It begins.

So after seeing the presentation on fan vidding at Lumos I've been semi-obsessed with making one or two of my own. Last night I invested a little time in procuring the freeware necessary to do just that on a Mac and ripped Prisoner of Azkaban. I'll attempt to get through at least Goblet as well tonight (carefully monitoring my harddrive space, of course). Now to find a song and theme that inspires me.

Also finally figured out how to put pics on my Nano, which was startlingly simple. However, I'm wondering if I can set up the equivalent of a wallpaper on it and I'm not seeing how to do that. I like having a slideshow of fun images to look at, but I'm hoping they will actually be useful for a bit more than that.

Work is actually quite calm at the moment, I feel like I'm in the eye of a hurricane. We're just twiddling our thumbs a bit waiting for the engineers to actually make the whole thing work so that we can dive in and write things like the help section. Or, I should say, so that I can dive in and write this. I've already written all the other page text and just left a few holes where actually playing with the site elements is necessary first. Fingers crossed everyone!

Oh and many belated thanks to jakejr for my copy of V: for Vendetta, which I can't wait to break into this weekend. Yay special features!

Ha ha you said Mac, John.

So what software would you recommend for Mac, if one's of the video-making persuasion? I don't know that I actually have time to put something together for the BSG con, but I'd certainly like to try!

If you go to the anime video site that was recommended to us at the presentation there's a whole section on the software, how to download it, and how to use it with images and everything. It really walks you through the whole thing.

Fantastic! I'd bookmarked the site on general principle, but hadn't gone exploring yet, so I will certainly do so. Thanks!

My vote: Hedwig vid - "Make a little birdhouse in your soul"

Heh, the only problem is that I'd have to re-use the same sequences over and over. There's precious little Hedwig available, sadly :(

Maybe just owls in general, with a spotlight on Hedwig? :)

Yeah, you're probably right. It's kind of a long song.

Nice to hear the mac is serving you well.
