About Riding Dragons

There's only one choice when it's all falling down.  You've got to ride the dragon.


This is proof of dragon riding.  It really doesn't prove it was tonight but I couldn't hold up a newspaper as I can't remember the last time I even saw one.

Maybe the song is "Demons and Butterflies" but it's definitely about refugees dying and Justin Bieber crying ... about something else.  It's not his fault and he's not to blame as he's just the one we see and the others are just the same.


The video has completed rendering but it has a number of demerits.  I threw out the video from the second camera as the aim was wrong.  A lot of this is guesswork ... whoops.  The lasers don't come into it until halfway through.  Whether that was stupid or devious remains to be determined.  Without the second camera it looks more stupid than devious.  We'll see.

The biggest of all is the audio sync.  After ten minutes, the audio sync is off by over half a second and that sounds like a nit in text but you can easily detect it in listening and you'll see it in watching.  Our eyes are keenly tuned to syncing motion with sound ... otherwise we get eaten by saber-tooth tigers.  Since they're gone and we're not, I conclude syncing sound and motion is important.

Unknown whether to upload it.  This is all-out maniac wah-wah screaming guitar, blazing and demonic, crying in every possible way this guitar can.  It's speed for frenzy and I'm sure that's captured but less than sure it will be understood for what it is.

I'll preview it and crash as it will take at least an hour to upload it so that will keep for the morning.  Besides, dragons need sleep too.

(Ed:  and butterflies)

So they do.
