Rendering... Estimated time: About FOREVER!

Yeah, so I picked up Final Cut Express 4 about 2 months ago and have been compiling very poor videos of the progress and process of making an album (the hard way). I've spent almost every minute since noon until now (1:55AM) building this new video that spans all the highlights from 2007(Yeah, It's taken awhile, the album and the editing)(Slow and steady either wins the race, or dies trying).

Each time I say, "Oh, I'll just trow togetha somethin' fo the website," it ends up becoming an excursion into the downward spiral of futility, which is where, by my best guess, I approximately am at the moment.

I'm catching on though. I think I've mastered the "Ken Burns" effect for photo montages, which seems to be a crowd pleaser.

Oh, I'm headed to Australia for the third time in as many years, but all the fruits of my (and many other's) labor will be launching next week. Those reading this on the website may be confused, but it's simple really. I started the blog before the site.

Anyway, you can view the video that's currently RENDERING (grrrr...), along with other's I've made to document the past couple of years of progress in the "Gallery" section of the site.

Enjoy.

OOH! Finished rendering! Who-aah!

-me.
