IT'S LIKE THAT FEELING NEVER GOES AWAY

I have been working on parts of the wedding video.. Trying to decide what does or goes where and how and I don't even have a second shot yet..  The end credit sequence was worked on over the last few days with a final preview set to be seen here and was set as "live" here for a few hours yesterday.. Then I looked at the two ideas a second or third (hundredth, felt like) time and decided that just didn't feel right.. I used a few pictures from here & there and some graphics from my Google (images) search and everything came right together when all the editing was completed and the music selection(s) were made for the video when after a few hours I changed my mind.. Took that entry down because something just didn't feel right.. Trying another song but unless the credits are shrunk way down, it will be too short.. I want the final credits to be under three minutes, so a reworking is in order.. The song I want is in the time frame.. And right now it fits my mood to the letter.. So I tossed that into the heap and now there are five or six tracks to choose from..

Todays entry at the PNOP site was done today.. The first entry I have done at that site on the same day in nearly  a month.. The other entries are set through to the end of August and I haven't even been thinking about going beyond, trying to preset through September or October.. But that might happen..

By the way the wedding video will be a dvd, with just clips going on my Youtube site, I figure if there are any portions of the video I'd like to have on my site I could edit it to that..might do a short clip and I might not.. Might enter a clip here on MTCW (sounds like a Canadian or Russian television station call letters)..   Had a oh shit moment the other day when I was shooting video of Ian at his swimming lesson and the camera went through a battery in three minutes.. All I could think was this better not happen next week.. I think the battery just hadn't been used in quite a while and so it's "full" charge was questionable at best..

Watched a little Olympic coverage this morning and they had grunt ball on.. What is grunt ball??  It was the sport known as tennis.. The women were playing, and they might have even been giving birth as well..  Not sure..  Why the grunting??  I mean what is the big deal??

I converted (translated?) all the videos I have done so far and then watched them and started to think of a video I am going to try to do next.. A concept type (of course)  for Dark Side Of The Moon...  I did a Shine On You Crazy Diamond video and am very happy not only with the video but I kinda remixed the music.. I Took all the vocals out, edited them out.. So it has in essence become an instrumental track.. However because of it's length it is too long to put anywhere..  Youtube would likely flag it for CRI .. Sending it to this site is where I would rather send it but it might take forever to get it up here.. Not sure of their length restrictions..  Might try sometime later.. Took a while to get that video done.. The DSOTM is an idea that came to me while viewing the SHINE ON video.. Some of that was just so freakishly how the sequence changes just right.. This I will try to do but more than likely it won't time out the way I will want it.. Have to try it..  Do each song individually then put it all together for the long form video...

Two days this past week were record setters for me in scrabble.. Tuesday saw me score 378 points and then turn around and Thursday I scored 396 points on the veteran level.. And yes that is timed both games.. 45 seconds per turn.. Try that out sometime people..   The saddest part is it was on the laptop and not the desktop where all my records are upper three hundreds.. Those are personal bests for me..
