UPDATE- Here's a 75% smaller version of HOT AIRThis is what I've been doing today. It needs some tweaking, but for a first effort I'm kind of pleased. I will appreciate your comments and suggestions. |

Al Gore's Hot Air - A Movie

Rodger, I think it's an excellent start. I'm no genius when it comes to making/editing movies, but I would:
1) Shorten the opening; Either make the "Hot Air" scroll faster, or not scroll at all. Make the transitions from scene to scene a little faster (I always found it too "Acid Like" with slow transitions). The transition to "Dude with his chick floating on a board" is perfect (me thinks) I wouldn't change it.
2) Kill the segment where Al-Gore walks in and shakes dick-head-John Stewart's hand, it's kinda irrelevent. Everyone already knows these two knuckle-heads take showers together in the wee early morning hours.
3) Immediately cut, after John Stewart says "I'm sorry, what's the phrase?". Maybe add a screen of all of the names that everyone has called climate change over the years (El Nino, La Nina, Climate Crisis, yada yada ya).
4) Add some facts about how many Ice Ages we've gone through over a gazillion years and the fact that the eeevil S.U.V.'s weren't around to get us through all of them.
Again, my two cents aren't worth shit, but you asked for comments!

Thanks Jack, but you don't have to be a mechanic to know if your car runs right or not.

Andy's points are good, but it's all lilly-gilding. Bravo herr Schlong, well done! I've already mailed it off to my favo lib and scientist.
BTW, History channel had a great piece that ran yesterday on "The Little Ice Age", that happened 300 years ago, and changed almost everything about our world today. It caused Northern Euros to become beer & whiskey bibers, and kick-started the first wave of migration to North America.

Super Serial, Rodger! Your blog does smack a smile on my face. :D
So, now that you've been working on all of these new projects, I suspect it's not just for funtimes?

Great Rodge, except although you show a lot of "A", it's the wrong kind of "A" and I didn't see any "T" at all. My suggestion: More "T" and better "A".

That was pretty good Rog. I like the South Park cut ins. I might have to actually watch that show once or twice.

Juice, even though I cleaned up yesterday with $2 (Thanks MM) and at least $5 in pledges, if I knew how to make money off of this deal, I would do it.

Rodger. That was great. I thought I was watching something from a YouTube and floored when I saw the credits (lol) I think its pretty damn good. I saw that interview and I thought you worked it good.
It's on my h/d. Posterity:-)~ - 7/1/06, 2:48 AM
