Nice one, Comrade keyb_gr. The best (unintentional) video effect was the eyeglasses bending the keys view.
But vere's ze funny German akcent?
Our dear Mr Oettinger used a year's supply's worth, and the market still hasn't entirely recovered.
My glasses getting into the picture wasn't entirely avoidable, since I'm not exactly nicknamed Eagle-Eye Cherry.
Editing this one was FUN, I can tell you. Imagine a computer in the basement with a recently-deceased graphics card so all you get is 1024x768 on a historic ViRGE/DX job from the Vault (on a 5:4 SXGA monitor no less), searching for decent free video editing software that works on Win2k (not much out there), searching for the install CD of a program that my dad had bought years ago (nowhere to be found), and ending up doing it all in VirtualDub. That one may not even have a basic "play selection" function (which makes editing a PITA), but at least it imported the .mov material correctly with the help of some AviSynth scripts.
I noticed that I had missed one "camera off" moment after it was all done and rendered (geez, setting up XVid is
complex), but at this point I said screw it.
To top it all off, the first version of this reply got eaten by forum software with a "token expired" remark. And of course, stuff in the quick reply textarea no longer seems to be cached since vB4.
