Since I’m a sick kitten and bed-bound, I’ve been teaching myself to edit and compress video on my laptop. I made a little project out of the first videos I shot with my new video camera (an older 2006 Sony DSC-M2 I ordered out of backstock) at SXSW this year. The (admittedly low quality) video is of me walking around the Intel building they were tearing down; now that I’ve successfully played with compression settings (to keep my file sizes low) I’ll be shooting at higher quality. Episode page is here; embedded video and description is after the jump. ::koff::
Oh — and I took a sexy fever pic last night with the “medicine” Hacker Boy delivered to my doorstep on his way home.
in Austin, Texas for SXSW I happened upon a building demolition with my new videocamera, and shot this video in two parts — it’s not terribly exciting, unless you like twisted wreckage and industrial equipment (like I do). I put photos of the concrete carnage on my Flickr stream and a local commented with an explanation, saying, “Intel started building this as a design center during the boom. When the crash happened, it was abandoned and stood as a reminder of the crash, uninhabited, for years. Recently, the gov’t bought it to build a courthouse and it was imploded.”
