Our Lost World

On  the last day of Spikey's Immanion beach house, I took some HD/stereo video of the premises (in addition to all the photos).

For the hi-def streaming version go to http://www.megavideo.com/?v=29UDTH9B
When you first click play, a separate advertising window will open - close it and click the play button again.

Try to listen on earphones or with good speakers. I spent hours adjusting track volume and panning (stereo positioning of sound), which change as I wander around the property (that's me in my inception outfit).

You're right, SL doesn't actually sound this rich - I ADDED extra birdcalling, burbling brook, wind and thundering surf.

Techie notes: This movie also shows how jumpy mouse-and-alt camera controls are, which is why I can't wait to receive my smooth-panning Spacenavigator! This vid is also a bit jerkier than usual because I inadvertently recorded to my internal hard drive (doh!). I just nabbed a brand new Seagate Firewire800 external hard drive, yes I spend $$ on my geek toys but at least I don't buy sports cars, that's my excuse. Audio: I added three environmental-ambience tracks in Garage Band and used the track volume and panning controls.

If for some reason the megavideo doesn't stream, you can watch the You Tube version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbXsIq82bzk), which is lower-def but still good audio. The hi-def file itself should you want it is available at http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KIFUM21F  - it took Spikey about 20 minutes to download.
