JOURNAL: tomj (Tom Jordaan)

  • Mob 2003-04-02 18:38:56 As a counterbalance to the large puddle of drool collecting in front of Euphoria, I wish to state a claim that large amounts of effects for their own sake do not a video make. ^^

    In other news I'm collecting anime and re-editing audio for video reworkings when I ought to be reading Takemoto Kotarou manga for an undergraduate dissertation comparing gay manga with yaoi... >.< 
  • Fits and starts 2003-02-23 17:06:20 Approximately ten months later... I have another video done. ^^; Another Sisters one, I'm afraid, but the next three are Jpop ("Party Night"), Jpop ("Paradox") and, oh look, Rosetta Stone. No goth here, nope, none at all... 
  • "You're a machine." "No, I'm just mad." 2002-03-11 13:10:21 ... ensued after telling a friend I had the second KareKano/Sisters video pretty much done. Around 24 hours after telling him I had the *first* one done...

    "More" was a lot harder than I thought - the reasonably sized edit doesn't actually have that much useful footage, particularly when the best "Arima Is Damaged" material had been used up in the last video, so I wasn't particularly keen on repeating things. A few clips got recycled, but not that many.

    Now 06:00, JST. I should go to bed. *slump*

    Tomorrow, er, later - see about renting Utena DVDs from Tsutaya in Kamiyashiro...


     
  • A video what I done... 2002-03-10 17:26:56 Things to remember:

    - Deinterlacing pathological footage before Premiere takes far too long and is pointless in the long run.

    - Metaphysics is FSCKING hard to get across. Let alone understand.

    - It Always Takes Longer Than I Think

    Apart from that, I rather like the results with "When you don't see me". Much more in the way of effects than I usually use, but at least 50% of those are covering up for video flaws. (The doors held closed were blue in the original, and were fairly noisy - adjust the hue so that it looks like it's daylight and the noise is suddenly very very visible...)

    Now, on with the next one.

     
  • Mou sugu... mou sugu 2002-03-08 06:28:44 "I don't exist when you don't see me.
    I don't exist when you're not there
    What the eye don't see won't break the heart
    You can make believe, when we're apart
    But when you leave, I disappear."

    TOMORROW!
