JOURNAL: Samuraiko (Michelle Travis)

  • I must be a glutton for punishment... 2006-03-14 23:40:00 I am just going to keep making these damned things until I GET A WORTHY ONE! That should have been my New Year's Resolution...

    "I solemnly swear I will keep making AMV banners until I make one that gets voted as worthy, after which I will cease and desist my efforts."

    On the bright side, I am really starting to get the hang of PhotoShop. 
  • Still no luck... 2006-03-05 09:44:56 Neither banner made it to "worthy" status. Damn. And to top it off, the site I bought my computer from sent me the wrong memory, which means I have to send it back. ARGH!

    I find myself debating what song to do next for my videos... I have so many ideas, and I really hate waiting for the new computer. It just takes way too long to copy DVDs at this point, there has to be a faster way to do it (I like my program - I use ImToo DVD Ripper, which works well enough for me, at least for now). Especially since I hate recycling footage - if I'm doing a new video, I want new clips! 
  • Okay, so I lied... 2006-02-26 20:59:12 I made another banner, after I said I wasn't going to. Actually, I made two. We'll see what happens with these - they're pending votes at the moment. Although, I have to admit that the one I'm looking at right now at the top of the screen is really cool. (I save some of my favorites on my computer.) 
  • Yay! New video! 2006-02-24 22:11:05 I haven't put it on here yet (I'll do that when I get to work on Sunday, I hope), and it's really short, and I'm not quite certain what to call it yet. But I'll think of something. And I think it's the fastest I've made a video yet. I started it Thursday at around 5pm (that's when I started copying clips into it), stopped at around 9:30pm or so to go to sleep (hey, I get up at 4am for work, force of habit), got up again at around 8 or so Friday morning, and finished it about 9am. And voila!

    I like it a lot, it's the fastest paced video I've done yet.

    For the potentially curious, it's a SAMURAI 7 video done to "Too Many Notes, Not Enough Rests" by Hans Zimmer (from the film DROP ZONE). 
  • And on and on it goes... 2006-02-19 14:54:28 For some reason, the computer company I ordered my stuff from didn't process my order. So I have half a computer. Much good that does me.

    On the bright side, I storyboarded out yet ANOTHER video idea (I am not going to have a weekend for six years at this rate).

    I am trying to think of a good MADLAX video to do, but haven't yet had divine inspiration strike. Also temporarily taking a break from banners, it's damned depressing to try so often and fail so often.
