I uploaded a video to the new site that will (maybe) host my extensive videos (that set of test videos I was talking about in an earlier entry) and could be where all the videos will be uploaded to and then linked to here.. But as with Blogger, I will have to down convert the videos to a smaller than 100MB size which means some of the videos could look like a colour speck in a mass of pixels in a blown up picture.. Not what I am after.. I set the "Childhoods End" video to youtube but it got the old "copyright" shitcheese thing they do.. I will leave it up for a while but.. I was disappointed in the quality again.. This wasn't the down converted version I sent to the 'tube, it is the full (?) version.. I burn these to disc and they look alright on my tv, why they look like crap on the 'tube is beyond me.. I guess I want it to look better than they do.. Oh well...
So a day later and I checked the video at the new site and I am not sure the video is good or better or what.. But the one thing that is better is I am getting a lot more hits there.. How many more? I got four hits in a 24 hour period which may not sound like much but you have to understand.. That is 4 hits in 24 hours, THE only amount of time that the new site has been active with an entry.. I had to wait six weeks to get four hits on PNOP when I first started it three years ago.. Of course now I laugh at those days but still the new site is showing that much promise, and so all my videos will be uploaded there shortly..
TIME MACHINE: (the video not the story) I started a video concept for yet another "trip" type of video when in the middle of the idea another popped into my head but to get that I would need extra footage that I didn't have and wasn't edited.. so I went in search of the video sequence which in this case was the space time warp or speed of light sequence from 2001 A Space Odyssey to help with what was then just the second part of the Rubycon song.. Then it exploded into a very long sequence that included the single pictures (ala the childhoods end video) and the newly edited 2001 bits.. and that made things more complex and added quite a bit to the video.. So much so that I tried to add part one of Rubycon to it and so both parts were now in there.. Trouble is I was hearing a completely different song for this video sequence and so I quickly ripped the songs I thought were needed.. So then I had pictures, video and now THE song.. "Valley of The Sun", a fifteen minute opus was now the song.. And that is the video/song sequence and it is called "ripped out your shorts"... Just joking, the video is in fact called Time Machine but it won't be uploaded anywhere it is just way too big to try.. And I doubt a piece will work from this video like the shine on video that will be seen on the Sunday music entry..
The DSOTM concept video is really starting to take shape however I can see this idea taking quite some time to get done, and really if it is to be that important then it should take a while to finish.. Working towards that end I will be looking through the internet quite extensively to find not only stills but video as well.. The thought that it will only be that album might be less of a good idea.. More to the point I like the idea of a Syd Barrett storyline.. The concept of how those albums all interconnect (Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall).. Might try to connect the concept together somehow.. I've always felt like those three albums were a trilogy of sorts, a little.. Some of The Wall is an ode of sorts to Rogers father, and some to Syd.. I'll try to get the songs in sequence then try to get the video.. Bits are already starting to come together.. Should be an interesting go of it here...
From the Sidney pamphlet.. When dad took the scouts to the AFA 50 years ago.. I remember when he took the scouts to Jamboree way back when.. Could they do those trips now?? Probably not..

(P.S. I did a video after all these were completed and it was going to be called Time Machine version ___ (fill in the blank) and.. But it wasn't called that, it is called (To The Edge) Speed Of Light and this one is what I was after all along.. The full descriptive is on the entry Sunday but it was almost entirely the 2001 space odessey video clipped together (the black hole section).. The music is fitting as well.. This video is going to be the first to be at all three sites, Youtube, PNOP, and B.H. e VIDEO WERX @ posterous spaces.. I'll link to that site when there is enough reason to later..)
