Although I submitted mine 6 minutes late (thanks to my capped internet), I at least had a working code submitted. Truthfully, I didnt get all the things that I wanted, but I at least had some visuals going on, as well as achieving lots of colour.
Ah well, I will work harder next time.

Problems...
I dont think I can get some of the code that I had in the beginning to work. I might have to reduce the Particle System, as well as eliminating the bubbles. I will admit I am lacking time management skills for this project, but trying my best.
However, I've decided to at least get the basic parts right. For example, I have resorted to a BeatListener class for my project because it seems a bit more effective in collecting the beats, however, its hard to collect the snare beats, working hard on trying to get it.
Also added two waveforms. Originally it was just added there just to see the beats, but I think its a
permanent addition now.

of the work. Needs more improvement, as well as movement of the bubbles.

Flight 404's Flint Ball
In my previous post, I wanted the bubbles to show out fire or similar. This is an example of how it may look, using Flight404's flint ball exam, which I believe is excellent:

I want to try doing something like this.Sunday, October 17, 2010
Implementing a Particle System
I want to use this Particle System (particlesystem4) from Rob Saunder's class for my bubbles. Basically, I like the particles to go outward according to the strength of the beats.
There will be also some added colour, with colours like red to show strong beats, as well as blue to show weak beats.

Kick Start Hat as a basis
I'm using the Kick Start Hat Minim example as a basis.
As a start, I'm borrowing off the code form the Quickstart guide: http://code.compartmental.net/tools/minim/quickstart/
I like this as a start because the example of how beats are detected is already shown, and ready for modification.

Minim - What I am looking for
If I'm aiming for a visualisation in music, I'm thinking of using the minim library.
After I presented in class, I have to admit the project I will be doing is very ambitious.
Bubbles.
Music.
Colours.
Particle Systems. <--- Maybe. This is what I am going to use for my project. I will admit that its been a long time since I have done processing, but I will do the best I can. Looking at the documentation from Code Log (http://code.compartmental.net/tools/minim/quickstart/), the quickstart code shown seems like a good place to start my project. And then possibly I would look into beatdetection and fft.

Thoughts on Future Project for Real-Time Multimedia
When this assignment was announced, I was thinking what I could do for it. My mind is made of random thoughts, and I love things that cannot be explained in real life. So while this is only some thoughts, I'd like to do something with the following:
- Music
- Bubbles
- Bubbles that explode fire o_0
Yeah. It doesn't make sense, but I'm thinking something like that.

Messa di Voce - Fluid
Direct link - http://www.tmema.org/messa/video/messa_ica1_fluif_01s.mov
What I find interesting about this Real-time multimedia is that voice and movement plays a huge part. The smokey, fluid substance on the screen is represened through the strength of the people's voices, as well as being produced from the location of where the person's mouth is.
Personally, I find it interesting that voice is used, and I would like to make a project that involves voice a lot.

