  • 2002-08-28 12:43:37 Tapestry Allusion is awesome!!! Never doubt the power of the "A", Omni. I'll see if I can throw together a little clip showing you what I did your Tapestry Illusion effect after work tonight. It's the same basic effect, I just went about a different way of getting it. I think my way leaves me more options to work with in terms of applying FX to the outer edge of video. Not neccasarily more ways, just different ways. Plus I don't have to worry about that glitch this way either. I'll show it you later, but for now I need to go get ready to sleep through Art 33

  • 2002-08-28 10:02:53 So sleepy..............

    I actually dozed off in my last class. Luckily it was college algebra, so I didn't miss anything I didn't already know. I just kind of hard to stay awake with some guy going on and on about the quadratic formula....

    I'm not even going to try to stay awake in Ancient Art. I'm walking in, signing the roll sheet, going to the upper left corner, and it will be lights out for me. I should have much of a problem in japanese though. That's the reason I'm so sleepy now. Being up to 1:30 and 2 in the morning learning the rest of the Hiragana for this test today. I had about 4 hours of sleep last night...

    Anyways, I'm going to hopefully get the opening of Shinkakuruu done now....

  • Official Announcement.... 2002-08-27 12:05:49 2008 hits!!!

    My new goal is 5000....


    Yay!!!!!!!!! My Ayumi Hamasaki cd arrived in the US warehouse of Yesasia.com, and was offically shipped out to me this morning. It is probably aboard some USPS truck/plane on it's way to North Carolina right now. It should be here tomorrow, but no later then Thursday!! Hopefully tomorrow!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    I have ripped and converted all of my clip from Shamanic Princess, and Jubei-chan now. This video is taking a different direction though. I think I may need to go out in search of more anime girls that "evolve". Sailor Moon come to mind. I don't know, we will just have to wait and see. Hopefully I can get to editting by the end of next week...

    I'm ready to announce the title though... Shinka suru means to evolve(biologically), if I'm remembering correctly. Kuru is a verb meaning come. However since Shinka suru is a verb, I can't put Shinka suru kuru I don't think. That would be come to "evolve", 2 verbs. I don't think that works right. The noun Shinka alone means progress, so I can put Skinka kuru, meaning come progress, but I can translate it loosely as come evolve, I think. Keep in mind I have very VERY limited japanese knownledge, so these translations could be completely off. Regardless to what the actual translation is, I'm calling this vid Shinkakuruu, and obvious play on Odorikuruu...^_^. I just combined Shinka and kuru, and added an extra u. I'm not sure if the combined words and extra u change the meaning of it or not. It doesn't matter how improper it is, I like the sound of it, and reference to Odorikuruu. I don't care what it really means. I'm sure my translation is somewhat accurate. Perhaps it means to progess in extacy(sp?)..^_^ It doesn't matter. Anyways, Shinkakuruu is officalliay announced...

    Not sure, but this could "evolve" into my F(t)tR vid. It wasn't originally planned as such, but you never know. After I see how it is turing out I'll decide for sure............

    My battery is almost dead, 19 minutes left. There's an hour before class starts though. What am I going to do?? Damn converting vobs taking so much power....

    One final note, see if you can guess the song I'm using. If you read the entry carefully, you can figure it out........

  • Corrected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2002-08-27 09:07:03 It was brought to my attention that my Amuro Namie mp3 didn't work, so it has been replaced. Not just by a working copy of itself, but of a whole different song all together. Which one you ask? You will just have to go see for yourself now want you...

  • Look at what I can do...^_~ 2002-08-26 22:32:57 My Ayumi Hamasaki cd is now in transit, so it should be here in 2 days....^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

    That's how happy I am. One ^_^ couldn't express it enough. I need 13 of them.....

    Let's take on final trip to my boredom page. I just wrote out the 38 hiragana characters I have learned so far in my Japanese class. Sure, they are a little messy, and anyone who can read it will probably have a hard time recognizing them, but it's hard to write in Photoshop with the airbrush. I can write them A LOT better with my brush pen. It's just too much work to write them all out, and scan them. If I did that I wouldn't be bored anymore......

    Anyways, the Amuro Namie mp3 is still up, along with my "enjoyable" background...^_^. Since the page is full now, I will have to take it all off next time around and start from scratch. I will probably put another mp3 up. Perhaps by then I will be able to write a sentence or two in japanese, instead of just 38 characters..........

    So finally here's the link for all who don't know...
