I have an idea

Post by nephiliim »

I am going to try and put my toiletpaper roll and my reversed 50 mm lens in front of my hi-8 video camera.
Now the only thing is that if it works I would like to show it to y'all, does anyone know where I can host movies and then show it to you?
Sometimes smaller is better!

I believe the only way to do this, is to host the movie on another site (i.e., you personal web site) and provide a link to the movie on this forum.

Hi ya' Tom :D

Sue is correct. You would have to host your movies on a website of your own and then provide a link to the movie clips. Movie files just get too large to be hosted on a bulletin board like ours. Also, look into the many different video compression codecs. Saving video files with, say, DivX codec creates much smaller files that are easier to download.

Have fun :!: :D
