Please?

Ah go on.

Anywho, go to www.swordspines.com, and save that link on the front page... yeah, it's a big file, nearly 50 meg, but I PROMISE you it's worth it.

For those who haven't a clue what I'm going on about, or most of you, I'm currently animating the first story we all wrote together here on the forums. Go and download the trailer. Now!

Well at least start it. It's going to take a while, so get a move on now.

Oh right, sorry.

About four hours. However, it's best that you use a program such as getright [www.getright.com] to download it, because you can then download a bit at a time, and pause and resume it at will.

The school should have an appropriate player, Strafex. It's just an .avi file.

Yup, it's 320x whatever, and it's got music running over the background. I decided to keep the voices/soundeffects out for the trailer.

And yes, I'm going to burn the movie onto disc[s]... :0)

Even if I closed everything else down and just downloaded this single file, it would still take more internet time then I'm allowed. :-(

Still, the school computers supposedly have broadband so I might be able to get it from there.

just a few questions.

Do you need a movie player?
Does it have sound and everything?
Have you got a CD cutter? (there's no way you'll manage to upload the whole film if the trailer is 50Mb... :-D )

50 meg?

That's hours.
Broadband only, I think.

Still, it's nice to hear that the FoG stories are coming along.

I said you couldn't pull it off. Prove me wrong! :-)
