JOURNAL: Digital_Dojo (John Crabtree)

  • 'Tis Done 2002-06-18 21:00:33 I have completed my new video. All that is left now is for me to run it through TMpeg and upload it. So, assuming everything goes fine it will be up tomorrow morning. I think it turned out quite good. I don't like it as much as "Tonight" but I think that is mostly because of the song. Despite how everyone else feels, I like J-Lo. My new video uses Brittany Spears, and I'm not a big fan of her. I really began to hate the song aobut 10 minutes into my first day of editting. I feel that the video is a better all around editted video, I just hate the song thus lowering my feelings for the entire video. Anyway I hope you don't let any of this stop you from dl'ing it....

    It is titled "Onyou no Yume." Look for it tomorrow....plz......^_^;

    In other news, I was looking through my new Animerica mag today, and frankly I'm quite upset. How can they do the 100 most sexy anime characters and leave out Shampoo???????? I think she should have been first on the list. There was however and awesome Lain figure in the mag. I forgot when it was going to be released, but it is Lain sitting in her pajamas. It was just awesome, and will be on my desk as soon as possible......

    I guess that's about it....

  • Prepare for venting {5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1} venting intiated(??)... 2002-06-13 16:19:22 All these years I've tried to figure out why I don't have any talent, and I've finally done it. The reason I don't have any talent is because Kevin Caldwell got IT ALL. Hey dude, would you mind sharing please. Toss a little talent this way. Don't worry, i'll credit you in the video.
    You, Duane Johnson, and Will Milberry could lend me just 1/10 of your talents, and I could create a true masterpiece. I would be forever gratefull. It's not like any of you would miss it. I'm mean between the 3 of you, what's 1/10. I'll give it right back, honest. Just one video. That's all I ask. One....

    And now that I'm through venting, back to editing my video....

    I'm sure you know how it is. You get frustrated trying to edit because nothing is coming out right, so you watch "Believe" by Kevin Caldwell, of "Dreams of Red" by Aluminum Studios and you realize just how much talent some people have. All the while you're sitting there trying to figure out how they make it look so easy...

    WHEN GOD....<sniffle>. WHEN DO I GET TO CREATE A MASTERPIECE...<sniffle>...

    And now that I've vented twice in this journal I would just like to say that my new video is coming together quite nicely, despite the numerous drawbacks that my journal entrys may hint to........

    DD <wondering if changing his name to Aluminum(Duane) Caldwell would make his videos any better...>

    Venting Successfull...... 
  • The wait of a life time... 2002-06-13 00:15:39 Poor MJ...

    First Tyson lost, then the Lakers won. You just can't catch a break can you. At least you got a new ride...^_^

    Anyways, I am now around 2:30 into my video. Just a little over a minute left to go. I hope to have it out in about a week. After such a rough start, it's really starting to come together nicely. And just think, I was about 10 secs away from scraping the whole project during the first day of editting......

    I'm now just waiting for Omni's "Full On" to finish downloading. I have 95%. Only 2 minutes left. I know I can feel 2 minutes worth of time. Lets see........

    Only 1 minute to go now....

    I had better go ahead an open media player....

    30 secs.....

    20 secs. It sure would suck if the DSL was to screw up now...

    Done...

  • Why do I do such useless entrys....... 2002-06-11 10:56:10 1030 views now. It's going pretty quick now that I'm making regular entrys again.........

    Anyway, I'm still about 1:20 into my video, even after an hour of work this morning. The 1:20 I have now is ALOT better than the 1:20 I had last entry. I won't get to edit again probably until about tomorrow night. I have closing shift at work tonight, and opening shift tomorrow. You gotta love those. I can probably get another hour in tonight, after work, before going to bed. I could just stay up editing all night, and leave for work in the morning without sleeping....hmmm....

    And now, my battery is giving me the old 5% power left, about to die crap, so I'd better go....

  • The way too long entry... 2002-06-10 20:41:26 well, it's done...

    1007 journal views. I have finally breached the 1000 mark. Whoo Hooo...

    1007 times the nonsense in this journal has been viewed. There are only about 3 entrys that are actually worth something. And they all came back in the rantings about hentai. I had a few rantings that meant something. Everything else is only non-sense...

    And keeping with that tradition...

    I just got back from a video store that is right up the road from my house. I've only been in there like twice before, so I never noticed it before, but they have an anime section. Well, not really a section. They have 4 animes mixed in with the kids section. I was searching through the PS2 games when my animedar(an-na-may-dar) went off. I turned my head to see what could cause such a disruption only to find Akira behind me(the movie, not the kid...^_^). So I thought hey, if they have Akira perhaps they have more. I'm a genius arn't I. Anyway, they ended up having four. Akira, Saber Marionette, Sins of the Sisters, and X. They were all in the kid section. I didn't think to browse through the action section. If they had those in the kid section though, that's probably all they had. I got X though. I'm going to get Saber Marionette and Sins of the Sister Wednesday. I was carrying any money with me, because I didn't plan on renting anything...

    In amv news, I'm now 1:20 into my Battle Athletes video. It's no "Believe" but I think it's fairly good. Of course me in all my amatuerness could never make a Kevin Caldwell worthy video.

    This has gotten way to long...

    So...
