Big Weekend

This weekend my brother broke two bricks with his fist.

 

I would show you the video and be all, “My brother is a THWOMP!”, but I was dumb and didn’t realize that when I took movies with the camera sideways, the movies wouldn’t rotate.  So I have a bunch of awesome shots of him earning his second degree black at a 90° angle.

 

I told him to say he’s got awesome ninja powers to stand on walls.

 

Poor sucker’s pretty sore today.  I’m surprised he can move—I couldn’t after my test.  But he seems to be feeling darn accomplished, and it was a spectacular test. Congratulations, Dude!

I downloaded a free app called Debut that lets me manipulate videos. I'm pretty sure one of the options is to rotate the frames, you might want to investigate that.

*investigates*

Does it manipulate videos from other files?

[dreams-cametrue.livejournal.com]

I have manipulated videos that I recorded with my digital, if that's what you mean.

Okay, I've downloaded it. But how do you get the videos onto the program? It doesn't seem to want to recognize them ...

ooh... handy. Remind me to look into this too. Does it also let you lighten videos that are too dark? My camera screen shows everything much lighter than it turns out once I download it to my computer.

What kind of martial arts is this?

Tae kwon do.

I'm glad I'm not the only one!! I have a lovely video of an apprentice geisha from when I was in Japan, and she too seems to have the mystical ability to dance on walls.

*coughs* glad to know I'm not the only person who made that mistake with my little digital-camera-as-video-taker. This year I'm looking forward to getting some good clips of my brother's performance in the circus! I bought a new 2GB memory card today :)
