“V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N.”

Nope, I'm not on vacation, the song is.
Updated my profile again, so I cut even more fat from it and added more goodies (like my musical taste), which might come in useful one day I'm guessing.
Also re-did my TOP 10 anime lists as well to remove the redundant entries but I wish the TOP 10 videos list would automatically be the TOP 10 on your opinion list so you don’t have to update each time you watch a new cool video, or you want to re-arrange the order.
Anyways it’s a good time to pop over for some reading if you’re itching for stuff to do (or download/review) ^_^.
Yesterday I had a couple of new music video ideas pop into my head, and one particularly evil one, made to a particular movie or possibly even movies. I think I better keep that one to myself. I get laughing fits when I think of it. Time, I need more time.

“Yeah all those stars drip down like butter”

I like the idea of naming journal entries from lyrics of whatever you are listening to at the moment. A like random ideas.
Why can’t more convention contests provide uploading/FTP submissions? It rather depressing for people who live far, far away to enter contests, especially when they don’t have convenient tape-output facilities….
So no Katsu for me since they decided to only accept tradition old fashioned VHS tapes ONLY. I sure could do with a frequent con-going proxy….any other creators interested? ^_^
So here I am scouring for contest that allows digital submissions. Or at least one that accepts CDRs. Until then I keep on working on my next video. My premiere is still acting funny, but it’s better now that I can actually work on videos again, which means that if you enjoyed my videos, there will be more coming along soon. -
The numbers..........

Well since I've just reached a 1000 hit on my profile (not my journal, that's only 157) I thought I mention that. Also, 2 weeks ago, Evangelion Opus surpassed over 1000 downloads, my first video ever to do so, not to mention it's my newest video on this site. However I still think many Eva fans still don't know of it's existance though.
<plug>If you are reading this and you are an Eva fan, I'll would like to recommend it.</plug>
Recently I've upgraded to Win XP and still am in the midst of ironing out a number of issues, one of which is Premiere 6, so I can't continue working on my projects until that is solved....
The good news is that since the last update, I've watched, Jin-Roh (Awesome), and Knocking on Heaven's Door (Good) and snippets of Noir, Beserk, Hellsing, Nadesico and Sexy Commando Gaiden Sugoiyo Masaru-san! It's been fun! -
Order or Chaos?

I've always been curious about the process of creation.
From reading up on quite a number of people’s journals over time, I am guessing that most people make their videos in a linear fashion, as they would start at 0.00 and work their way towards the end of the song. All in a very orderly fashion.
However this method is one I do not use anymore, as I am very chaotic when I make videos, I have no set pattern, sometimes I start at the end of the video first, or work on totally separate parts of the video, or the obvious/favorite parts first and fill in the blanks as they slowly link up. I’m not sure how many others shared this method of video making. You could say I 'write' my videos in invisible ink. As in having no concrete plans, but rely mostly on just the 'feel'. The strange thing is when I first started 5 years ago, I was one of the 'orderly' but I guess things change. ^_^ Well, it seems to be working so far...
Of course, there is no right or wrong way, but it got me wondering which camp is larger....?
Are *you* a member of order or chaos? -
Today's Makings.

I’m never good at estimating what percentage of completion my videos are in before they become ‘complete’ whenever people ask me. The answer gradually ramps up to 90-95% and stays there for like half the eventual total time. Chalk it to a habit of undergoing an error-spotting phase and being real picky of my own videos. I want them to be GOOD and I want to be happy that I’ve made them. In the end it’s never full complete but one has to leave it when one is 99% satisfied with it I guess.
Oh, I made a video today.
Well, almost. While it’s not complete (it’s reached the mid-way 90% point) it’s one of the quickest videos I’ve ‘done’ in recent memory. All my previous ones probably took over 40 hours, and across weeks, with Eva Opus well over 100+ hours and months in total. In a way I’m glad. But I’m not skimping or anything for it’s a short video so it doesn’t get so complicated like *that video* or *that other video*.
Today was productive. I like.
