"The Eyeball
Kid" - .SCREENCAST.
of Extracting
an Oracular Orb with .Microsoft
PhotoDraw
2000 Version 2..
Soundtrack Song = "Cut Away"
by Blue Eyed Vinyls.
First MS PhotoDraw Screen Capture
[BLOGGED] May 28, 2009
.Premiere
Pro .
~ doesn’t really wanna know ~
about letting me edit footage captured
with .CamStudio.
– so this silent, real-time .film.of
me “painting out” an eyeball
in Microsoft's .PhotoDraw
2000 Version 2. -
is
<rawer than
raw>, unstripped of its
redundant entry and exit points.
I used a [Fixed Region] (with enabled
panning) sized 640×360
(to suit YouTube’s
widescreen presentation) and the Microsoft .Video
1 Codec.. The upload
was a 15MB .Windows
Media Encoder 9. file.
Right – so I’ve discovered
~ the wonderful .world.
of ~
~ panning (for gold) (~)
with the .Beta
Version. of .CamStudio
2.5.
and now I wanna grab more
"All
Kinds of Everything"
than you can shake the schtik of Dana
at.
Dana Sings "All Kinds of Everything"
(1970)
Looking like the Telly Test Card Girl, Dana (Knocks the Eurovision
Judges'
Socks off) with "All
Kinds of Everything" by Derry Lindsay and Jackie Smith.
I think I’ll keep future .CAPTURES.
to a
maximum of 8 minutes as
this lengthier
piece exceeded the gigabyte filesize that is
YouTube’s upper limit for the massed minions.
.SCREENCAST.
of editing a [Fire Hazard !]
Sign
using .Microsoft
PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2.
and then importing the resultant gif into .Adobe
Premiere Pro..
Soundtrack Song= a live performance of
"Burn in Hell" by Twisted
Sister.
.SCREENCAST.
of modifying a [Fire Hazard !]
Sign with .Microsoft
PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2.
to fit properly within a wooden snooker frame
(and MANY frames of film) in a [Poetic Post Card]
presentation composited with .Adobe
Premiere Pro..
.SCREENCAST.
of eliminating original text
from a soccer club badge using .Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2.
and then testing
the result in .Adobe
Premiere Pro..
I am
<ridiculously in love>
with
.Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2..
This excellent package, the evolution of
.Microsoft Image Composer.
(known to
users of .Microsoft
FrontPage.), was ahead
of its time, on release, at the turn of the
millenium.
I imagine it failed to win the (Windows)
following it more than deserved (and
CONTINUES TO DESERVE (!!!!)) because it
was marketed, as an "Office"
application
to businesses that were unlikely to have had
enough RAM (contemporary reviews suggested 64MB as a requirement) and general graphical
GRUNT installed in their low-end PCs to be able
to run it - thus they had no choice but to
disMisS
it and MisSout.
If you also enjoy .Microsoft
PhotoDraw 2000 V2.,
think you might have done, given the chance,
and would like to see it re-vamped and resurrected,
it's easy to send the software giant an e.mail telling
them so. They were unable to assure me that the
program would run in .Vista.
, .Windows
7. or
anyfuture operating system - so
I have no
confidence that my favourite software will run on
a new machine - therefore I have NO MOTIVATION
TO BUY and will ONLY do so when my current
computer breaks beyond all repair.
For me, a computer WITHOUT .Microsoft
PhotoDraw. is
*NOT*
A COMPUTER
If Microsoft
created a contemporary,
guaranteed-compatible, graphics solution
that only had to be AS GOODAS.PhotoDraw.,
I'd be able to make further
purchases from them.
I'd WANT the new OS and I'd WANT the arts package.
WHY
are Microsoft letting Adobe
and
the Apple Macsteal
a march on them ?
As it makes no (surface) SENSE,
did it make
them some ((green)back-handed) CENTS ?
Did they mothball
<<a winning product>>
because it was
VERY GOOD and
VERY QUICK and VERY
EASY
to use and therefore presents (nearly)
NO learning curve and so requires
<NO TRAINING> leaving
nospace for
people trying to make a living from $elling ¢our$e$
which generally seem to revolve around showing students
<<WHERE
the buttons are>>
in DELIBERATELY unwieldy
user interfaces constructed
by behemoths to baffle the blinkered and
preclude the POOR from PSD participation ?
Isn't
the <PICTURE>
the
<<BIGGER
PICTURE>>
?
Heh. "Our way or the Highway".
No way !
.....No wait !
STOP
!
Stop
your cringing and stop me
whinging by
making your mark an addition to the petition
...Now you've done that GOOD DEED FOR THE DAY,
you can reward yourself by playing :

when did Matthew

With the above clip of Sweep's
sweeping operatics
yanked from YouTube - be(come) (re)acquainted
with the trio of Sooty,
Sweep
and Soo
in this
excerpt from 1983's "Alphonse" :
Don't <STOP
!> Stopping
This isn't the first time I've made a
connection between "Stop"
and "Stomp".
"Here's one I made earlier..." is a catchphrase
from the classic (and long-running) British
children's television magazine programme
"Blue
Peter". That show's logo is the :
"Blue Peter Ship".
It was designed by Tony
Hart in .1963.
(and
possibly not (!!) in .Microsoft
PhotoDraw 2000
Version 2.). I make
a brief visual reference
to the "Visionary of "Vision
On""in my
[POETIC POST CARD] adaptation of "The
Tyger",
another "visionary"'s imaginings, which may be seen (and (not) not heard) at this link :
Here is the beautiful, organic calligraphic
animated title sequence to Tony
Hart's
television series "Take
Hart". I can't begin
to imagine the work that must have gone
into this <<exquisite execution>>
------>
Queen
Elizabeth I, on the other hand,
as her
own "exquisite "hand""
shows :
knew all there is to know about about the
"exquisite
executions" of the "exquisite
executable"
and could be be forgiven for not knowing
to call .Microsoft
PhotoDraw. by
the latter (not Latimer)
epithet.