SMASH! 2010 - AMV Competition Entrants
Hi all!
First of all, I would like to apologise for the sudden change in voting for the People's choice award for the AMV Competition. I have (as well as those working with me) had a couple of difficulties setting this up, as we have had some problems putting them on the main SMASH! site. As a result, the AMVs made by our entrants who have worked hard on them, will be temporarily shown here, on my blog.
As for voting for the People's choice award, this method has changed. The poll didn't come up as I had planned, so for those voting, they will be in the following steps:
1. You decide which top three AMVs deserve to be in the running for the award. So from 1-3 (one being the best), choose which three AMVs you want to see to win the award. For example:
1. My AMV by Renato
2. This AMV by Renato's Evil Twin
3. Some AMV by Renato's Alter Ego
with i. being the highest ranking AMV to win.
2. Send an email to renato.gaylican@smash.org.au along with your three selections. Very simple. Just put in your top three, and send it to me by email. I will then count them up once I receive it. Votes must be in before August 5.
Notes:
- The winner will be revealed at SMASH on August 7.
- If you are an entrant and wish to vote, you may NOT vote for your own AMV entries.
- In the voting, first place is worth 5 points, 2nd = 4th, 3rd = 5th
That is all to it. Once again, I totally apologise for this inconvenience, it was not intended to happen. But I must let the show go on, regardless of the problems I am experiencing.
Hopefully by next Wednesday, they will be back on the SMASH! site. =)
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Day 1: Sydney -> Tokyo
Although I am typing this in Day 2, I will still type this as though it was Day 1:
So I am now in my Tokyo Hotel in Akasaka, and it was a really long flight into Tokyo. But I am finally here. =)
Woke up at around 3:30 a.m. in the morning, since we had to catch a bus one hour later. I finished packing my bags the other night and now I was ready to leave. With my parents, we all said our goodbyes to my grandparents, and then left. We walked to Burwood where we caught the bus to the Domestic Airport.
We arrived at the Jetstar Terminal, 30 minutes before closing time (for check-in). I totally underestimated the amount of people there... all the check-in lines were full! There were long lines! For a moment I thought I was going to miss my flight, but luckily, we found a dedicated line for last minute Jetstar passangers to Cairns, and so we checked-in just in time.
However, we had a mishap with the Jetstar boarding system when my dad was refused entry to the plane. That was because my dad and mine had the same name, and the system only allowed one! Fail. Luckily a Jetstar rep came in and fixed the problem, and then we finally boarded the plane. However, we had a slight delay due to one of the cockpit computers failing. In the end, we left 40 minutes late, but it was no problem since we still had plenty of time for our flight connection in Cairns.
We arrived in cairns at around 9:30 a.m. (Queensland time) and we left the plane, got our bags, and then moved to the International Terminal. We checked in for the Star class line, since we would be in Star Class on the Jetstar A330, a Business Class/Premium Economy equivalent. We roamed around the Terminal for the next two hours until we boarded the plane.
Star class... I have to say... was awesome. We had a pre-flight drink (had Orange Juice), and then we took off into the air. Along the flight, we had the option of unlimted food! How awesome is that! Also, my feet room was much bigger than economy and I relaxed the whole way... Long flight, but it was comfortable.
We arrived in Tokyo (cloudy, windy and cold night) at around 6:30 p.m. and it took us almost an hour to clear Immigration. After that, we went down to the Narita Express station where we picked up our Japan Rail Passes, so that we could travel on all JR lines in Japan (including the Shinkansen=Bullet Train) unlimited. Then we travelled on the Narita Express to Tokyo. Although around 1 hour for the trip, the train (in my opinion) was already travelling faster than the CountryLink back in NSW...
Once we arrived in Tokyo station, we had to take two trains to our stop, which was Aoyama-Itchome station. We took the JR Yamanote line (the busiest railway line in the world) to Shimbashi Station. Then from there, we had to take a Tokyo Metro Subway to Aoyama-Itchome on the Ginza Line. The JR Pass does not cover this since the Tokyo Metro is not owned by Japan Railways. So we bought our one way ticket (130 yen) and it just took us around 5 minutes to arrive there. The disadvantage of these subways is that they lacked elevators! We had to carry our suitcases on so many flights of steps! After arriving at Aoyama-Itchome, we walked to our hotel (in the rain) which took 5 minutes. We checked in, and got oursleves a free amenity kit, as well as free water bottles! We finally arrived in our room and I just laid on my bed for a while before I typed this blog.
So that's it from me. Will enjoy tomorrow!
P.S. Internet is damn fast. =)

Two Conventions, One worker
So I have just learnt recently that I am now a staff member for SMASH, and Animania. The two Anime conventions that I have both attended and liked. Although I haven't volunteered in SMASH at all, I have done it in Animania, and I really like the experience. One day I hoped to do the same in SMASH. It seems I got sky rocketed to a higher position. lol
So why am I working for two different conventions that have their own qualities and unique things, and run differently? Well firstly, I love anime. I love to work in a convention and show other Anime fans what they can experience in a convention. Second, to promote anime, I joined both of them so that the fanbase in Australia can grow.
And thirdly, I took up job offers they both had, so I can achieve the first two reasons I just mentioned. So what are my jobs?
SMASH: AMV/Screenings Co-ordinator
Animania: Not sure, but likely Registration Manager, since I have volunteered in that one section for 4 years now
For those who read this, I would like to mention something. Both conventions have their own confidentiality policies, and I will gladly follow them. I totally swear by my heart, my soul, my religion (well I do have one, but lets not go further. :P), and my life that I will not share information, as I will not achieve the reasons that I mentioned earlier, if I break these policies. Both conventions are run differently, and I will work according to what they want to run. My ideas are made according to how they run, and I will be glad to follow the rules.
I'm just an anime fan, who wants to have fun, and also promote anime. This is never about competition.
Aside from that, I hope to enjoy working with them both! This is going to be an exciting year!
