My computer is just trying to aggravate me on purpose. Why else would it keep freezing on me? I've had to restart the program I'm using three times, and when that didn't help, I restarted the whole computer. I think my progress has been saved now since it actually didn't give me an error message when I tried to close the program. Every time I inserted a snowman, I had to wait about a minute for it to recognize the change I made to the game, then another minute for it to process what I've done. I'm now at the 7:40 mark. I want there to be about ten minutes' worth of shooting in this. Yeah, I know, shorter than Bubba's Buck Blastin', but I don't know how many more times I can take before I go crazy and smash the computer to bits with a sledgehammer. Well, first I'd have to buy a sledgehammer. Then the fun would begin. I'm thinking about quitting the project altogether since I'm beginning to wonder if the computer could handle it. The stupid video is only almost 14 minutes long, you'd think it would. So I fought with the thing for another 45 minutes, and only got 1 minute and 40 seconds' worth of footage done. At the ten minute mark or so, I'm going to put in a boss fight with the big snowman and then add the credits. But then the game would be silent. But if I do plan to finish the thing, I would have to add music. So I've been trying on my computer to transcribe "Winter Wonderland". It's hard. You'd think a simple Christmas carol would be easy, right? Not "Winter Wonderland". It's got key changes and everything. And any other songs about snow. I'd plan to include "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow," unless it's copyrighted or something. Or perhaps it'll be ten minutes' worth of "Jingle Bells". Then the music would switch to a minor key during the boss fight. And then have a silent ending. So I'd have to do 2 minutes, 20 seconds' more worth, then add in the boss fight, and then add in the credits, then make the music then call it done. If I have enough patience, something I'm not known for.
