JOURNAL: Krisqo (Chris Ruhl Jr)

  • Unworthy again!? 2005-04-26 00:13:37 Deriving from my usual AMV update (on account of there being none) i've decided to rant about my recent attepts at creating a banner for this site. For those who might have voted, my two banners were the 404 File Not Found one with Ichino Yanagida and the "Can't I Dream" banner with Akari Kanzaki faded into the background. Now my biggest shock was that the Ichino banner (which took me about an hour to make) got more worthy votes than my Akari banner (which took over four hours to create). I just don't know what you guys want! What do you see that makes a banner worthy.

    *sigh*

    With that said, look for my next banner. It's almost done and features four of Eclair's bodies with the line "Spanning Generations" with the text black with red highlights. This one took about four hours as well. Please consider it. It may not be funny, but I've tried my best and used all Photoshop Elements has to offer in making it.  
  • Aqua Title and Dual 2005-04-20 17:53:12 The title for my Aquarian age video is now officially "The Song." More detail will be either provided later or in the video discription when it is done. Now about this dual stuff. I was dusting off my CD collection and dug up my Phil Collins CD titled "Hits" and rediscovered one of my favorite songs titled "Something Happened on the way to Heaven" and Aquarian Age just seemed to fit like a glove (Sure there are some rough spots but nothing is impossible) So what this means is that I will be making 2 videos titled "The Song". I'm not sure how this will work but I will find a temp host to host both of them and have a poll over which more people like. Or Just make them and whichever one sucks less will be posted.

    As far as ripping goes. I have eps 2-5 done. Something got messed up with ep 1 so I need to redo it. I solved some minor space problems and got the videos to go from 10+ gigs to roughly 300MB. BIG CHANGE and only reversing the inclusion of the codecs. Who wudda thunk it? Still have a way to go before I actually begin work. 
  • AA on the way 2005-04-04 10:15:16 Just another Upadate. The first video I'm gonna get done will be the Aquarian Age video. As of 9:50 Sunday night the 3rd of April, all 13 episodes have been ripped up to the point of having 14 gigs of VOB files on my PC. I'm in school right now so I won't be able to convert them to the next stage (forget the file name, check VicBond007 DVD footage guide). I have about two weeks of file conversions to complete before editing even takes plave. But it should come along nicely. 
  • Juices flow 2005-04-02 21:40:34 As a torrential downpour turns my neighborhood into a lake, I'm busy working on 2, yes, 2 projects. And possibly a third. I'll give ya'll the scoop.

    Video 1
    Title: Undecided
    Anime: Neon Genesis Evangelion
    Song: Here In My Heart
    Artist: Chicago
    Catagory: Drama, Sentemental

    Video 2
    Title: Undecided
    Anime: Aquarian Age
    Song: Everything You Want
    Artist: Verticle Horizon
    Catagory: Romance, Drama

    Video 3
    Title: Hearts Ablaze
    Anime: Battle Athletes Victory
    Song: Hearts on Fire
    Artist: John Cafferty
    Catagory: Action

    The most promising at the moment is video 2. The only problem is getting the rips... joy, thirteen episodes on one computer. (I'm not good at isolating individual clips. I must have the enitre thing in it's entirety to work efficently) More updates later. 
  • Back Burner 2005-03-30 23:22:05 After some careful contemplation, I've decided to postpone creating my BAV video for uncertanty reasons. In it's place, I've got a pretty stong idea for another Evangelion video. I was listening to "Here in My Heart" by Chicago and It struck me. I won't give the details now, but it may be pretty darn good once i get it off the ground.
