[last night]

Since I could put my hands on the Tril, I started there. First order of business is a clean remix of "Don't let the Sun Go Down on me" exportable to VHS.
ANH is pretty well capped.
Working on ESB. Just about to go barging into a Hoth blizzard. I gotta put my hands on my copy of RotJ, because a lot of the caps come from there.

Interesting that in ESB, Luke and Han do not touch. In ANh, they're in each others' space, hugging, and little touches here and there. In ESB, Han rolls Luke over to check for a pulse. In RotJ, Luke is in Han's space again, even while he's maintaining the aloof Jedi thing. And they are hugging again by the end.

Also nabbed the hall argument, with Han jabbing his finger in Leia's face until you expect her to snap "Put that away before you put my eye out!" That's for the "Happy Together" vid. Goes nicely with Hannibal mindfucking Clarice, Bufffy impaling Angel, Flash being executed in front of Dale and Norman drowning Claire.

bed now, I think.

[livejournal.com profile] jkb commented on the deleted entry:

" Congrats on getting some vidcapping done. I wish I had equipment for
that. Well, one of these days. I have ideas for vids but I can't get
sucked into that -- too much to do for 2 zines. And I'm getting into
photomanips now -- icon-making and for the zines. But I'm envious of
what you're doing. BTW, have you seen [livejournal.com profile] prillalar's Luke vid,
"Teenage Dirt Bag"? It's great.


I haven't gotten out to watch [livejournal.com profile] prillalar's vid. Now that I have a cable modem and a puter that can handle it, I will.

What format do you save your vidcaps in?

They're in rnzl, which is a bastard format.

I'm wondering if there's any
way you could share some frames or bits with me, if I could make them
into fodder for photomanipping for illos. There are a number of scenes
in the tril that I want to use for photomanips, but the vidcaps
available online are often very low resolution. It's a bit shameless of
me to ask if I can cadge any raw materials from you, but we're friends,
I'm not talking about making my own *vids* from your work, and I can
imagine you'd like to see more nice photomanips in the zines too. So I'm
willing to beg for help. *g*


I can save frames as bitmaps. It's not a problem. Let me know what you wan.

What I really need to do, though, is get off my butt and do the
laserdisc-to-DVD project, and then we'll all have very high quality
digital stuff to work with. You might find it useful in your vidding,
too. "


That would be nice.

I need to get my little act together financially; this month I am beyond broke. Then I want to get the ultimate 3-laserdisc boxed set, which is typically available for about $120 or so on e-bay. I will make this a priority, though; perhaps next month I can afford it. Then if I can get Neil to help me -- big IF, because he's busy planning his wedding and seems just a tad stressed *g* -- we can get this done. It involves using some equipment at the home of some people I don't know, so I want to have all my laserdiscs and everything lined up before we set up a day with them to do it.

Hi Angel

Actually, I wonder if the post got deleted not because you're an idiot *g* but because their software is screwing up. I remember the post was here twice; let me guess, you tried to delete the second one and they both disappeared? I've been having the same problem with comments on Alex's LJ; my comment appears twice, I try to remove the second one, and they both go. I've gone around and around enough times that I'm certain I'm not clicking on Post twice nor hitting Delete twice. The software is screwing up. I wonder if the LJ people know about this?

See? Like that. I swear, I did *not* hit Post Comment twice.

My journal went Read-only part of the morning.
(The part when I was posting, dammit!)
I think they've got it fixed.
