RAR STUDIOS- RC Photos, Videos and other stuff

XRC May 4 2008

It took 10 hours to upload the photos. I think Comcast or Flickr (or both) aren’t happy with me! 

News and XRC photos

It is taking a seriously long time for these photos to upload! I started about 10am and it is now 2pm and about half way done. But it is 879 photos, so it is going to be a little while. I am proud of these photos, it is the best set I have shot in a long time.

OK, Hobbytown for the 22nd. I have stuff I have to do with my family on the same day. While I had hoped to get to the track a little late, about 1:30 or so, but it isn’t going to happen. I have only been to one Hobbytown race so far this year, which is a bit of a disappointment, but family comes first. 

XRC Photos

I took a lot of photos! When I finally got all of them downloaded it totaled over 1,100. And I have been going through them and got it down to under 850 or so, but ther is no way I can upload them tonight.

The website I out the photos, Flickr, says I have unlimited storage, I am putting that to the test.

So I will get the photos uploaded in the morning after I get some sleep.

Weather

The weather so far this season has been really screwed up! Since the season started the weather during the weekends have been bad, but during the week it has been nice.

This is really pissing me off.

Last weekend the weather did hold off during the day, but it did rain at night. But during the week it has been clear, for the most part.

And this weekend is not looking good.

DVD Project (Day 2)

While I am waiting for video to finish uploading, I decided to post updates of sorts.

Dave Hagy asked me to put together a video for the sponsors of the give-aways. And I surprised myself by finishing the rough edit last night! There is still some work on it, mostly titles and some graphics stuff, but that is fairly easy to do.

While video was processing I also started working on the DVD case and label design. While I am not entirely happy with the label, the front cover of the case looks great! A big improvement over my first DVD cover. I did learn the lesson that because it looks OK on the computer screen has nothing to do with how it will look on paper. I did know that, but I screwed up! But that lesson has been learned and I will remember it this time. 

So, that is it for this update.

Next DVD project!

This past weekend was the big Meltdown race at Nuclear RC in Parkton Maryland.
I had a great time, did a lot of walking up and down that damn hill! But I was the one who set up nearly as far away as is possible, so I have no one to blame but me.
Anyway, I got tons of footage from the race and I think a DVD is called for.
Here are the photos from the event.

APRIL 26 NUCLEAR RC

I will be starting the editing on Monday, and I am shooting for a two week turn around and have it off to be duplicated. I had quite a few people tell me they would like a copy.

As far as pricing, it is looking like it will be $15, and I will try to sell as many as I can directly. Which means I have to get my PayPal account straightened out, damn!

But, I will also have copies with me everywhere I go, and I will post my schedule here.
