Here's a little something for all of you

[serai]

First of all, thanks to blackbird_song and westmoon for the lovely roses. *hug*


Now, for the goodies. Quite some time ago, I bought a DVD from Australia called Perverse Destinty. Don't know why it's called that, really. It has four very good short films on it. (I do like short films very much, and it's such a pity that seeing them is so difficult, even the ones nominated for Oscars!)

Now, I've only just recently acquired the tools to do things like back up DVDs, rip, etc., and have been having great fun learning about all this. Having backed this disc up onto a Region 1 DVD, I found I could now rip the files on it.


So, as a present to my friends list, I hereby present....*drum roll*

The Witness

(YSI link)


That's right. It's the short film Elijah made when he was just eleven years old, in which he stars with Gary Sinise. It's a .avi file, about 170 mgs. Please comment below if you take it, and if anyone can mirror this, I would greatly appreciate it!


WARNING: This is not a feel-good tale; it is a tragic story. There is character death! (You listening to me, Goldie?) Although the death is violent only in the sense that one person kills another - there is no blood or beating or bullets or anything like that - still, I thought I'd better warn you. So don't say you didn't know!


Enjoy! (If you take my meaning.)

I did download it. I knew the story, so it was nice to see it finally. Elijah was just so very good at these kind of roles. Actually, at ANY kind of roles. Thanks.

Question. What is the best way to mirror it? I can't figure out how "You Send It" works, at this point. I hate to be obtuse. I have a web server and I can certainly put it up there and provide a link, but I would love to know how You Send It works, in terms of "mirroring".

He is good in it, 'though I am glad he finally dropped his habit of registering negative emotions by wrinkling his nose. Made him look like a rabbit!

To mirror on YSI, you just go to their home page and fill out the send page. Then the file is uploaded to YSI, and it sends an email to you with the link to the file. Post the link and voila! It'll also list the link on the send page when uploading is complete. I usually just get the link that way, since you can't close the window until uploading is complete anyway.

If putting it on your server is easier, then whatever you like. Thanks! :)

I couldn't get YOU SEND IT to work for me -- it kept timing out mid upload. So I am going to link on my server. I will post here and on my LJ too.

Thanks again.

I am downloading it to watch later. Thank you, Serai, for putting it up here.

[serai1.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I figured not many people had seen it.

[starlit-woods.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh! Wow! You are amazing! Thank you so much for this I thought I'd never get to see it :D

[serai1.livejournal.com]

*grin* You're welcome! Just spreadin' the love.

I must have made about 50 copies of that when I first got it on VCD (about 4 years ago). Not a lot of people like it, unfortunately - although I think it's fabulous.

This is awesome!! I've been hoping to see this for years, it's one of the very few things of Elijah I don't have, and haven't even seen yet. Didn't have should I say, because I've got it now, thanks to you :D

As for the mirroring, what do you prefer? I've never mirrored anything from a locked post before. Usually I'll drop a YouSendIt link in the comments and link here from my journal, so people can get their download 'at the source' so to speak. If you rather not have this shared around, I can still drop the YouSendIt link here when I'm done uploading. If you don't mind if it's spread around, I can put the link up in my journal, and credit you. Or I could make two mirrors; one for in my journal and one for here. Which do you prefer?

Thank you so much for doing this, it's very much appreciated!!

And I finally got the file uploaded to YouSendIt (I always seem to be able to download in minutes what takes hours to upload, don't know if that's just me or if that's normal)

[serai1.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, DE! I'll post this right away.

And if you'd like to upload the file and link it on your LJ so more people can get it, that's cool with me. :)

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Cool! I'll do that :D

[elycia.livejournal.com]

Thank you SO MUCH! This is really sweet of you. There can never be Too Much Elijah. :-)

[serai1.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I agree, definitely. :)

[aquila0212.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetie -- so nice of you to do this for everyone.

[serai1.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, dear. Just spreadin' the love.

[too-shy.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

Ack, yousendit is down right now. Let me know if you need another refill, anytime.

[serai1.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I just checked, and YSI is up. The file is still there, so it looks like it hasn't been exhausted yet.

[keye.livejournal.com]

Oh, wonderful! Thank you, dear!

[serai1.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy it.

[elanorgardner.livejournal.com]

I did upload it to my website.

Whee! Thank you, Elanor!

[westmoon.livejournal.com]

It's so great of you to share this. :)

[serai1.livejournal.com]

How could I not share such a treasure? Actually, I've been wanting to since I got the thing, so I'm really glad I can finally do it. :)
