This was on the Saturday after Guy Fawkes Night at Cassiobury Park, in Watford, Hertfordshire, England. I’ve had to split it into 2 videos due to YouTube’s ~10-minute video duration limit. Please excuse the couple of times when the focus was lost, which was actually when I was trying to improve the focus. I’m especially glad with how the sound came out, except at the point when my camcorder split the recording to a second file, and when 2 noisy people suddenly appeared next to my left ear (both of these things happened in the second YouTube video).
Just parts of a little fireworks display held in a village which I live in, in Hertfordshire (UK). It’s only a small display. I had previously been recording something in standard-definition quality and forgot to set my camcorder back to HD before recording this. orz
Eye was the strongest, who also carried around around a “soundcase” (sound suitcase) which Dnstje helped me to make. It was playing the music most of the times in this video.
This was the announcing of the winners of the AMV competition on 20th September at Abunai! 2009 in Zwolle, Holland. Congratulations, everyone! Sorry about not recording it from the very beginning, but I was desperately trying to change the battery in my camcorder as fast as I could, in the dark.
Name: Wesley (Dnstje)
Title: De Wereld Draait Door
Audio: De Heideroosjes - De Wereld Draait Door [The world rushes by]
Video: Uh… it’s probably best to look at the many credits on his AMV. xD
So, for the last 3 days, I was blissfully unaware that anyone who tried to access my site saw this.
Mr “W4n73d”, Satori’s 3rd Eye “ownz” you. Anyway, if any people feel like hacking 203.252.84.196 , please feel free to do so. Pic related (credit goes to Nanatsu).
Dnstje, a friend of mine, made this remote-controlled yukkuri Reimu head, which also has a speaker for playing sound from things such as an iPhone connected to the controller. A bunch of Touhou fans formed around us, so Dnstje played some Touhou-related remixes on the yukkuri as we all chased it around the various rooms of the Abunai convention, seeing everyone’s reactions. =D
The alarms at 03:13 and 03:31 were set off by the FM transmitter (controller). xD
Sorry for the many fast-forwarded clips, but it was VERY hard to squeeze about 25 minutes of footage down to the length of the song. I tried to completely remove the most boring parts, and I sped up the parts where it took a while for anything different to happen.
I’ve been lucky enough to be able to travel to the Netherlands to attend Abunai, a convention to do with anime, manga and other Japanese stuff. The con lasted 3 days (Friday to Sunday), and we had to camp at a nearby place and travel between there and the convention site each day, using bikes we’d rented from the camp site.
So… for now, photos! Click any photo to see the full-size version. Here are a few which I took…

…and here are a lot more which a friend of mine took (including a few of mine, since he wanted to fill up his PhotoBucket account):
Here’s a preview for a compilation video which my brother is intending to make at the end of this month, containing the best sunsets he’s able to record in time-lapse. I thought it was pretty cool, and deserves more views than it’s getting, so I’m posting it here in the hope that more people will see it.
One day in June this year, I decided to do a time-lapse recording of the sky. Little did I know that the weather would turn around a full 360° to how it was when I started it. I’m not complaining, though, since I find thunderstorms awesome. However, that’s why the view shifts around so much around the lightning part - I wanted to record the lightning/thunder at its normal speed as well as it being a part of the time-lapse video, so I repositioned the camcorder to try to get a slightly better view of things.
Thanks to my brother (Steeeven1 on YouTube) - it was him doing his own time-lapse video a couple of days ago which made me finally be bothered to edit this video which I recorded 3 months ago.
EDIT: Thankfully, all is back to normal now. What you read about below is what was happening until today.
Seeing as this is taking more than a few hours to resolve, I feel I should actually make a post explaining the situation regarding this.
On Monday, someone informed me of a copy of my video and suggested that I try to get YouTube to remove it. Being no stranger to the process, I sent off an email to YouTube… but shortly after, got one back telling me that my own video at been removed, due to a copyright claim from… wait for it… myself. This is not the first time which YouTube has made the exact same mistake with the exact same video - it happened on the 10th of February this year, too.
They replied to a second email I sent them, in which I explained to them that they removed the wrong video. They told me, “There has been a mistake by our system”, and said that the problem would be resolved shortly. …That was 22 hours ago. I’m not sure what their definition of “shortly” is, but in my opinion, that’s a long time to wait for the “leader in online video” to solve a problem which they caused so quickly.
</Rant>
So, that’s how things currently stand. As of now, if you try to view the video, you will get a message telling you that it’s unavailable due to a copyright claim from myself. On the plus side, I’m now actually using my blog as a blog! =D
