Excellent video. I would recommend a subtle bass track.

Things I really enjoyed:

* quality of lip synch
* quality of video - did you add fake focal blur after or was it genuine during closeup of paper, for e.g.?
* Nels avoiding eye contact with camera except occasionally and then looking away apologetically
* Not a thing I enjoyed per se, but I think Memorex made floppy disks, too? That's where I seem to remember the brand name from anyway. I think I absorbed the slogan through the ambient ad-o-sphere without ever having seen it
* Magritte allusion. How did you do the floating apple fx??

Excellent video!

P.S. I understand the joke in the title.

Chris, thanks very much. I have an MP3 but I am too cranky at technology to finish it up today. I will post it soon.

Actually: This is my first video with my new camera, the Canon 5D mk II. The other ones were with the Canon HF100, which is a good camcorder, but this is a digital SLR that also shoots 1080p video through real lenses. (I used my three main lenses for this, the 100mm f/2.8 macro, the 50mm 1.4, and the 17-40 f/4L for the band shots, which actually I think came out pretty crummy.) It's what I've wanted for ages and I am so happy that it finally exists that I will suffer through insufferable crashy softwares to enjoy it.

The thing about laser suspension womb is that it's sort of the soft way.

Holy crap, this is amazing. I adore the fruit face. The whole thing looks and sounds great. Is there an MP3?

I know you've said somewhere before, but what camera is it you have? The quality is impressive.

Thanks! Only in my brain. The tableau reflects I think my photographic upbringing. Works for music videos, though.

Laser Suspension Womb? Wowzer, what is that? Sounds like vagina dentata for the space age.

Oh thanks, I fixed that link (new template, didn't test it).

Yes, the video software is garbaging. This was driving me bats but now I am fed and have some coffee and a new stoploss policy. I will prevail.

Ugh, gross. The Vega software or your music software?

I spent all night and this morning dealing with this POS software crashing left and right?!

Bring on the LOMH Mein noodles.

I also thought that is was funny that stahl is the German word for 'steel,' thus making Steelerstahl extra funny for people like Kevin.

hah, thanks for keeping this invincible thread alive. :) Man, I think I still haven't played a shooter that I've liked as much as Q3.. Anybody have any recommendations for games I might have missed?
