First Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 video AND first video. Yes, I know about the light flicker, I just couldn't wait to animate.
It's focus, lighting, and animation testing. I don't think this is worth an upload to BiM...
Watch the northen part of the sky for the Aurora Borealis tonight, and tomorrow night!

Those were really harsh flickers. They sort of had the appearance of a camera flash, not the subtle level fluctuation of the light. But a good first video.
I feel like a complete and utter moron. I've been animating this film for the past three days, and it's been taking me forever to animate, partially because I've got really long lines, and partially because I'm using the Quickcam Pro 9000 on my laptop for the first time, and weird stuff's been happening (the zoom disappeared, for instance).
Now tonight, I rendered some of the footage, and when I put it alongside the line, it didn't match up! I stared at the paper on which I'd mapped out certain movements, and I stared at the audio of the line itself in Papagayo, until I felt like I was going mad. Finally, I realized that when installing Papagayo for the first time on my laptop, I failed to change it from displaying in '24 fps' to '15 fps', thus, I have apparently been secretly shooting a 24 fps film the whole bloody time! I re-rendered the footage in Videomach, and this time the line matched up, of course.
The weird thing is, it really doesn't look too bad. A tad fast, yes, but considering how silly the film is, it sort of accentuates it. At any rate, it's too frigging late to stop now, because I've already taken 2,000 frames!
- Shale, who is now shooting his first 24 fps film
I just saw a license plate that said WTF
I laughed so hard!!!!!!

Ouch, that sucks Shale. I'm still interested in seeing the full film. 
Wrote a screenplay for a small movie. This will probably be a brickfilm but don't get your hopes up yet 
.
WIZI, if I'd seen that then I would've rofl-ed
Which one of our sigs do you guys like the best? This one:
Or our current one?
There both pretty amateur, the top one is stretched. The bottom one is better though.
I wish everyone would realize that you don't have to have a signature of 400x100 pixels. Especially when it's unnecessary and/or negatively contributes to the image.
I am trying to make the highlighted bits, any help on were to post it in Bricks?

So are you saying that they're bad 
?
Well, you stretched the images to make them 400 pixels wide. It'd be better to not stretch them, yeah.
I only like 400x100 signatures if it makes sense, stylistically.
Well, how do you make the image 400x100 without stretching the image? In a photo editing program.

You don't. 400x100 is a maximum, not a requirement.
Both those signatures are eye sores. Crop it, don't stretch it.
