September Work Thing!

I started up an impromptu competition with my buddy Alan, back at the beginning of September, and decided that we would have a "project off." This was simply the only way that I could get myself to work on any of the myriad things that I had put off for a long time, and to actually get off my ass and get a couple of useful programs installed on my new computer.

Well, it is the end of September (the beginning of October, yes I'm one day late) and I do actually have something to show for it!

I called it MegaSync, since that's what the project file was named when I started working on it at the end of 2005. I guess it's done now, since I doubt that I'll work back into it, though I can almost assure you that I'll use the footage again.

It kind of sucks that YouTube compresses everything so horribly, since the full-res version actually looks marginally good, and you miss out on a lot of the detail, but it's the internet, we all have to make sacrifices. I think that I'll have to experiment with some other compression stuff on my end, try and find something more compatible with their servers.

So, Alan, what have you to show for your labors?

You could try the divx web player, they have pretty high def content.

And of course I have storage space if you want to post a high res avi or soemthing.

I imagine that is how Cybertron was made. Slowly creaping mechanical parts covering the land and giving rise to a new race.

Actually, it's funny you mention that. Originally, the bulk of this thing was meant to be a reaction to artificial life, kind of a shallow approach to how human-based design takes on a life of its own.

Then the professor said that it was crap, and that it was just "Mickey-Mouse-ing to music," so I had to make it short and dumb for that class. C'est la vie.

Your Professer is more than likely a robot. He knew you where right but had to hide this from the class or else they would know he was a robot.

I enjoyed the video, it makes me want to film a car chase.
