Haven't done anything on this the past week. I've been working on the slideshow parts of the video and it's become a real chore. I sort of want to continue that corny computer graphics vibe I went for in the title cards of my last video to hopefully make them somewhat interesting to look at, but i've been trying to find a system to make them easier to produce. I tried out Adobe After Effects but it turns out trying to draw a solid 1 pixel line in that is a damn chore since it wants to anti-alias everything. There's ways to prevent that but it was alot of jumping through hoops just to get a single line.
So i've been trying out some terrible software called Game Maker Studio, which was on sale for 1p a few weeks ago. It's designed for producing crappy 2d games so should be ideal for what I want to do. So i'm trying to freshen up on scripting, which I haven't done in years, and it's taking a while since the documentation for that software is really all over the place.
In other news, Rob Wilson dropped off that blower and it looks ideal. He said that fume hoods often use the venturi effect to pull the air through and I didn't realise what he meant till he was gone, but that's actually a great idea for keeping the blower out of the path of corrosive or explosive fumes.
