hey world of love and wonder

I'm updating... the film class I mentioned in my last post is long concluded. The one minute video I talk about can be found here:



I made another video, too, it's about a boy who discovers his door with its whiteboard can be used as a portal to anywhere you write on said whiteboard. I haven't been able to upload it, neither on youtube nor here, because of size. I'll keep trying to get it up and it'll appear here eventually.

I didn't update in this blog because I forgot it. Then I remembered it and felt ashamed. Now I've finally decided to update it because of my new idea.

We have youtube, now, which means that essentially infinite hours of video of virtually every kind is at our disposal for perusal. But with the proper know-how it's possible to download these videos.

And with the proper editing software...


so what we get is something akin to this. The classy penguin video is made from the makers' own home videos and it hadn't occurred to me that the internet could be abused for this. By coincidence I've even photoshopped together images from the internet for my last two facebook profile pictures (which should be somewhere on this post). It took stumbling onto the youtube account of one of my high school friends and seeing the sheer human interest of the no-holds-barred personalities of the "Reseda Earthquake '07" series to be moved by the grandness of the possibilities at my disposal.

So whatever I make will probably not have music but use sound from the videos I'm messing with... since I'm not The Books. And hopefully I'll find some way in which to be original. I only have two concerns: time and space. Time being the time it takes to edit a bunch of different videos into one cohesive thing, and space being the hard disk space, or lack of it, at my disposal. I'd probably have to buy an external HD, which is fine since I need one. Maybe when I get a new graphics card I'll also get a new hard drive and go from there. There's no time on this, no definite plans, it's just an idea I had.
