  • That's enough... 2002-02-25 00:45:34 Everyone's into posting those damn scary pictures and stuff, so here's a quick tutorial on how to make your very own with premiere:
    1. Make a new file, and make sure the base is about 120 and keep the 4:3 ratio.
    2. Take a picture off your computer. Most any picture will do, but a picture of scenery will work better. most new computers come with some already on them. I used those.
    3. Change the duration from 5 seconds to around 15. Place it in video track 1.
    4. Import another picture, this time the one that gonna freak 'em out. Basically, you could take a picture of some random person and distort it, if you want. It'll only show for a brief period of time.
    5. In the last frames of the first picture, place this in track 2. make its duration around 5 frames or something like that, to make it just flash.
    6. Mess with the fades etc on the "scary" picture to make it so it's only visible in one part (mine was based on the original, you don't have to do this part, but this is how I made mine)
    7. When you're finished, hit Export movie, then go to properties. Change the file type to .gif and save it as whatever you want it to be called.

    Congrats, the mystery is over. 
  • Yes, I am alive again. (for now) 2002-02-20 00:53:17 K, here's an update of my life:
    Me:We diagnosed my problems as depression, and I'm getting counseling. However, they are also symptoms of Heavy metal poisoning which it is possible I have as well.

    Videos: Ack. I'm working on so many right now. I'm working on:

    "Another Anime Day" (not the final title), a various anime work-in-progress.

    "Manga Maniac" (porbably final title), also a various anime, but this one is going to have a lot more effects than the one above (I thin that's the way it'll turn out, at least)

    "Reese's commercial" (best name for it at the time) It's a parody of the old "how does... eat a reese's" using CCS. I's really short, and I have no idea why it's not done.

    "Muppets" (another unknown final title) Also a CCS parody. A lot longer, and video availibility problems are the cause of this one not being done.

    "Rain at the Masaki's" A tenchi video, with a Cowboy bebop song. I use a lot of Cowboy bebop songs. Anyway, This video is actually the OFFICIAL back-burner video, and the other's I'm sloughing off on :)

    "Twilight" This is going to be a true piece of work. I recently fell in love with the 3d Animation program we use at school, and decided to do an entire music video by myself. Take that, Mainframe! (read up on their history to understand)

    I have one secret project that, if it succeeds at all, will make way for my trump card. The secondary secret video will be at least one year in the making, unlike my other vids which take like a week. >:P

    Downloads:
    Here's the deal.I can't find any working hosting that I can afford. (for those who are interested, my budget is $0.00) I'm gonna stick my vids on kazaa, and for anyone who really want them, Look me up on AIM (ImNotAPineapple) and I'll send it to you. I don't think I'll ever find hosting, so Beh.

    Living/dead/undead:
    I am currently semi-unliving.

    Thank you, and have a nice day.

    Oh, also, the two vids that are done- On "My dog ein," the layer transparencies didn't work right, so 3/4 of the video is shot. I'm doing maintenance on that when I finish some of my other vids. On "Cheer up Vash" I've decided I didn't like 2 parts of it, and I'm gonna rethink it. The video was supposed to show his personality in its entirety (SP?) And these two clips were essential to it, but it ruins the mood. I may keep one, or the other, or neither.

    So in other words, I have no vids for you. I'll update when I do have one. 
  • Guhh...... brains.... 2002-01-16 00:49:58 *gasp* luscious human brains!

