A Day at the Ball Park

Mary's class went on a field trip to the baseball park to watch the Whitecaps play. They lost. She was bored. But we still had a great time!



The video of the recital is still not done yet. Since it contains two video streams from two different cameras, the Microsoft Movie Maker doesn't handle it, nor does the open-source Kino video editor; my favorite editor, ZweiStein, which does handle multiple streams, isn't working on the Ubuntu machine yet. Having a bit of an issue installing it.

It probably won't turn out anyway. The cameras were too far away to pick up the sound correctly, and there aren't any face-on shots, just the backs of the players. One of these days, they'll have a camera up on the stage pointed at their faces as they're hunched over the piano. Maybe. Until then, just be assured that the kids did well, and the refreshments were yummy!

Speaking of videos-in-work, it's June now and the 1989 reunion video isn't done yet. I was really hoping to have it completed by the time we head down to Bloomington in July, ready to distribute on DVD. But there's a time-crunch issue: too many other priorities, not enough time to be off by myself, working on the videos. Oh, well, maybe next year.
