  • So, THATS how you do keyframes!! 2002-08-27 22:22:08 ELEANOR, THANK YOU!!

    (not that she'll EVER see this...)

    I volunteered at my campuses student-run TV station, and I went in today to do some programming. I met Eleanor, who apparently knows a LOT about Premiere. She showed me how to do keyframes on various effects to get them to do all kinds of nifty stuff.

    I practiced for myself, and realized just what I had been missing.

    KEYFRAMES ROXXOR!!

    Thank you, Eleanor!! 
  • I think I'm in love with the AIM chat. 2002-08-26 00:36:35 I haven't really gone to the .org chat room much before, once or twice but never participated much. I went in today and had a pretty good time conversing with people. You choose Sam, The Rest, XenoDrake, DJ_Izumi, I hope I can see you guys around the chatroom again sometime. 
  • Subject? What subject? 2002-08-25 10:07:26 ShonenDizzyCow's new vid, Eva Potential, knocked my fuggin socks off yesterday. Chesus Jrist, if you haven't seen that video yet, go get it now. It's incredibly addictive.

    Now for something completely different.

    Sometimes, I contemplate not going to Off Topic anymore. All the people who put up idiotic spam crap just to get their post count up are really turning me off to OT. But, then I remember the good stuff that sometimes pops up, like my philisophical debates with Aaron (SecondChild) and Flint_the_Dwarf, and the interesting conversations and tidbits of information that people post.

    So, I most likely won't leave OT. I can still find things in it that are worth going back too.

    I just wish that the spammers would stop posting crap just to be annoying, especially when it completely changes the subject of the conversation for no good reason (C'mon, Kamoc, the pics of April O'Neil with "Stizzacked" written on them are getting REALLY old.). Oh, well, I can't stop them, and they have a right to say what they want to say too.

    I don't have to like it, though. 
  • The happiness had to end sometime... 2002-08-21 19:23:54 Is it a bad thing when you feel too melancholy to rant about how depressed you're feeling?

    ...Sometimes, I think EK is thinking of people like me when she talks about how much she hates "whiny NIN wannabe-goths".

    Or something like that, anyway. I tried to look up the exact phrase in her journal, but I couldn't find it. She may have made it private.

    Damn. Please don't hate me, EK, I'm quite personable in person, once I warm up to people. ;)

    Well, on a different note, my roomate, Adam, said something to me today that made me feel happy. I was listening to music and mucking around on Ol' Betsy (I will never call my computer that again...) and he said to me "Dude, Dave, I don't mean this as an insult or anything, but you have, like, the most diverse tastes in music of anyone I've ever met."

    My exact reply to that was "Heh. Even if you HAD meant it as an insult, I would have taken it as a compliment."

    I ::heart:: my diverse musical tastes. ^_^ 
  • Inspiration!! Woot!! 2002-08-18 22:40:26 Ok. Here was my problem. I had clips for a little more than half of the song for my new video, about 65% of the song was covered. I was having trouble coming up with clips from Tenchi Forever that would work. Then it occured to me to ask myself "Which is more important, to have the whole song covered, and thus risking filler which will hurt the video as a whole; or to have the whole video work, at the expense of cutting out part of the song?"

    Guess which option I chose?

    Good job grasshopper.

    I cut out the first instance of the chorus and the second section of lyrics. I threw out 35% of the song. Tough choice, I love the song and would love to be able to use the whole thing, but I feel REALLY good about the decision from an editing standpoint. I feel that it will be better for the video as a whole than stuffing in filler just to take up space, or repeating footage needlessly.

    Especially when I have been looking through and through Tenchi Forever, and can't find good clips to fit the section I cut out.

    Yep, I feel really good about the cut. I'd rather that the video be shorter than have an entire minute and a half or so of filler and needlessly repeated footage.

    I feel happy!!

    I swear, I love making videos.
