Bad Audio

I noticed that some of my old YouTube videos now have corrupted audio.

New version of Embryos from Earth:


I replaced the audio of the Old version:


An example of a video with corrupted audio:

In the Laboratory

I uploaded to YouTube a new version of the teaser for "The Nanoepitaxy of Susanne Marie". The new version includes a scene in the Laboratory of Archology Base when the new embryos from Earth arrive.

I'm still having trouble with what YouTube does to the uploaded file when there has been some digital processing done prior to upload. I tried to use iMovie to slightly darken the earlier "greeting" scene that was over-exposed. I my have made it worse by adjusting the contrast. Also, in the new scene, my digitally-synthesized voices came out even worse than last time.

Space Flight

I started experimenting with Bryce and made some computer animation scenes for a trip from Earth to a distant star system. A nice feature of Bryce is that multiple computers on a local network can be used to render an animation.

The worm hole was designed to have a series of 4 rings blast out as the ship entered. I need to go back and look at the motion paths in detail because rather than blast out in single file, the rings crashed into each other and bounced around.
