things one does for "art" videos:

1. Showering with camcorder + tripod under alternating arse-freezing / skin-scaulding water for 90 mins, risking personal health and steaming camcorder to malfunction
2. Risking on-screen indecent exposure
3. Forsaking personal reputation as normal human being by making excessive amounts of silly faces on camera
4. Not sleeping to edit 12 hours straight

All for a 2 min 18s long video and a "I liked your video" from all mighty prof.

ditto with Autocad Hell version 6.0 - camping out in the miserable Windows based Athena cluster paid off. Homework was used by prof in lecture as example of "good" CAD design. [er..huhmm] Too bad I cut lecture to catch up on sleep.
