I'm goin' for the extra points...
Authored by: Bellboy9000 on Feb 16, '04 06:02:20PM

I really like Snapz Pro and I hope that there is a functional demo available because I don't want to dump $70 for a program that doesn't do what I'm looking for (in capturing video).

Oh, and (drum roll) the movie is The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. ;-)

Tell him what he's won Johnny...

We have a WINNER! You've won an all-expenses paid trip to the Caribbean ... unfortunately, after taxes, what you're left with is just the pleasant feeling of having won something.

There is a demo available, it's on the site linked at the top of the article. I believe it will demo the movies as well as still images, stamping "demo" across the images or somesuch...

Great for web folks

This new version has already MADE me money. I'm a web designer with REALLY big sites... they can't be represented very well with screenshots, or flash animations, or locally, or with a case study... a succession of the best pages need to be displayed to properly put the work in its best light.

I've been dying DYING to have something that would take full browser window caps at 30 FPS or better for about a year now. Snapz x2 finally does this, and does it VERY well. Now, in addition to delivering working HTML comps to my clients, I can deliver a working movie so that they know what they SHOULD be seeing. It has been invaluable, and will only become more indespensible as time wears on.

I'm excited to finally get my portfolio in order.

Thanks Ambrosia.

Dude! I knew I'd seen that somewhere, but I couldn't remember. That movie ROCKS!

BTW, the newsgroup server here at WPI is called bigboote.wpi.edu :D

I was very pleased that Bonzai was available on DVD. And it is a really good version. It has many scenes that were cut out that show real paranoia in the characters regarding an arch enemy of Buckaroo. There is also another opening scene showing the death of his parents (if I remember correctly, his mother was played by Jamie Lee Curtiss, but it has been some time since I had seen the footage.)
