AFO6 Footage

[Gox]

Good news.
I'm finally finishing up with the AFO footage.
It's about 2 hours long.
It will be availible over the internet and on a DVD.
The internet version will be lower quality and the footage will be more raw (less appealing, trust me)

I highly suggest getting the dvd. I've already made some nice post-internet version edits and additions for the dvd version. It'll also be divided into chapters. (Much more convinient and informative)

Here's the Chapter Layout

FRIDAY
The Trip to AFO6
Arrival and DDR
How to Draw Manga Lessons
Fooling Around at the Hotel
The Smoking Gourd
AMV Room
Kick the Can (Waiting to go back to the Hotel)


SATURDAY
Hotel Room Conversations
RX When the Lights Go Out (Hotel Room Continued)

SUNDAY
Morning Clean Up
Colby's Borrowed Pass
Convention Room Tour
Fun in the Game Room
Line for the Costume Contest
Chillin at the Water Table
Awaiting Pickup

The Dvds will be $2 each (That's less than I normally charge) I'll try my best to mail it to any of you out of the area. (Joe, Tip, ect...)

Hook me up with a DVD. ^____^

[TIPPERBLK]

i'll go dvd, definitely.

Good cause you're all getting one whether you like it or not ^^

Anyways, I just finished making the final edits tonight.
It'll take from now until the morning to render everything. Then it'll probably take another couple hours to export it to raw video format, then another couple hours to export to dvd format, and about 4 more hours to export it to windows media for the web version.

say what now?
Hiei and kurama....i dont think so....


Anyways...ok...I'm fucking pissed tonight.
So far, everything computer related has been going shitty for me today. Soon as I come home, I find out that i screwed up on the afo dvd that was processing through the night, so that's getting pushed back another day (because it takes like 6 hours for the shit to process). 2ndly, theres the naruto dub. For some reason, NOTHING is fucking compatible...shit has to be converted.....this takes long ammounts of time and processing.....time which i dont have.....Ive been researching for a shortcut on this all day (which does exist, but I can't fuckin figure out how). Then of course there's this print class project that im working on right now. It was due today but theres only ONE FUCKING COMPUTER with photoshop on it in the print class and its a fucking MAC! All the PCs have correl draw (which is really ghey). All the clipart is on the PCs, so nothing was compatible and I wasted all the time trying to make my rewritable cd compatible for the mac to read. (Which reminds me, I left my cd inside the fuckin Mac when it was turned off). Oh yeah, also Chad's computer got a virus the other day. It was so bad that he had to reinstall windows. All the files are still ok, but ALLLL of the programs have to be reinstalled......that might not sound TOO bad, but guess what....I'M A VIDEO EDITOR AND DVD CREATOR! I use lot and lots and lots of various freeware programs......shit loads to keep up with. And speaking of dvds, I don't want to hear one fucking word about "Hey sean, where's my naruto dvd?" When are you getting the next one out? huh? huh?" I am WAY to preoccupied at the momment. NOTHING should be this hard and complex.....AFO dvds....Naruto dubs.....it would be so simple if everything worked how it should and everything was compatible.

And here's a fact I just realized today.
In the past few months, the MAJORITY of my time on the computer when I'm alone has been spent researching on how to convert media files. Yeah...it takes alot more time than you may think. Then theres the trial and error....having to test these conversions....that takes MORE time and gives the computer a full processing load. If you're lucky, it will work. Otherwise you find that the audio is choppy, or something's off sync.

Do you know how long it's been since i've even played a game (on consol OR PC)
Or do you know how long it's been since i've done anything for exercize? I can't even play stepmania anymore because Hillary's always sleeping. Otherwise I'm too tired. And sure it would be nice to go out for a breath of frest air now and then, but I just cant....I dont know where I would ever find time for it.

So what the fuck.
So what about my new deadlines? I'll release stuff as it comes along. AFO dvds and naruto dubs are my first priority.

