The High Status Male

Some of you guys need to get in shape.  Here’s a little inspiration, imagine having abs like this…

Imagine having a girlfriend with abs like that! This girl’s body is an absolute work of art. And she’s so sincere at the end… “If you’re vondering why I’m so hot and sweating, maybe you should try this workout?…“  I love that.

Go to YouTube and type “Zuzana fitness” into the searchbox.  She’s got a channel.  I’ve canceled my cable.

Well I’ve got my latest video production finished after a surprising amount of work, several weeks worth actually.  This project definitely grew more complex as it went along and the final product ended up being longer than I’d originally imagined it would be.  I guess it will probably exceed the attention span of a lot of folks (especially on YouTube, which is what it was intended for), but I wanted to talk about each of the books a bit and give you a sense of the philosophy that went into them, so it is what it is.

I had a lot of fun with the music mixing and stringing all the clips together, a nice break from writing all the time.

And as your extra special treat the Wizard himself steps out from behind the curtain and gives a brief hello and goodbye at either end! 

As always I would appreciate your comments.

Hey, I’m finally moving into the scary brave new world of video! I’ve been playing around with this new technology a little bit… always late and behind the curve as usual.  So I made up a little 3 minute test vid — it’s just a small article about being friends with women that I basically just read the voiceover to while a series of still photos drift along through the screen.  I just wanted to see how the software worked and I ended up having some fun with the pan and zoom feature.  This gives apparent motion to a still (boring) image and makes it look more professional.  (I used to be a photolab tech and still enjoy working with images.)

Anyway, here’s the video:

Kind of silly I guess in terms of content, but for just screwing around I’m pretty proud of it!   

It actually took some doing to figure out how best to make those titles — the text editor is a bit clunky — but I got a usable result that you can at least read.  You’ve really got to have patience putting these things together and be willing to wait for the software to render as it goes along.  If you try to stack up too many tasks the computer just locks up and forget it.  You’re really running the ol CPU at full throttle.  Fun stuff.   More to come soon…

Comments, comments please!!!…
