Watch it on RetrowareTV
This super sweet title card made by Vee
Once I stopped being lazy this video wasn't actually all that difficult to make, though I had some issues balancing pictures and game footage. But in the end I am really happy with it, I think I'd put it in my top 5 videos so far. The issues came with that fact that with it being 11 mins long and with so much going on the file was huge. So knowing blip I decided to upload my own FLV as there would be no way they would convert it without timing out.
I experimented with a few programs to get a good flv version and by Monday evening I was satisfied. Since I still had an extra day I messed with it some more and got an even better version! But come that evening when I was uploading it all fell apart. First Blip's FTP server was screwy as it kept kicking me then telling me my password was wrong. So I only got part of the video uploaded. I decided to watch that video to make sure it streamed right....IT DIDN'T. The video just kept buffering so I had to rework the video file and get a good looking one with a lower bit rate. After finally getting that done I couldn't get the FTP to work so I had to use the web upload and hope it didn't time out like it usually does for me. But it is up and all is well! Hope you enjoy this one, I could go on with a back story about when I decided to do this video but I won't as this is already getting long.
