Obviously crappy equipment and software have not stopped me. :P

Time. I need more, free.

Also, I am constantly worried that the creators will suddenly decide to do something solid that will make everything I have said make no sense.

Anyone else feel that way?

Totally. The way I look at it you can't make a story that exists in Bree's personal world but you can make one that exists in her universe and sort of orbits around her world.

Or you just risk it, and if it throws everything out of whack, roll with it.

As long as it's from a character's perception, you can make anything work. Maybe someone just thought it was that way, and that character is just as surprised as you, the creator are.

Right. I chose to pretend to have info on the history of The Order (kind of) and to develop it which is a wee bold on my part. It's also risky. But hey, I can always just get rid of the videos 8)

My biggest problem is software. I use my parents computer, so I'm not allowed to download anything and am stuck with WMM. Which completely sucks.
That was the weirdest display of geekdom that I have ever seen in my entire life.

I use WMM too. It's not too bad except when you have a lot going on and the stupid program freezes.

I got some editing software with my camcorder, I can't remember what it was called. ULead or something like that. Well it really wasn't any better than WMM and I was very disappointed :( I was hoping for something good! :P

LOL CNG. PM me if you want to know about anything specific, but I have a feeling that you just don't know how to use WMM to its full potential ;)

:lol: Go right ahead. I spent quite a bit of time trying to teach myself how to use that program, so I'd love to help you out!

That goes for anyone else too :P I'm no expert, but I can try to help with any questions. WMM is better than people think it is.

Though I do wish it could more fancy things like what we see in the LG15 videos :P
