Hello lovely Buzznet people!

I've decided to post a Journal to pleed for an extension for my video editing project :P

The questions have been asked, and the answers have been given...unfortunatly there's a whole lotta crud that's happened meaning the extreme delay in the making of this video.

Firstly, I almost finished editing the video with this program called "pinicle-videospin" ...and then the 14 day trial ran out. So, i decided i may aswell take the plunge, and register what i thought i needed for the program to work again...forking out a huge $10. Boy was i excited. It took 3 or 4 days for them to get back to me with a registration key for the mpeg decoding/encoding (jargon converting files), I put the key in..and what do u know, i can see my video...but wait, whats missing? Oh right, i need to purchase the audio codecs...for a further $10. Now, that seemed a bit sneaky to me  - tell me i need this one thing, and then suddenly another unexpected charge pops up. So i decided to be sneaky and try to download a cracked version of the same program....BIG MISTAKE...yay, Virus central. :(

Moral...dont be sneaky.

Ok, and now you ask...where is it now? Well after all that mess I downloaded an antivirus thing (yes i paid for it) and my computer is back up and running sweet as...although i have to start the editing from the start. Here's the clincher. The new legit program i have doesnt recognise the type of file format created by the video camera. Haha. awesome ay?

So....Im working on getting something that can convert MOD files into an mpeg or an avi. It seems we may have lost the original CD that came with the camera (o_o).


So in summary, can i please have an extension on my work?? My dog ate it. :)


* UPDATE  15.05.08 *

Progress? Whats that? I've download numerous file converters, and nothing seems to want to work...stoopid MOD file format! It has been discovered however though, that the software that come with the comera is capable of doing this file converting business...problem here is we dont have a copy of the CD anymore (dont blame me, it's not my camera). So....this weekend I'm gonna head to the shop the camera was bought, and see if they can hook me up with a copy of the software!

...fingers crossed


* UPDATE  27.05.08 *

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yes....the video is finally finished! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Now all i have to do is upload it...which i will be doing tonight, so the wait is almost over! :D



* UPDATE  28.05.08 *

Haha, awesome, so I uploaded the video - I had to leave my computer on all night to do it though...and i checked it from work...and there's no picture.... :O thats weird. You can listen to the audio though if you want :P (no idea why you'd wanna do that) But if for some reason you want to the link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WgJXMB5LEY . I'll upload it again tonight...hopefully it'll work this time :P If not...i'll just keep trying. At least you cant say I'm a quitter!


AND HERE WE GO!
(with the picture and everything!)

Hey everyone!

Don't fret! but the long awaited video to some of your Q & A's will be up at the end of the month so look out for that and don't forget to buzz it and suggest it to be a featured video on Buzznet. We will also be putting up some new photos too after a photo shoot we had with a friend, Jordan Arts who is amazing, so look out for those soon too.

And yes!! two shows coming up in May! which is NZ Music Month.

May 3rd will see us play at KFC in Takapuna. There is a competition going on where you can win some awesome prizes. First are regional heats then a final then the winner! We won our region so that explains us playing at KFC. We'll be on from 11am - 11.30am. So if you live around, near, or far from Takapuna come see us play and show you're support.

May 23rd will see us play at The Masonic Tavern in Devonport with Inverse Order and Simple Day. Show will start at 8pm, costs $10 but it's R18. So if you're under 18 please try make it to the KFC performance, we'd love to meet you!

So thats all for now. Hope you are all doing well and keep sending us notes because we love to hear from you.

Yup!

We should have it up for all you lovely people in the next couple of hours.
A huge thanks goes out to all of you who have buzzed our photos and have got us into the Top 10 on Buzznet. It means the world to us! You got us to 100 buzzes in 24 hours! which is insane! haha

We are almost at 500 buzzes so if you haven't buzzed any of our photos yet, do so quick so we can get to 500 haha.

Also, when the surprise is up, go crazy buzzing on that too, maybe get us in the Top 10??

<3333333 Quarter 2!

So, we're not sure if we're on around 7pm, could be around 8pm, but keep a listen out for us! I'm sure it'll be going live, if not I'm sure we'll make up for it!

It's almost the end of the month, wich means, that surprise we are planning for you all is jsut around the corner!

<3 Quarter 2

P.S: Keep you buzz on, on the pics you haven't buzzed and if you haven't buzzed ANY pic, what are you waiting for?!

Hey all!

Thats right, we are playing an acoustic set on KiwiFM this Tuesday around 7pm so keep an ear out for that. This will also give a chance for all our fans overseas to hear us too because KiwiFM is streamed live from their website: www.kiwifm.co.nz
Just click on that link to be directed straight to the website. If you are able to listen to us please let us know what you think by buzzing and commenting in this blog after our set.

Until then
Keep buzzing and commenting us!

<3 Quarter 2

P.S: There is a clock on the website which will be in NZ time so you will have some sort of indication of what time we'll be on and what time it'll be in your country.

All you awesome fans keep shocking us each day! haha, that I think we're going to have to stop posting blogs about our recent buzz-increase coz it keeps changing making the recent blog not applicable after a couple of hours!

Thank you all so much, from the bottom of our hearts.
There are new photos up to be buzzed. We're #8! crazy! but a good crazy!

Thanks again for everything.
Love you all heaps.

Over night we went from 41 buzzes to 135! it's crazy! and a big thank you goes out to all who have buzzed our pictures. The goal was to get 100 buzzes by the end of the month but you guys certainly showed us that it can be done in 24 hours! haha.

So keep on buzzing and surprise us!

The little something something we had planned for you all when we get to 100 buzzes is still in the works and it'll still be given to you all at the end of the month.

Shall we try aim for 500? or 1000??

Keep us guessing

<3 Quarter 2 x infinity to the buzzers!
