Now it's not a tease about the video as there's no chance I'll upload it. Shooting it was worthwhile for the diagnostics but not for presentation.
The sound-activated LED is fairly effective but it is way, way the hell too bright. The result is some old guy playing a guitar while lasers flash around. That's about as sexy as John Boehner dancing the Watusi naked except for a Carmen Miranda hat.
(Ed: pictures?)
They exist but the CIA has given formal notice to anyone holding a copy. Show it to anyone and you will be murdered by sunup. Remember Vince Foster. He had a copy. The CIA said his death was suicide but no-one seems to notice everything they investigate turns out to have been an unfortunate suicide.
Sound-activation for lights isn't some big technological deal as DJ's use that approach all the time because it's simple and no programming is required.
The photographic aspect is as important to me as the music as this goes beyond virtual. RL has a framework that doesn't mean anything but looks solid. SL isn't solid but it still exists within frameworks, variable though they may be. In what I want, there is no framework of any kind beyond what comes from the light and the music.
To make this work is something required of just about any story and that's the 'suspension of disbelief' through which, for example, you believe Harry Potter's wand really does have magic powers. Suspending disbelief isn't so difficult as people do it every Election Day.
As with politicians, part of my mechanism for the suspension of disbelief is smoke but there wasn't enough of it. I have not been using so much as my lungs can't hack it too well plus it smokes out the whole house. Apart from those details, no problem and it looks cool on video. The solution is to set the smoke machine to run on automatic rather than waiting for me to initiate the flow. That will keep up a steady stream but it will make a LOT of smoke. That will require some annoying testing to get the flow adjusted right but that's part of it.
