alright, folks, it took some doing, but PTB is back FULL TIME!!! yaaaaaaay I got mail I got mail yaaaaaaay
after all the bullshit was said and done, it turns out my DSL connection is waaay faster than my old cable connection (even though it looks worse on paper) and I be a happy Power.
So, once again, I'm BACK, baby!!!!!
P.S. Does anyone know of any good video editing software I can leech? I have some killer ideas for various site related videos, I have .mp3's .mpg's and .avi's to play with, but I can't seem to find the One Program to bind them all.

well, today has been sort of interesting. i put a bunch of pictures of spike and angel on my folder and one guy in my english class was like " you watch angel?" i said yes of course and then the whole time we had a discussion about a lot of the episodes, and characters and a lot of good stuff. we also were complaining about how much the wb sucks! it good when angel fans communicate. i told him about this website so may he'll join. anyways thought i say something to make my day complete. Question: any of you guys gonna go see "the grudge" with SMG? it doesn't come out yet, but i saw some of the previews and it looks good.

I concur... overall I was pretty skeptical about a SMG movie, but then I wasn't completely displeased with Cruel Intentions, heh heh...
Anyhoo, The Grudge looks like it'll at least be a good mind-fuck movie, which is possibly my fave genre <stands up, waving his "I heart David Lynch" banner>

Hey, while I'm here, I'm working on an FUWB logo to use when (if!) I finally get my videos done. I'm throwing a few ideas around, but I thought I'd ask you guys if you have any suggestions

danke! but I thought I'd ask you guys if you have any suggestions Well that depends. What kind of videa do you have in mind?

Post by ThePowersThatBe on Oct 7, 2004 3:22:35 GMT
well, here's a basic idea:
the promo video starts with a black background with narrative quotes fading in and out... something along the lines of what we have on the ticker on the home page of this site... the first few strains of the Angel theme song play in the background, up until the captions are finished... at the point where the drums normally kick in on the theme song, it kicks to Adema's "Immortal" (trust me) over which I show cut-scenes from previous shows (mostly fighting scenes) and a few interspersed stills with character names (not entirely unlike the format of the credits)... at the end of the song (strategically cut so as to not make it irrelevant to Angel), the screen shoots right to black for a second or two, then the words "Angel" "The Sixth Season" "This Fall" and the FUWB logo (which I'm still open to ideas on) pop one after the other over the black... a couple of seconds of the logo, one second of black, followed by a small(ish) disclaimer for about four or five seconds, followed by about two seconds of whatever kinda sig/copywright I wanna put on this thing (though the last two items can/will be swapped).
Okay.... WAY more than I really wanted to reveal (I was hoping for a surprise, but...) ;D
Sooo... what I basically need is something that will let me splice together existing video clips in .avi or .mpg format, let me use raw .mp3's for background music, and allow me to draw and move personalized text. Any ideas?
P.S. Please no suggestions as to the content of the video itself... I've had this specific vision in my head from the get-go, and I intend to make it as such, even if we decide not to use it here
P.P.S. The narrative captions themselves, however, are plenty open to creative input!!!

Okay cool. Sounds great.
Me being the person with the worse taste in music in the world am going to go ahead and trust you with the whole Adema thing. lol
Umm, so no I really don't have any kind of system that you could borrow but I am praying that someone here does or that you can find it and we can see this thing. Cause right now it sounds like a masterpiece.

Hey guys, I'd just like to take a moment to apologize to any Republicans that come to this page because of the Kerry advertisement that is currently being displayed in this site. It is not my fault, that is something that the big cheeses over at Proboards.com chose. But still it is part of the site so I want to apologize to anyone that might be offended by it.
Like the advertisement says, it does not reflect the opinions of the site as a whole. This site does not support either party, and every and all users are allowed to support whoever they want.
So don't look at me; I didn't do it.

I'd like to take a moment to celebrate:
Yay! W00T!
Man, it took us a long while to finally get here. I guess this is where it starts to get really hectic.
So in summary: We've premiered!
**pats the whole team in the back**
