erilyn | brain: still eaten

I watched an avi of my video project on the tv for the first time. And took a page of notes. Fortunately, mostly the notes are "loud", "soft", "trim this", "pixellated" with one or two "top of heads cut off".

Firstly, I don't hate it. I may have even enjoyed it. Still not sure how much everyone else will, but this is progress. The other day I wanted to delete it.

Secondly, the volume differences between different sources are as obvious as I feared. But I knew I was gonna have to spend a while increasing/decreasing a number of the clips.

Thirdly, what I hadn't planned on was re-making a bunch of the dvd-sourced clips. Many of them are so incredibly boxy-pixellated that they look worse than clips of much lower quality. I'm gonna export the file to mpeg2 and make a dvd, to see if the avi was the problem, but yuck.
