The only reason im not devastated and suicidal right now is because it wasn’t a technical issues(technical issues are my personal hell). It was a copyright issue. I replied to them asking to elaborate but im gonna have to make some changes to my unlockables… its annoying and sucks.. but at least its not a technical issue…
I published on android, lets see if they will have issues…
i updated whats kim looking at on android and am doing iphone versions now. Client game is on hold till i get paid and can pay outsourced indian dude to make something for us. after i update iphone version of whats kim lookin at i will get started on zombie crisp updates.

time to go home, did great work tonight, cut up all the footage and placed them in right spots, took awhile because i wanted the cuts between the game and the hopping to feel right so i put extra effort into the cuts.
445am
got some more trailer work done.

3/1
434am
whooo hunkered down and got started on the trailer, felt a bit intimidating honestly cause i’m still not very familiar with video editing and there were a few things i didn’t know how to do BUT… i figured out a way already tonight and got the footage lookin pretty good 🙂
I had to cut some of the video on the right side and center it and i was able to do all that with just the zoom video effect which is cool. The video is a bit more pixelated because i had to scale the size of the video to remove black bars to the left and right, but it just occured to me as i’m writing this that i can use the sharpening effect to maybe mitigate some of the issue hahaaaa! but yea that was the hardest part i think, manipulating the actual video itself. The rest is just cutting it up and inserting game footage in the right spots… and syncing a separate audio file to it which actually might not work out in which case i won’t have any audible talking in the video, i don’t think it’ll really be that bad because the body language is strong enough. Whatever we’ll see what happens 😀
