I'd like to start with a huge thanks to Massecure360.
This amazing man has just sat through 34 separate pieces of film, all recorded at an event that he couldn't even attend. (Real life happened.)
In order to even do that, he had to do some technical wizardry. It took me about 13 hours to upload them all. Guthix only knows how long it took him to download them at the other end. But then, disaster! The film had all been saved in a format that his software couldn't access. Fortunately, a brief Google search later introduced us to a free downloadable software, that allowed this format to be converted into a workable format. However, they all had to be individually rendered or something like that. It looked like a big job, involving several hours of time (that could have been otherwise productively spent playing Runescape). I offered to do it. Massecure360 waved me away. He'd get on the case.
Bear in mind that he wasn't even originally the person who was going to edit it all together. It was all filmed with another volunteering editor in mind, but he had to back out. (Real life, as is frequently the case, happened.) I did one of those 'Massecure, I :( you PMs' and he was only too happy to step up to the plate.
So that's how lovely Massecure360 is as a person. Then you get to see what he did with those 34 separate pieces of film. I saw them in the raw form, mainly because I filmed them. I'm not an artistic type of woman. I'm more your 'point and click and hope something decent comes out of the other end' camerawoman. My main goal in life was to get a snippet from every event (though I had to regretfully miss those which happened while I had Dream Spell activated). The next day, I watched them all back, just to ensure that there were none hidden in there that hadn't recorded, or was picking up aliens or something. My face was a bit like this: :( I'm not exactly Steven Spielberg over here.
On the bright side, I don't have to be. Because Massecure360's talent exists in the world. All I had to do was hand it all over; and what happened next was this:
Thank you, Massecure360. :(
