Thanks or all the kind words, maybe if there is enough interest and no rejections from the brotherhood I could look into blurring out the faces of the Men who don't want to be recognized? I don't want to turn this into a Federal case or anything but I do feel as passionate about the video as some of the members on here. I will leave it up to all of you. And so to make it clear the vid was done with much love for CR and DL and I think it would be more of an asset then a liability to all involved if the few faces of the men were protected. I will leave it up to you guys.

I think Brother Safecracker would have saved himself a lot of grief if he had made it crystal-clear that all participants were willing, even eager, to have their images shown. There has been ongoing discussions here about posting without consent, most recently a Thread by Brother BangBang57, and feelings on both sides run very strong. Mine is not negative criticism, actually if you include the disclaimer as a storyboard or some such at the beginning of the vid, you could probably re-post without objection by YouTube. Because the other posters are right--very professional and doesn't show us, the Chicas or the hobby in a bad light. It still might be giving aid and comfort to the Rodent and Company, but what wouldn't?

Hi Safecracker

I did a search and came upon this web site:

I hope that you can use the info.

Thanks Bobcat, I will check it out.

Safecracker-
If you can't get that "creating a blur" feature to work, I would be glad to send a picture of my smiling face for you to superimpose over anyone that is too squeamish to be seen in the Hotel of Kings. Someone told me when I was young to " live your life so that you can tell anyone, at any time to go to hell "--and it has seemed to work for me for 59 years

Lol, Now thats the spirit Diablo!

Yeap - excellent tutorial here showing how to use the "Travel Matte Luma" compositing feature in Final Cut Pro for the blur - just used it on one of my own creations - works like a charm...

But anyways - blur, schmurr - what I want to know is if any more (and more revealing) raw footage exists of the hot brunette in the room?

Also, curious how you did the menuing effect to introduce the video clips - was that created in Photoshop and imported?

Yes to more footage but no xxx, Wink wink Rough edit in FCP then exported to i-movie for comic book intro and transitions. Hoped this helps? Are you from LA?

new YouTube address, though it's only 240p:
