I wanted to mention four things to anyone who would be interested, and as no one around me fits that description I’ll post it here. Hopefully I won’t make a habit of posting drivel, but I think I’ll allow myself to do so this time:

1. If you visit this site you’ll notice that I added a feed list to the right which is from my Google Reader “shared items.” I’m addicted to 3D related news so I’m subscribed to a whole bunch of feeds. Google Reader makes it oh-so-convenient in that it’s web based and I can do things like shared items, so I thought I would share what I find interesting. I hope it doesn’t make my site too “myspacey” which I would loathe.
2. I watched Disney’s “Bolt” trailer a couple of days ago and normally I’m not impressed with trailers, but the hamster (named Rhino) was so well animated it is certainly worth noting. The hamster certainly stands out to me as a brilliant character from both a technical and artistic view and is hysterical to watch. What was in the trailer I hope was a window into the overall performance of the character, and if it is, the animators of Rhino should be congratulated.
3. I recently upgraded my machine which included a new monitor. For the past few weeks I lived with the colors which always seemed to be oversaturated until I put it to myself to see what I could do with the color profiles. Lo and behold, thanks to this page, I got the colors where they needed to be and now everything looks great.

   Hi!
   I’m a newby looking for tips on the basics of the free video and 3d editors so that I can use them and share the knowledge. I’ve stumbled across your site and found the Jashaka tutorial. What a godsend! For somebody who has never dabbled with video editing, this looked pretty daunting. With what I’ve learnt here, I feel confident about playing with some of the other options. So thanks for that.
   Browsing your site brought me here, and I’d like to thank your for pointing out the monitor tuning page. I’ve learnt something else!

   Cheers,

   Dave

   Hi Dave!

   I have got to say that your comment has got to be the one that made me the most the glad. Thank you very much for the complement! I really liked Jahshaka when I was using it, but the project slowed to a halt until recently so I hope the next version of Jahshaka will become my editor/compositor of choice. If you are looking for other free video editing choices Blender has a sequencer that can be used for things like that and can be used with Blender’s compositor.

   Also, I’m glad you found the montitor tuning link…. so many people are suffering from poor color!

   P.S. Checked out your site… Love the Apophysis background!
