To be honest, I've technically not had an internet connection for almost two months now as my housemate, who handled the cable contract decided to cancel it... He's off to France soon, so he had to terminate the contract.. Unfortunately no one else in the house wants to take up the new contract for various reasons, thus leaving us without a connection... All this while I have been'poaching' my neighbours connection, as he well, didn't bother to put on the encryption on his router (sorry dude! :-p).. Everything was going ok unti earlier this week when his housemate moved out and cancelled the electricity contract without informing him... Thus the guys over at NSTAR came over and cut their power thus leaving me internet-less... I mean all this just as I'm trying to submit that video, I had to run off to a cybercafe to send my file.... Well I suppose, it sucked worse for my neighbour, I only didn't have the 'net, he didn't even have power in the middle of winter n it took NSTAR like a whole week to sort out... I mean the poor guy was more or less camped out in the basement until they reconnectd the power....
Anyway, I've already uploaded my video to the Queensland Tourism Board for that Island Reef Job thingy.. It took me the whole week to do and I have to say I'm pretty happy with the result... I'm only upset at my attempts lip-sync-ing. After like two million attempts at trying to record myself giving my 1 minute monologue, I finally reached a point where I like the video of one clip, but the audio of the other... So I decided to go just with what I got n tried to combine the two... Well, there was much left to be desired with the results but hopefully its not too noticeable... Aside from that, I was really happy with my "Zoom-Out to the Upper Atmosphere" effect I did... I'm a bit gob-smacked though at how long it took me to do... I mean it took me like 1 whole day, working on only something which only gave me 4 seconds of footage.... Well, at the very least I saved the effect as a preset so i'll get to recycle it for something else later...
Well as I said I submitted my video last thursday, two days before the submission date.. I'm still waiting for the confirmation e-mail saying tht my video has been approved n I hope I get it soon... I can't take the suspense, it killing me!! Lol! Anyway, here's the end result, enjoy, n pls do comment....
Regards,
Nik
