Nothing to post, really, but I don’t want this log to go stale, nor become one of those things where I write every couple of months to say, “Sorry I haven’t updated — been really busy.” Especially since I haven’t been all that busy.
On the other hand, I haven’t really got anything new to upload yet, either. I submitted a few entries to Worth1000 in the last week or so. One did pretty good but didn’t win, one did okay but didn’t even come close, and one totally bombed. I worked on it a little bit more after the contest ended and I’ll work some more on it later. When I’m happy with it, I’ll upload the new version here.
Also spending some time here and there making menu themes for DVD Architect, Sony Media Software’s app for authoring (wait for it) DVDs. Like most DVD authoring apps, DVD Architect comes with canned menu designs you can apply when you don’t feel like designing your own. I always do. I have no use for generic menus. But I understand a lot of people would rather get a DVD done and watch it rather than spend hours or days making backgrounds / buttons. Anyhow… DVD Architect comes with fewer themes than most authoring apps (about 20 or so) and there aren’t a whole lot available on the web. The subject comes up now and then on Sony’s DVD Architect forum, so I figured I’d take a crack at designing some generic (but compelling?) themes and letting others download them. Or maybe I’ll sell them.
Not much going on in the wallpaper department. (That makes it sound like I work at Home Depot, across the aisle from the paint department…) Haven’t had any ideas for more Boondocks ones.
Have tossed around a few fanvid ideas. One of them, I need to edit (or have edited by someone more capable) the song — it’s entirely too long for a video. Need to shave off at least a minute, if not two. Luckily, there are long stretches of no lyrics or overly-repeated ones. I’ve also got, probably half a dozen shows / movies I want to use as source, but can’t find songs for. I’d take a poll, but I don’t think enough people visit this site yet to get much of a sampling.
So, yeah. I got nothin’. I hope you like it.
