Has It Been So Long?

Wow, if I waited just a couple of months this would almost be a year "in progress".

Well, not quite "in progress".
Real life and my own requirements for quality meant I had to wait for a hardware upgrade before I could start properly.

Well finally the hardware upgrade is complete.
Here are the specs in all there shining glory:

Intel C2D E6600
4gb PC-6400 RAM
Asus P5B Deluxe Motherboard
Geforce 8800 GTS 320mb
1 x 74GB Raptor
1 x 150GB Raptor
5x500GB Samsung Spinpoints = 2TB Raid 5

So what does this mean for the movie?
Well, I can now capture at 1280x720, 60fps solid with Fraps.

People put the application down, not sure why. For me, it means I can capture at full speed and not have to do any post-processing. Personally, the moment you take source footage and have to change it before you can even work on it means you are always going to have decreased footage quality to work with.

Anyway, thats enough chatter for now, time to find some inspiration :)
