Atari Video Music
I own a vintage Atari Video Music console and I made this demonstration video with the Radio:Tahiti song, "One Step from the End," which may appear in the ANB&B soundtrack because I wrote it. The video looks a little choppy, probably because of frame errors in file conversion, but it's still kind of arty in its own way.

RIP Don LaFontaine
As a film fan and filmmaker, I join in mourning the passing of voice-over master Don LaFontaine and I regret that I can't have his voice in my own future trailers.

Leerone - Care for Some Whiskey
(Cross-posted from Lestermix because of the video's ambitious filmmaking qualities)
Leerone introduced herself to me by e-mail this week. Before I saw how pretty she is, I already saw a very ambitious and successful stop-motion video unfolding:
You should go to the page on YouTube and see the credited talent that helped with producing the video, under "more info."

Communist-era Romanian "Red Western" Trilogy
For as long as Google allows, I share my recent discovery of the "Ardelenii" trilogy, the adventures of three Transylvanian brothers making their way in the American Old West, always struggling against hostile and greedy neighbors.
Profetul, Aurul si Ardelenii (1978):
Artista, Dolarii si Ardelenii (1979):
Pruncul, Petrolul si Ardelenii (1980):
I think these can serve as great exercises for learning the Romanian language as well as good, campy fun.

Another Small Step
I found out how to crop video in Quicktime Pro for widescreen effect (as well as how to letterbox for uploads) so I shot this raw footage outside this window. I just used a cheap, older webcam and Windows Movie Maker. For the first clip, I think I used two brightness reductions and a watercolor effect in WMM. It might not be interesting but I kind of like the impressionistic effect I got and I'm looking forward to what I can do with higher resolutions. I didn't use any effects for the second one.

Site Meter Removed
I've been slow to learn about this. Apparently news of Site Meter sending spyware cookies is real, so I am now removing it from all of my blogs. I never want to facilitate any kind of malware problems for my visitors.

Open Ends
Recent events may have rendered ANB&B dead as a project. I'd like to say there's something left of the project to put faith in but I really don't see it now. I thank and apologize to those who visited and held hope. Something may yet be salvaged from it but, please understand, there may not be a revised decision posted for a while yet, as you might expect from the frequency of my past posts.
The essence of the project deserves something of a continued effort, and I shall give it, though probably not anytime very soon after this post. I'll let you know in due time.
