Official production....
2002-07-11 21:19:34
Reviews have been posted for mj, and Omni. So now, I want to review one more of Damaramu's, and xtrunkzx's vid if it will ever dl completely instead of stopping halfway thorugh. I'm also in desperate need to see Sierra's new vid, but the FTP is down.
Production on my new vid offically began today. I don't have any editting done yet, but I got the DVD ripped completely, and the song ripped. So all that's left now is to just edit. This is my first time using straight DVD rips before, and it's kind of tedious, only being able to see the preview screen when it's streched full size, but in the end the quality will be worth it. The video, or at least the plan is to be very visual, full of imagery and what not, so the video quality really needs to be good. This will also be my first attempt and any kind of lip synching. I usually avoid it, becuase it is so hard to get something to synch up right, and not feel mechanical. This video however needs it to tell it's story. Hopefully, I'm going to be able to make this project. I is terrible to have an awesome video idea in your head, and not have experience, or talent to make the vid decent. And I think this vid might be a little over my head. I'm stepping back from the upbeat, dancing, pop music vids like my last two, and moving into and emotional, dramatic, artistic video, hopefully. We shall just have to wait and see...

I know there was a big argument going on awhile back with ErMaC and Anneke, and all hell was breaking loose. I avoided that becuase I don't know anything about cons or what their rules and restrictions are, so anything I said would just be speculation. I read ErMaC's last entry, then dl'ed and watched his video. I don't know the whole story, so maybe I'm missing something somewhere, but he has a point. I didn't see anything explicit in his video. Only thing that could have caused any problems would have been a few sounds that only lasted for a little while. Nothing worth censoring or anything. Personally, I found that section to be quite hilarious. It reminded me of that Leslie Nielson movie, think it was "Spy Hard"...
Now if I'm missing the bigger picture, then someone please let me know the rest of the details. For now, my official stand on this situation is, I'm backing ErMaC. I liked the vid. I've never been to any cons, so I don't know if it was worthy or not, but it's one I will keep on my HD, and thats all that matters to me....

Well, I'm about 90% certain of my next project. I'm pushing aside Felt the Rhythm for now. I have about 2 vids or so I want to make before I dive head first into something I might not be able to handle. Don't worry, Omni, its coming. I just want a little more control over Premiere and Photoshop before I slaughter a tribute to you, which hopefully won't happen with the extra experience that should come from the next couple vids....
Anyways, my current project, or what will be my current project soon is a Shamanic Princess video. I know that much. I'm also about 95% sure of the song I'm going to use, but another song keeps trying to sneak it. I may end up doing two Shamanic Princess vids. They will be a couple if I do this though. Kind of like my own little 2 video series. I'm not going to announce the songs just yet, not until I'm sure. I'm going to go ahead and rip Shamanic Princess to my HD tomorrow. Hopefully this video project will offically start by the first of next week....
Your 2 reviews are coming Omni, so is yours mj. I plan on having them done tomorrow. So keep an eye out. Xtrunksx, I hate to be the one to cancel a swap, but I could never get your link to work, and I don't like real media. Just assume I never posted on the forum. I have your other review to do too Damaramu, but since it's not and "owed" review so to speak, it is being saved for last....
One other project announcement real quick.....
Project: Get Into the Groove.....
3 vids:
one with Serpentine Fire by Earth, Wind and Fire(not sure about this one)
one with Let's Groove Tonight also by Earth, Wind and Fire
Final vid using Tsutomu's theme from the Bust A Groove 2 OST
Nothing offical, just an idea that I throwing out.....
More to come...

Hmm,so this is what complete boredom is like huh. You would think being as bored as I am I would go write those 3 reviews I'm incredibly late on, but everytime I start writing them something goes wrong.....Don't worry Omni, and mj your reviews will get done soon.......
I thought I had photoshop fixed but I was wrong. It still crashes whenever I try to do ANYTHING. You gotta love programs that work.......
And to top it all off, I'm not sure how to finish that sentence. How much worse can it get...
<sarcasm>I guess I'll do something, oh wait I forgot, there's nothing to do....</sarcasm>
None of my AIM friends are on. Where are you Devo? You used to always be on. I haven't seen you these past few days. MJ is off browsing the forum. I was doing that, but nothing interesting was happening. Rei used up her 2 hours per day internet limit chatting with me this morning. You gotta love them AOL parental controls. How can someone live with 2 hours of internet a day, especially when its on a dial up? She can get like one vid a day if she's lucky, and it reasonably sized....
well, I'm going to go think about trying to review "Kagome's Heart" for the THIRD TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn you Photoshop......Damn you all to hell. I'm sorry, please come back to me....

Okay, so I take it Photoshop and XP don't get along too well huh...
Everytime I really get into an image Photoshop decides it's time to STOP WORKING AND FREEZE MY ENTIRE COMPUTER UP TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE TO PULL OUT THE BATTERY TO CUT IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are you doing this to me? Did I not treat you with respect. You're not even a pirated copy. You are the real thing. It's becuase of Premiere isn't it. You're jealous. I spend so much time with her and only see you occasionally. So I guess you've had it. No longer will you work for me. I see. That's how it's gonna be then. Well, I can play that game too. I'll just re-install MGI Photosuite. That's all I ever needed in the past. Screw your multiple layers, and awesome effects, and user friendliness(??), and the way you add soft light with the air brush, and the ease of blending, and transparencies. Who am I kidding, I need you. I can't survive with MGI, I would never make it. I promise to spend more time with you now. I won't completly give up my relationship with Premiere, but I will sacrifice a little more you. Just please work.....
Whoa!!!!! That got a little out of hand. I really REALLY need a girlfriend........^_^
I was making a Battle Ahtletes background, and it was looking awesome. I guess I should cave in and get the new Photoshop. I have version 4.0. Evidently it's not very XP compatiable.....
Well, that caused me not to be bored for a few minutes, now what can I do....