    My mind stopped working sometime arlier today. My spelling is terrible, but I still manage to catch mistakes. I'm typing at about 1/16 normal speed, and I can't seem to stand up with trying real hard. So it's true. School really is draining the life out of me. I recently got some info on Digipen, and now I'm pretty sure I'm royally scrwed when it comes to getting into college. That fucking sucks. I can't get my grades up no matter hard how I try, and my japanese teacher is against me. I'll be lucky to make it to Japanese 3. But the teacher's being such a bitch to me, I'm not sure I want to stay in the cvlass. This is a big thing, since the only class that kept me going last year was japanese. And now I don't think I can do it anymore. I want SO badly to go to japan, but I just get the fealing that it's not gonna happen. I'll be in the highest japanese class in our school by the time the oppurtunit comes along again, and she'll choose some sophmore over me. That's happened to a couple of other students already. Amanda Denend, one of the coolest girls I know (also a major hjottie) is pretty good at speaking japanese, and she isn't going because the teacher chose this annoying little psycho kid over her. I see that coming. 
  • Well.... damn 2002-01-04 00:46:51 Christ. <--Just to keep up the pattern.
    I read Seta's whole thing about anime becoming the next pogs. I'd love to see it reach such a level that people know what anime is, so they can compare it to pogs. At least in my town. I'm thinking 15 people out of a good couple thousand know and watch anime.
    Another thing about Seta's post. I agree. Mainstream anime suxx0rs. Mainstream anything sucks. Music, TV, books, anime, AMVs (Read: DBZ AMVS).
    Speaking of DBZ AMVs, I read on the video announcement board "Im new but please rate my DBZ vids" I immediately think, "ok, 0. 0. 0. 0. and 00. lacks creativity in anime choice, and bad choice of anime in general. Try Digimon next, and if that fails, then do pokémon. sooner or later you'll earn yourself a reputation. It isn't going to be good, but hey, that's what you get for making a DBZ video."
    I hate DBZ. why can't it just end? or Cartoon Network blow up?
    What I really like is Adult Swim. "Should not be viewed by children under 18" Why? you might see a censored ass? or hear a swear word? Hell, swear words are in star trek. Then I flip the channel. Comedy Central. TV funhouse, "not reccomended for under 17" Has to do with sex, prostitution, masturbation, drugs, nudity, and is overall low quality humor ( love that show). Let's see.
    17-I drink, do drugs watch porn, etc. etc...
    18-I can finally hear the word "damn"
    Let's hear it for dumbasses. 
  • God damn it. I hate my life. 2001-12-30 03:20:59 Christ. Sometimes I really hate my life. Anime tonight, yay! Supposed to help me forget how bad my life is. Instead, somehow it's managed to make me remember more than I do when I try not to think about it. I try to be nice to people. Try to be kind, courteous, and helpful. Look where it's gotten me. Flynn could have any of the girls there he wants. I can look at some of them. Yay. The other has hurt me already. I can hardly bear to look at her. And whenever I do, it just reminds me of all the times before. Just one more reason I keep moving on to new interests. I'm trying to escape this life. I'd rather be on the computer all day than face what's going to happen when I leave my room.
    I've decided that I'm not bringing my anime to anime night any more. Every time I do, we watch five minutes of it, and everyone else doesn't want to watch it. I've had Ranma, Niea, Rane, basically all my anime. I've stopped offering some of it just because I knew they wouldn't even like me suggesting it. So screw it. I don't care that we're in the middle of one of my movies. I'm not bringing it anymore. Another case where I try to be helpful and no one appreciates it. Flynn can go out and rent his own damn anime.
    And school starts next fucking week. So I get to start waking up at 5:30AM again. then wait until 3 o'clock in the fucking afternoon before I even get to come home and do something I want to do. At least, until my mom comes in and makes me do chores, homework, etc, etc. Then they complain about me staying up late. I'm trying to do something I want to. God, I hate school. One more reason for me not to help Adobe find software pirates. They money goes to school that are crap like mine. So, my choices:
    1. Tell Adobe, "Oh, I'm using illegal software." get helluva fucking fines, lose the software, and in the process, my school gets enough money to buy another textbook for us to read.
    2. Tell Adobe, "Fuck it, I'll do whatever I damn well please." Keep making AMVs, and the school continues to suffer.
    One thing that's interesting- All these school shootings. The people who commit them are people who got made fun of for a year or something, then just lost it. I have been made fun of my entire fucking life, and I have yet to do a damn thing about it. The guys who actually go out and kill people. They're pussies. Total fucking pansies. Can't even deal with some minor emotional baggage. Hell, at least they had friends who they could coordinate something like that with. I don't even have friends.
    Why can't someone go blow up my school or something? It would make my life a hell of a lot easier. If they ever go through the trouble, I hope they wait until my sister's there, while they're at it. And thus, the two main problems in my life gone.
    Stupid little bitch. Acts like everything is at her disposal, whenever she needs it. Of course, you can't even touch her door without her getting mad at you. I'm still trying to find out what the penalty is for theft by a minor. I may not do full amount, but I sure as hell will at least do half of the fines, etc.
    Why do I even continue trying to work on anything. I'll get bored of my project in a couple of weeks and I'll stop working on it. Then a month later I'll forget what the file is and delete it. Then move on to new interests. And get screwed up by that as well.
    The one time I tried to get a job, I got the job and they switched ownership while I was on vacation. It became a complete shithole to work in. I was one of the only people actually working, and I stuck with it for a year. At the time I was hired, I was one of two minors working there. By december that year I was one of the three oldest people, not including the owners. What really sucks is the fact that in the month I quit, I quit because everyone else who had been there longer was quitting. Which would mean I would get stuck supervising everything. At minimum wage. So I quit. And so The owner gave everyone who stayed a pay raise. Including the people who had worked there for a month. I worked for exactly a year there, and got nothing but the annual Minimum Wage increase. This is why I should stop trying.
    It's not that my feelings are negative. It's that my way of life has become negative all around.
