success methinks

it's still technically terrible (tt) but it is a short story that i managed to put together after several days of frustration, mainly due to rank ignorance.

this 2.6 min video is about the comox valley peace group at the world community film festival in courtenay, bc a couple of weeks ago.

raw footage shot with a borrowed sony cyber 4.1 or something like that - distilled 10 raw segments down to 7 scenes which i then cut and pasted together using kino dv editor on a $300 linux box running kubuntu.

this is the second vlog for semanal, which is responsible for motivating me to actually produce and publish these early film experiments, despite the fact that it's consuming my whole life - i have to start some seeds soon!

all of this so that we can learn to use these powerful new media as a way through the waves of propaganda that the msm spews forth.

got some more vid in the can from last week's demo which i now have to edit and put up before shooting the greenhouse move, feeding the worms, and the waterboard challenge.

3 days lost

big excitement, kino, the video editor for my linux kubuntu system seemed to work like a charm when i first tried it and now 3 days later i'm still trying to export the vids i have put together - the cutting/adding in kino was a snap but i had trouble with the import and export functions - sometimes i wouldn't get the whole clip imported, sometimes it cut off an export, and sometimes there was nothing there at all.

don't know why i'm bothering with this blog except i said i was going to record the process.

back to kino.
