Wow….it has been two weeks since my last blog entries. Well, I was terribly busy with my J.O.B. (Just Obey Boss) and there’s nothing I can REALLY do because it’s my only Golden Goose that I can rely on at the moment. Work aside, I was asked by my friends about the video that I posted on the Mega-Structure Load Out. To be frank with you all gentle readers, I took the video all by myself by standing and walking around in blistering hot sunny weather at the place I work, just to get the best possible angles and positions. As a part-time amateur and may be not so qualified “videographer”, it was really a delight to be able to post the “Product” over the internet for others who did not witness the event and get positive responses at the same time. To share you how I did it, the simplify “facts and figures” below tell you the way.

There you go. I think most of you are surprised to see that I’m using WMM6 for video editing, MS Excel & Paint.Net for Logo creation? MS Excel for Logo creation especially? Crazy but not impossible. You need to play around with the available features in the software and you’ll be surprised to find out what you can do to get the desire result. Btw, I faced a huge problem with WMM6 limitation in handling multiple clips. It can’t compile more than 10 clips at a time. Meaning to say, I need to compile several smaller clips into one of bigger clip. At the end of the day, the total number is only 9 big clips instead of 66 smaller clips to ensure WMM6 working properly and it doesn’t hang! You don’t have to believe what I mentioned here because I’m a man. You just have to try yourself to believe it. Next assignment is the other Mega-Structure Loadout Video Clip. This time will be the MDA’s Topside Loadout, with more that 260++ clips altogether with 2.5GB video captured capacity. Unfortunately, I got a lot of things coming to me at the moment and wondering when I can complete the whole thing. Please give me some time on this one. One thing for sure, it's going to be headache….headache….headache….and headache for me.
In case my gentle reader has something to share, you know where you can drop a comment.
