Editor's Block D:
2008-06-11 13:02:27
Yes, I think I'm having one right now. Or actually, I think I've been having one since a year ago. Everything I edit, I edit it SLOWLY. It's kinda frustrating not coming up with new videos. I wonder what's this block about, really. I think the biggest reason is that editing has become really challenging and time-consuming. I can't edit anything in just a few hours like I could when I started. It was satisfying to complete a big chuck of the video by just one sitting. I can't do that anymore. My videos are just too complex to edit like that atm D: Plus, I'm getting more and more ambitious with syncing, which causes my videos to be very mathematical and systematic. I really enjoy the creative process of creating the patterns I'd follow but editing those out is very VERY boring since I'm following my patterns very strictly >_> Editing is just boring-as-fuck routine work for me nowdays.
I tried some quickies but it's annoying to edit something I don't like.... But hell, I really need to get my motivation back. I really need the energy to edit since I'm having a hundred good ideas in my head I desperately want to see finished. At least I know my imagination and ideas are still there. Actually, they're just growing bigger and bigger, which is actually frustrating since I know I'll never see most of them finished D: Editing is tiring and taking a break just made things worse I guess >_> Dammit.
But at least I'm being active here. Though I guess I should start on opinions again. I think I owe one to Driftroot. Just remembered D: Oh man, I'm late. Driftroot, I'm sorry! I just kept pushing the op I promised and then I just forgot about it. Now, that's typical >_>
But hey, at least I'll be getting some money soon. My bank account has already starved to death and in desperate need of resurrection. But that's what summerjobs are for. Lifting boxes is getting on my back but I feel like I'm doing something. I don't like it, but at least I'm not wasting my time as much as I did before. And the money means.. Buying some CDs and DVDs at least =P Maybe I should get Serial Experiments Lain now. Well at least I know I'll be ordering some lovely shoegaze and other favourites~ Also, this one Korean horror movie I really liked has got its European release with eng subs so I think I'll be getting that one too soon enough.
But for now, I'm off!

I just had the most awesome experience this morning. I'm having a few days off from school now so I thought I'd leave a beta of my video rendering and maybe go outside for a bit. So, I opened my Loveless project and happily watched as my bad-quality clips replaced with fake avis (Not using clips this time. I don't have the space for that and having other footage on comp at the same time) "Hey, this works!" I thought and started rendering. The little window appeared juuust as normal and the percents started clocking in.. 1%.. 2%..
2%..
2%..
2%..
..
..
No panic.
I'd just need to remove some filters from my fake avi scripts so it wouldn't need to handle difficult stuff and could render normally. That wasn't hard to do and the replacement of the clips didn't cause any problems either. I was happy again. This time it would work as planned.
"Render!" I clicked and watched with inner joy as the percents started appearing one after another again.. 1%.. 2%.. 3%..
3%..
3%..
3%..
..
..
What to do? What to do? Do I perhaps need to change the lossless codec, which I use for rendering? No, it didn't work either. But there weren't any filters to remove from the scripts. No less workload for Vegas and my comp to toss on.
I was hopeless. Emong was turning emo (again) At times like these a man knows what Hiroki must be going through in The Place Promised In Our Early Days: "Every time I enter my room and close the door, I feel severe pain in my mind. As if the bones in my entire body are breaking through my skin."
Can this world really be as sad as it seems? ;_;
..
But seriously though, I don't think my Loveless video will see daylight T_T -

Sweeney Todd is so overrated -_- I was looking forward to it ;_; But it ended up predictable and quite lame, even for a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp movie. It took it to an extreme of some sorts so I count that as a plus? A fairytale for adults, a clichéd one that is. Meh, it was enjoyable but I've seen it done better than this.
3½/5
The Libertine > Sweeney Todd
On another note, it's my birthday o/ Turned 19 today. It'll be a good evening tonight =P
And that's all I guess. Have fun you all o/ -

After finally getting into Slowdive's music, after scamming through lyrics and new age melodies, I found a song to cry to =P
Slowdive - Alison
Listen close, and don't be stoned
I'll be here in the morning
'Cause I'm just floating
Your cigarette still burns
Your messed-up world will thrill me
Alison, I'm lost
Alison, I said we're sinking
There's nothing here but that's okay
Outside your room, your only sister's spinning
But she lies, tells me she's just fine
I guess she's out there somewhere
And the sailors they strike poses
TV covered walls, and so slowly
With your talking and your pills
Your messed-up life still thrills me
Alison, I'm lost
Alison, I'll drink your wine
I wear your clothes, when we're both high
Alison, I said we're sinking
But you laugh and tells me it's just fine
I guess she's out there somewhere
