I added 2 more slots at the end. Reserved for @dansimco / oceanics.

:heart_eyes:. Got my battery pack coming this week. Iā€™ll get up and do a test run and make sure the sun will be there at 6:30am! Edit: And make sure there is a strong enough uplink

hereā€™s a poster for the upcoming live stream, feel free to share. I did it with the expectation/willing into being those two later spots will be filled

Iā€™m hesitant to put my name down again for this since I did the first stream, but in case we run out of oceanics, Iā€™ll put my name down for the last slot :smiley: Am happy to move off if thereā€™s more interest from others though!

this is such a cool and inspiring idea - go lines!

once i am a little more comfortable with playing some improvisational/longform pieces on my model:cycles (hopefully within the next couple of months) i will jump at the chance to participate.

I did my location scouting this morning and confirmed the sun clears the horizon at 9pm UTC :slight_smile:

That means I will need to extend with an extra spot, correct? No problem at all! So excited for this. Anyone else based Ā«eastĀ» that wants a spot?

I think the current last slot will work well actually, I dmā€™d @samarobryn earlier to see if we could do a little swap of those two slots. Otherwise no big deal. thereā€™s still light before clearing the horizon and itā€™s all very weather dependent.

Nice! Also, having the last slot means you can go beyond the allocated 20 mins :wink:

Donā€™t make me too nervous! haha I just hope it works

Haha. No worries. I might do a stream from the family cabin porch this week to test streaming over LTE. Will keep you posted in the streaming thread.

#254

Iā€™ve swapped places with @dansimco :smiley:

I think it actually might be a nice segue since itā€™ll be around 4am my time when I start my set, so hopefully thereā€™ll be some interesting pre-dawn sounds from me before dansimcoā€™s dawn set :smiley:

For the overlay video, I found that I couldnā€™t play the ProRes 4444 format MOV file on my Ubuntu 20.04 system. (I can probe/manipulate it with FFmpeg, but OBS Studio, VLC, etc. wonā€™t play it.) It turns out WebM supports alpha channels (like ProRes 4444) and has a ā€œlosslessā€ encoding option, so I did a conversion with these settings and tested the output in OBS Studio. Alpha and FPS are preserved with a final filesize around 8MB. Hereā€™s the FFmpeg command I used: ffmpeg -i overlay_animation.mov -c:v libvpx-vp9 -lossless 1 -auto-alt-ref 0 overlay_animation.webm

I thought Iā€™d share this in case anyone wants to weigh in or it helps someone else using Linux. Iā€™m working with @tyleretters on visuals for 2.0, and I plan to use my WebM output instead of the MOV. I canā€™t upload the WebM due to being a new user but happy to share if anyone wants to review.

Video is such an intense craft.

Hi! Iā€™m sorry everyone, I have to drop out of my slot. My wife surprised me with a little vacation to a cabin out in the woods for my birthday so Iā€™ll be out of town this Saturday. Would be a perfect spot to stream from actually but I have no idea what the WiFi situation is out there but I donā€™t think itā€™s good enough for streaming audio.

Taking my name off the schedule now. So sorry!!

I am going to have to beg off. I was going to do a complete video stream with visuals etc. I have reached a point where through testing - I needed one more piece of equipment and I wonā€™t be able to order and integrate it in time. I have removed myself from the slot. Sorry.
