Christmas Geekery

[gothick]

So. I got my minimum word count done nice and early today, and decided to take a break to chill out before trying to push on.

So, what does a geek do to chill out, coming up to Christmas?

Apparently, this (yes, sorry, more video. I know, I'm getting carried away, but hey, I seem to be on a fiddling/creative/something bender at the moment.):

Watch on YouTube

Ho Ho Ho...

Brilliant.

a. What was the music?

b. What software did you use to catch the video? Cos it was obviously speeded up for most of it, and then slowed down at the end. I'm presuming it's all Mac stuff, but is it really so hard to do something similar in Windows with a web cam?

a) It was The Alice Project (http://music.podshow.com/music/listeners/artistdetails.php?BandHash=31e8ebc97a94a98f4a001c5c9530f517), who I used because they're royalty-free (from the Podsafe Music Network). You can use it for podcasts, etc, as long as you put that link there in the "shownotes", which I guess I just did :) It was the first funny song with the word Christmas in it that I found when I did a search.

b) I just used iMovie on the Mac (having imported it from my digital camera; the reason the quality's so poor is mainly because I didn't have any decent lighting...) I'm sure there's Windows stuff that could do exactly the same (Windows Movie Maker, is it? Comes free with XP, anyway.) But it's only recently I've started playing with video, so I've never tried to use Windows for it.
