OK, this is freaky.
To line up the opening footage for this video, I had to do some creative trimming on the old and new Uru opening movies.
The video of the blue bahroglphys, when positioned where I want it later in in the video, has to be set to 120% speed to accomplish the desired effect.
But what's curious is another piece of video that I didn't have to change. The timing of the pulses on the Delin door matches the timing of the bass notes starting at 3:28.

I call it serendipity, Marten... and you seem to draw it to you, whether you realize it, or not!

This stuff is pretty cool. Looking forward to the completed masterpiece!

I would help out, but I'm going to be busy all day Saturday, and Sunday the plan is to purchase a grill and set it up. Might have some time Sunday evening, but I'm not sure..

In conjunction with a certain proposal, I'll soon be ready to resume working on this video project. (I have a Documentary to finish first, although that is getting closer to completion each night.)
Here's the outline of the movie once more with a new explanation of how the words, the pictures, and the music fit together. Some of this I've filmed, other parts I still need to capture.
Talk
Scenes from dreams. Dry, brown clouds. Katha Island. A dark Relto (Phil's?). Arriving at the Cleft.
| Quote: | Oh brother I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you 'cause I don't know what to do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you
Oh I wanna talk to you |
An explorer arrives at the Cleft and finds Zandi to be enigmatic at best. Another explorer starts Yeesha's hologram, only to be babbled at in a foreign language. A third person examines the glyphs in Eder Kemo showing the treatment of the Bahro. A fourth looks at the Journey stone on the neighborhood balcony. Explorers gather to await Yeesha. Yeesha appears... but is silent.
| Quote: | You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung
Or do Something that's never been done |
A bahro stone appears in neighborhoods. A Restoration Engineer captures a photograph of the Bahro. The Bahro stone leads to the City. An explorer in Gahreesen reaches the top of the prison building. Explorers dance in a neighborhood. An explorer leaps towards the lava in Eder Gira, linking out mere moments before fiery doom.
(unfinished)
| Quote: | Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how do you feel?
Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me |
An explorer tries to get help from Victor Laxman, but he's too busy running/linking away from Cate. A Restoration Engineer cannot answer someone's question (talktothehand!). An explorer scratches his head, staring at the symbols in the Kadish gallery. Bahroglyphs display on Tweek's imager. Pictures in the Cleft cave glow with an eerie, blue light.
| Quote: | So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung or do
Something that's never been done, do
Something that's never been done |
An explorer stands in Negilahn and snaps a photograph as the portal appears. Another explorer walks up the stairs in the Museum, where four books appear on pedestals. An explorer solves the Kadish clock puzzle and begins an arduous climb. (unfinished) An explorer discovers Laxman hiding behind the door in Eder Kemo.
Symbols illuminate on a door in Eder Delin. Explorers celebrate the arrival of the portal in Dereno. A series of scenes of explorers, running through the city. (unfinished)
| Quote: | So you don't know where you're going and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored
Nothing's really making any sense at all, let's talk
Let's talk, let's talk, let's talk |
Explorers wander aimlessly. An explorer returns to the Cleft to finish the circle. Explorers try to talk to others, but the others walk away. Explorers shake their heads. Explorers meet with the DRC.

Video is almost done. There are some nice surprises, changes from the above summary.
Still need to fill a few holes. Could still use help sometime. Maybe next weekend when everyone hops on for Scars?

How about 8PM PDT Tonight? It should not take long. I only need about 15 seconds of video.
And the finished video should be up about an hour after the filming.
