Sheesh, it’s Thursday already. If you took a look at the trailer posted yesterday. You may want to take another look. YouTube kind of clipped the beginning and the end, so I padded a couple of seconds on each end and reuploaded it. I am extremely pleased with the quality. I had uploaded a Halloween video of everyone dressed up at work previously so my co-workers could see it and it looked like crap. I Googled “optimization video render You Tube” and of course found some advice that obviously worked. Now I’m jonesing to render and upload a bunch of stuff. Unfortunately when I started to render The Visit which is around three minutes the software was estimating a four hour render time. No can do Charlie. I desperately want a more powerful computer. Just not desperately enough to spend money. I mean I could finish another AR-15 with the dough I would put into a computer, actually I couldn’t but that’s the sort of little lie you tell yourself.
The previously mentioned TOP SECRET project is all systems go for Saturday. I am excited. I guess it’s Speed Racer tomorrow night. The dread and anticipation are cancelling each other out.
New review sent to Cinegeek. I will post a direct link when it is up, if I can remember.
Well my Mom and Sister get back from their trip to the Pacific North West tommorow, I’m assuming we are having some kind of get together Sunday, though I should check. I’ve got a project that I’m working on for Mom for Mother’s day, which would be cheating a little because it’s actually for her and Dad and they will get it eventually anyway, but I need to come up with a backup plan as time is running out and there are some time factors out of my control.
I don’t know why I’m being so oblique. I have this aversion to details and straight forwardness. Ask me what I’m doing over the phone and I won’t lie but I’ll try to think of a clever way to answer you but not actually give you any information at the same time. I can hear you nodding. I guess it’s just PAAB, you know Passive Aggressive Asshole Behavior. I was diagnosed years ago, but I’m not getting any treatment because I refused to answer the Therapist’s calls to schedule more appointments and I never paid the bill for the first one, that’ll show him. See what I’m doing I making up cute filler crap to keep from actually saying what I was getting at.
I’ve been editing some video they took on a trip to Europe and it’s taking me way longer than it should to get it back to them, but I’ve gotten pretty serious about finishing it up this week and I’m almost there, but it’s three hours of video. That’s some serious rendering for my geriatric Sony. The last time I tried it it overheated and scared the willies out of me. Literally, I always expected them to fly out of my ass but these just sort of apperated through my skin in various places. Kind of cool when I realized I wasn’t exploding. Exploding hurts much worse, that should have been the tip off.
