1 Year Anniversary

As you've heard we've put together a little video as this is the Syrk project's 1st birthday, so to speak. Link here.
It is absolutely fascinating that my dreams are coming to fruition. We've progressed an incredible lot in the last month and the RL issues stopped interfering with my business :)

This video was a real nightmare to make. I've spent 15 and a half hours (no kidding) making it, in less than 24 hours. Basically my daily program was sleeping+video making.
0) I've spent one hour searching for the correct soundtrack.
1) Recording the raw material with Fraps. Oops, we've updated the mod and all the missions (and now the old FS2-made ones) are unusable. -> Rewrite the missions from scratch along with dragonsniper.
2) I went to sleep after we've finished the mission rewriting - it was 05:00 here. Tomorrow (today :D) I decided to finally film all the stuff.
3) I've went through the missions (like 1 hours total) only to discover that the recorded file got corrupted.
4) I've went through the missions (like 1 hours total) only to discover that Fraps didn't record anything at all.
5) I've went through the missions (like 1 hours total) only to discover that the Ulead VideoStudio can't use .avi files.
6) I've converted the files to .mp4 . Didn't work again.
7) I've converted the files to .wmv . They've worked but it looked like crap. I've dropped Ulead and went back to the dreaded Windows Movie Maker.
8) I've made the video but it turned out that the raw material wasn't enough. Went back to recording again.
9) I've uploaded the video to YouTube but after 40 minutes it aborted the upload.
10) I've uploaded the video to YouTube but after 40 minutes it aborted the upload. No mistake, I've tried it again and it aborted it again.
11) I've converted the video to .wmv . I uploaded it, it looked like crap.
12) I've uploaded the video to YouTube AND FINALLY IT WORKED!

Damn... that was a long day...
