First Printing

Feb 09, 2006 12:46

Last night and into this morning, I've begun the two-dozen-disk first "printing" of my DVD of the road trip. It takes a long time to burn 24 DVDs! I'm hoping to have some letters written up today and be able to hit the post office and begin mailing them out. I'm praying this will be cheap. I wish I had one of them weight scales so I could find out ( Read more... )

Or you could save some money and put all the stuff online.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I rest my case, homes. There's no way I can put a 4 GB project online. The movie... probably not. the only way you're gonna see a copy of the slideshow is to ask for a DVD. As for pictures, I'm close to deciding NOT to put them online (In mass) because I don't have the disk space. If you want the photos in their original pure form, you have two options: Ask for a copy of the DVD or bring your computer over to my place and copy the photos to your own hard drive. My online space with 1&1 is too small to house everything. 250 MB would hold maybe 50 photos. I've got 1,800. Not happening.

I used Final Cut Pro (A $1,500 application) on a Mac with a bunch of little helper apps (To whip the photos themselves into shape) but the bulk of the editing was in Final Cut. I don't know if you remember me using Adobe Premiere for Imaginings back in the day (Can you believe that was 4 years ago?) but Final Cut is mostly like that but with some better stability and with built-in title features and filters.

or just use iweb and drag/drop the photos. publish to a folder. upload it to a webspace. 10 minutes later the world can see it.

LOL you insist the world cares. But alas, only you want to see the photos online. Since demand is that low, the web photo archive comes last. I'm sorry, dude, more people wanted the DVD than to have the photos online. Now that the DVD is done, I can focus on the website, but I'm not going to be able to put all the photos online unless I cropped them down to 200x160 pixels. The website I'll be making will only have a couple dozen of the best photos. There's nothing I can do about that because, frankly, I don't care and demand is very low (One person). That and you can't hold 1,800 photos in the 250 MB of webspace 1&1 gives us. Not possible. Even with a full GB, I couldn't do it. Deal.
