The Trials & Errors of HD

I sit here, in front of my computer, with a smug look on my face. I have recently graduated from high school (Class of ’09!), and it is now summer! And with summer, comes a lot of free time… free time that will not be wasted… because there is a project that needs feeding… the Nintendo Boy Project! This summer will be a milestone for me because I have something now that will enhance us in the ranks of those top films you see on YouTube… well, not really, but our videos are gonna be amazing! Gahhhh, I’m getting excited just thinking about it!! [:HD. Two letters, yet so very powerful. I told you that I had recently graduated. My parents bought me a $600 Sony HD Handycam video recorder… to the say the least, it is quite aesthetically pleasing! This is the exact piece of equipment I’ve been dying for ever since I started making videos. We had the will, and there was a way, but we needed better mediums of making better quality films. Although what we had before wasn’t so bad, don’t you agree? Sooo yes… HD is now possible for my videos!! I’m so excited! But wow, it was not easy to get where I am now…

My adventure. Two words, yet so meaningless. Let me explain! Haha. I don’t know what made it so difficult for me to figure it out, as I consider myself quite a wiz at these types of things. But not this time. Sony had me. Maybe it’s because I’m NINTENDO BOY and not SONY BOY? Ehh, who knows. Haha, either way, I was determined to figure out how everything worked without reading the instructions. LAL, just kidding. I did read it… not much helped. After almost 3 days of working the super nice camera with amazing picture, and the Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platnium Premium Pro Pack (that’s alotta P’s), I have finally figured out how to best save the movie projects I work on when I edit. It’s something like HDV 1080pi with some other letters and numbers that I can’t remember. But after sooo many test uploads to YouTube (as well as test conversions to .mov for our new podcast), I finally got it. And our videos completely fit the YouTube widescreen player!!!! Yay! All the right settings. The perfect combination of behind-the-scene setups to have the finished video project very pleasing to watch. Nintendo Boy… from here on out.. will be in High-Definition, thanks to YouTube as well! :] Woot. Woot. lol. (:
I’m really excited about getting back into the swing of things. I doubt anyone is even reading this (well, I guess YOU are… thanks!!) since the site has been dead for almost half a year in terms of videos… and well, the rest of the site has had its share of cobwebs. Well, it’s the summer now, so it’s time to bring this back to life… and this time, in HD. My goal is to have a new video every week, more, if possible. I want to flood the video gallery with our pretty faces and witty lines… did I mention, which will be in HD?! Stay tuned for a new video at the end of the week… it’s gonna be amazing!! I promise… stick around and watch this site come back aaaalllliivvvveeee!!!! (thumbs up)

With summer soon approaching the time for The chosen one has come!
With my cool AWOL self i came up with a bunch of great ideas for the summer season and hope you all look forward to the upcoming entertainment. While you jsut imagine the Nintendo greatness let me redirect you to the amazing Scatman. I believe it is very appropriate for the celebration of this time. Nintendoboy and myself have graduated so we can be consideredfree men. Anyway back to the focus. with the lack of shows i bet you guys really want a newe episode. I can just ask for your patience and support and trust me when i say we have a great idea on the way. As far as i know it will include commentary on… on…. heck i I know you’ll have to ask nintendoboy. Anywa theres the update and what is happening. PEACE!

So Close, Yet So Far Away
GEEZ! What’s with the lack of updates on this site? I check it everyday! And my moderators are lacking in the BLOG department. LAL. Welll, let’s see, what to tell you? Well I guess I’ll go back from the last post. Man, almost a month ago. Doesn’t feel like it. Okay, so. Some new things… as I’m sure you’ve seen I have a twitter on the home page so you can keep track of me slash stalk me (preferably NOT the latter). If you’ve been keeping up, I’m not dead and am actually quite active on the world wide web. Perhaps you caught the tweet of me talking about filming in FL? Of course you do! Well that actually happened! Not even kidding. I got some filming done on a neat location, and I hope it will one day see the light… of YouTube. Haha. The filming I took would be the ending for a new video series I want to do… but it’s in the very early stages of… well, thinking. Ehhh. We’ll see. 🙂

Alright… sooo some more news related to the blog post title… maybe not as uplifting… but anyway… NEW YORK! I know I didn’t blog about it, but it was on my twitter (tee hee)! The trip has come and gone… and… I’m sad to say that I was not able to enter the Nintendo World Store. 🙁 When we had time to shop around Times Square, I managed to snap up the photo you see here of the Rockefeller Center, but it was not in our pre-determined perimeter of our shopping spree. D: So like I said… SO close!!! I didn’t even get to see the store with my own eyes. *tear* But I did spend my time with someone special! :]
Oh well… maybe the Nintendo World Store isn’t ready for Nintendo Boy… who knows. x.x Ehhh, so more news. I have 3 (THAT’S RIGHT, THREE) new scripts for possible new videos that I would like to shoot, but what do you care? All you want is results. My goal is to have the first one up before May. Cross your fingers!! Oh, and I have been working on a little neat thing for you iPod fans… it’s been so frustrating, but I think I may have it down… all of you with your iTunes, and your fancy iPods will soon be able to carry The Nintendo Boy Project with you on the go via our brand new Video Podcast, free! (Haha, but who is gonna want that, honestly?)
