Gee... I forgot I had this...

I was just going through my old HD and I found a little project I 
started ages ago. A little video for The Prodigy's "No Good / Start the 
Dance".

Unfortunately, it's a good 30 seconds long, and no amount of compression 
will squeeze it into the [tiny] filesize demanded by this news server... 
(It's moments like this that I wish I still had webspace!)

as done by RusHHouR a few posts back, you could try: www.yousendit.com
it's actually a tool to send (_very_) large files to others. the sender
(you)
will also recive a link to the file on there website. they host the file for
about a week.

What he said.
It worked better than I thought. =) Mine was 2 minutes long.

And I wanna see more clips that's actually longer than 10 secs...
Bandwith is larger, maybe time to increase maximum file size, someone? =)

Okies, I'll give that a go...

Bandwidth is larger these days - for those lucky enough to afford it anyway.

I don't suppose this has increased the storage capacity of the POV-Ray 
news server though. ;-)

Can anybody see this?

http://s61.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2FI1XVLJ671F51O6MISW6V8V5F

Compressed to fit in under 2.5 MB - the picture is fuzzy, and the sound 
is aweful. But then the sound is a copywrite infringement, so... ;-)

Tell me what you think! ;-)

I intend to redo this for DVD at some point...

LMAO!

w00t!

Somebody likes something I made...



About the synchronisation... Take the CD and rip a .WAV file off it. The 
music runs at exactly 145 beats per minute, and the first beat is at 
exactly the start of the track. (No pesky intro or anything.) So just 
run our animation and make stuff happen 145 times a minute and it will 
magically look rock-solidly synch'd to the music. :-D

Of course, you'll wanna group events into bunches of 4 beats. And 
really, you wanna pay attention to the music, and have the visuals 
follow that...


I've been thinking about giving this treatment to a whole bunch of 
different songs. When I listen to music, I usually see images in my 
mind. For example, Pink Floyd's "One of these days", with it's incessent 
pulsating bassline. For some reason, I always imagined that as a big 
hairy biped greature running through the shallows of a dark nightscape 
on the beach. (This is perhaps due to the waves on the album cover and 
their moody deep blue hues.)

If you have the opportunity, I urge you to listen to this track! LOL.

Anyway, imagining a hairy creature running at full pelt through some 
water is one thing; simulating all the physics for the hair and the 
water and the running motion is quite another. And let's not even speak 
of getting night time lighting that looks dark and yet still allows you 
to actually *see* something.......

Obviously, I never properly finished it. The silvery dart thingy was 
supposed to be replaced by a spaceship at some point. The section in the 
(bright red?!) tunnel was supposed to be the ship attempting to fly in a 
straight line, but being battered around my Liam's psychotic drumbeats. 
The ship was supposed to be pitching and yawing and all the rest... but 
I only got as far as making it jiggle up and down to the beat. (Which is 
not entirely ineffective I think...)

Anyway... LOL!

I *plan* to redo this at DVD resolution. But then, I *plan* a lot of 
things... [One of them included writing a new pure-OO operating 
system... I got as far as a boot disk then stopped.]
