New to you

The "jump start" might have finally happened.. Yesterday after watching the Saturday morning movie I flipped over to the Roku and went to the channel that seems to never disappoint, Vimeo, and found a site that delivered the goods.. Several videos that I can manipulate into video ideas for my own use.. Checked YouTube as well and got a few there as well.. All together nearly 2GB of video ideas, the greatest was a tunnel idea that could give a few ideas, or expand on ideas from before..

Editing the birthday party from last Sunday was tricky.. Getting the videos converted is becoming tricky as well because I thought I had the perfect setting.. Now I might have the perfect setting and it has to be set manually for each video.. Last weeks birthday party was over an hours worth of video to choose from.. Three videos were produced and the first video was redone because I wasn't happy with the way it looked..  The second was of Ian and Ryan and won't be linked on FB because I'm not sure it should be there, I didn't ask permission to post it on the 'tube.. Between the three  videos I think they all were around fifteen minutes which I'm starting to get the gist of how to build a strong concise video rather than go long and achieve the same effect.. You get what the story is in half the time, and I'm trying to get that while editing.. The way I go about it is get the videos relative to the idea, in this case the birthday party first part where they blow out the candles and then  eat/wear the cake, there were some ten or so video segments to clip from that all together added up to over 16 minutes.. The heart of the video was them having the birthday song and blowing out the candles and then getting grubbed in the cake.. Originally the video was completed at around the seven minute mark but then after having the video converted (for the fifth time) I edited it down even more.. The last version being more to my liking.. 

How about that new channel on the roku??  Actually a subchannel available on one of the private channels.. Called Fairfield (I think) and it is all trains all the time..  I saw it last night and thought this will be here for a short time then be gone.. It's still there today and it has just under 300 viewers on it.. How does that compare??  Well there are two or three movie channels on this site (I'd say what it is but am just sure someone will find out and bring them to a hault).. The movie channels there bring new movies, really new movies.. Like still in the theater new, and in some cases movies that just opened on Friday night.. They have around a thousand viewers on them, sometimes more sometimes less depending on what they are playing.. I'm hoping to see that movie the conjuring shortly, they should have it up fairly soon..  The movie World War Z is playing but I never get in on the start of it..

Football starts shortly and I am hoping some games will be on the Roku on that channel.. Should be, they have a lot of other sports..
