Miscallaneous Site Updates

2009-01-23T14:42:00.000-08:00

I usually don't chime in (seeing as I'm not a bell). But, there was a bit of site maintenance last night and this morning. I went to update some miscellany and the server crashed. Then, this morning, the server was up and I did the updates. What does this all add up to? The possibility that someone tried to access the site and failed. It wasn't your fault. And, half the time, it wasn't mine either.

Let's move on.

Updates include all kinds of things that no-one will notice!!!

Will's animated films have been re-compressed! The previous source was Mini-DV, which I thought was a terrible format. Turns out it's only a poor format. However, QT/FLV codecs would never betray the format's not-completely-terribleness. Anyway, I dropped all his animated shorts into H264 before compressing them to flash. There might be a slight loss in color saturation, but it's a massive improvement over Mini-DV's ill-converted chroma/luminence jaggy-compression. Y'all know what I'm talkin' 'bout?!? Whoot Whoot!!!
Also, typos. There were some typos on the site. There are less now.
Mao's credits also got a slight injection and they're going to get another one very soon. Just have to finish post production on this piece.

Anyway, I hope you're enjoying the site. But, even more, I hope you're enjoying your life.

Much love,
Xippy

EPIC Update!

2008-12-20T14:31:00.000-08:00

Hey folks two pretty big updates. We just added two new films. The first is the "Metropolis Glitterball" event video. The second is the "Phobia Party" hosted by After Party. Glitterball is our featured new video on the mainpage, but you can also visit the Films page to check them both out.

We also gave the films page a major overhall to make room for the new videos. We have now added an "Events" section. We also added a small info box to the right to credit the directors as well.

Please check out the main site to see the new updates. As always, please leave some feedback and enjoy the site.