Also I need to remember to tell Colby and Chris.....you guys will need to help advertise the dubs for me. I dont have NEARLY enough time (btw dont advertise yet, wait til i have a page and everything set up for them) (and torrents)

and another thing,
I really need a better way to sit at my computer...
the beds nice and all, but I need to either get a chair like before (which takes up too much room) or get some kinda back support for sitting on my bed. I already feel sore in the mornings....and that can't be good.


Another thing unrelated that pissed me off today for some reason....THE SCHOOL LUNCHES SUCK!
Colby- Here's some good proof that the states control how much funds the schools receive. blog.au.org/vouchers_religious_school_funding/
And guess what else! Summing up that article, Jeb Bush and his fuckhead brother are supporters of a policy that gives the funding to the private and religious schools over the public schools.
WTF!
Kids that go to private schools are generally from richer families. Is it just me, or can their schools afford things a little easier.
Give all to the rich(private schools) and christian(home schools). Give none to everyone else. -_-

THE
WORLD
IS
CORRUPT

ok...I gotta agree with ya sean...and im telling you dude, you need to take a break every once in a while...get up from your comp every few hours and strech, or go walk around in your backyard for a few minutes >_>, at this rate Hillary won't be able to recognize your face cuz your always in your room ^_^;; all im saying dude is that all this computer work isn't healthy for you...just like me not eating lunch >_> but not AS bad, because I eventually eat...I imagine your daily schedule looks something like this...

wake up
school
come home from school
computer...
computer....
look more computer....
c0mp|_|7312!!!
sleep....

now is it just me or is that a little fucked up? I mean sure..I spend my unhealthy amount of time on the computer, but if im not doing that im either over at chris's house doing stuff, out walking Lucious, or doing something else...and I do all those things A LOT...when IM on my computer im either...
A. Watchin Anime
B. Chatting
C. Playing SM
D. Flash
E. looking for new games
F. as of lately playing Ragnarok Online for a little bit
G. not on my computer at all and simply playing GCN waiting for a DL or something...
H. ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!! (and yes...I can do all that at the same time...it may be a bit staggered but I can do it all)...

All im saying sean is that you really need to get out a little more than you do as is...and I realise that all this Video Editting is eating up a lot of your time...but look...either 1, once you find all these converting programs you'll never have to devote and ENTIRE day to Google...OR you need to devote JUST ONE DAY out of the week for scouting for new conversion programs, or maybe even 2, its gotta be healthier then all this bullshit

[Gox]

So yeah...today was just a particularly bad day for me...
I enjoy my work for the most part.....just not yesterday >_>

So I gave up on the shortcut, script writing method because it's one of those rare cases in which even hours of research can't solve. So here's the normal method.

1. Convert the raw episode to be compatible in Premiere using the lossless huffy codec in virtualdub. (If necessary) (takes about 25 minutes)

2. Sync up the video and audio in premiere. Add a basic subtitle somewhere with the link to rxgaming.net (should take about 10 minutes)

3. Export the video and audio streams out of premiere with the huffy codec again (because premiere has crappy options for exporting audio and the the video doesn't look as good when you use a lossy codec in premiere) (takes about 25 minutes)

4. Open the new streams up in virtualdub and combine into the final file with XviD compression for the video (900 kb/s bit rate) and LAME Mp3 compression for the audio (48000Hz at 160 kb/s bit rate)(takes about 30 minutes)

There's the whole process if you all care to know. Also incase I forget after awhile and need reference.

[maxwell02]

Hey basically I go to every con there is in orlando so if you want me to bring a video camera(you supply) along to theseAFO/Jacon/Megacon I can. Also If you want someone for a costume group I do Males and females(im a girl...yo you see me im that girl that asked you about the site) and I can fit sauske...um Or if you need any female dubbed voices...I dont sew ninja shoes so dont ask...they are hard...really hard.

[Duo]
