Anyway - Its not been too long since my last entry and im currently sitting listening to Falling in Reverse - Coming Home (Deluxe Edition), maybe I can salvage a mini on Youtube with a song from there who knows.
Anyway my progress:

Looks pretty neat (I am a bit sloppy but i subtract 2 pixels to get into the outline so you barely see it)
As for raw numbers?
The clip is 126 frames long at 23.976 FPS (24)
40, 62, 85
I think this will be a 5 mask job and masks 1 and 2 are finished as not much changes in them bar straight lines moving up and inwards... then theres the middle... look at this gif

Thats it zoomed into every 4 frames (at 24 FPS)
This 1 FIVE SECOND CLIP has eaten up 5 hours of my life every night for 3 weeks
Rotoscoping its called. Essentially you remove a background with masking but you have to do it frame by frame. Its tough so I want to do something nice for everyone.
On here and on my YouTube I will release clips that I worked hard on with a download link or with a greenscreen so yous can use them if yous wish. I know people out here are proper artsy fartsy with some stuff but I want to help some people out as well. I only ask for credit for the clips yous use and by that I mean just say you for that specific clip from me and anyone can use it.
I know half the work in this game is half the fun and mainly 1/4 of the basic idea of it but: Some people don't have the time to do this or cant do it or get bored of the idea of it.
But I'll do it - I want to be decent at editing up some stuff and this is the easiest way to practice. Plus yous get nice clips too ;)
Win Win haha.
(See my previous journal for a link to my YouTube where these clips will soon be available) -
It's been a while

You know what's weird?
I'm 22 now.
So much has changed since my 1st journal post and yet... nothing has really changed as well.
I watch much less anime due to my job, but I still edit.
I still have the same friends - and yet managed to make new ones too.
I still use the same software.
I'm not pushing out videos like the way I did in the past. I am fighting for my YouTube channel OF THIS NAME back after being striked out by a video that striked out my other channel, yet I still have the other channel.
The channel of this name had all of my old videos uploaded as back-ups on Private yet I only get 1 back. I did put some private work up on it to check for copyrights and blocks but that was it.
Now I sit here... at half 6 in the morning wondering if any of this actually means anything. There is no doubt in my mind that nobody will read this but if you do - leave some opinions on this video.

I wish i could show you some of my works from the "hiatus" i took. I say that but in actuality (and its a funny story)
I had no idea this account was unbanned until I accidentally logged in 1 day to find +99 comments and 100x the subscriber count. Mental aint it. To push it right over the line I had a video with 1 MILLION views... It currently has nearly 5 million views and the subs keep coming.
If only they would watch the new content I push out and give me feedback eh.
Anyone got any tips for getting my old channel back? -
Creation of an Idea - It's Key.

Back when I started I was pulling ideas from videos, Not in anyway original. I started in 2009, Its now 2013. Four years. I matured.
Being in Highschool at the time I cared more about my outer school activities but Anime. On a whim I watched it. I'll tell that story at a later point. I saw Bleach with the Ichigo vs Grimjow stuff and though "That would make an epic music video". Armed with Realplayer and Camtasia Studio I got to work on what would be my birth.
Soon I would split with my girlfriend, her terms not mine. I took my pain out in 1 music video. That helped alot. I knew what it was for emotion to be conveyed. I looked at that video a while ago before being banned. I felt my pain, but it was crap. I compare What i HAD made to what i CAN make and what i WILL make and i see a chain of evolution:
Camtasia > Movie Maker > Sony Vegas > Adobe Premier > Adobe After Effects
The list is now a union:
Sony Vegas > Adobe Premier > Adobe After Effects
I use premier when I need to make a quick video with no effects. AP (for short) is my weakest point. For detailed videos with power I use Vegas and After Effects. After Effects cuts my episodes up and adds effects. Vegas for music and timing. Its worth it though. Look out my my Egypt Central School Days Backfire video That is a 30 min job with premier.
