I said I'm sure this was accidental. I know it is my responsibility for not communicating clearly enough what sorts of edits were acceptable and which were not.

The only intention of my tone was to emphasize what I'd failed to express previously.

I still need your help on the project whenever it is available. There are still scripts that need writing, and still public filming sessions where someone better at crowd control than myself would be of tremendous value.

Ok, Marten, well just let me know. Except for Thursday, I'll have more time this week.

Surface life keeps sucking up my time. I'll finally have time to finish and send the update tonight.

I've just seen the D'net announcement. May I post some Dutch versions of it, around the web? (And the other translators for their language of course.)

Go for it.

The D'net announcement lost a little of the formatting (italics)... here is the original Smile

Erik · Posted: Tue May 08, 2007 2:40 pm Post subject:

Okay, posted on all Dutch websites and imagers I'm aware of. Cool

Just a comment on the download site... It has a comment to the effect that "if yer download is slow, refresh the site, restart it, etc". Maybe there could be a disclaimer as well though that these are awefully large files (the latest one is 50+megs) and will just take some time? Just a thought...

My download didn't take more than a couple minutes, but if you are trying to open it instead of download it, you have no way of knowing how fast it's loading, and after a little bit, I was wondering just how slow "slow" means... Wink

edit - Just watched it! Very nicely done, yer getting so good at transitions and special effects! My only comment is in the last conversation, probly in the early 11 minutes, where there's a couple sideshots of Thanakar that don't have other people in them. Later, his sideshots do have people in them. I think there was a time or two with one of the ladies where it was the same thing - in some shots she is surrounded by people, in other shots she's by herself.

But that was really the only thing that caught my eye! Great work Marten, thanks so much!

Believe it or not, all of those shots in Scene 3 were filmed contiguously, no doubles were used, and everyone was standing in the same place throughout filming (except for Grilox who linked in and walked up in a Santa hat). People appear to be missing from some shots only because they were standing just outside of the camera view.

PS: D'net rocks! Thanks for spreading the word, Eleri! Is there a list of sites to which D'net announcements are posted?

What a wonderful episode!

Posted on the CCN CavernCast feed.

RSS and download of the mp4 format:

http://caverncast.libsyn.com

The Mp4 format looks really good, Marten. Great job!

I also saw the post on DniNet -- would someone add the CavernCast link now? I tried to post and the site wouldn't let me. Dno why
