ok, i think i figured it out!
it's over 46 minutes long an probably the most annoying thing or the most playful thing i've created in quite a while :)
it feels good to have made this after all this time.
windows movie maker will take an hour to save what i have made,

and god knows how long it will take to upload it to you or if after i upload it, anyone besides 5 peolpe will be able to download it. and out of those five 1.2 % will actually enjoy it :)

*I* injoyed it immensely :)
so there is that :)

and so, *I* am satisfied on that level, although i know it could be edited beter if i only knew what i was doing.
the anamates are in alphabetical order and the soundfiles mostly quite haphazard, yet it makes it's own sernedipitous thing :)

as soon i it's saved i will attempt to upload for you :)
it's pretty trippy :)

well, i'm trying to add sound to my video, and i dn't get this whole windows movie maker "timeline" thing nor anything else when it comes to adding sound.
so it came up with this very accidental "thing" called "snippets"
still working on how to join my 5 "movies" that are 5 minutes a piece together.
the windows media player seems to not want to do that and instead edit my videos very very much, randomly, by itself.
argh.

argh, ok, i reuploaded my 5 "movies" and tried to add the together with no sound...and it still edited it down to 2 monites when i know it should be at least 20 minutes.
fuck a duck.
why?
i did also notice that when i converted some mov filed to avi, the original files were HIGHLY shortened.

so it would seen windows movie maker has an automatic thing in it that will cut off anything it thinks is too long?

10:44pm

all this time i have been connecting all the anamates with windows movie maker.
converting mov files to wmv so i can add those in too.
i have now made 5 movie "anamates" that are around 5 to 6 minutes long.
then i am going to add sound to it all :)
i think it will be cool :)
i've wanted to do this for long. thank goodness for windows movie maker!
why did i not about this before?
i tried connecting my videos long ago but do to different frame rates and formates, i never could make it wor.
somehow windows movie maker just fixes everything for you automatically. huzzah!
i'm wondering if then i could take the large 1/2 an hour wmv file i will have and convert into into a flash animation?
that way it will be actually more easily downloadable and seeable.

6:14pm

is there anyone who would take these and make them into ONE avi, mov, or mpeg?
(with no repeats, for instance sometimes i have the same thing twice just in 2 different formats)
and then put this sound piece with it: http://www.anacam.com/swas/anavoog_mybrain.mp3
and then if you need extra sounds, there are some silly wav files i made long ago amongst these links you can add in to it all.
in return i will give you free ana2, give you a hat or some art or both, or come up with some other arrangement.
i think it would be cool to have all these little "anamates" as one file, as sort of a "retrospective arty short movie thing"

or maybe combine them into several pieces, like 3 shorter ones instead of one big long one?

or use some of my music here:

anamates: (argh, some of these files won't open, i don't know why)

or does anyone know of a free simple programme i could download off the net to do this myself?
i am just lost on how to get all of these different formats into one cohesive thing and be able to connect them together?

4:48pm

it's april!
but it's another grey day.
there are going to be a few sunny days in the next week, i cannot wait.
i need to get back outside and start walking and excercising.
i think i've put on some extra pounds.
2 weeks until i leave for portal.
i don't know why, but i can't imagine it happening, and that disturbs me a little, because usually when i canno imagine something happening, it means it is not going to happen.
so i sure hope i can start visualizing it happening SOON!
i feel very unfocused, unmotivated and out of it lately.
i really need to make a shift.
i think i just need to get out and walk, and get the energy moving.
i feel spiritually clogged.
i need to shake things up. jump up and down. dance to prince.
open my windows, spring clean, get things moving.

Horoscope for Aries (April 1 2006)

A brief but positive aspect between your ruling planet and the moon should set you up nicely for the weekend. You might find that you're feeling in a more sedate mood today and you should indulge your softer side. Music, dancing, and cozy chats will appeal today.

and

This influence can signify any one of several different effects. It can indicate a time when emotional contact with friends is very important to you. If you or your friend has something very personal to say, something that touches either of you at a deeper emotional level than usual, this is a good time to say it. Contact between yourself and friends is much deeper than usual now. A related effect of this influence is to bring a female friend or friends into prominence in your life, and in general you should find it easier to get along with them now. In friendships you will probably feel more protective and supportive than usual, or you will attract someone who gives you needed emotional support.

and

You like the idea of being able to face difficulty with courage. Now, however, you might choose to avoid a challenge and engage in retail therapy instead. Go out and buy yourself something beautiful with one, and only one, purpose in mind -- to make you feel good. This may not be a long-term solution and it certainly isn't spiritual, but it's just what the metaphysical doctor might order.
