Here is a font that looks much like the Serial Experiments Lain font used in the series logo. It is known as loveletter.

I am going to use this font often…
The goal of this guide is to teach one how to create an Anime Music Video, not including the actual timing and editing of the footage itself that can found on YouTube or in the editors documents. This will help with the most difficult part of AMV creation, prepping video and audio for editing then exporting and encoding the completed Anime Music Video.
Throughout this guide I reference ErMaC and AbsoluteDestiny’s guides to all things audio and video version 3 (aka READFAG). What I wrote here is more-or-less an extremely simplified version of that text with ease in mind. The depth of their guide is excessive for easily bewildered beginners to the AMV creation hobby.
So, this is how you make a high video/audio quality AMV in 2008.

If you are a AMV creator or have read “A&E’s Technical Guides to All Things Audio and Video version 3 (BETA) ”, then you already know that you can resize 16:9 footage with lines like this
LanczosResize(720,360)
AddBorders(0,60,0,60)
But in my case, using Kino’s Journey as footage; the result from the above lines made the video look fat, widened.
To correct this I instead used lines below instead, which I came up with the original DVD footage dimensions as a reference point:
LanczosResize(720,408)
AddBorders(0,36,0,36)
With the above dimensions, the characters look more correct to the original DVD footage. I wanted to make this public to help others who were in my situation.
Comment if this helps!
Pictures from 2008’s Spring Fling Mopar car show in Van Nuys are up!
We only attended Saturday as the price of gas made this a one day event for us. Although I didn’t have plans to buy anything, we found the exact tach I have been wanting; a discontinued Mallory Pro Tach 1 657 with built in rev limiter and shift light!
I got it for 65 which is a good price considering that it usually goes for over $40 + shipping on eBay for USED.
Photography at this event is harder than other car shows since the background is almost never clean (people walking around in back ground and reflections in cars paint). I’m trying this new gallery feature with Wordpress…
