I'm now past mos eisley. hooray!!!! first time in months. I'm up to alderaan destruction and I'm pulling something special up for that. I've been working on this frame by frame for about 2 days now.

jump cut no more!

I've gone from

P4 2.8 HT
1GB ram
fx 5200 gerforce card
1.2ters storage
21" monitor

to

intel duo core 2.4
2gb ram
8800gtx
1.5 ters storage
21" monitor

I fancied quad core but just couldn't afford it.

the duo core I've got is very cost effective regards the performance price curve + there is a price drop from intel in june which apparently will make the duo core 2.4 about £130 + VAT making it very affordable. if you aren't buying for a month or two, hang on and get it then. duo core's kill stone dead AMD in the video editing stakes at present.

the majority of the second half of the film is colour balancing rather than fixing anything per se. I need to make another pass at the lightsabers., the transparencies aren't quite there yet.
