JOURNAL: 8bit_samurai

  • im sorry i take that back 2006-08-29 02:22:53 squalls megamix was scrapped. but compared to the other scraps, it looks more like a make over. sigh. the past couple days i havent been thinkin clearly. there was somethin else i wanted to say, but i cant think of it now. doesnt matter. i have other ideas for amvs that require anime that i currntly dont have and/or i cannot process at the moment, but i doubt it if i suggest them anyone will take em. doesnt matter, i most likely forget em in a couple days, like the other ideas i had. i tihnk thats what i wanted to say, or type, which ever. i think i woke up to early and i think imna just download a couple random amvs (maybe not random) and hit the sack. i notice i been journalin alot recently, even though i spend most of the time forumin in the org hmm... i think i gotta resist temptation more often.... 
  • maybe i should go to sleep earlier, or when im tired. 2006-08-29 01:51:34 all the ideas i had for amvs have been scrapped one way or another. ever since i joined the org anyways. squalls megamix wasnt scrapped, but when i had the isea i never had the net, or atl east at the time. rinoas midnight walk, although was an idea, i never thought it all the way through prior to making it, being semi spur of the moment. seiferoth: the fonzes that couldve conquered the world was at first planned as two seperate fonzes, scrapped to add them together, and at the spur of the moment, when i was getting the idea for i want to conquer the world, decided to join the two and test out the downloaded custom effects. this is the part when i need to go to sleep when im tired. i watched the test version, then watched the original, it seemed fine. afterwards i decide to watch them again, and it seems the test version quality is not as good as mine. i think for now on. im going to wait to confirm uploads and not rush anything. well, actually i kinda rushed the parts i used the downloaded custom effects, but still. it could either be two things. the downloaded custom effects, or somethin happened while uploadin. anyways i wasted 3.5 hours. not really. i could use that for somethin else. if not, then it doesnt matter. oh yea, first day of classes went pretty good. 
  • sigh 2006-08-28 07:59:44 forgot its gonna take another half hour to save again. coulda done without the intro bein fxed, but its aright. probably wont sleep for while tonite. oh yea, five more wmvs for the intro. i think im gettin tired of wmm, and at the same time ffvii/ffviii. i think ill take a nice long break from creatin vids. i think ill scrap that my way/ffviii vid. not the nookie project. even if i get a new editor, and i still aint done wit it, ill still work on it with wmm. jst to see how it turns out. speakin of final fantasy, i still havent beaten ffvii or ffviii or x. i have those three, but i havent beat em yet. i had em for a couple years. im on the last disc an beaten yunalesca, but havent beaten em yet. when i get m tv i will. i beat ffvii on a friends file, but it was a save right before the second to last sephiroth battle. and he was beefed up all the way full. well. i think thats about it for now i dont think i need to self pimp in my journal tonite (this mornin). gettin a bit tired. until next time 
  • hmmm... 2006-08-28 06:38:58 its been about ten days since i finished my last vid and two since i last uploaded one. for the past two days i have been workin on a project. not the nookie project. the seiferoth (the fonzes that couldve conquered the world) project. my first dual song and dual anime amv. as the title might suggest its mostly about seifer and sephiroth. the songs, the fonz an i want to conquer the world. i know neither of them wanted to conquer the worl. sephiroth wanted to destroy it and seifer wanted to be a knight. but i would think it would be their plan b. any ways on the other hand i also wanted to test out the new transitions. got em from hitthebongo.co.uk and rehanfx.org. i thought i would have it done by 3:00 (7:00 org time), but then it rolled around so i was thinkin 6:00 (10:00). afterwards 12:00 (4:00). but now i am almost finished. i wanted to write this to waste the 28 minutes left to save as a wmv file. after that just gotta add a title an some credits and im done. most likely by the time someone reads this (since quite a few got classes tomorrow, or school, or work. or whatever, i got classes but not til 1:00 (5:00), sweet) itll most likely be uploaded already.

    interesting facts about it:
    24 saved amv files (not including official amv) including 14 specifically for the ending
    used 2 pics from the nookie project
    although its 2 songs its about 5 minutes 30 seconds (5:26 without title or credits)
    the fonz song isnt played all the way through. although the rest that isnt played isnt all that important (roughly about 30-40 secs not included)
    the reverse part, about 8.4 secs took about ten minutes, splittin it into 132 seperate frames at .07 secs per clip and puttin em in backwards one by one ( i know i coulda used virtual dub and avisynth, but didnt feel like lookin for them and waitin for them to download and figure it out).

    it probably took longer than it should (roughly about 8-10 editin hours), spendin all day yesterday an today (i gotta start doin other things), with the exception of lunch/dinner, but for some reason wmm was bein slow (most likely due to the custom transitions/effects). i think the nookie project will be my last vid im gonna spend more than 10 hours on. its just too much. i think i coul wait for a new editor to quench my effects thirst. 
  • total scrappage 2006-08-26 18:29:34 ideas keep comin to me. most of the time i forget them. but anyways. im gonna jus make one vid with the fonz with both seifer and sephiroth. i think itd be better that way. i thought i was goin to work on the project last night, but instead i got caught up watchin amv hell 3.tonight, and tomorrow, maybe. aint got much else to do. jus a heads up.
