What’s up, doc

I’m not a frequent writer, am I? There are various reasons for that. And one of them is I’m having trouble keeping all information channels up-to-date. And running couple more blogs does not help much either. I’m even working on the belated startup of an yet another web media project. It’s been in the works for 2 years, but now might be a good time to finally bring it to life. And I can safely bet it won’t make my life any easier.

Remember that little book of mine I was talking about sometime ago? Good news is it’s being printed as I type and it’s premiere will most probably be on February 2nd. Also known as “the hookers and pimps day” in Bulgaria lol.

In the meantime I decided to do something quite unusual. Unusual because I dropped 3D and video production more than 10 years ago and went web. Nevertheless, I decided to make a video. An EVE video. An epic EVE video. Took me 40 days and most of the time was spent “shooting” scenes. Post production itself took about 15 hours or so. Final result is satisfactory for something I haven’t done for a very long time. But nothing is perfect and I almost fainted when I saw a very annoying glitch right in the beginning. It’s caused by simple overlooking and even that it won’t be obvious to the majority of watchers, it’s still inadmissable – planet scene fade is just a second shorter and that causes slight bump when next scene kicks in. Problem is one can’t just replace video on YouTube. And I’m not changing it now, when its popularity surprisingly exploded.

I will be doing more videos in my free time (unless someone hires me to do it for money) when I take enough new good scenes, so watch my YouTube channel. Also watch my Vimeo channel, where all YouTube videos will be doubled. Why is that? Simply – because there are “legal” issues on YouTube.

Aight, enough talking, where is teh video?! Oh well, here it is. I chose not to embed it, so you can watch it in it’s full resolution.

Clicky to watchy mah spaceships pew pew video

“Anyway thanks for introducing me to Kasabian, I’ve got their most recent album (after watching this vid) and it’s genius. Cheers.”

Now, dear YouTube… I know copyrights are a bitch. And I know you’ve been persuaded by publishers to enforce certain fail actions (such as muting a video). But check this out. Do you (all) really believe I am going to license a specific track just to put it in my just-for-fun video, when I do actually own a legal copy of the same album? This is ridiculous! Especially when you take into consideration the simple fact this video (and all other videos sporting a music track) does indeed boost sales! Check out quote in the blue square. That’s a real person, not bullshit I pull out of my ass. So, there you go – 13 bucks down your pocket. And I put my balls on this – he’s not the only one. Welcome to the new millennium btw, seems like your are still stuck in the early 90′s. Well, maybe it’s about time to move the fuck on and adopt a brand new paradigm?

p.s. Sony, dudes, your Vegas Pro is amazing! Even that I won’t be paying nearly 600 quid for shits and giggles anytime soon…
