretty cool stats.
2000 people have downloaded AVIs of the videos I've made.
91 have downloaded .mpg files.
2 have downloaded .mpeg files.
1662 people have downloaded "Just a girl"
427 downloads have been made of the Update versions (Before the rough cut) of Semi-Charmed Life.
12 downloads of the rough cut version of Semi-Charmed Life have been made.
The two busiest days were 11-16 and 11-17, during which 433 downloads and 350 downloads (respectively) were reported. 12-17 and 11-21 were tied for third with 112 downloads apiece on each day. -
Finally they're up! (Maze Music Video)
2001-12-28 13:49:35
After much fighting with the server, FINALLY the Maze videos have been uploaded. Don't ask me how, but they are. These versions include the promised footage from the OAV series. As I noted on the download page, these are the last versions I will make public before I premiere the video. There are still numerous timing issues in the video that I wish to correct, and a few weird looking time distortions which need work, but this is basically the footage that will be used, and the order it will be used in.
I uploaded an MPEG-1 version for people who can't play the DIVX or MPEG 2 versions of the video. I would advise you to remember that the highest quality version is the DIVX version, then MPEG-2, then MPEG-1, and the DIVX is smaller than either MPEG in size, and has a larger frame size. -
Maze AMV Rough Cut
2001-12-27 18:57:40
The rough cut of the Maze AMV will be up soon. I've been told people are having trouble viewing the videos, so I'll make this very simple.
Primarily I use the DIVX codec, so download it from http://www.divx.com/
I've also been posting this video in MPEG 2 format. You need an MPEG 2 codec for this. If you have a DVD player on your computer, use it to view this!
And, for anyone who cannot for whatever reason use either of the above codecs, I'm also posting in MPEG 1 format. This means I take an hour and a half to encode all three formats. I'm not happy about this, and the MPEG versions are MUCH LOWER QUALITY. Especially the MPEG 1 version, so visit http://www.divx.com/ to get the codec for the HIGHEST QUALITY video I'm posting. -
Yet another Maze update
2001-12-23 07:51:27
Ok, it's done... the rough cut of the Maze video is here. I went through, and added a few scenes from the OAV, and will be doing some scene swapping no doubt, but the first rough cut is FINALLY complete.
This cut is NOT AVAILIBLE FOR GENERAL DOWNLOADING YET! I'm going to be circulating it among my peers on campus first, and making some cosmetic changes, and doing some error correction. As soon as the video has been perused, and people assure me the visual and timing errors (I know there are a couple) are gone, I'll post this version.
At that time, the current video links will disappear, to be replaced (once again) by the newest version. I will make an MPEG2 version availible again for all you Mac people... I know DIVX on a Mac can be a pain. (Divx on PC can be a pain...)
WARNING: The updated video HAS SOME NUDITY. This is because of me being a hentai, but also because it fits this song pretty well. It's not much... you can BARELY make out a nipple. -
Maze of the Haze Video Update
2001-12-22 22:14:52
After much procrastination, I'm finished with Finals. Much rejoycing. Playing video games and watching anime for the past three days has helped me to forget every ounce of Japanese I learned this semester except for "iya" and "atashi no naka ni deru" (If you don't know, don't ask...)
In any event, I have FINALLY replaced all the old footage in my Maze Video, and found that in several clips I forgot to turn off the subtitles. (oops) None of those unfortunate clips are currently in use, but no doubt two of them will end up in the finished product.
I'm uploading the newly recut version, which is somewhere in the range of 50% done. My video editor isn't being very good about telling me just how close I am due to a few of the odd ways I'l timing everything, but you'll get the idea. This version HAS MANY SPOILERS! I can't say what happens isn't expected, but still, if you think this will ruin the anime for you, don't watch this version all the way through! The BIG spoilers come toward the end of the song after the huge lapse of no actual video clips.
It does look like there are some compression errors, sorry... not gonna fix it... this video by next week will have so many more clips that it's just not worth the time to re-render it.
