3 Weeks To Go!

18 September 2009.

Only three short weeks remain before AstroBanana are united in eternal bliss. Somehow, the countdown clock seems to have intensified once they started to count down in terms of weeks. Eric Banana has been so busy at work that he has not accomplished much for the wedding preparations last week. He did manage to finalise the wedding montage last weekend though. The wedding montage was created with Adobe Premiere Elements 4. After generating the AVI file (which came up to a monstrous size of 1.91 GB), he wanted to create an iPod Touch-friendly version. The usual conversion software he uses was unable to convert the file successfully. He then realised that Adobe Premiere Elements 4 was able to create a compressed version for iPods and iPhones. The compressed MP4 file was only 62.1 MB in size.

The final product for the wedding montage was very much in line with Eric Banana's original vision. And he did everything himself at zero cost. More importantly, it has been approved by Astro Girl! Yes! *wheeee* The only way to get a first-hand viewing of the wedding montage is to show up on time for AstroBanana's wedding banquet. Members of the working committee can get an exclusive sneak preview =)
