I suck.
My storyboarding sucks. I can't keep a motif for any longer than ten seconds to save myself. My storylines float around in some nebulous miasma for about two minutes, and pop out again raped, diseased, destroyed.
My digital effects suck. They're the old edit-frame-by-frame-oh-my-fucking-god-you-suck-can't-get-that-one-pixel-right tricks, and everything that I'm not stupid enough to NOT do frame-by-frame is just crap.
My timing sucks. Everything is timed to subtle details, and nobody is ever going to pick it up. And I can't fix the video to sync to more prominent hints, because that'll fuck everything else up, if it is indeed possible to fuck up an already fucked up video.
This video sucks. It's one of those things you realize: you say that you want to make AMVs for yourself, and then you realize:
Holy shit, I am a whore.
I want to make things people like. I want to make things people will slap me on the ass for and say "good job, boy". I want to make people happy.
I can't do it.
I suck. -

I should note: We now have 6 computers in this residence hall room. Two workstations, two servers, and two laptops.
The amount of computing power in this room is simply insane. -

At Rose-Hulman. Wahoo.
Class load is what I expected -- it's quite hard, but nothing that will bite me in the ass (in a few months I'll probably eat my words). All data survived, though I can't motivate myself to work on my WoH project. Only got five seconds in...
...been playing around with the laptop RH gave me :D It's a Compaq Evo N800c, if anybody is looking for specs. Really, really nice machine.
Looks like I missed a lot of forum posts, and I also missed Klinky Engrishizing Cinelerra. Oh well.
Back to work. -
hmm

Moving to Rose-Hulman this afternoon; got my editing workstation, render server, and all kinds o' miscellaneous crap packed up. Hopefully, my data (all 70-80 gigs of it) will remain intact.
Otherwise... -
Ugh.

I think I figured out why there aren't that many "pure" Wings of Honneamise videos. Even fewer that attempt psychological analyses.
It's hard.
Very hard.
I think I've deleted the first 20 seconds of Project Three about twelve times now.
