Apr. 4th, 2003 03:20 pmEveryone in LJ land put your hands together and wish
caphricacorn a big Happy Birthday!!!
Cappy, I remember when I first found out you were born. Dawn had just gotten home from high school and she was out behind the garage freaking out because she hit Casey Moon's car in the parking lot at school and she really didn't want Dad to find out. That is when we got the call explaining where Mom and Dad were actually at. Did you know that as a newborn you had dark hair and skin? - you looked like a tan baby. Little did we know that was the darkest you would ever get.
I am heading to Chattanooga after work (five hours each way - oh joy) to see the indomitable Cappy perform this weekend in Winterguard watchamacallit competition. She is actually quite graceful when given a big pole, a heavy rifle or sharp sabre. I have no idea where she gets it.
Look at my pretty new icon. Isn't it lickable? Thanks to
anniesj for making it for me - she is also very lickable ::licks annie::
In Vid news:
Development of Dawn's and my latest projects continue to plod along. I realized last night that we are in serious need of editing these vids down. Dawn's is around 6 minutes - although I understand that she needs every single moment in the song to tell her story - that is just too long for a vid. Her saving grace is that it is Wesley and a perfect song. Really - she does justify the length with the material, but making a version that is high quality and downloadable will be a bitch.
While Dawn does have justification in her song length/choice/whatever, I will most likely rot in hell for making a Spuffy vid that clocks in at over 5 minutes long. WTF??? There is no call and there is no need for this in the world, but I truly cannot figure out what to cut. [whine] I need it all [/whine]. When I get back from Chattanooga, I'm gonna tighten it up, and add a bug. That is right. A bug. You know those things the network puts on the show - the annoying thing that says "UPN" or "WB" or whatever - I'm putting one on this vid. Why this vid? Because it is Spuffy and more specifically Spike-centered Spuffy and one thing I know for certain: if vids are gonna be stolen and chopped up the thing that most of them have in common is Spike. I don't think that this vid is the end all be all to Spuffy (and I would love and end all be all to Spuffy - close the door, shut the book, let the horse be dead) but that doesn't mean I want to see my edits in a dozen crappier vids. Also - I just want to play with AE and this seems like as good a project as any.
