Festivids was truly a joy. (The original vid post is over here.) If it continues, I will definitely be participating next time. Go check out all the other amazing vids here. A big thanks to yhlee & giandujakiss for being awesome and making festivids a reality. Kudos to all the people who guessed this was me. Yes, I am obvious & predictable.
Tech Note: I had quite a struggle with aspect ratios, converting, and subsequent audio quality. (I use WMM, and the only 2 aspect ratio options in it are 4:3 or 16:9.) This was a problem I had encountered before, but I always gave up and moved on to another vid project. However, the fact that I was making this for someone else forced me to get creative with a solution. Not wanting to disappoint someone is a great motivator for me apparently, lol. It's probably still not exactly right, and I still have a lot to learn about the technical side of vidding, but festivids was a great learning experience for me in that regard. Also, it was great fun! I had a blast.
For anyone curious, the movie's title roughly translates to "Go for it, India!" or "Let's go, India!"
