A special treat: Russian short movie Butterfly by Andrei Khrjanovsky

[tarotsparrow]

Wow, that name had me flicking across my tabs to get it right, lol. I found an online tool called Mediaconvert that converts your files for free and so I managed to convert and upload the entire movie I was talking about yesterday to Youtube. Check it out! And let me know if you like it, because I have a handful of these and I'll upload them if you want to see.

Enjoy:

How come you have so many, if I may ask..? Maybe I'll make a new one anyway before I upload all this stuff. I'm sick of my psycheopteryx username. I feel like a fresh youtube start would be good. :) And you're probably right. I saw a warning video someone uploaded about how youtube could put you in jail but I see truckloads of copyrighted stuff on there all the time, and it's not a great enough quality imo to make it a crime. These are so obscure, if anything it could open people's eyes to them and make them hunt down a (rare) boxed set of the originals.

Because I only used them to make a comment and then forgot about them. I never post videos.

Do you have a cool favourites list anywhere? I don't take my youtubing seriously enough methinks. I need to spend more time creating a cool favourites list. Unfortunately it's a bit like making sandcastles in the sand...

More like a really uncool favorites list. I also have lots of playlists but I seem to have forgotten how to make new ones which is frustrating me. It seems like every time I get the hang of youtube they change the rules.

never mind, I think I just figured it out. I feel so smart now.

Heh.

My playlist should earn me a slap with a wet fish. It's pitiful compared to the flashes of intuition I sometimes have about how it could or should be. It's a matter of how much time you want to dedicate to it I guess.

So you better be adding these short movies to your faves! I'll upload more tomorrow. To come: Hedgehog in the Fog, Crocodile, Contact, and The Dinosaurs are Extinct. :) And maybe a few more for giggles.

I'll make a playlist of them.

[tarot-bird.livejournal.com]

Yay. :) You'll love them. Contact is good but the other three are amazing.

And now I know how to upload to youtube I am going to have to stop myself going nuts uploading the sesame clips I spliced into teaching aids when i was doing that... because they could be useful to others. I shared them as a torrent, for use in classrooms, and got good feedback. I'm not sure if the youtube format would be as useful. Maybe for parents. Hmmm..

You could upload them to youtube and then post them to lj's teaching sites.

That's a great idea. :) I'll probably upload a sample and see what people think, and then if they like those, upload the rest. Cool.
