yeh, the funds cleared in my paypal account but they needed to be transferred to my paypal topup card because its a pay as you go visa card and the site doesn't accept paypal. I did this at 00.06am last night. They say that transferring from your paypal account to the top up card only takes 24 hours. the cash funds i had that i put on the card today went on immediately. i hate how paypal drags its heels
Forgive me if this sounds incredibly dense but what about sending them a cheque, by the time it's cleared in their account the paypal balance should have cleared in yours (if you offered to send them notification via fax or e-mail and sent it recorded delivery I'd imagine they would be duty bound to hold the camera for you).
The echeque thing is a well known rip-off, I'd avoid it like the plague.
Ady check your PM real quick

Or maybe they'd take a deposit because they know you definitely want it?

It may be too late now, but I applied for the Paypal credit card. I use it primarily for my Ebay or Amazon transactions, some of which can go up to a few hundred dollars or more. The cool thing is that I can send a payment directly from my bank account or from my paypal account to pay off the card, all within the usual 20 to 30 day grace period at no interest. That way I can buy something expensive now and have a full month to pay it off.
Something else you can do is just use a regular credit card, and transfer the Paypal funds directly to your savings account. It usually takes Paypal (at least for me over here in the US) @ 3 to 5 days for a transfer, and again if you have the usual 20 to 30 day grace period, that will leave you plenty of time to send an online payment without being charged any interest.
Another idea is to bring a dvd of your ANH:R, tell the salesman what you are going to do with the camera, put the ANH:R on one of their dvd players so he (and the customers) can see it, get excited and lean towards saving the camera for you to buy. Of course a deposit might help too.

Big fan of the jump frame removal Adywan, but i've always disliked how long (14 frames or so) it takes for Luke to react to closing door.
I've quickly removed those 14 offending frames, cutting Luke out with an Animatte in Avid. I'm pretty happy with how Luke reacts to the door now rather than standing there for that little bit extra.
I've uploaded the video to YouTube.

YouTubes low quality does mask the dodgy outline around Luke and the door and also the flash colour change on Lukes getup. But all could be taken care of at full res.
Anyway let me know what you guys think. Cheers.

Well yes. I was about to say the slow reaction.
Still the transition should be more flawless and smooth to you vid.
+1 for the notice ;)

This is definitely better, but maybe not quite as quick a reaction as this. Maybe leave it a couple of frames longer, about 1/3rd of second?

well the money finally went on the card at 1pm today. so much for 24 hours to clear. The thing is that the camera on the site i was getting it from is now showing as out of stock
how much at the next cheapest store?
oh yeh, did i forget to mention that its out of stock because i purchased the last one? lol. I'm just awaiting the site to process the order now
Lol! Thats good news.

Damn you Ady, almost gave me a heart attack... you know April 1st is still over a month away lol Congrats!!!!!!

doubleofive said:nabakov, I like your reaction shot. I agree that Ady should move his reaction a bit closer to the door closing. The jump cut never really bothered me so much as his "spinning around really fast to see something that happened seconds ago".
i've just fixed this. he reacts quicker now
Happy days for us all indeed Adywan! Great news that you managed to get a good one for what's needed on this thing. :)
I also see you really liked some of vaderio's ideas then. I'm especially pleased that you liked his 'electrical' ION Cannon laserbolts concept. I can't wait to see your own finished version of that.
I'm going to post a lengthy follow-up very shortly about some remaining thoughts to do with the whole AT-AT battle sequence, and I hope you'll find something of interest amongst the different aspects of it. I'd like to thank doubleofive once again for kindly supplying the shots I wanted to show here.
